Purpose
Confirm whether the property is for your own use, investment, rental income, redevelopment, family planning or a business need.
For home buyers, investors, families and companies
Buy only when the price, risks and long-term fit make sense.
A property purchase can affect your family, business or investment plans for many years. We first understand why you are buying, what you cannot compromise on and what could go wrong before recommending any property.

Start with why you are buying
Start with why you are buying, not with whichever property is being advertised.
Clear buying criteria help us narrow the choices, compare properties properly and focus your money on options that suit your real purpose.
Buying criteria
Agree on the budget, freehold or leasehold tenure, location, timing, financing, how long you plan to hold the property and what you will not compromise on.
Key risks
Check legal issues, planning rules, property condition, tenancy, ease of resale, financing and completion risks early.
Compare and decide
Compare the price, other suitable options and longer-term value before making an offer.
How we help you buy with confidence
Clear checks and analysis before you commit.

Property types
We advise on Singapore homes, commercial property and investment assets.
Different properties must be assessed differently. A Good Class Bungalow (GCB) is not valued like an office floor, and a conservation shophouse should not be negotiated like a condominium.

A rare or beautiful property can still be a poor purchase if the price, ownership control or future options do not suit you.
Prepare before you negotiate
Good properties can move quickly. Prepare your funds and decision-making early.
Before negotiating, buyers should be clear about financing, who will own the property, which advisers are involved, documents showing where the purchase money comes from and who must approve the deal.
Funding ready
Loan or cash plan, proof of funds, currency needs and ability to complete on time.
Decision-makers ready
Clear decision authority, agreement among the people involved, order of approvals and a firm walk-away price.
Advisers ready
Lawyers, tax advisers, valuers, architects, engineers or other specialists engaged when needed.
