A couple in their 30s
The first home that they purchased together was a three-bedroom DBSS flat at Trivelis which they purchased five years ago on a bank loan.
They wanted to sell the flat after they cleared the MOP in order to upgrade to a private property.
They were concerned that they would be forced to sell at a lower price given the track record of defects at the condo, as well as greater housing competition in the area.
The buyer’s brief:
A budget of up to $1.75 million for a two-bedroom condo unit.
They preferred a location in District 5, between Ulu Pandan and Bukit Timah.
