Payment Schedule Of Private Condo
How much downpayment must I pay when buying a new launch private condo? You should prepare for the initial cash booking of 5% first to ensure that the unit is blocked off for you. You will get to sign the Option To Purchase (OTP) on the same day.
Thereafter, the Sales & Purchase Agreement will be sent to you within 2 weeks and of which you need to sign this contract within 3 weeks of receipt of this document. By signing on this important contract, it means that you have exercised your OTP. If you do not wish to exercise your OTP, a forfeiture of 25% of your Booking Fee will go into action. Of course, you will be refunded with the balance of the Booking Fee.
The Buyer Stamp Duty (and Additional Buyer Stamp Duty) is required to be paid within 2 weeks of exercising your OTP to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS).
The next payment is the 15% Downpayment and this needs to be made within 8 weeks from your initial 5% Booking Fee which you made at the start of your new condo purchase process.
Subsequent payments depend on the building progress of your new launch condo. Detailed discussion can be arranged with New Condo Launch | Condo Singapore with regards to the Payment Schedule and anything else regarding your Singapore condominium purchase.
