Non-Selection of HDB Flats (BTO or SBF)

What Am I Thinking?

How many times can I reject HDB flats?
What happens if I reject HDB flats?

This is quite a common question.

First Timer Family:

First timer families who do not book a flat on two occasions even though there are flats
available will have their subsequent flat application(s) moved to the Second Timer category for one year.

Of course, if you continue not to book a flat on another two occasions after you have been moved to the Second Timer category, you will remain in the Second Timer category for another year.  This applies to those first timer married couples or fiance fiancee.

Second Timer Family:

If you are a second timer families who do not book a flat on two occasions, you will not be able to apply for a flat in the subsequent public sales exercises for one year.  This applies to those second timer married couples or fiance fiancee.

First Timer Single:

​If you are a first timer single aged 35 and above who plans to buy 2 room flat (99 year lease) in non mature area under the Single Singapore Citizen  (SSC) Scheme, if you did not book a flat on two occasions, you will not be able to apply for a flat in the subsequent public sales exercises for one year. This is because 2 room flat (99 year lease) in non mature area under the SSC Scheme is only for first timer applicants.
