Hi. I am planning to purchase two unit in Marina Bay residences specifically the D1 2379 sqftm(221 unit and C1 1981 sqft (184 sqm) . My question is, under singapore law, am I allowed to combine the units to have a bigger unit. I'm sorry to ask, since I am not familiar with singapore law on condominium. I am from Philippines and will be having a corporate extension office in singapore soon. Please enlighten me. Thanks a lot.

Hi Mr Yu,

Regarding your question, it really depends on the development. Some developments has this option of combining 2 adjoining units via a door entrance, so that both the units are linked.

If you're interested in such an arrangement, do contact me. I can help put up your request to the developer and see what they come back with.

Should you need any 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

    To All who answered my question. Thank you very much for your time and effort in answering my concern. With this in mind, I will ask the developer as to what to do. Just today, I found out from my staff that there are single level penthouses available with almost the same size of D1 and C1 units combined. Though my question is, it give me a better view facing marina bay. I am more particular with the view especially at night time. I want view to be better or the same with Mr. Roy Teo's condo unit. I believe he is from Krieit associates - interior design firm in sg. Thanks a lot guys

Afternoon Mr. Yu,

The option for merging two unit as one will be very dependent on the structural design of the project. Hence to obtain the required answers, it might be good to check with the developer or engage a professional for the assessment.

Do feel free to contact me should you require additional assistance.

Hi Mr Orville, with regards to that question, we could always put up the request to the developer and await for their reply first before any deposit is being paid. And also, do note that for foreigner purchasing private unit in Singapore, stamp duty is payable at 18%. Pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.

Hi Orville,
Usually it would depend on the structures of the building, however for MBR, it seems unlikely to merge 01 & 10 into 1 unit. You can engage a PE/QP to determine that. Any changes would require an approval and permit from BCA.
Do contact me at 97970200  or email.ngsiewwhye@gmail.com for a short discussion and proposal.

Mark, your RIGHT choice

Hi Mr. Yu

I have identical C1 and D1 for SALE.. Technically speaking, is possible to combine both together..You could combine both units together physically however if you intend to combine both under 1 title, I would not advise as combining both would have over 4200 sq ft based on current market quantum is too huge for anybody to buy in the event in future if you have intention to sell. If you purchased both units combined it and title remain separately , it will be much easier to sell in future..

Hope you understand...
Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks.

Dear sir/madam,

If you happen to notice, there is no outright answer except that it will be subjected to approval. This is likely the standard reply as we are not in a position to commit to you for the amalgamation therefore it is best to speak to developer and authority for doing so.

The stage at which this request is put forward aside for whether is there any structural changes involved also depends on the stage of development and may likely involve some professional fees in the amalgamation.

Would be great to visit the sales office together to seek the proper advise from the developer's representative.

Hi Mr. Orville Yu,

The merging of 2 units is dependent on the structural design of MBR. We will have to check with the developer or engage a professional for the assessment on the possibility to merge. Alternatively, you can consider other development in the area which offers similar attribute to your request.
Please contact me at dicksonlee@kf.com.sg or drop me a call to discuss further regarding this matter :)

Hi Sir,
You will be able to, however it is really subject to approval. How about also consider getting a bigger unit?
