ThanksThat depends on your location preference. Raffles area or HDB hub? Suit your convenience! I would let the agent do it coz its really a lot of hassle but diy u can potentially save. I nego w agent till i found one that accepted 0.5% commission....:D think carefully...:spliff:

Generally only $2.5k-$3k regardless of the price of your property. Landed may be slightly more. Go HDB hub got many law firms can give you this price. :cheers1:

she said cash deals. Simpler work.

Market rate $2.5k to $3k is correct but u have to add GST.
