Prepare 40% (only 20% - 5 cash, 15 CPF- if it is your first and only property) for down payment , about 3 % for stamp duty , about 2 k for bank and legal fees, and depending on your nationality and whether you are affected, x% for additional buyer's stamp duty.

Also note the thing called TDSR- affects how much loan you can take.
