yah free shuttle usually only for limited period. If want to extend all residents must agree to pay more management fee, usually this won't happen

But so far I see most of the older condo in my area, all still retain the shuttle service. If MRT is not within walking distance, I guess the residents won't stop it.

why you want to sell ur house now for progressive payment?

The progressive payment will allow you to hold ur current HDB up to 6 months after TOP... Only when you take Def payment then you need to dispose ur HDB prior TOP..

Note the cost of moving your house twice if you take Def payment and the hassle.. however provided that you are comfortable of servicing two loan at the same time if you take prog payment..

how come cannot use CPF for the 15%?
My CPF is used to deduct 15% downpayment + Stamp Duty + Legal Fee.
Total cash fork out is 5% downpayment and $100+ fee for bank loan.

the 15% can use CPF..

and take note the time for the 15% is only 6 to 8 weeks from the 5% payment so I dont think you can finish the whole process of selling your HDB unless you have started it already.. Please spend within your means because you still need cash later on for renovation, painting, lightning etc which normally min 20K..

Sigh the wandervale build not as nice as brownstone, even the wardrobe is flimsy and no feel of luxury.. but the size is bigger by ~10 m2 for the same quantum of price.. haiz...

btw any good pri school near brownstone that within 1 KM?

Nope...nearby actually dun have primary school, mainly pte property.
Brownstone location is not close to primary schools in sembawang or yishun area.
Likely MOE will build some new primary school there?
