Very nice! l have also just moved into my SERS two-room flat (47 sqm) in West Coast Central. Before the key collection, l anticipated a shoe-box size unit. But to my surprise, it was spacious and had a big square layout literally no awkward space that goes wasted. A neighbour dropped by and complained that his three-room is small. l was shocked to see three rooms had very little living space as most space is taken up by the service yard in the end you get a tiny kitchen, room, toilet and living room.

The biggest mistake in these 2 room flats in the older design like this one is having a bathroom without being able to erect a shower enclosure. After bath, the bathroom floor will be all wet and it takes time to dry. During this time, it will be slippery and a safety hazard especially for the elderly. The more recent 2rm BTOs design have only one door access to bathroom which allows occupants to erect shower enclosure if they wish, which makes sense after all the flat is so small, why the need for 2 access?

In your opinion. I like this. Larger living room and kitchen. It also seems possible to divide bathroom it into 2 smaller ones. Only thing is idk if there's a way to bypass regulations and if any contractor can do the pipping works. Japan architect/ID would be able to. Not sure SG.... Kitchen side will have pull out shower like on yatch/RV. While master side will be normal instant heater shower.

It seemed like these flats under the two-room Flexi Scheme are actually targeted first and foremost at the elderly. That’s where the “flexi” part comes in. Under the 2-room Flexi Scheme, elderly citizens have the flexibility of choosing the length of lease on their 2-room flat, based on their age, needs, and preferences.

@@sittiismail3076 The surviving tenant can extend the lease (increment of 5 years) after existing lease ended. Need to pay for the extension. If the person passes, HDB will refund the remaining unused lease. I don't think HDB will take over the house as long as you remain living there. Having said that, if you are 55yo, you are encouraged to take up at lease 40-45 years lease. The older you are (eg 65 and above), the lesser length of lease you will need and also more economical.
