HDB Selection - Fernvale Palms

Dear and I applied for the Fernvale Palms BTO project in October 2009. It was our 4th BTO application. Due to the previous disappointments, dear and I didn't went down to HDB Hub to look at the model.

I am a year late to start blogging about application to HDB. Thus, I will record as much as I remember.


We received a letter dated 8 Jan 2010 that we were invited to attend the selection on 19/1/2010 and our queue number is 21. : ) We are getting our flat. The sad thing was that I have to fly to China to conduct the Downtown Line escalators First Article Test. Thus, dear and I came up with 21 choices of flats as dear needs to make the decision on the spot at HDB without me around.

We were checking on what are the remaining flats through HDB website everyday before 19. In the end, dear and I got our first choice and we were like the 6th or 7th to choose. The 2nd good news - dear and I are eligible for Additional Housing Grant(AHG).

Info

1) It cost $10 for every BTO application.

2) Only 1 owner is required to attend the flat selection, although a couple attending it will make it sweeter and better.
