Will I be subjected to PLH if I am applying for the current Sales of Balance Units

If you are applying for the current Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercise, whether you are subject to the Prime Location Public Housing (PLH) model depends on the specific flat you select. Some SBF units are from projects developed under the PLH model, while others are not.

If your chosen SBF unit comes from a PLH project, you will be subject to the PLH rules, which include a longer Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) of 10 years, restrictions on renting out the whole flat, and a requirement to return additional subsidies (known as subsidy recovery) upon resale. PLH projects are typically located in prime areas such as the Central Area, Queenstown, Kallang/Whampoa, and Bukit Merah.

If your chosen SBF unit is not from a PLH project, the usual HDB rules will apply, such as the standard 5-year MOP and typical eligibility and resale conditions.

To determine if a specific unit is under the PLH model, check the official details provided for each flat during your SBF application or review the list of PLH projects launched in recent sales exercises.
