Hi,

Thank you for your enquiry. I believe your 5 years MOP have been met? For flats near Clementi Primary that are less than 10 years old, there are only specific clusters such as 312X series and Trivelis DBSS, or 441X. The 3-room at 31X generally is asking around 550k-650k range, and 4-room at Casa Clementi is asking around 650k - 800k range, hence there could be sufficient sale cash proceeds to pay off any potential cash payments required for the next flat, without touching your savings.

Typically the sale & purchase takes about 6 months - 1 year, because of the time needed to secure the right unit (not within our control, and as our requirements are more specific given only certain blocks are near clementi pri and not too old), and also the time needed to find the buyer and for hdb processing.

I have assisted various clients to smoothly transit to their next place and will be happy to share more. 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,

Ivan Ng Realtor

-- EC Sellers, Private Property Buyers Dr. Chan & Ms. Xie --

I would like to compliment Mr Ivan Ng for his professional work and effort.I sent my first post in Jan 2019 and Ivan replied promptly, so I have decided to contact Ivan for follow up. My EC was not ready for sale due to MOP (another 3 months from Jan) at that time and Ivan was able to give me advices on how to proceed from there. Initially we have decided to try to write to HDB for early sale but since it was only 3 months left, eventually we waited for another 3 months while we looked for our next property. Ivan was able to arrange for new property showroom appointment at a timely manner while helping us to list for our EC for sale. We were a bit worried when our EC sale time was longer than expected due to trade war, but Ivan was able to reassure us that our EC would sell. By November, he managed to secure a buyer for our EC. Thank you.

I would like to express my appreciation to Ivan Ng for his excellent work. Ivan is a dedicated, client-focused, patient and sincere agent. Throughout the whole process of selling and looking for our next property, he has always acted very professionally that makes my wife and I feel at ease and assured. Ivan is not a pushy and hard sales agent. Ivan listens and understands our needs and carefully guided us through. We are fortunate to have Ivan as our agent. Thank you Ivan. Read More

Good afternoon Sir/ Mdm,

Do let me share abit on the HDB sale/ purchase procedure.

for example:
1/12/21: register intent to sell on resale HDB portal (buyer has to register intent to buy: we will do both at the same time).
8/12/21: can issue option to purchase (OTP if agree price with buyer with any other conditions like temporary extension of stay etc, buyer will give up to $1k option fee)
meantime: buyer will do valuation $120
29/12/21 4pm: expiry of OTP (buyer must exercise with up to $5k minus option fee)
30 days resale submission period (it can be shorter or longer)
29/1/22: submit resale application to HDB
29/2/22: resale application approval ($80)
29/3/22: endorsement of documents
29/4/22: completion (receive sales proceeds/ pay agent's commission)
29/7/22: handover unit if buyers grant us extension.

I think your house already fulfilled 5 years minimum occupation period. Do you still have any loan?

Do you intend to take up any loan for the next purchase?

If both involves HDB loan, we can apply for contra which means both sale and purchase transactions will complete on same date. Funds from sale will finance the purchase.

If we are able to obtain 3 months extension from our buyer, you guys will have time to do abit of renovation and move over.

As for cash over valuation (COV), its common nowadays. Your unit might also have COV when we sell it. Depends.

I sold an EA with at least $70k COV while helped my buyer to get a 5RM at no COV recently. Hard to say.

Maybe we can go through the numbers first and see whether is it workable if almost all scenarios.

Hope my sharing helps in aiding in your enquiry. May I know how can I value add further in your property needs?

Best regards,

Hi
No resale levy applies for purchasing of resale unit. I am specialised in HDB transactions and have assisted various clients in transitioning smoothly to their new house without having to put up with a temporary place of stay. As for how long the process would be like, it depends on factors such as marketing process though a typical timeline is around 6 to 9 months. As for cash wise (eg cash proceeds and how much cash is needed to purchase the next flat), I will need more information in order to advise further. A vast majority of my buyers managed to secure a flat without COV though this very much depends on your house preference. Do contact me at 93375051  for a free and non obligatory discussion on this.

Hi,

Congratulations! My daughter is also entering Primary 1 next year! Next phase of life for us!

Anyways, if you're looking to shift close to Clementi Primary School, there are a few clusters you may consider. The nearest would of course be Clementi Cascadia, which is just right beside the school, and your son does not need to cross any roads to get home. Other nearby clusters that are within 10 years are, Blk 441A/B, which are directly above Clementi Mall, and Clementi Ridges, which met their MOP this year. For Clementi Ridges, it would be about 7 to 10 minutes walk to school for children.

I am very familiar with Clementi area as I am staying very near Casa Clementi. I understand you're not familiar with HDB transaction procedure and timeline for funds. Fret not, I am very active in HDB transactions, and will be able to hand-hold you throughout your sale and purchase. I will be able to plan the Timeline as such that you will enjoy a smooth transition to your new home without the hassle of having to shift house more than once.

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 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
