If you are venturing into purchasing a Private Resale Condo for the first time, you will find the following overview of the process useful.

  • Once the property of choice has been found, you'll want to negotiate with the seller for the right price.
  • To order to receive the Signed Option to Purchase, an option fee of 1% of the purchase price is required to be issued by Cheque/Bank transfer to the Vendor(Seller).

The seller now has to honor your option for the agreed time frame (usually two weeks) before being able to
accept another offer.

  • You should be looking for a home loan at this point. Do discuss with the property agent; they will have a handful of bankers of different company.
  • Should you decide to exercise the OTP, you will be required to pay the remaining 4% of the downpayment as well as the Buyers Stamp Duty and Additional Buyers Stamp Duty (if applicable) within 2 weeks upon exercise.

For the Buyer Stamp Duty and or Additional Buyer Stamp Duty, If you intend to you use CPF you have to pay in cheque/Cashier Order first and the appointed lawyer shall apply to get reimbursed later from CPF board.

  • Again, the time frame between this point and the completion of the purchase varies in accordance to what you agree on with you seller although usually its about 10-12 weeks from the time you exercise the OTP.
  • Pay the balance of the downpayment (20%) and get your keys!
