deepakvali 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2008 whoever that person is, thinks that we are in the trade of money laundering definitely S$488k is not affordable to us for 3rm flat regardless of location or elevation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zirhk3355 1 Report post Posted August 18, 2008 Yeah, he is really just trying his luck. Putting things in perspective, $488K - $275K (compensation amt) - $30K (discount for replacement flat) = $183K. Now the reason why someone would buy a SERS flat is because of the intangible benefits that will be inherited, which include guarantee of getting the replacement flat? In other words, you pay $183K to guarantee yourself an unit, compared to others who will take a chance at the public ballot 4 years later. Would you do that? The answer will determine if this seller asking price of $488K can come true... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do not really understand how this SERS thing work but if someone really pay $488K to buy the 3-rm flat, is this counted as a normal resale transaction? Then the buyer will have to pay $488 - $275 (assuming this is the valuation) = $213K COV? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then the buyer will have to pay $488 - $275 (assuming this is the valuation) = $213K COV? Yes and precisely!! And BTW $275K is the compensation, which include the valuation + estimated expenses (under SERS, govt do compensate abit for your reno also). The valuation itself is a few thousands lesser, maybe $270K only. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deepakvali 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2008 it will not be us but there could be some potential Permanent Residents or Citizens who might just pay such an amount of $$$. if there are pple who does not mind paying such an enormous amount of $$$ for a hdb flat at Tiong Bahru and Mei Ling Street, why not Commonwealth Drive if we were still holding on to our old 3rm hdb flat, we definitely would welcome this S$488k offered to me as option to take over my full SERS benefits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
