Retail sales assistant Joyce Loh and her husband were supposed to get the keys to their new Build-To-Order (BTO) flat in Bukit Batok last month but will now have to wait till the start of next year.
Their block in West Plains @ Bukit Batok is one of several in BTO projects facing a longer delay of up to nine months, in a revision of an earlier estimation of six months, the Housing Board (HDB) told The Straits Times on Wednesday (July 15).
“Just a few months ago, my husband and I were quite excited and discussing when we can move in this year.
“We have already shopped for furniture and put down a deposit at an interior design company, but now our hopes are crushed,” said Ms Loh of the extended delay.
The 29-year-old and her husband have been living apart in their respective family homes since their wedding in October 2018.
In May, HDB had said that the completion of some BTO projects is expected to be delayed by up to six months due to the halt in construction works during the two-month circuit breaker period which started on April 7.
