THE 4-ROOM MATURED ESTATE SYNDROME

An ex-colleague recently lamented he failed to get a number in his 13th BTO attempt. I asked which estate he had applied for. Bidadari.

Having expressed my thoughts on Bidadari some posts earlier, I was familiar with the fervour in which potential applicants had favoured 4 and 5-rooms units there.

I asked why the decision to apply for a 4-room unit rather than a 3-room given there were no plans for children? The ex-colleague replied it was for the potential rental of the two additional bedrooms for income.

With the high number of applicants for the said 4 and 5-room units at Bidadari, I would say the chances of getting a queue number is small, but not impossible. 

For those who hankers after a 4 or 5-room unit in a matured estate, the wait can be long unless lady luck is smiling upon you. For those who need a flat for a small family of three or less, the 3-room units at Bidadari were expectedly less subscribed. 

Good luck in your future applications. Knowing where the betters odds lie will favour you.
