Hi all, I’ve looked around the forum but it seems no one has had the same situation as I do.


My current home is <1km of the school we want to register for, but we had gotten a BTO which is estimated to be ready in the third quarter of 2026. This new BTO is further away from the school (between 1km and 2km)

The thing is we can’t be certain when the BTO will be ready, but we cannot move in to the new BTO before Jan 2027 because we will need to stay in the current flat for at least 30 months in order to be eligible for the 1km priority.

In the event that the new BTO is indeed ready by the 3rd quarter of 2026, what options have we got? Is it possible to drag out our occupancy at the old flat for another few months until we meet the 30 month requirement? Or what else can we do?
