You mean conveyance fee? It’s fixed rate pegged to house value.

if you use HDB loan then subjected to HDB conveyancing - check with HDB for the price
If you taking bank loan, bank will have a set of law firms they prefer to deal with, you can check with the banker for the list of law firms and ask law firms to ask the pricing.

Less than 3k, range from 2k-3k ? better to call up and ask, and remember ask for nett price, there are various complains from other people in the forum where end up the cost is more than what was initially asked :D (gst, no idea what else bla bla bla)

DBS home loan, and they recommended PKWA @ $1,800.

simple, straightforward. went down once to sign papers, then i think that's it. they will attend HDB completion on my behalf since there is 3M extension requested by seller.

Mine was Apex Law LLC near Toa Payoh hub (DBS provided a few firms but I chose it cos it is near to my work place and also HDB).

You need to go down their office once for signing the documents for HDB resale (including CPF usage for stamp duty) and go there another time to drop the cashier order for completion date and cash (for seller's property tax). They will attend the completion date for yourself.

1788nett no more already, think start at 1800 nowadays. You must see which law firm is on the bank panel.

If i'm not wrong $1,800 is only applicable when you go through DBS upon taking up their loan. What did your bank's law firm offer you?
