we tried the pariss buffet twice at marina square. the food is not bad esp the crab and shark fins. usually, the crab finishes very fast but the food will replenish la. tampines branch is much cheaper.

yours is condo or landed? foreigners can buy condo but dont know about landed.

absolutely not a good buy bcos ulu. agreed. ya lor. got gold meh? what's so big deal?

erm, no reply from my above posting?

ya, i guess i roughly know where the place is now. is it at 3rd level?

i've a question. if the seller already accepted $1000 from the buyer and signed the OTP but suddenly the seller doesnt want to sell the house anymore, so will the seller have to suffer any penalty? does the seller need to give the agent commission? the above refers to hdb flat.

for me, i have to see the location and what sort of house (hdb or condo) i'm going to buy. if i were to buy hdb and to pay so much $$$ for good location then i definitely wont buy. if i were to buy condo, the price is reasonable and location is still ok for me then i'll buy.

i see. holland is my mum's house so i dont feel comfortable to reveal it. sorry. i can only tell you its opp holland village. 420k for 3rm is too high liao. this price can buy EA liao.

ya, up to individual lor. for people like us, we prefer to do tea ceremony and banquet together; also must choose an auspicious date. ya, agreed too.

the wedding favours and florist are included in the wedding package.

after TOP, the price of the property sure goes up hor.

ya, some buyers are like that bcos they thought they're buying a showflat. when a buyer wants to buy a resale house and which mean he/she is buying an empty house leh. if the buyer wants everything in the house then he/she must pay for the showflat price lor. ya, agreed. they thought furnishing no need $$$ to buy meh.

i also wont pay $720 for hdb flat. ya lor. but no big deal about kim tian location. its quite old leh.

hi mr chong, how did you know krislye's flat is period 8? base on what or how to see? thanks.

any kind soul pls share with me where the place is? we always hang out at suntec city but cant find this eating place.

oh, the kim tian hdb flat huh. btw, did the owner manage to sell his/her kim tian flat? $720k is really too high for hdb flat la. as well get EC. !!

oh, the chevrons huh. its not bad too. btw, is it a country club? we always drive past but dont know what its. !! your customary is referring to tea ceremony or what? usually, tea ceremony and banquet are done on the same day. tea ceremony is in the morning and banquet is in the evening. for us, even banquet also must find an auspicious date.

ya la, pte property just use (purchase price x 3%) - $5400 = stamp fees. !! this formula sure applies for pte property bcos where got pte property less than 360k?? !! the amount of the stamp fees for pte property is very scary lor, unlike buying hdb flat.

yup la, its a must that the buyer has to pay the stamp fees. this i know. but i'm curious why so good can deduct the $5400. so, any selling price below $360k doesnt have deduction of $5400 la. only selling price above $360k will have a deduction of $5400 lor. !!

i dont know what you were talking about leh. blur! if the selling price is $800,000 (pte property) then 3% stamp fees is about $24,000. so, stamp fees $24,000 still can deduct $5,400 meh? eventually, the stamp fees is $24,000 - $5,400 = $18,600? $5,400 is the standard deduction? btw, i dont understand in red leh.

of course, $5400 is quite a lot leh. but what's this $5400? why can be deducted? is it for direct or resale purchase (pte property)? need some explaination?

yup, i know its 3% stamp fees but wanted to confirm again. but why must deduct $5400 after that? $5400 is for what? for hdb, stamp fees is also 3%?

yup, 5% cash then 15% cash/CPF and 90% bank loan (pte property). but how many % is the stamp fees for pte property? the stamp fees can be a lot leh for pte property.

but by IEA's guidelines, its 1% for buyer and 2% for seller (for both hdb and pte property). so, how come in general market practice for pte property buyer doesnt need to pay whereas seller has to pay 1%?

halo, how much does agent charge buyer and seller? is it the same for both hdb and pte property?
