From Saturday, it will introduce a seller's stamp duty on all residential properties and lands that are bought after today and sold within one year from the date of purchase, and lower the housing limit to 80 per cent of the total purchase price. These new steps came less than six months after the Government introduced a set of measures to temper the exuberance in the private residential market last September. Click here to find out more! Rules won't hit HDB flats THE just-announced seller's stamp duty, which will be imposed on all residential lands and homes bought before Saturday and sold within a year, will not apply to Housing Board flats, said the Government on Friday. This is because HDB flats are already subject to a minimum one-year occupation ruling. The Government said the new tax measure is to 'discourage short-term speculative activity that could distort underlying prices', and it is not targeted at the purchase of properties for owner-occupation or longer term investment. More HDB downpayment HOUSING Board (HDB) flat buyers taking private bank loans for their purchase will now have to fork out more cash for the downpayment on their homes. The Government has lowered the home loan amount that buyers can borrow from banks from 90 per cent to 80 per cent of the total purchase price. The new 80 per cent rule, also known as the loan-to-value (LTV) limit, will apply to both private and public flats. - Jessica Cheam

Just my 2cents The industrial park opp Bedok Reservoir BLK 150 and 151 has convert to worker hostel. Try to visit the place during night time.. like after 9pm during weekend, find a place and seat there for 30 min. I was to work @ TechView, that time. There are no fence along that road. Now, all fences up. Ask urself. WHY While Tampines blk 882 will has this.. 1. A block of rental flats will soon be built in front of Blk 885, Tampines St 83. I don't know Tampines area very well so not much comment. Personally I will not choose Bedok reservoir

The chain's approximately 50 employees will likely be laid off although some will be retained temporarily to handle the remaining furniture. The shock announcement came in a statement to the Singapore Exchange from listed door-maker KLW Holdings, which owns a 71 per cent stake in Barang Barang. It said weak consumer demand coupled with high rental and marketing costs had brought the chain to its knees. KLW has placed the furniture chain under liquidation to repay creditors,including landlords, suppliers and customers owed refunds. Its six local stores - at Central Mall, Plaza Singapura, Singapore Post Centre, Marina Square, the International Furniture Centre and Autohub@Senoko - and two in Malaysia have been closed since Wednesday. Read the full report in Friday's edition of The Straits Times.

they also need to earn mah as long as the agent answer our question, clear our doubt. provide a positive service, we are ok for it. Actually we don't expected he will give discount. We was plan to give him 1% When he reply no problem, 10% discount. My spouse still ask me, want to SMS him back, say we joking only. I him

0.88% hahahahaha

as long as u had not sign the agreement, u can nego. We also walk in customer. At first agent say 1% neg, then 1% (the neg word disappear), then when OTP, my spouse SMS him just to joke with him. got discount bo. He reply no problem 10% discount. We was surprise.

If u didn't sign any commission agreement, u can don't pay.

CHQ still the best. Can track. If use cash, u pass to agent agnet pass to the seller then seller say shortage of $50 Then u say no. story goes on

No idea. Presently, my IL house also receive complain from below neigbour abt their ceiling leaking thru' HDB.

luckily you had not start the reno. If you start, chances will be you will be 100%. If this is a resale HDB, the toilet might be very old. Let the HDB officer come in to do their assessment. Then see how. Settle this before the reno start. If the toilet is the original type, may be HDB 50%, u and ur neigbour share the 50%. U will get a band new toliet while ur neigbour got a new celling
