Good evening Anoop! If you are purchasing a resale unit, procedures will be: - Obtain in principle approval (IPA) from bank to find out how much can you loan before house hunting - Once you are interested in a unit, issue a cash/cheque of 1% (of purchase price) to seller to receive option to purchase (OTP) - Need to obtain letter of offer (LO) from bank to exercise the OTP with 4% cash/ cheque (to make up 5% deposit), Buyer's stamp duty (BSD), Additional buyer's stamp duty (ABSD), Mortgage's stamp duty, legal fees within 2 weeks (option period) from OTP grant date - Wait for 6 to 8 weeks completion period to get the keys Note: option and completion period can be negotiated between buyer and seller. If you need any assistance in your property purchase, feel free to contact me. Cheers!
