Asked by
Dear Gurus,

I would like to inquire, if I am buying a 1 bedroom + study OR a 2 bedroom unit at a condo like High Park Residences (I don't qualify for HDB or EC), firstly,

1) Will I need to consider renovating the kitchen, installing flooring, installing cabinetry, etc. What are the furnishings often provided, and what are the furnishings which I would need to take out of my pocket?

2) When will I be required to make payments? If it TOPs in 2018, will I need to make full payment now when I book, or closer to date when I collect keys?

3) In the next two year, how much would I need to pay, as a percentage of the price?

4) In fact, when would I be able to collect keys or even choose my apartment? Will I be able to move into my flat before 2018?

5) Anyone knows what is the difference between a 2 bedroom classic and a 2 bedroom deluxe unit?

Thank you very much. Hope you had a great weekend.

Regards.

Hi,

For new launch projects, most furnishes are often provided. They often include a fully equipped kitchen, fully equipped bathrooms and aircons, tiles, warddrobes. You probably just need to buy washer / fridge / lights / other furniture.

For under construction projects, upfront 5+15+3% (23%) is required for downpayment and stamp duties within 8 weeks of booking. Subsequent payments are on progressive payment schemes (ie. Only pay when construction milestones are reached). If you are taking 80% loan, the law firm will liaise with bank/developer side for you and drawdown from the loan, all the way until TOP.

In fact, you can choose to book and purchase now. High Park Residences is abt 95% sold already, not many balance units available. The TOP is more likely to be in 2020 instead. If you require a earlier move in date, I do have other similar priced projects to recommend you.

May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Hi,

For new projects, most of the units will be partially furnished, with the tiling works, kitchen cabinets up, and air-con installed. The only works you probably need to do is the installation of lightings and some basic furnitures like TV etc.

As for the payment, it will be made progressively, dependent on the different stages of completion of the project. Upon TOP, when you collect your keys, you would have already paid up to about 85% of the total property purchase price.

Before you commit to any purchase, may I check with you, what is your objective of this purchase? Are you going to move in for own stay? Or are you buying this for investment or rental reasons?

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen
