Hi,

Typical breakdown of SPR 1st property purchase as follows:
Cash 5%
Cpf 15%
Max bank loan 80%
Stamp duties and legal fees approx 8%

Hence you require about 28% of purchase price for downpayment and stamp duties. May I know how much funds (cash+cpf) are you planning with at the moment? That will determine the range of condos we can look at for purchase. If eventually its not suitable for your plans, you can still consider to rent. Thanks and look forward to value-add to your plans further.

Warm Regards,

Hi, needless to say, no matter how low the rental price may be, it is still not a property of your own and you are helping the landlord to service his or her asset, which in this case will be the bank loan. Hope this makes sense to you.

Hi,

If you're planning to stay in Singapore for long, you should definitely purchase a property, because there might be a chance that you "stay for free" should you sell it at the right price, compared to renting which would definitely give no returns.

Feel free to contact me at your convenience, and we can carry on from there.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

Thanks for your query!
I believe that if you're intending to stay in Singapore, it would better to purchase a property in the long term perspective. Purchasing a property is a careful and succinct process as you have to take note of the future returns and yield. Perhaps you could get in touch with me so that I can understand your requirements and finances to establish the financial calculations ; present the financial progressive payment with cash breakdown. Based on this, we will be able to narrow down your options and propose developments and units for your consideration.

Also, purchase of private property does not make you liable for any agent fees. Hence, you will be walked step by step ; having your interest covered yet at no cost! Do visit my website for my recent high level accolades and testimonials. Look forward to hearing from you! Thanks!

Hi there!

Are you planning on staying in Singapore for the long-term? If you are, buying a property is definitely the better option. Should you decide to leave Singapore in the future, this property can serve as an investment with rental income coming in.

What I'll advise is to have a Financial Calculation done up so that you'll know the loan quantum you can borrow as well as the maximum Property Price you can go for.

Do give me a call or drop me a text and I'll assist you with the calculation and advise you accordingly.

Hi Sir/Mdm,

If you have the financial means ie cash on hand, I would suggest you to purchase instead of renting.

These are the reasons why:

1. It is now a buyer's market, prices have retreated and there are many motivated sellers in the market. If you look hard enough, you may be able to secure a good buy.

2. In the long run, property prices will continue to increase in Singapore, due to inflation and population growth etc. Owning a property will allow you to capitalise on the gain few years down the road. In the event that you will not be staying in the property, you are able to rent out and generate a steady stream of passive income.

3. Rather than paying for rental every month, you might as well pay for the mortgage and own the property eventually.

Please feel free to contact me if you need further assistance.

Regards,
Nick Tan

Good evening buyer,

Probably you can share more information about your finances with me so I can better assess your budget.

If you are capable to afford one, I will advise you to purchase one. Nevertheless it still better than financing other people's property.

Hope my sharing is beneficial to your property purchase.

May I know how can I value add further in this purchase?
