Saw the group but like not very happening there. No movement. Just posted something!

Total 70 units have been taken up, as of 26th July 2012.
Last Q No. 99
Take up rate: 71%
Lights: 26
McNair: 44

Seems like 109 (Lights) and 276 (McNair) are the hot favourites!

For unit breakdown, can check out the fb page!

i 600+ leh... mid of sept...

600+ is quite safe just that unit is ur choice unit may not be as acceptable.

some like in the 780+ 4rm onwards and 260+ 3rm onwards have alot of problem due to racial quota even thou we are in the allocation

 

[tanjhj]

wahaha.... today 3 dropouts.... think huishann should be the most happy one

3 drops out means the take up is high at 75% which means we may get units but not the one we wanted most likely the low level units..

we are hoping for 50% drop out as in the other bto so we can get better units..

Hi guys, can I check with u all if me n my gf combined income less than 5k are we able to get a flat sucessfully? Worried as our turn is 2weeks time n scare if we pay the 2k option fee but HLE won't loan us Max amt n we don't have so much cash to top up. Cpf 10% + stamp fees should not be an issue as will be deducted from cpf. Just worried abt the loan part. No cash

On what base would they loan us Max amt? We are first timers buying flats but both of us low income

Income Less than 5k got grant. You can use the hdb online calculator to have an idea how much loan you can get.

income less than 5k how come cannot afford?

which area you buying? 3-room or 4-room?

how old are both of you?

 

[nicholaslee]

How to calculate the stamp duty? Say for a $520k flat?

Convenience fees payable too?

I based on calculations provided by HDB, the total fee is about $12k?

 

[keithster]

I suspect those who dropped out over the past few weeks are people who are eagerly wanting to buy KW.

But after going down for flat selection, it is the officer-in-charge who assess their income capability and savings, and advises them to give up the seat.

Do you think this is the case?

Most people thought that stamp duty is 3% but is actually 1% - 3% of the overall pricing.

Only thing I am not sure is if the pricing quoted has already included GST.

I know it sounds funny but now everything talks about GST. So I am not surprise housing too.

 

[nicholaslee]

Yup.

First $180k - 1%
Next $180k - 2%
Rest - 3%

 

[nicholaslee]

Conveyancing Fee for:
Sale of flat by HDB is based on the selling price of the flat
Acting for buyer in the mortgage is based on the mortgage loan of the flat

First $30,000, 90 cts per $1,000
Next $30,000, 72 cts per $1,000
Subsequent Amount Above $60,000/-, 60 cts per $1,000
The minimum conveyancing fee chargeable is $20

*Conveyancing Fee is subject to GST.

 

[keithster]

Yup.

First $180k - 1%
Next $180k - 2%
Rest - 3%

You know the answer you still wanna ask? Bo liao
