Hi

You must have a Singaporean in order to buy a new construction EC. Otherwise, you may buy a resale EC.

You may text 9620 0827  for a casual chat.

Hi,

PR is only eligible to purchase resale EC (EC that met 5 years MOP). There are no constraint on whether you've met 3 years of holding as PR.
The obvious advantage of EC vs Condo, is everything is the same as Private condo, but at a much lower price, up to 20~30% lower.
The room size in general is bigger than private condo, becasuse this was catered for HDB upgrader who are the main buyer, and used to have a bigger room size.

There are no difference in terms of layout, landscape, facilities, MCST management etc.

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Best regards

Hi,

SPRs are only eligible to purchase a resale EC that the previous owner has already met the 5-year MOP. To be eligible for brand new EC direct from the Developer, there must be at least a Singapore Citizen in the family nucleus.

Before I can give you a more appropriate recommendation, may I know what's your objective of the purchase? I would like to understand more from you before making any recommendation or pushing you to any properties.

I am experienced and well-versed in both private and HDB resale transactions. I will be able to assist you in your housing plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi
PR can only buy resale EC ( more than 5 years) and are not eligible for a new EC. Current price trends do indicate that resale ECs are generally cheaper than condos of the same age. Therefore you may want to consider this as one of the plus factor on getting a resale EC. Just like normal condominium, there is no MOP requirement for resale EC. Furthermore, the regulations for resale EC will be just like any other condominiums once it reaches it's 10 years mark. (Foreigners are able to buy). This means over time, the price difference between an EC and normal condominium of the same age will close down over time. I provide free services for purchase of resale EC/private property from consultancy, arranging for viewings, negotiate on your behalf and handling the purchase processes. Do contact me at 93375051  for a free and non obligatory discussions on this.

Dear Sir/Mdm,

Basically one of the eligibilities for buying and EC is that one of the applicants must be a Singaporean. If you are currently a PR, then you will need to apply for the EC with your spouse who is a Singaporean. If your spouse is not a Singaporean, then you will not be eligible to buy a brand new EC from Developers. You can only buy an EC that is 5 years of age already.

Basically for the advantage of an EC over a private condo, much can be said. And things cannot get more coincidental. Just logging in to PropertyGuru, I just finished writing an article named Read More

Hi

Let me run through with you an eligibility check to buy a BRAND NEW EC (still under construction)

If all applicants are PR, you are not eligible. One of the applicants, must be a Singaporean.

However, if you are buying a resale EC, then you are eligible.

ECs are generally 20-30% cheaper than private condos, but it does not mean private condos are worst off.

There are private condos that may be worth buying.

If by any chance you are buying an EC with a spouse, there is a new EC along Tampines Ave 10 called Parc Central Residences

Alternatively, you may check out a new launch condo at Treasure at Tampines
