One Chuan Grove Showflat, Preview and Launch Timeline

One Chuan Grove launch timeline

The developer of One Chuan Grove has not yet announced official launch dates. Based on published reports and the usual sequence for a large new launch, the timeline is expected to look like this:

Dates are indicative and depend on the developer's plans and approvals. We will update this page as soon as the official dates are known.

Booking a showflat appointment

Large launches near MRT stations commonly see thousands of visitors over the preview weekends. To manage this, developers normally open the showflat by appointment only during the preview. To get a good slot:

1. Register early on our registration page, so we can send you the e-brochure and price list before the preview opens.
2. Choose a weekday slot if you can. Weekday mornings are usually far less crowded than weekends.
3. Bring everyone who will decide: spouse, parents or co-owners. It is much easier to agree on a unit when everyone has seen the showflat and the model.
4. Plan for an hour or two to see the units, walk through the scale model and go through the price list and floor plans with us.

What to look for at the showflat

Showflats are designed to look their best, so it helps to know what to look past and what to check.

• Furniture and finishes: loose furniture, mirrors, decorative wall panels and feature lighting are usually not included. Ask which items come with the unit, and check the specifications list in the brochure.
• Room sizes: bring a measuring tape. Note the actual width of the bedrooms and the living room, and whether your own furniture will fit.
• Ceiling height: standard ceiling heights in new condos are usually around 2.8 m to 3 m in living areas and lower in bathrooms and corridors where there is a false ceiling.
• Kitchen: check the appliance brands, the size of the fridge space, whether the kitchen can be enclosed, and the location of the washer and dryer.
• Scale model: study it to see block orientation, which stacks face the pool or the expressway, and how far each block is from the main gate.
• Unit on display vs your unit: showflats often show only a few unit types. If your preferred type is not on display, look carefully at its floor plan and ask for the virtual tour if available.

Preparing your finances before booking day

Getting your numbers right before the preview is the single most important step. Before booking day, you should have:

• an in-principle approval (IPA) from a bank, which confirms how much you can borrow under the Total Debt Servicing Ratio;
• a clear view of your cash and CPF available for the 20% down payment, of which at least 5% must be in cash for a first housing loan;
• funds for Buyer's Stamp Duty and, if applicable, Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty, payable within 14 days of signing the Sale and Purchase Agreement; and
• for HDB owners, a plan for selling your flat and meeting any ABSD refund deadlines.

Use the calculator on our price page for a quick estimate, and read the new launch buying guide for the details.

How balloting and booking day work

For popular launches, developers often use a balloting system to decide the order in which buyers choose their units:

1. Expression of interest: during the preview, buyers submit an e-application or a cheque, together with their preferred unit types.
2. Ballot: each application is given a random queue number. Some developers run separate queues for different unit types.
3. Booking day: buyers are called in queue order to choose from the units still available. It is wise to shortlist several units across different stacks and floors, because your first choice may be taken before your number is called.
4. Option to Purchase: once you select a unit, you pay the 5% booking fee and receive the Option to Purchase.

After booking: what happens next

Within about two weeks of booking, the developer's lawyers send the Sale and Purchase Agreement (S&P) to your lawyer. You then have three weeks to sign and return it, together with the next 15% of the purchase price (less the 5% already paid), bringing the total to 20%. Stamp duties are due within 14 days of signing. After that, the remaining 80% is paid in stages as construction progresses, as explained in our progressive payment guide.
