Hi;

Its abit too early to start viewing, but you can start doing your research now on the areas that you want / layout etc and your financial calculation as well.. Do feel free to contact me for further discussion on what other things that you need to take note of when it comes to resale units as I'm unable to contact you via here. Thanks

Hi,

1) It is true that you will encounter difficulty securing a unit now due to your current situation.
2) There will be a lot more negotiation between yourself and the seller, not only pertaining to price.
3) If everything went smooth, the seller willing to wait for another 2 months before the end of March to start the resale process. You will have to place $1,000 to exchange for a non-dated OTP.
4) This process is not a formal process though not uncommon in the market.

I would suggest before you start to view on-site, you can start to do the following:
1) Check with banks on your possible loan, you don't need a formal letter of offer from banks, just a verbal IPA will do. Because IPA lasts 30 days to 90 days dependent on individual bank practice.
2) Understand the mortgage package offer from each bank, pros & cons of them.
3) Do some homework on location, type of design, and the level you are keen on that is within your budget.

You may start your viewing tour after Lunar Chinese New Year.
This initial viewing will give you a more direct understanding of price vs condition.

If possible engage a real estate agent to provide advice, otherwise, try to understand what to look out for during a viewing.

Hi,

Happy New Year to you!

I would suggest you do your IPA and some research on the areas that you're looking to purchase. It would be ideal to start shortlisting and viewing after the Chinese New Year period, when there are likely to have more units for you to consider too.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans.

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,
Robbie Chen
