The issue of when the 15 months start & end has not been addressed. Is it upon the option to purchase being exercised or sale completion?

Hey! It’s based on Sale Completion 🙂

They can just go rent some HDB and give back some of their profits from selling their condo/landed. Shiok lah!

The main issue is that many who already sold their homes didn’t factor in renting for 15 months. It’s quite a hefty fee!

True, hopefully, genuine home buyers would be able to transact easily. But often when people complain about high property prices, they don’t realise that cooling measures will actually affect them too so even if prices go down or stabilise, it does not necessarily mean you can afford it especially when the LTV or interest rates used to determine affordability become stricter.
