nope singles get nothing from hdb if anything more restrictions.
Anyway frankly how many people will actually have to pay for the
upgrading (i.e.own the flat when the upgrading comes around). Not
many leh.
Hmmz I remember reading this interesting article or website that
counted out that the different between citizen and PR was only
about a few hundred a year or something evened out over the years
and I think if single male, you actually made a loss.
you'd have to pay for the upgrading if you hold the deeds to the
flat when the bill comes around (actually, that means that the new
owners of a newly bought flat may be hit by the bill when it comes
around, so keep that in mind when shopping for newly upgraded
flats, must ask if the upgrading bill comes around already)
case in point, there's a three bedroom I knew recently that just
went through upgrading, owned by a malaysian PR, he needed to sell
urgently, cos there's going to be lift upgrading soon, singaporeans
have to pay something like 1 or 2k for lifts on everyfloor, he had
to fork out something like 11k if I remember.
when upgrading comes around, PRs sweat.
