Question 2

How to increase the value of my home?

Accepted Answer

Most people only think of increasing the value of their homes when they
              intend to sell it. But if they spared the effort and expense to add
              value while still living there, they'd also benefit from the improved
              surroundings.

Question 3

What should I be mindful of when buying a property in the secondary market?

Accepted Answer

The biggest benefit of buying a property in the secondary market is that
              the property is ready, is more secure and less speculative. Having said
              that, things like title issuance and title tenure are some of the things
              you need to study carefully before making a decision.

Question 4

How do I calculate how much loan I can borrow to buy a property?

Accepted Answer

Beyond knowing how much cash upfront you need to pay when buying a

              finance it. Use the EdgeProp Loan Check to calculate before you commit.
