5 Favourite Property Mistakes That Singaporeans Love To Make
Don’t make these mistakes when you are thinking of buying a property.
Property is a great investment, because it’s not like this whole country that is only one island has a lot of space. By 2060 it will probably take a 25-year mortgage just to pay off your parking space. That said, overhyping the whole “property is great” angle leads to a lot of hasty mistakes:

5 favourite property mistakes that Singaporeans love to make
ShareProperty is a great investment, because it’s not like this whole country that is only one island has a lot of space. By 2060 it will probably take a 25-year mortgage just to pay off your parking space. That said, overhyping the whole “property is great” angle leads to a lot of hasty mistakes. If you’re still living with parents, and have a high ventnough income, you might be tempted to play landlord by buying a shoebox apartment. In theory, it seems like a good idea: buy a luxury 500 sqft or smaller unit, and then rent it out to expatriates for side-income. The problem is, you now become the owner of private property. As in, you are no longer eligible to buy a HDB flat. So what happens if, before the 25-year loan on your shoebox is up, you decide to settle down and raise a family? I understand the temptation to invest in property as soon as possible but when it comes to shoeboxes, make sure you have somewhere viable to stay, or that you’re dead certain you won’t be settling down any time soon, before buying….

- Not knowing the real cost of home ownership
Getting acquainted with the home purchase process took more than knowing how much 3-room and 4-room units cost in our preferred districts. Apart from the listed prices, there were other costs involved. It looked something like this during the different phases:

2. Paying more than what it’s worth
“Check, check and triple check”, my GP teacher used to holler in junior college; reminding us not to lose unnecessary marks due to simple mistakes in our essays. In this case, I kept tabs on the property market and found out that resale prices dropped slightly in Sembawang and Bedok. Property comparisons were easy with the URA’s Property Price Index (PPI). I also kept myself fastidiously updated on the transacted prices for resale flats within the last two years on HDB’s website. By then, I knew enough housing and financial abbreviations to rival any insurance or housing agent.

3. Not checking for defects and poor workmanship
With the horror stories I read online about buyers discovering leaky toilets and popping floor tiles, a thorough inspection was something on my must-do list. I now know the drill – a long roll of masking tape, a fine marker and keen eyes to inspect every corner of my newly collected flat or a renovated resale unit. For resale units, a professional would be needed to check the electrical systems, plumbing, air conditioning and any other possible defects that I could not identify.

4. Not planning ahead
In the midst of our future home research, K and I had envisioned how our rooms would look like. But on hindsight, we realised we hadn’t talked about the numbers – how much we would commit to renovation loans or if we would upgrade after the minimum five-year occupation period.

Stamp duty: Common mistakes to avoid
For the past three years, more than 90% of taxpayers have complied with the requirements for stamp duty, which is paid on documents or agreements related to properties in Singapore as well as stocks and shares. These include tenancy or lease agreements, acceptance of options to purchase as well as sale and purchase (S&P) agreements.

3 Mistakes Young Singaporeans Make When Purchasing Their BTO Flat
Balloting for that BTO flat or shopping around for a resale flat are practically a rite of passage for young Singaporeans about to tie the knot.
Since it’s something so many here go through, people tend to go through the motions without really trying to critically think about what they’re doing. They ballot for the biggest flat they can afford, thank the gods when they finally get allocated one after many unsuccessful attempts, and then sign up for that home loan.
Easy right? Not really. Here are four mistakes too many young people are making when they start the process of getting their BTO flat.

Knowing some common mistakes first-time home owners make—and how to avoid them—could help before you sign on the dotted line.

9 common mistakes of first time HDB buyers
There are a lot of things to consider when buying a new flat, but that’s not the main problem. The issue is that your decision isn’t really reversible – buy the wrong unit, and you’re listening to honking trucks at 3 am for the next 25 years (or worse, if you buy a resale unit with a loanshark problem). Here are the common mistakes to avoid:

5 common mistakes foreigners make when buying Singapore property
So you want to buy a property in Singapore. Well, get ready to look deep – nothing here is how it appears on the surface. Sleepy Yishun has weird crimes, “industrial” Jurong is more green than many other estates, and “sea view” Sentosa is more like an observation platform for container ships. Besides those, here are some other things that get missed:

Property Buying Guide – Top 4 Mistakes You Want To Avoid
Knowledge that can be gleaned from a property buying guide is often ignored by Singaporeans as they felt that buying property is easy as everyone around them owns a property. A strong cornerstone of what it means to be a Singaporean is to own a property (in property crazed Singapore) which we call our home. From generation to generation, we have been instilled with the mindset that getting a roof over our heads is essential. It is a good mindset to instil in the younger generation.
