Hi, if you have a budget of 1.1m or slightly more, I would suggest that you go for Kingsfords Waterbay. As I brought a buyer recently to purchase a 4 bedroom unit with that budget. So with that kind of price, it is consider rare and a good buy. Pls feel free to let me know if you wish to know more about this project and prices.

Good morning buyer,

It's great hearing from you.

As you mentioned you are foreign buyer, do take note you will be subject to 15% additional buyer's stamp duty on top of estimated 3% buyer's stamp duty.

Thus your initial cash outlay will be:

1) 20% downpayment
2) 18% stamp duties
3) $3k legal fee
4) valuation fee, stamp duty for mortgage etc

May I know how much finances do you have on hand for this purchase?

Both projects you mentioned are situated at strategic location, both are equally good. If you are thinking of renting it out in future, Sims might be a better choice because Botanique has too much competition from the surrounding projects.

Hope my explanation and opinion aid in your decision making.

If you need any assistance or advice in your property purchase, feel free to contact me. Cheers!

Warmest Regards,

Hi,

Both botanique and sims have their attributes and cons. Importantly may I know what are your requirements for your children? Are they commuting to school nearby? Do you have plans to relocate here? Thanks and hope to understand your housing plans further so as to value-add further.

Warm regards

Hi,

May I understand why only Botanique and Sims Urban? These projects do have their own attributes but you must steer your decision into own stay vs investment? And if you're looking to enjoy the best of both worlds; staying there and yet enjoying ripe and continuous potential capital gain, it is apt you consider a wide array of projects currently going at very attractive prices but located at prominent locations and posses highly sought after attributes to ensure you always stand to benefit in both upswing and downturn.
It is times like these the advise and knowledge of a experienced professional realtor can aid you in making the most important decision as it's the matter of an asset.

Hi, I am sure you have done your study and reasons to short list the 2 projects mentioned.

I would like to recommend NorthPark and Nine Residences at Yishun. They are both good for own stay and investment. It is an integrated project where shopping mall is under the condo. Both located at the Central of Yishun, very convenient where MRT and shopping mall are around the condo. A few of the integrated project launch previously have gained a very good capital appreciation.

Please feel free to contact myself.

I can be contactable at my mobile or email.

Dear Sir/Mdm,

Every project have their own unique selling point, and I understand that you may not be able to get a 3 bedroom at the project the mentioned for $1.1m.

I guess most important is the location. Are you buying are investment? If for you own use, where is their workplace or school?

If you are looking at other location, may I suggest that you look at The Panorama, definitely the best selling project at D20 at the moment. Showflat is available for viewing, let me know if you are keen.

Hope that I had answered your question.

Feel free to contact me if you need my assistance.

Thanks and Regards
