Common questions from Singapore property buyers
Here we answer the most frequently asked legal questions by individuals planning to buy a home or investment property in Singapore.
Do I need a lawyer when buying a condo in Singapore?
Yes, legal representation is crucial. A property lawyer protects your rights by reviewing contracts, verifying property ownership, and ensuring compliance with local regulations. They manage complex procedures like stamp duty filing, loan documentation, and title registration. Without a lawyer, you risk costly mistakes, contractual misinterpretation, or losing your deposit due to overlooked clauses or missed deadlines.
What is the legal process when buying an HDB flat?
The legal process includes confirming eligibility, signing the Option to Purchase, completing resale applications with HDB, paying stamp duties, and attending the HDB completion appointment. A lawyer ensures each step meets HDB requirements, reviews documents for compliance, and manages funds release. This legal oversight ensures you meet deadlines and avoid transaction cancellation or penalties.
How long does the property legal process take?
Typically, the legal process takes 8 to 12 weeks, depending on the property type, financing method, and seller’s readiness. We streamline the process by coordinating with all parties including sellers, banks, and government agencies. We keep you updated regularly and anticipate delays to ensure smooth completion.
What are the legal costs involved in buying a property?
Our fixed legal fee covers contract review, title search, stamp duty submission, and full conveyancing. There may be additional costs for disbursements like SLA registration or CPF-related documents. We provide a clear breakdown upfront so you understand exactly what you're paying for. You can expect no hidden charges or surprise invoices.
