Hi Sara, unfortunately you are unable to buy an EC less than 10 years. I have Bishan Loft (EC 10 this year) and Nuovo (coming to 10 in Aug) units for sale. Both centrally located for sale. Do give me a call @ 81613790  or email me: propnex@me.com if you require more information. Rgds Philip Chong Associate Team Director Propnex Realty Read More

Hi Sara, PR can only buy an EC that is at least 5 years old, while foreigner can only buy an EC that is at least 10 years old. Regards Aaron 97308455  aaronchong2774@ yahoo.com.sg Read More

Good evening Sara, being considered as a foreigner, you are only eligible to purchase resale EC that are privatized (at least 10 years old) If not you can also consider private condos. But do take note that you will be subject to 15% additional buyer's stamp duty as a foreigner on top of estimated 3% buyer's stamp duty. Initial cash outlay will be around 38% of purchase price (inclusive of 20% downpayment) provided you can obtain a 80% bank loan. May I know how much initial cash do you have? Hope to hear from you soon. YT Tan ECG Property 9111 5171  yt.lovelyhomes@gmail.com Read More

Hi Sara, apologies for the late reply. Cause Propertyguru doesn't prompt us for any reply to our post, I have to manually read up every post. Hmm, If you manage to obtain a SPR status soon, you will still have to bear additional buyer's stamp duty but it will be 5% but not 15% ABSD as a foreigner. High difference of 10% (it will be $100k for a $1M property.) As for the estimated 38% initial outlay, it will be 20% downpayment (if you can obtain a 80% bank loan), 15% ABSD and 3% buyer stamp duty (its 3% x purchase price minus $5400). I hope you get a clearer picture. Cheers! You can either email, whatsapp or we chat me if you need future clarification. YT Tan ECG Property 9111 5171  yt.lovelyhomes@gmail.com Read More
