Comment on 5 scenarios that can disqualify you from getting HDB BTO first-timer applicant benefits by 99.co

In reply to <a href="https://www.99.co/singapore/insider/scenarios-disqualify-hdb-bto-first-timer-applicant-benefits/#comment-223382">Elaine</a>.

You will be considered a 2nd-timer if you have bought a flat from HDB before, took a CPF Housing Grant to purchase public housing (such as DBSS, resale HDB, EC), enjoyed other subsidies (eg. SERS), or transferred a HDB flat bought directly from HDB or a HDB resale flat bought with a CPF Housing Grant before.
