Hi,

You mentioned "1st timer" + "Fiance & Fiancee Scheme", meaning you intend to purchase a HDB flat.

"with enough CPF", implied your spouse to be is either SC or SPR.

So you can either a SC or SPR since you already owned a maisonette.

Under SC + SC, there were no issue to buy.
Under SPR + SPR, your spouse to be has to meet 3 yrs holding same residence status.
Under SC + SPR, no issue to buy as well.

Please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Best regards

Hi,

It depends on your court order for the current property. Also, would you require the sale proceeds to come back before you can complete the purchase? Would require more inputs so to make better recommendations.

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,

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers Mr. Farvin & Ms. Sel --

Ivan was the first agent that we met up with and right from the offset we had good vibes as he has a friendly personal approach, detailed working style and focuses on building the long-term relationship.

Our unit comes with its challenges but Ivan remained positive and had no qualms committing to our plans right from the start. It took only 6 weeks of aggressive marketing for him to secure a good offer which was a pleasant surprise in the end.

Ivan was always responsive and we had no worries to pass him the house keys. The whole process was transparent and hassle free, and he was always thinking from our point of view on how to make life easier for the client. He is a committed professional and has fast execution, so we felt assured that things are done well and we can entrust the sale process entirely to him.

--- HDB Flat Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Lee ---

We decided to engage Ivan as our agent as we were impressed with how he answered the enquiries on property guru website.

He has helped us to find our ideal unit and also sold our current unit. He was very patient and never pushy when we were looking for our ideal unit. He would tell us that it is always important to find a unit that we really liked.

When it comes to selling of our unit, he was always prompt in arranging for viewings and he also tried his best to arrange and consolidate the viewings due to our time constraints. He is a reliable and prompt agent and is always willing to clarify any concerns and questions that we have.

Thanks Ivan! :)

Hi there,

Thank you for your query!
You most certainly can purchase under this scheme indeed, providing you are in no need of the sales proceeds of your Maisonette unit. The sell and purchase is a rather complex and intricate process, especially since the sales proceeds and timeline should be streamlined. To be able to advise better, I would need more inputs, hence, you may perhaps share more details on your end for me to churn out a more comprehensive, exact and thorough financial calculations with exact figures to chart your proceeds. Furthermore, I would be able to share more on the varied marketing strategies and mediums through which your property will get maximum exposure as well as study the recent up to date transaction caveats of similar sized units in the development & surrounding vicinity and hence, present a sales and elevation report to advise further. I have transacted a EM unit in Bishan at Record Price and it was published in the Newspaper (Available on my website). This is will followed by your next residence options.Thank you!!

Hi, could I check is the final judgement already out ? And if you do need your cpf for financing of the new flat, then it is advisable to sell your current flat first before you purchase the next. Pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.

Dear Sir,

It is certainly possible to purchase first but it may not be the best option as ideally you should reuse the cash and CPF that are tied up in your current property.

In this way, you can minimize your cash outlay and also your loan amount and minimize the monthly mortgage payment. I have personally handed a couple of such similar cases before. Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and recommend the best course of actions!

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients (2016/2017)
“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”

Peter & Wendy (Property Seller)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations.
We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”
Susana (Buyer)

“Nick is very pro-active in helping us to resolve whatever questions and problems that we encountered. All the issues are settled even before us having to request or ask for a second time. He was very frank and transparent with all the details, limitations and advantages that we wouldn’t have known. I think this is the most important virtue to be successful in this line. I will surely recommend him to anyone who needs his service because I trust that they will be equally satisfied!!”
