Anyone know how many units are sold in Park Central ? This project dosen't seem to be as "hot" as City View hor..a bit quiet..not much news..btw, any idea when are developers launching Simei & Bishan DBSS ?? With such sky high prices, i doubt many can afford....even take 90% loan, 30yr, mthly installment still come up to $1.5K ++ !!

Hi, do you all know how is the payment terms like for DBSS flat if i were to take bank loan ? The 1st 5% in CASH, then the 2nd payment, (9weeks from option to purchase) , is this in CASH or CPF ? Some say CPF, some say CASH, i am confused..

I am also worry about the high price if i were to buy now. Would anyone here buy a 30yr old resale flat in central area (TPY, AMK, Bishan etc) ? Imagine you cannot sell the flat after 10yr cos the lease period is <60yr.

Just curious, when u transfer ownership, do you need to pay any stamp duty fee? how much is the stamp duty fee ?

i think cck got direct bus to orchard leh, go by PIE~also quite fast..don't need to take MRT, SK got NE line to Dhoby Ghaut.

i don't think anybody check..so i doubt they pay income tax..as for property tax, i thot IRAS will mail to the addressee?

Hi cute pink, so lucky u got good in law to help u thui chiam, for me is the other way round..i help them thiu chiam ..cos they not worry abt anything, i just wish got guiren help me fulfil my dream ..i start to realise a good house is very important, it will make one feel secure and stable. Wonder how does pple feel without having a house ?

In my opinion, i think Sengkang/punggol is more ulu..as there are not many buses there..most common mode of transport is MRT/LRT..i rem when i visit my fren's plc @ sengkang..she ask me what time i come bcos the LRT got timing..after 3pm not many pple take the LRT, so it will go reverse direction

The block i see don't have LUP, only have sheltered walk way, changed to copper pipings..that's all! Wiring still very old...

i don't want enbloc

I have see a few houses, all valuation report under the coy, not HDB..is it bcos it is done by 'private' valuator ?

ya..the block i see seem rundown, neighbouring block have been painted, just this block not painted & wiring also already 'exposed' Theses are already announced, i m asking about those "potential" enbloc, cos i don't want to buy enbloc , later very troublesome

How come agents sound like ah long.. so that means no matter what we still have to pay the protection fees..

hi zirhk thanks for the clarification, at least now i know seller no need to pay commission if agent is engaged by the buyer, thanks!

The commission thing is the part that i hate most, but no choice. For buyer, the norm commission is 1% correct? As for seller, if we sell the flat on our own & the buyer brings his agent, do the seller need to pay 2% commission even though the agent is not engaged by the seller ?

So did u get back your $1k OTP ? Do we have to pay commission if we are the buyer who look out from newspaper ?

Me not PR, just want to avoid the hassle of upgrading, i was really wondering if i buy a resale flat of 30 yrs old, i doubt the price will rise further liao cos for the few blocks that i see , all look very wear down, wonder will it be enbloc or upgrade ?

Saw a unit with NS facing , top floor but the walkway to the lift level is "underground", you have to walk down a flight of stair to reach the ground floor. If u know what i meant. Is this ok for fengshui ? cos i heard ppl saying must walk up home, now down

View few units in AMK, any idea whether is there any enbloc or upgrading in that area ? Seem like blk 57x & blk 12x are quite old ~

when do i need to go for 2nd appointment ? possible to defer ?

Hi Loli Just read your post, thanks for sharing..i am also thinking of selling my flat without an agent, how shd i proceed, care to share ? i have PM you It seems like finding a ideal flat in singapore is so difficult ! Sigh...

Can you pls pm me pls ? btw, if my parents are not eligible to take any loan, how can they buy flat ? if they were to use cash to buy, when must they make the full payment ? i m so confused over this house thing.

/hehehe..they hv remove the full address, now only block number

so does that mean that as long as i am willing to pay, i can do the valuation anytime ? can i do 2 valuation within 3 month ?

Is there any difference in the valuation price done by HDB officer (via seller) or by agent ? Can a flat have more then one valuation report ?
