To many Singaporeans, the Selective En-bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) is one of the best possible outcomes for their HDB flat. The compensation is generous, your lease is topped up to 99-years again, and you have a whole list of replacement units to choose from.
But only a tiny minority of HDB estates are likely to see a SERS exercise, and the odds aren’t high. This week, we talked to J, a Singaporean who timed his HDB purchase just right and reaped the best benefits of SERS.
The Tanglin Halt SERS, and its early signs
J is a longtime Queenstown resident, who – as we write this – is soon to move to his replacement flat in Dawson. His previous home was in Tanglin Halt, the site of Singapore’s 79th SERS exercise (some of you may remember these flats, as the same ones that used to appear on our $1 bills).

We’ve done a full review of the BTO launch sites for May 2021 and will do so for August 2021, so do follow us for updates later in the year. In the meantime, however, we’re taking a special look at Queenstown and Jurong East, as these are likely to be the main hotspots for the year.
