Hi Micheal, assuming you are the first time buyer, besides the other cost of the purchase, it would be good for you to find out more on the current market condition as well as the loan you are subjected to in order to formulate your budget. Do drop me a call or e mail for a more detailed discussion before you proceed with the plan.

Hi Michael, stamp duty is not a hidden cost and being a local purchasing your 1st property, it will be at 3% which you could utilised your cpf for it. As for commission wise, for a buyer purchasing a private property, you do not need to pay any commission at all.

Hi Michael

Broadly there are two sets of cost expense in buying a property.

1. The property purchase price and 2. the expense incurred in buying the property.

If you can email gavin.ng@orangetee.com, we can do a simulation on the expense.

Hi Michael,

Assuming you're a first-time buyer, the most significan additionalt cost to note would be the buyer stamp duty + legal fees totalling around 3% of your purchase price. Whether it's a new or resale condominium, you do not need to pay agent fees.

Feel free to contact me at your convenience, and we can proceed further from there.

Thanks and regards,

Good morning Michael,

If you are purchasing your first residential property and able to obtain max 80% loan, your initial outlay will be as such:

1) 5% cash downpayment
2) 15% CPF OA or cash downpayment
3) estimated 3% buyer's stamp duty
4) $2.5k legal fees
5) valuation fee
6) property tax etc

By the way, great news! Private buyers usually dont have to pay agent's commission for their purchase.

Hope my sharing is beneficial to your property purchase.

May I know how can I continue to value add in your purchase?

Warmest Regards,
