BTO or Resale Flat: A Feng Shui Checklist
Choosing between a BTO flat and a resale flat is a practical decision. Use the same questions for both, so you compare the homes and not the sales pitch.
Compare the layout first
- Which way the main door faces, and what is in view when it opens.
- Where the bedroom and toilet doors sit relative to the main door.
- Where the kitchen and stove sit, and whether they are close to the bedroom.
- The balcony and window openings, and the light at the entrance.
Compare the block and the road
- The block direction and the road in front of it.
- The lift lobby, the corridor and the void deck, and their position against the door.
- Noise, traffic and tall structures close by.
Compare the timing
A BTO flat has a long wait and a fixed completion schedule. A resale flat can often be viewed and taken over sooner. Choose the timing that fits your plan, and check both homes with the same questions.
What we do not do
We do not rank flats, and we do not say that a block or a town is lucky or unlucky in general. We read the unit you are considering.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is a BTO flat better for feng shui than a resale flat?
Neither is better in general. The unit, its layout and its surroundings decide the reading, so we check each home on its own.
What should I send for a check?
The floor plan, the unit number and the block, and the birth details of the people who will live there if you want a Bazi-based date.
