We're supposed to collect our keys last year, but 85% of BTO projects face delays and we're one of the 43,000 households affected ):
During the collection of keys, we will have to pay a survey fee, registration fee on the deed, stamp duty on the deed, home protection, fire insurance etc...
How much will the grand total be?
Does it matter or does it not matter?
Since at the end of the 99 year lease it will be $0?
