Evening Lynn,

In reference to your first question, it would depend on which block in Bukit Batok are you staying in and which area in the west are you looking at. Based on your statement, you might have purchased a resale unit using housing grant and purchased a BTO before. No Singaporean are eligible to two housing grants.

As to why you are not eligible to purchase BTO even though your spouse have not applied for any BTO before? Married couples are considered as one entity unless broken by means of divorce. Technically speaking, having sold at least one subsidized unit will allow you to have some cash in hand, compared to those newly weds. Thus it's only fair that they be given higher priority. Alternatively, you may choose to purchase resale unit and getting half grant, the component where your spouse have never utilized before.
