New launch condo Singapore: a practical buyer checklist

Compare like with like

Start with the effective price per square foot, usable layout and total cash required—not the headline price alone. Compare similar unit types, storeys and orientations across nearby projects.

以相同标准比较

不要只看表面价格；应比较实际每平方英尺价格、可用空间及所需现金，并以附近项目相近户型、楼层及座向作对照。

Test the location

Walk the real route to the MRT, daily shops and schools. Visit at different times to understand traffic, noise, sun direction and the feel of the neighbourhood.

亲自验证地点

亲自步行到地铁、日常商店与学校，并在不同时段到访，了解交通、噪音、日照方向及社区环境。

Plan the exit before entry

Review future supply, likely buyer groups and competing resale stock. A sound purchase should fit your holding period and remain understandable to the next buyer.

入场前先想退出

了解未来供应、潜在买家群及转售竞争。合适的购买应符合您的持有期，也能让下一位买家理解其价值。

Apply the checklist to a current project example

Use the same due-diligence sequence on a real shortlist. For a city-centre example, review Union Square Residences in District 1, then verify its current unit information and compare it with genuinely similar alternatives.
