The calculation of a given tenant's share of an expense can be complex. A general system is to divide it up by the tenant's rented area compared to the total available rentable area in the building. This is often used for items that are truly shared, like the gas used to heat the building, or the electricity used to run the lighting and air ...
To determine and redefine its position in the housing market, the HDB was reorganised, transferring the provision of flat loans to private banks, [19] and corporatising its Building and Development Division to form a new subsidiary, HDB Corp. [20] The HDB increased efforts to engage residents in its provision of public housing in the 2000s.
Build to order (BTO) is a real estate development scheme enacted by the Housing and Development Board (HDB), a statutory board responsible for Singapore's public housing. First introduced in 2001, it was a flat allocation system that offered flexibility in timing and location for owners buying new public housing in the country.
In 2009, the HDB introduced the Lease Buyback Scheme, under which the HDB buys a proportion of the housing unit's lease at current resale prices. Additional schemes, such as the Silver Housing Bonus, under which the homeowner moves to a smaller flat, and the two-room Flexi scheme consisting of smaller flats with shorter leases, were introduced ...

Rules on CPF use and HDB loans will now focus on whether the HDB can last the owner for life, unlike on the HDB's remaining lease previously.

As with the current scheme, the enhanced grant is given to Singapore Citizen only (not Singapore Permanent Residence spouse or an undischarged bankrupt), and can only be used as capital payment for the flat purchase. The balance, if any, must be used to reduce the mortgage loan before a housing loan from HDB can be granted.
This amortization schedule is based on the following assumptions: First, it should be known that rounding errors occur and, depending on how the lender accumulates these errors, the blended payment (principal plus interest) may vary slightly some months to keep these errors from accumulating; or, the accumulated errors are adjusted for at the end of each year or at the final loan payment.
