Frequently Asked Questions

A: Incorrect pricing is the most common one. An unrealistic asking price can leave your property unsold for months, while underpricing means losing value. Use recent comparable transactions and professional appraisals to set a realistic figure.

A: It depends on the property, the price, market conditions, and the buyer's financing. A well-priced, well-presented property with ready documents is generally easier to sell, but timelines vary, so ask your agent for a realistic estimate.

A: Commonly required documents include the title deed, your identification, a service charge clearance, and a No Objection Certificate from the developer where applicable. Mortgage holders also need settlement details from their bank. Requirements can vary, so confirm them with your agent and the relevant authorities.

A: Yes, but the mortgage must be settled as part of the transaction. Request a settlement figure from your lender, understand any early settlement fees, and arrange the mortgage release with the buyer's side.

A: Often yes. Many overseas owners complete sales remotely, sometimes using a power of attorney for a trusted representative. Check the current requirements with your agent and the relevant authorities.

A: The transfer fee is typically paid by the buyer, but this can be negotiated. Always confirm who pays each fee in writing before signing the agreement.

A: Many owners do, because an experienced licensed agent can help with valuation, marketing, negotiation, and paperwork. Choose a registered professional, verify their licence, and read the agreement carefully before signing.
