Bro Wuqi, I agree. Like what you said, one often gets loan approval from some bank. But then the loan margin can at time lower than what one needs, one has to give up buying. So in this case, it will still be treated as a case having loan approval (I think some sellers regard the buyer being not...

Bros, for pool view, which floor do you prefer your apartment to be on? Lower to mid floors (4-8th floor) should have better pool views while higher floors will not see the pool very clearly.

Bro LGLab, sorry that I was mistaken because I was quite sleepy and it was rather late at night when I glanced through the posts here. Bro teck21, thank you very much for clarifying and answering LGLab.

Thanks Bro for the link which confirms what I saw from the internet.

If I don't remember it wrong, based on very limited experience with one developer, I think one can get the booking fee (after substracting the admin fee if any) if the loan is turned down. If the loan is approved but with loan margin lower than what the buyer needs, then he cannot get the...

Bros and Sis, When I paid the booking fee to reserve a unit, I sent my money through the money changer to the bank account of the developer provided by the sales. But I often hear the sales I can also place a cheque. Is this cheque the one from our checking account in SG or should be one...

For those Bros and Sis who are into condo, say one type of condo with its balcony faces the pool surrounded by condo buildings and another type with its balcony faces the outside world seeing a large piece of land on which there is a township with a whole bunch of low-rise houses, do you think...

Bro Wuqi, I have also heard which face to face depends on which year someone was born. Different family members were born in different years which may require the property to face a certain way. So here we have got another reason to buy more than one property (if affordable) to accommodate all...

Bro Wuqi, as always, Thank you very much for your help, great info and advice. The lawyer representing me now is the one suggested by the developer and I signed a few months ago agreeing the suggested lawyer to represent me. So far I have paid the State Authority Consent, fee for Disbursement...

I remembered the sales mentioned to me I as the buyer needed to pay 3% property stamp duty for buying the property from the developer in the state of Johor. I have checked from some websites that the stamp duty should be calculated in a progressive manner not at one flat rate of 3% as follows...

Bro Wuqi, what you say is absolutely right! One should consider a lawyer who can represent one's best interest. The lawyer by default knows much better regarding the law than us.

Bro Tansi, totally agree on the following. This is not just for buying a property (of course, more so for buying a property). Like buying any other products, shouldn't the buyer use the product to check whether it looks ok during the warranty period? This is just a common sense.

Thank you very much, Bro Tansi for sharing your view!

Dear Bros, if one buys from one of the top developers, those lawyers from the developer are trustworthy enough or not?

Dear Bros and Sis, when you buy a condo/apartment/flat in a building (say with 9 storeys or above), do you usually consider which direction your balcony faces (if your condo/apartment/flat has one balcony)? For those buying condos or apartments, do you prefer your balcony faces the pool with...

Bro Wuqi, I had the same issue like you when I was in the US. When I was in the US, I tried to take my mom there but she said she would have a hard time adapting and preferred not to go. So in the end, I decided to leave the US with my wife and kid to be close to my mom.

One of the happiest periods of my life while at the same time being the toughest period of my life was those few years of my childhood in LOS. I love the place, people, culture, food, lives and almost everything there. When I was a kid, I often thought of moving to stay in LOS at some point in...

Bro Arsenal, Sis Crystal, thanks a lot for the info.

Hi Bros and Sis, I have some legal documents regarding the purchase of property I need to send back to the law firm in Johor Bahru by courier. Do you have any suggestions of a good courier service provider which has a lot of pick-up points in SG? Thanks for your help.

Bro, even for the intermediate terrace, from what I saw from the floor plan, you can put a small garden (of size about 20ft*6ft) next to your parking lot at the front of your house if you want.
