Hi,

Thanks for the query. For new ECs from developer sales, they are mainly in the outskirts area namely: Punggol/Sengkang/Yishun/Sembawang/Woodlands/Jurong, hence I don't think you can find 1 at a centralized location, unless you are open to new launch private condos (where there are some which can be nearer AMK & Potong Pasir Area).

Definitely as 1st-timers locals you are eligible for ECs, but locations may not be what you prefer. Thanks and hope to have more details and your requirements before making better recommendations.

Warm Regards,
Ivan Ng

Hi,

Thanks for your query!
Yes indeed your question comes as a good time as the income ceiling raised has caused a spur in potential EC sales. As a baseline, ECs are located in Sub-Urban areas such as Woodlands (Bellewoods/Twin Forest) ,Punggol/Sengkang, Yishun and Sembawang etc. For more centralized locations, you could consider core central star buys private condominiums which offers city lifestyle and at the same time affordable living.

All said and done, the best way forward is definitely getting your loan assessment done so that we can gain clarity on the loan quantum available in your purchase. (Will link you up to my network of bankers to assist) Based on the loan figure and finances on hand, I can then conduct a progressive payment chart to narrow down which option you could consider and hence advise you on the developments to consider.

I am highly experienced in EC sales, having concluded many EC transactions with the most recent one being a 3BR at Sol Acres / 4BR at Bellewoods over the weekend. My client's testimonial for my service: http://www.kumarrai.com/agent-page/88280/testimonials

Do get in touch for a non obligatory discussion for me to guide you exactly on the step by step procedural framework of the purchase, and chart the payment timeline / breakdown , to facilitate your purchase. To add , there is no agent fees and I will walk you through the entire process. Thank you!

Hi, yes both of you are definitely eligible to apply for new EC unit. And base on your question, why don't I get my banker to assist you further on the loan eligibility issue first? Pls feel free to let me know if you need any other assistance.

Good afternoon buyer,

It will be best for my banker to advise you on your in principle approval so you will have a better idea how much loan can you obtain.

Btw something to take note is that normally EC locations are not that fantastic. But if you want somewhere close to both of your current houses, your choices might only be in Sengkang or Punggol.

If you want somewhere centralised then you might have to consider private condos instead.

Hope my explanation helps!

Hear from you soon!
