A 10-year-old leasehold property in Singapore is generally not the most expensive option compared to newer properties.

The Build-To-Order (BTO) system in Singapore allows eligible buyers to apply for newly built HDB flats at specific sites.

If the buyer discovers a missing balcony sliding door after taking over the unit, they should refer to the Sale and Purchase Agreement (S&PA).

Documenting everything is advisable.
