Hi,

I have also look at the flats at Sengkang but i find it's too far for me. Staying and working in Jurong now and bf ataying at AMK. He prefers to stay in AMK.
 
Oic... I staying in woodlands now. use to live in amk...like the place very much cause childhood memories and very accessible to all places. but dun wan wait too long till 2010...some more the new say end 2010 then complete..everything settle still may need drag till 2011... we wouldnt want to tie the knot so late..=p

Hi,

I'm getting married end of this year. Our plan is to stay with his parents first.

Actually he quite like one of the resale flats but i dun like cos of the flooring so din buy in the end. You know it turn out to be one the flats being enbloc. A bit disappointed but no choice lor.
 
icic... wow getting married at the end of year. congrats. rom or AD?

how long been together b4 marriage??...
 
my friend is currently staying exactly in this Ang Mo Kio area which is being enbloc, at blk 249, 5-rm and he has been offered a new flat at this area. No idea if he is taking up this offer.
 
Thanks smartwin!
Both on the same day. ROM before my dinner starts.
Actually being together for abt one year plus.

Wat abt you? So you will get a house first before ur marriage?

D, why your friend not taking this offer?
 
actually, he is deciding whether to sell it in the open market now, to people who want to chope the place when it comes in 2009 or take HDB's offer to buy his current place.
 
Hi Yen,

Me n gf have been tog for 3years. i suppose i will get a house first because need to do renovation mah. some more HDB requirement is take key within 3 months must produce ROM cert. so we will rom, buy house then renovate then AD.

=p

D, how much ur friend selling?
 
Hi Smartwin,
1st of all, welcome you all 1st if you all planning to move to AMK..hahh.
By the way, we oso renov 1st, ROM, then plan for the Customary. I think HDB take more then 3 month then send us the letter in request of marriage cert. Not to worry , cos they R quite understanding.
 
Hi Yen, i'm kinda in e same situation as u... staying in west area but bf in amk, and he prefers to buy amk flats... congratulations =>
 
Hi

I am also interested in applying for a flat at this area. Anyone knows if i can buy a 3-rm flat here and then apply for a 4-rm replacement flat later?

Pls advise.
Thx.
 
Well... if i have not read wrongly, pls do correct me if i m wrong.

U may buy a flat under SRS Enblock scheme. if u are a first time buyer, u can apply the HDB loan. at mid 2007, HDB will write u a letter asking u to book ur replacemet flat. u can still enjoy HDB loan on ur replacement flat later.
 
haiz... last year when government starts to tear down the flats, i was hoping that it will be build soon... never expect still got to wait till 2011 for it to be complete.

to the pple with experience, may i know when during the construction u may be able to collect ur keys and move into renovation?

my gf and i getting married in ard 09. we haven got our flat. was waiting for amk. but the news come out to be completed in end 2010. will it end earlier?

if not, den we would be planning for the EA flats at sengkang. the only disadvantage is that the flat there already more than 5yrs..
 
hi smartwin,
actually it all depends on HDB... How fast the contractors can finish the work! But to say that they will finish the building of the flats by 2011, think they had also include in the buffer time... just in case things happen on site.
 
hi all,

is it advisable to buy a flat under SERs and then be invited to choose a replacement flat?

Am I paying more for that???

Kind of confuse abt it...

Hope to have some advices...
 
Hi all,

Me oso interested in this area. Anyone has friend staying at those blocks being En-bloc? Does the resident already have the pricing to the new flats as in how much they need to top up to change for the new flats?

My concerns also same as smartwin, will we be paying more if we buy those en-bloc flats now and later top up to get new flat. Anyone can share their experiences?

Thanks in advance!
 
yup, can anyone who has experience in this give some advice... was wondering if i were to buy a 3 room flat being en bloc, am i paying more? wat r the concerns involve?

i m thinking of buying a 3 room flat there den during replacement period, buy the 5 room at the new site. am i wise in doing so??

please advice...
 
Hi all.. I have called HDB regardnig to buy the resale flat now.

Please note that u will not be entitled any housing grant if u buy a flat announced under SERs. Next, You will not know how much u will be compensate until the compensation package is out from HDB. Every Package for each household is different. It all depends on the value and benefit of the owners who sell u his flat. so it is advisable to get the owner to request a certificate of eligibility of rehousing. because if the prev owner does not qualify for upgrading, u will not be entitled for upgrade too. ie to say, if u buy over his 3 room flat, u can only buy 3 room or below if he is not qualify for upgrading. there are many factors to determine his eligibility. so make sure u get all facts right before u act, as u are actually buying over his benefits.

also note that if u have bought the resale flat under housing grant, u r consider to have taken up the first concessonay grant. the replacement flat u be taking will be considered as 2nd housing concessionary loan. u r entitle to only twice such loan. so be wise and do all calculation before buying any flat announced under SERS. most probably u r making paper loss... definitely. juz imagine, u r paying 3% stamp fee and levy fee already when u buy the flat. when u get ur replacement flat, u r paying another time stamp fee and levy fee. that is the loss u cant take back. well, only if u really want to buy the flat at amk, because that is the only way to boost ur chance to get a flat there. HDB may let out remaining for balloting selection. that has to depend on the number of flat left. there may or maynot be surplus. also take note, u may not get the priority to choose the flat. balloting is all depends on luck. also on ur eligibility. thou there r sayings 1st time buyer and people whose parents live nearby are prioritised, these are jus sayings heard and has no concrete supporting facts.

cheers and hope u may get the flat u want...!!!
 
hi all
i also waiting for amk flat.. but anyone kw where is e location at?
smartwin, is it mean that if i am interested in the amk flat and i wanted to take e HDB loan, i have to go down to the hdb hub and apply for the loan for wait for letter to ask mi choose my flat?
thanks
 
hi reinn

you can download the application for loan letter via hdb website and mail the original docs to them within 7 days if eligible for loan.
 
hi all

i'm also waiting for AMK flat too.

Smartwin, i saw the thread that you posted on the release of HDB flat in AMK. Anyone know when and where is the exact location?
 
nemofc,

location: the junction between amk ave 6 and ave 1. opp bishan park. used to be BLK 309 there. however please note that these are replacements unit for SERs of blk 245-252. so only when HDB finish with them then they will consider putting out either thru ballot or WIS.

Chances are slim... but u can try to wait if ur AD is still far...say in 2010. the projected dates of completion is in 2010. but may be earlier. HDB inviting SERS owner to book the units this year... i think in 2nd half of the year... public... i predict next yr... but which of next yr i m not sure... it may be in 2009 too....
 
thanks nemofa
find so long den i find the page to submit the loan form... read through so many things to take note and i v impatient to read all.. hehe
i am afraid once my application is approved they will ask mi to choose tho ulu place which i am not interested lor... v confuse.
 
hi edwin

Thanks for the info. AD was last June & currently staying with in-laws. Wanting to have a home of our own.

Hi Reinn

The loan letter is to check whether you are eligible to finance a home. It can be either for purchasing a NEW or RESALE flat as long as the type of flat (say 4room) is the same. I have checked it out earlier.

The earlier you apply & get approved is better. Cos' if HDB launch new flat that you want, even you don't have the approved letter then you can't apply for the new flat.

And the loan letter is for 3 months. Once expired, you can reapply if you have not get a flat yet.
 
nemofc,

well, den it should be ok for u to wait for the release. amk is an area full of lives...=p (its my childhood grow up place)

well...about the loan letter, reinn, u r right. the sooner u apply the better cause when u go down to make ur booking fee... u submit it on the spot. save some hazzles. please take note if u r taking a bank loan, u have to get the loan letter from the respective bank u went to. hdb loan no issue, jus do it online from the hdb home site.

cheers!
 
i tink 4 room flat is good enough right but den heard from my friends say tt flats now v small lor. even though i went to the showroom at hdb hub is indeed v small
 
nemofc
that is y i v confuse... shld i get a bigger unit or a smaller unit and maybe concentrate on the deco
 
hi reinn

it all depends on your financially & your planning.

else, get resale unit (4rm), can be 104sq

for me, if can't get NEW unit, i will opt for resale unit.
 
Hi all,

I'm also interested in getting a HOUSe in AMK.
Have any idea roughly when we can go for WIS or Balloting ?
I guess alot of ppl will be aiming at houses in AMK.
 
hi dkaren...
i also dun kw when amk start for wis or balloting... but den i just apply for e hdb loan so if amk start wis or balloting at least my docs alreadi prepare.
 
Hi Reinn,

How long does it take the doc to be processed if we apply for the loan letter ?
If i'm not wrong that the loan letter only valid for 3months, can we keep apply for the letter ?
 

edwin...
let's say if my loan is approved. would they call mi and ask mi whether which location i am looking at or i have to go down personali to tell them?
