Just curious. For PUB Gas, Electricity & Water, could we get the ownership transfer to buyer and get them connected on the following day? Any deposit we will have to place upfront?

Hello Folks,

I'm asked to prepare a cheque of $200 for my seller for property tax he has paid for the entire year of 2010 at our 2nd appointment on 12th October.

My question is, for barely 2 1/2 months from when I'm to take over the flat, could the tax be at $200? How do I verify that? Would I be given a receipt?

Try this web: http://www.iras.gov.sg/Tax%20Calculators/HDB/PT_HDB.html

2010 still follow 4% flat rate. From 1/1/2011, onwards, pty tax rates change as follow:

First $6,000=0%, next $59,000=4%, amount exceeding $65,000=6%

A quick one, my 5rm, aunnal valuation is $9,000. So, 9000x0.04 = 360 (one year), monthly = $30. 2.5 month = $75

Simply ask seller use his singpass log on to IRAS web, print the property tax he pays and show to you. Or you can agar ager the the annual valuation x 4% (1 year).

To me, $200 for 2.5 month is quite expensive, unless the property you are buying worth $25,000 AV? You expect an individual to give you a receipt? Issue him a cheque instead for treaceability. Note: A 1270sqf 4 yr condo(L99)in D16 worths only %15,000 AV.

Can't be that much lah! I just completed my 2nd appt (5rm flat) couple of weeks backs. My buyer just need to refund $58.20 to me which the HDB officer will tell tthe buyer how much to pass to seller. So don't need to worry. If you have concern on the amt to be refunded, just bring $100 cash for this and should be enough liao!.

Hope this helps!

my lawyer firm also asked me to prepare $150 cheque for them to settle seller property tax upon 2nd appointment. at the end, they return the balance $100+ when i collect my keys from e lawyer. yes, receipt is given for "actual" tax amt.

Ok, then my 4-rm should be lesser. Thanks folks.

Did your agents help you all transfer names for utilities, tv licence, phone bills etc? I want to pay my agent fee only after he has performed all his tasks. My agent is not proactive and I have to remind him on alot of things, so I better not miss out anything. Will there be any documentation to proof that he has done it?

I was also told to go to the town council 1 week after my 2nd appointment to pay for conservancy charges etc. Is this right?

Appreciate if you could share your experience. Thanks.
