After 3 years of waiting for property price to come down, we finally get our apartment within 2 weeks of intensive house viewing. It's totally god's blessing because we need to move in to our own house before our wedding next feb. Therefore, after viewing this house, we offer a price which is 65K below the owner's asking price. The agent was shocked when we offered a 1% deposit of our price on the spot and 'force' him to pass to the owner. After one week of praying, the owner accepted our price. =) Anyway we are first timer buying a house, and i really dunno what i should do now. I can only collect the keys 3 months later, and need to have the house ready by end of the year. please advise Here's my little 928 sqft apartment =)

hmmm..... like i mentioned in the previous post, i signed the OFFER to purchase........lol...... not the option to purchase....... i do understand the point about how bank decide whether loan or not loan because actually im from the loaning industrial too......lol....... just that im not from the mortage side...... so im not brave la...... is just that what the banker can excess and check..... i myself can check....... and we had never ever taken up any loan before...... so it's fine for me. but of course i will only exercise the OTP when my loan is totally secured or i strike toto -

hi, now i have found my unit. =) next step.... bank loan............ now im not so concern about being approved or not approved. There are so many packages in the different bank, im more concern with the difference between them. So should i walk-in every bank and find out more? or i can just call then bank up and ask? -

i like to check something: let's say i declare my income low.......... therefore the bank may only grant me a loan of $40 due to my declared income. (example figure) i bought a house at $100 and valued at $100. i intend to take a loan for $60 only, the rest of the 40% i will pay by cash/cpf. will the bank loan me $60 since it's only 60% loan? -

Hi all, im getting a small private apartment soon. Just like to check, when i wanna look for ID/Contractor, would they quote me more if they know that it's a private apartment? becos i do understand that some ID quoted much more on condo even though the size is much smaller than a HDB flat. Is there's any advise? Thanks

Condos: Buy Now Or Wait?
shingirl replied to Misc100's topic in Landed & Condo Private Properties Renovation Discussion
hi, im a first timer looking for private housing in D15 or D16. Looking at 3 room with a budget of $750k you mentioned: "There are definitely good buys around. Just keep a look out for those gonna TOP or fire sale units. Mostly developers want to sell them fast as the original buyers either defaulted or didn't secure a bank loan. However, check the smaller listing websites instead of the major ones." there's some question i need to seek youe help. 1) where or how should i go around to find those TOP or fire sales units? 2) what are the smaller listing website? i appreciate your help. Thanks
