BTO Feng Shui Guide: Before You Move In

A BTO flat is chosen from a plan, so the layout and the direction of the block matter more than they do for a flat you can walk through. Most buyers look at the floor plan, the block and the surroundings first. A feng shui check looks at the same things, in the same order.

• The main door and what faces it when you open it.
• The bedroom door and the bed position, and whether the bed lines up with the door.
• The kitchen and stove, and their position relative to the main door and the bedroom.
• The toilet doors, and whether they can be seen from the entrance or the dining area.
• The balcony and window openings, and how much light comes in at the main door.

• The block direction and which units face the main road.
• The lift lobby and corridor in front of the door, and whether the door faces them directly.
• The void deck, car park and any tall structures or high-voltage lines close by.
• Noise and traffic at the times you will be home.

Many owners choose a date for starting renovation (groundbreaking, 动土) and a date for moving in (入伙). We offer both date selections. See the groundbreaking guide and the move-in guide.

Feng shui gives a reading of the layout and the surroundings. It does not guarantee any outcome, and it does not replace building, legal or financial checks.
