The subsidy clawback has been set at 14 per cent for the Bukit Merah project and 10 per cent for the Bishan one, which is located in Upper Thomson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Two Plus projects, Kebun Baru Breeze and Kebun Baru Ridge in Ang Mo Kio, have subsidy recovery rates of 8 per cent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Prime and Plus flats, which are closer to the city centre, transport nodes and amenities, come with stricter resale conditions, such as a 10-year minimum occupation period (MOP) and a subsidy clawback upon resale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The clawback means that when such flats are sold, owners will have to pay the Housing Board a percentage of the resale or valuation price, whichever is higher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The remaining three projects &#8211; Sembawang Brook, Sembawang Portico and Woodgrove Acres in Woodlands &#8211; fall under the Standard classification.

said in a Facebook post on June 17 that more than one-third of the flats in this exercise have wait times of around three years or less, to cater to homebuyers who wish to get their flats sooner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">From this sales exercise, more flats will also be set aside for eligible first- and second-timer families with three or more children, he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The allocation quota under the Third Child Priority Scheme will be increased from up to 5 per cent to up to 10 per cent of flats offered in BTO and Sale of Balance Flats exercises.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">The eligibility criteria has also been relaxed to include families expecting their third child.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Chee said to meet the needs of singles and seniors, nearly one in three units, or about 2,300 of the flats on offer, are two-room flexi units.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">These flats form part of the 20,000 two-room flexi flats to be launched from 2026 to 2028, HDB said in a separate statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">HDB said applicants who wish to improve their chances of securing a flat are encouraged to apply for projects with lower application rates, such as a rate of one or below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">Applications for the flats will close at 11.59pm on June 24 on the HDB Flat Portal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-body-baseline-regular text-primary\" data-testid=\"article-paragraph-annotation-test-id\">In the next BTO exercise in October, HDB will offer about 7,960
