Bought a resale last year, went through the COV drama. Few things that actually work: one, get your own valuation done first via HDB after y…

We took non-mature in Punggol back when it was still ulu and full of construction dust. First two years I complained non-stop, no proper cof…

We went the room-only route the whole two years to maximise savings for our flat, and for us it was the right call, but it takes the right s…

Regular JB-goer here, worth it IF you play the timing game, brutal if you don't. My rules: go on a weekday if you can, never Saturday mornin…
