We understand that most people have a home to sell in order to facilitate their move to Garden Village.  Therefore, once you have paid your deposit on the apartment of your choice, we will hold the apartment for a period of 3 months giving you time to sell your current home.

Simple matters will be dealt with straight away and politely so that everyone is happy with the solution.

Once you have chosen your apartment, the deposit payable by you is $20,000.  In the unlikely event you decide not to proceed this deposit is fully refundable.  If you do proceed to settlement, the $20,000 forms part of your overall ingoing contribution.

No – there is no Stamp Duty payable
