Most moves go wrong in the order of steps, not the choice of home. Work out what you'll walk away with, what you can borrow and when to sell before you fall for a showflat.
Where most movers get caught out
- Committing to a new home before knowing your net proceeds after the loan, CPF refund and fees.
- Buying before selling without checking the ABSD rules and deadlines that apply to you.
- Stretching to the top of the loan limit with no buffer if rates or income change.
