When buying an EC or Condo in Singapore, there were cases whereby buyers had to forfeit deposit because they found they were unable to get sufficient loan from banks. In other cases, buyers realized they didn't factor in resale levy till they talked to a professional real estate agent. Such cases go on and on.
This complete guide on financing an EC or condo assists you to familiarize the financing part so that you can be better prepared before, during and after the property purchase.
Even better, you are armed with calculators. With these tools, you can easily figure out the maximum loan amount to take, highest property price within budget, the down payment, and subsequent monthly installment.
