More singles securing HDB flats after 2013 rule change

Singapore

MORE two-room build-to-order (BTO) flats will be offered in the non-mature towns of Choa Chu Kang, Tengah and Woodlands.

This comes as 15,700 singles secured homes following a rule change in 2013 which allowed singles aged 35 and above to buy new flats as first-time applicants. Of the lot, about 7,700 have collected the keys to their new homes.
