Summary

• The government will focus on Vers (Voluntary Early Redevelopment Scheme) with "no plans to do any more Sers" (Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme).
• Vers aims to redevelop older estates progressively, starting in the 2030s, to avoid mass relocations in the 2070s/2080s and will likely start "with a few selected sites".
• HIP II (Home Improvement Programme II) will be more extensive than HIP, with new detection technologies for older flats; HIP II and Vers aren't mutually exclusive.

SINGAPORE – The Voluntary Early Redevelopment Scheme (Vers) for Housing Board flats will likely begin with a few sites in the first half of the 2030s, said National Development Minister Chee Hong Tat in a long-awaited update on the scheme.

Looking ahead, the Government will focus its efforts on Vers, with no plans for further projects under the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (Sers), he told local media outlets in an interview on Aug 5.

Mr Chee also gave an update on Home Improvement Programme II, or HIP II, which refers to the

second round of upgrades that HDB flats will undergo

, to last flat owners till the end of their 99-year lease.

Under both Sers and Vers, the Government takes back flats before the end of their 99-year lease to redevelop them and meet housing needs.

While Sers is a compulsory scheme, which gives the Government full discretion on which HDB precincts to redevelop, Vers will involve home owners of selected precincts aged about 70 and up choosing if they want their homes to be acquired by the Government for redevelopment, before their leases run out.

Under Sers – which began in 1995 – home owners are compensated based on the market value of their flats when a project is announced.

The terms of Vers have not been finalised. Mr Chee on Aug 5 set out the timeline for its implementation, in the first significant update since Vers was

announced at the 2018 National Day Rally

.


“In this term of government, our aim is to develop and flesh out the Vers framework,” said Mr Chee, who took office in May following the general election. The next election must be called by 2030


This includes “setting parameters to identify possible Vers sites, ensuring sufficient homes are ready in time for residents who are involved in Vers to relocate to, and working out a fair package for Vers residents”, he said.

“Unlike Sers, which involves precincts with high redevelopment potential, there is less financial upside to Vers, because the flats will be older, and hence the terms will be less generous,” he added.
