Instalments are estimated on the cumulative amount drawn down, amortised over the full tenure. Actual timing depends on construction progress and your bank.

Why progressive payment suits HDB upgraders

With a completed resale condo, you pay everything within about 10–12 weeks. With a new launch like One Chuan Grove, 80% of the price is spread over roughly four to five years. In practice:

  • Your cash and CPF outlay in year one is limited to 20% plus stamp duties.
  • Loan instalments start small and rise gradually as each construction stage is billed.
  • You can stay in your HDB flat during construction and sell it close to TOP. Married Singapore Citizen couples have up to 6 months after TOP to sell and claim back the ABSD.

One payment scheme for new launches

New private launches, including One Chuan Grove, are sold under the progressive (normal) payment scheme shown above. The exact terms will be set out in the Sale & Purchase Agreement.

Frequently asked questions

What is the progressive payment scheme for new launch condos?

Under the Normal Payment Scheme, you pay 5% on booking and 15% within 8 weeks when you exercise the S&P agreement. The remaining 80% is paid in stages as the building is constructed: foundation, framework, walls, ceiling, services, car park and roads, then 25% at TOP and 15% at CSC. The bank loan is drawn down stage by stage.

How much cash do I need for a new launch condo?

With a 75% first loan, at least 5% of the price must be in cash. The next 15% can be cash or CPF, and stamp duties are due within 14 days of exercising the option. For a $2M unit that is about $100,000 cash, $300,000 cash or CPF, plus about $70,000 BSD.

When do monthly mortgage payments start for a new launch?

Once the bank makes its first disbursement, usually after the foundation stage about 6 to 12 months after launch. Instalments start small and increase at each stage as more of the loan is drawn down.
