The journey has been tedious but thank God everything went smoothly. Being Singapore PRs, we cannot buy a new property, so our choices were narrowed down to resale flats. Not to mention the “cooling measures” from the authorities to discourage property sales to continue at the rate it is going right now. This made the flat-buying process trickier as impeccable timing is of the essence with the limited choices and the limited time that we had. Confirmation with the seller’s agent can mean a world of difference if another buyer made the call one minute earlier. We would not get this exact property have we decided to buy a few months sooner or later. So, I guess it’s just a match made in heaven. Well, so to speak.
We went on for flat viewings (with our agent) for just two days, viewed a total of eight units, and fell in love with the seventh. Actually, it was love-at-first-sight! And we were so glad that the owner gave their sweet YES.
Although we found a flat that has minor renovations to be done, we will still be hiring a contractor just to customize the apartment to suit our needs. I will post the home improvements and probably our favorite corners of the home and our new neighborhood. We still need to wait until mid-October to move-in, so for now we’re busy boxing things up, interior design planning and a little furniture shopping.
Oh, we can’t wait!
