About BTO key collection and first entry dates
HDB sets your key collection window, so you usually cannot choose any day you like. Use this page to compare the appointment slots you are offered and pick the best-rated one. 收 Receive days are a natural fit for collecting keys.
Collecting the keys and moving in do not have to be the same day. Renovation usually comes in between, so pick a separate good day for the first entry (入宅) once the flat is ready. Our moving house calendar covers that.
Good days fall on 成 Success, 開 Open, 定 Stable or 收 Receive, with no Destruction or Close day, year breaker, season-change eve, Yang Gong taboo or Hungry Ghost month day.
Questions about BTO key collection and first entry dates
HDB only offered me dates in an Avoid week. What now?
Pick the best-rated slot you can get, ideally one that does not clash with either owner. Collecting keys is an administrative step. Many families save their date selection for the first entry and the start of renovation, where they have more choice.
Does the time of the appointment matter?
If you have a choice, a morning slot is traditionally preferred. In practice the day matters more than the hour, so do not give up a good day just to get a morning slot.
What about Hungry Ghost month?
Many families prefer not to collect keys or move in during the 7th lunar month, so those days are greyed out. If HDB’s window falls inside it, collect the keys and do the first entry after the month ends.
Should we check both owners?
Yes. Add both birth years and the calendar hides days that clash with either of you. If you plan to live with parents, check them on the moving house calendar when you choose the move-in day.
Is renovation start a separate date?
Yes. Breaking ground (動土) has its own rules. See the renovation calendar, which also lets you avoid the day’s Sha direction for the side of the flat being worked on.
