Hi,

It might be a bit early now but usually it will be good to start 6 months before your key collection to BTO. Since you are able to fully fund the next flat, you have the option to choose the best time to sell your current flat so to maximize your sale proceeds. Thanks and may I have more details so to make better recommendations? Let's discuss further.

Warm Regards,

Hi Sherry, for your case it be much more simpler since you have sufficient funds. You could market your old unit as early as 3 months before key collection. Because due to the weak market sentiment, it will takes a longer time than usual to get a unit sold. I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.

Good morning seller,

Since you have sufficient finances to find your BTO purchase, you just have to adhere to selling it off within 6 months from your key collection date.

If not, you can choose to market it 3 to 6 months before key collection date so you will have more funds to have more funds ready for renovation.

Hope my opinions aids in your decision making.

If you need further assistance or advice in your property needs, feel free to contact me. Cheers!

Afternoon Sherry,

As you have indicated that you have sufficient funds to facilitate the purchase. Therefore, you can actually start to market your unit upon receiving official news from HDB to collect your keys. With standard transaction timing of around 3 to 4 months, you would have moved into your BTO, along with the required renovation done, by the time you hand over the keys for your current unit.

Do contact me should require my assistance.

Hi Sherry,

Since you have enough funds to complete the purchase of your new flat, I would suggest you only start the marketing efforts upon receiving the letter from HDB to collect your keys.

In this way, you will be able to have a smooth transition from your existing home to the new unit without the need to worry about no place to stay during the transition period. HDB will also allow you a 6 months period to dispose off your existing flat.

Please feel free to contact me at 9644 4854  if you have further questions.

Regards,

He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”

He was very frank and transparent with all the details, limitations and advantages that we wouldn’t have known. I think this is the most important virtue to be successful in this line. I will surely recommend him to anyone who needs his service because I trust that they will be equally satisfied!!”

Hi there!

You can start marketing the flat 3 months before you collect the keys, it will always be good that you have a buffer of time before you move into the next place.

If you leave the marketing and selling of existing unit to a later date, it will not be advantageous for you.

Hope this helps!
