NO to purchasing properties under buddies/relatives' name. Look at what your max budget is, and plan accordingly. Focus on locations with gd amenities/transport as these properties will always be in demand. Good luck.

I agree. I had a SG colleague who purchased under relative name who is Bumi. This relative made a u-turn and now want to charge $ to allow my colleague to move in failing which they will take it as theirs. My volleague ant do much abt it cos its technically not under their name. Hei if relative with blood relation can do this what more if it is only just close friend. Am not saying ur fren cannot be trusted but $ can transform angel to devil. Best is go by the right way. You wont burden your fren too.

Buy under your own name is best, can sleep better also.

Hi, may I know how much does it cost to engage a mover to move things from Sg to JB? Any recommendations? Still tempted to move to my Austin Heights house and rent out Sg terrace which is very rentable...have tenants coming to view already...

Renting out your SG terrace is probably the easiest to do and least of your worries. The hard part is adapting to LIVING in Johor and your kids schooling there. Have you even stayed at Austin Hts and gotten use to living there? Try commuting in and out for a week, then evaluate if you wanna do it permanently...

We have used CHL movers, there are pros and cons in terms of standard of service but price wise quite reasonable.Please PM me if you want more info.

Hi. Wish to hear opinions from those who have rented out their units.

Consider these 3 condos

1. D Ambience (Jalan Permas) - IJM Land - Freehold
2. M Condo (Larkin) - MB Group - leasehold
3. Meridin Bayvue (Sierra Perdana) - Mah Sing Group - Freehold
4. The Aliff (Tampoi) - MB Group - Leasehold

Which is the easiest to rent out? Why?

Is Freehold necessarily better than leasehold? And why?

Thanks.

You can find post offices at most if not all Aeon, Giant and Tesco malls. Open on alternate Sats till 1230 I think.

Yes, you can pay property tax electric and water bills at these post offices.
