Hi Bluegal, This is an interesting question posted, as there are also plenty of owners out there who are worried that they are underselling their properties with the change in regulations where valuation of property will not be done until Option has been exchanged. It is anybody's game technically if you ask me. The safest option will always be studying the recent transactions around the location you are interested in and monitor the prices against the asking price. In summary, you are not buying a resale HDB from NTUC where price is fixed so negotiation is still a confirmed process to undertake for the purchase. After doing your due diligence in studying the price trend, I am pretty sure that even if your offer is above the valuation, it should not be very far off so COV portion is very likely small if there is any. Still, I wish to conclude that it is anybody's game in a resale transaction. Owner is afraid of selling low while buyer is afraid of buying high. Your appointed salesperson is very likely someone you can turn to for advise. Regards, Geryl LIM Real Estate Director Masters Of Real Estate (L3010548F) CEA Reg R014783H Mobile:
