Good afternoon buyer,

Initial outlay will be 20% downpayment (provided you can obtain 80% bank loan) - 5% cash and 15% CPF OA funds or cash if shortfall, estimated 3% buyer's stamp duty, 5% additional buyer's stamp duty as SPR, legal fees, stamp duty for mortgage, valuation fee etc.

Btw how much cash do you have on hand? So I can advise you whether do you have enough for the 28% initial outlay.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Warmest Regards,

Hi,

For PR purchase of 1st residential property, typical breakdown as follows:

Downpayment 20% (minimum 5% cash + 15% cpf)
Stamp duties & legal fees 8%
Max Bank loan 80%

Thus the 28% is the initial outlay, and has to be a combination of cash n CPF. Is that something you will consider?

Which areas are you keen on? Will be glad to share with you the value buys in the area. Thanks.

Warm regards,

Good day to you,

May I understand which condo are you looking at so that I will be able to calculate the indicative amount needed for downpayment?

Generally, it will be :

1)Buyer Stamp Duty (3% of purchase price or valuation whichever higher minus $5,400)

2)Additional Buyer Stamp Duty of 5% of purchase price or valuation whichever higher if first property.

3)Legal fees and other fees depending on the fees charged by your lawyer.

Kindly feel free to let me know your requirements so that I will be able to recommend based on your needs and wants.

Best Regards,
