Good evening,

If you want to utilize housing grant, you have to purchase resale HDB unit not bigger than 5 room flat. You are eligible for single grant as your income is less than S$6k.
However, if you are looking at EC or condo, you can look at resale unit.

Do feel free to contact me for further discussion.

There is no grants for purchasing resale EC or any other condos.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Dear Sir/Mdm,

It depends on your objectives on whether you intend to buy the place for own stay or for investment.

If you intend to buy for own stay, then probably HDB will make sense and you will be eligible for the single grant of 20k or 25k.

For condo, the potential for capital appreciation is greater and you will be able to enjoy the lifestyle living if you are staying there. However, the price tag is higher so you have to ensure that you can afford it comfortably.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can do up a comprehensive financial plan for you before you decide on your next step!

Regards,

Hi,

When thinking of purchasing, did you think of:
The objectives of sales? Do you want it simply for own stay or would I want to make a tidy profit in midst as well? What is the appreciating value? What is the estimated surrounding rental yield? What are the attributes that set my property apart?

Taking that into consideration, I believe a greater foresight to which properties you should be targeting should be met. No worries,I can walk you through that. To be able to succinctly shortlist units for your consideration, I would need to obtain some requirements and budget to facilitate in sieving the appropriate units. We will also have to conduct a financial cash computation/ progressive payment, breakdown of payment for purchase & work on your IPA (done by network of bankers at no cost).

Home purchase is a step by step purchase and given your first time background, it is apt to have yourself guided and walked step by step to ensure you do not overpay in the process of unfamiliarity and shortchange yourself on a good deal.

So you can take this opportunity to discuss more on your preferences & for me to give an entire overview and share more insights to the market, chart out the market price analysis and recent sales transaction caveats, work out comprehensive financial cash projections and provide you with up to date information to the procedural steps and its associated wings- financial (loan) , legal matters etc.

It's a weak market now and its best to leverage on it to get the best deal. The question is- how to leverage and whom to work with to ensure your interests are met! You can asses my proven track record and recent coveted awards & testimonial on my website to ascertain the commitment, dedication and integrity I uphold in representing my client's welfare to ensure I walk my talk.
