And it was booked!

So, last Wednesday, Mr. Fiance & I went to HDB to select our BTO flat! 

I was so excited that I can't even concentrate on my work. (I took half day leave since the appointment was at 2.45 pm) But then along the way I fall asleep coz the journey was just too long. Itulah,  excited sangat sampai ngantuk. Just imagine going to Toa Payoh from Joo Koon, jauhnye mintak ampun. 

We reached 20 mins earlier and took our queue no. Then we patiently waited and staring at the display board, praying and hoping that no one takes our chosen unit. Hahaha.... we are ridiculous like that. Actually, mostly me. Ding Dong. our QUEUE NO. Like a small kid, I was shrieking and go "Eh, kita punya number lah! Kita punya! ohmygosh ohmygosh, tak sabarnya".

As expected, the whole process was short. not really short but short. Maximum around 20-30 mins. Alhamdullilah, we got the block and unit we wanted. $2000 pun melayang macam gitu aje. Rumah punya pasal.... semua pun sanggup. Now we just have to wait for the letter for our next appointment to pay our down payment. 

This part here is crucial. If your AHG is approved, and have sufficient CPF, you should not need to top up CASH. If you calculated and have to top up CASH, get ready your money by then. It will be around 3-4 months after the flat selection. 

Just to share:

Few things to note before going for the flat selection.

1) Have your application form filled and signed by both parties.

2) See if you are eligible for AHG (Additional Housing Grant). If you are, print out the form and fill up.

3) Bring and photocopy all the required documents (we both forget to print out our yearly CPF transcation, lucky for us, the lady let us print ours from her computer. Fail to bring certain documents, you have to go down to HDB again to submit.)

4) Plan which block / unit you prefer and have other options for backup. (Have to decide on that day.)

5) The booking fee (Cash / NETS)

I guess that should be it. Also, in the letter given they will state all the documents that you have to bring along with brochures of the flat that you chose.

Let's wait for the next appointment!
