Singapore Property Buyer's Guide: 6 Essential Steps
In our Singapore property buyer’s guide, we help you understand your options and plan your next purchase, whether you are buying your first home, upgrading or investing.
1. Start with your purpose
We begin by understanding what you want to achieve. Are you looking for a family home, an investment property or a landed home with redevelopment potential?
Together, we review your priorities, preferred location, buying timeline and intended holding period. In our view, a useful starting point is how well a property fits your needs and plans.
2. Work out a comfortable budget
We help you look beyond the asking price. Together, we consider your down payment, applicable stamp duties, legal fees, renovation allowance and ongoing ownership expenses.
Our approach is to work towards a budget that leaves room for your everyday needs and unexpected changes. We also help you explore how different purchase prices and financing assumptions could affect your monthly commitments, clearly identifying estimates that require confirmation.
3. Check eligibility and financing
Before you commit, we help you identify the eligibility checks and financing arrangements relevant to your intended purchase.
We encourage you to confirm your borrowing capacity with your lender and your available CPF usage with CPF Board. Where applicable, we also help you identify matters to verify with HDB or other relevant authorities.
Our role is to help you organise these checks so that your property search is guided by confirmed information.
4. Compare properties carefully
We help you compare location, connectivity, layout, tenure, condition and relevant transaction evidence. Drawing on our construction experience, we also highlight practical concerns that may require closer inspection or a specialist’s assessment, particularly for landed homes and redevelopment purchases.
We distinguish documented property information from our assessment of suitability, value and potential. Where we discuss future resale demand or redevelopment possibilities, we explain the assumptions and uncertainties behind our views.
5. Review the terms before committing
Once you have shortlisted a property, we help you assess the asking price against relevant comparisons and negotiate terms that reflect your priorities.
Before you sign or make a payment, we work with you to clarify the proposed timeline, payment milestones and key conditions. We also highlight matters for your lawyer and lender to confirm.
Our approach is to consider the price and purchase terms together, so you can assess the overall commitment.
6. Plan completion and your next move
We help you coordinate the transaction milestones and handover arrangements with the relevant parties.
If you are also selling an existing home, we work with you to map out both timelines, your expected cash flow and any temporary accommodation needs. Our aim is to identify potential gaps early and help you prepare for changes along the way.
