Booking and payment milestones

Keep the option fee, Agreement for Lease and later payments in their proper places.

Use your appointment documents as the reference.

The booking appointment and Agreement for Lease are separate milestones. The relevant amounts, documents and accepted payment methods depend on your purchase and financing arrangements. Check the instructions issued for your household.

Build a payment calendar, not only a grand total.

Record each milestone with the amount due, which funds you plan to use and what needs to happen before payment. If a financing or payment scheme applies, follow its specific terms rather than a generic timeline.

Revisit the plan as circumstances change.

A long wait can change your savings, income and commitments. Check official requirements if household details or financing circumstances change. An online worksheet helps you prepare, while HDB and the lender confirm the actual payment and financing arrangements.
