Hi,

Yes it is possible, may I know which new launch and the unit type you are referring to? In your scenario, we will try to request with developer for extension of time, but it is subject to approval.

Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 homeowners transit smoothly with their housing plans. Please reach out to me at 97432395  for a more in-depth discussion :)

May I have more info on your requirements so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and looking forward to chat more

New Launch Buyer Mr. Huang : While we are searching for an agent to help us with purchasing a unit at a new launch, we get to know Ivan from PropertyGuru. Initially we had issue with the funding. Ivan has been extremely patients with all our questions and ideas during financial planning. Our ballot queue is not in the front, however Ivan has always been able to propose options for us to eventually get a decent unit that both my wife and i liked. Being the first timer ourselves, there are always so many questions marks and unknowns. Yet Ivan has been the one single person that we can always rely on, be it financial, legal, or even renovation related. The follow-up is literally within a snap of finger - we could always expect an accurate reply within minutes. It's a short and eventful journey, we are really grateful that such an outstanding and committed agent like Ivan is around to support & guide us along the way. A big THANK YOU to Ivan for the great effort and commitment.

Condo Seller

Mr & Mrs Wee : We would like to share our appreciation and commendation to Ivan for their professionalism and dedication in handling our property transaction. It was a great pleasure to work with him as he was patient throughout the entire process and explained to us and clarified any doubts we had without fail. He was also very prompt in responding to all the queries we had. While we were unsure if we were able to sell off the property in time, Ivan constantly reassured us that it was possible and offered his professional advice. In fact, he managed to secure an offer to sell the property above our expected price while concurrently negotiated the buying price for our next property. Having Ivan as our agent significantly made the entire process seamless and fuss-free. We will definitely recommend Ivan to our family and friends. Read More

1) Yes. Can issue cheque.

2) Time to sell your condo: Depends on your condo location and facing. Can be 2-3 months. Also, this new launch likely under construction, will take another 3 years for completion.

If you need further clarification, WhatsApp me at 94517639  Read More

Hi,

Yes you can. However, if you're looking to avoid ABSD, the buyer of your condo has to exercise the OTP before you exercise the S&P for your new launch condo.

If you have the funds to pay for the ABSD first, then you can take your time to sell your current condo, and then apply for ABSD refund (if you're Singaporean and the purchase is being bought as your first matrimonial home), upon the sale of your current condo. You have up to 6 months after the new launch TOP to sell your current condo in order to get back the ABSD.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile +65 97 48 63 05. I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi Sir/Mdm,

It is NOT ADVISABLE to book a unit for a new launch before you sell off your condo. This is because once you book the unit, you will have about 5 weeks to secure a buyer for your condo. Failing which, you will either need to forfeit 25% of your booking fee or proceed to buy the new launch but pay the Additional Buyer Stamp Duty.

This is the reason why you should not book first as rushing to sell your unit definitely wont be able to get a good price. Moreover, the new launch market is not as hot as before and you will likely still have a chance to get a unit after the initial phase.

Please contact me privately so that I can understand your situation better and provide you with more informed advice and assistance.

Testimonial from my Clients
We have the privilege to work with Nick on our recent house purchase and we are extremely grateful for all the help he rendered to make the purchase a seamless experience!
Nick is attentive to all the requirements we have for our purchase and in the short span of time, he was able to provide us with potential shortlisted units that meet our criteria. (A big lifesaver for family with young kids and limited availability!) When conducting a viewing, Nick is highly proactive as he can be seen taking notes, asking questions, checking the conditions (that we missed or never thought of) and etc.
Overall, Nick remains reactive and portrays professionalism in this entire process. We would definitely recommend him to our friends and family who are looking for their next home/move opportunity.

Jeannie & Victor (Buyer) Dec 2023
Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a property of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.
Susana (Buyer)

Nick is very pro-active in helping us to resolve whatever questions and problems that we encountered. All the issues are settled even before us having to request or ask for a second time. He was very frank and transparent with all the details, limitations and advantages that we wouldn’t have known. I think this is the most important virtue to be successful in this line. I will surely recommend him to anyone who needs his service because I trust that they will be equally satisfied!!
Mr and Mrs Chan (Sold and Bought a property through Nick)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations.
We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House) Read More

You will be risking on being subjected to Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty for your purchase in this case. The buyer of your existing property has to exercise the Option To Purchase before you can exercise your Sales & Purchase Agreement for your own purchase in order not to incur any Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty, which is usually under 3 weeks.

I'd suggest not to rush into this but prepare to have your existing property sold first before making a move for your purchase. There are more than enough units out in both the primary and secondary market for considerations so there is no need to rush into a decision here.

Generally, you need to sell your current property before completing the purchase of the new launch: If you are successful in the ballot for the new condo, developers usually give a specific time frame within which you must complete the purchase. This is often within a few months.
Steps to Take:

Check Developer’s Terms: Review the specific terms and conditions set by the developer for the new launch. This will give you clarity on any requirements or deadlines related to selling your current condo.
Consult with Your Real Estate Agent: Your agent can provide guidance on managing the timing and process of selling your existing condo and purchasing the new one.
Prepare Your Current Condo for Sale: To ensure a smooth transition, consider listing your current property as soon as possible if you’re committed to purchasing the new launch.
In summary, while you can put down a cheque for a new launch before selling your existing condo, be prepared to manage the timing and financial requirements carefully.

Hi there, great question! Here’s what you need to know:

- Yes, you can still issue a cheque for a new launch even if you haven’t sold your current condo yet.
- If you're balloted successfully, you typically have about 8 to 12 weeks to exercise the Option to Purchase (OTP) after securing the unit. This gives you some time to sell your current condo.
- However, if you plan to buy another property while still owning your condo, do take note of the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) which applies for second properties.
- You might also want to secure a bridging loan to help with the financial gap if needed, allowing you to complete both transactions smoothly.

Feel free to connect if you need further assistance with your sale and purchase process!

Thank You.

Hi,

It’s generally a good idea to sell your current property before committing to a new launch unit for a couple of reasons:

Avoid Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) on your second property.
Prevent Rushing Your Sale: This way, you won’t be under pressure to sell your condo quickly to meet tight deadlines.

That said, a few factors can influence this decision:

The Specific New Launch: Some developers might allow deadline extensions, which can give you more flexibility.
Details About Your Current Property: Its demand, pricing, and how quickly it’s likely to sell are all important considerations.
Feel free to share more details, and I’d be happy to help you navigate your options!

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
-- My husband and I wish to commend the sincere attitude and good customer service rendered by
your staff Jenny, who handled the sale of our 5R HDB flat early this year. We have met several
agents but none as genuine as Jenny. Being a seller agent, she took our interest at heart in handling
the sale, unlike other agents who are self-interest. Jenny is punctual and prompt in the whole
dealings and we were convinced that such an agent is hard for find nowadays. Jenny is a
trustworthy, honest, sincere and hardworking agent. We are happy with her service and would
gladly recommend her to our friends in future. Jenny is an asset to Propnex and the organisation
should value her. Thank you Jenny for her efforts--
Mr and Mrs Soo (HDB seller)

--Jenny is very committed and responsive to her clients and she has spent hours updating them and
looking out for great deals and even tailor-made property proposal geared towards their needs. Will
certainly refer her to others and will definitely approach her again in her future--
Nick and Kim (New launch buyer)

--Jenny did a great job helping my wife and I sell our unit. She took active steps to walk our
neighbourhood to understand what she was marketing. During the marketing period, she managed
potential buyers and provided timely updates and recommendations so we could stay on top of the
process. Overall, Jenny was professional and helped us to achieve a positive result which we are very
thankful for--
Aaron ( HDB seller)

--Jenny was very passionate and went the extra miles to help. Thanks to her professional advice and
recommendations, I had finally found my dream home--

Yvonne (New launch buyer)

--Appreciate Jenny's clear and prompt communication style with us and other stakeholders. She was
also patient and client-centered throughout the process of finding a home that met our criteria. As a
first-time home buyer, we appreciate how she went out of her way to explain the process and
answer questions we had--
