How often is the information updated? |

The transaction data are updated twice a week on every Tuesday and Friday. If the scheduled date of update falls on a public
holiday, it will be updated on the following working day.
|
|
Why are there no records of recent transactions reported in the press? |
| |
This information service only covers property transactions with caveats lodged with the Singapore Land Authority.
Typically, caveats are lodged at least 2-3 weeks after a purchaser signed an option to purchase at the showflats.
The press frequently reports the sales status of projects based on observations at showflats or interviews with
developers. Therefore, what you read in the media will be different from the information shown here.
In addition, it is not compulsory to lodge a caveat for all property purchases. Lodging of caveats is usually done
voluntarily by purchasers through their lawyers to protect their interest in the property.
|
|
What is a caveat? |
| |
A caveat is a legal document lodged with the Singapore Land Authority by a purchaser to protect his/her interests after
an option to purchase is exercised or a Sales & Purchase Agreement is signed.
|
|
What does strata area refer to? |
| |
The strata area of a housing unit refers to the area of the unit as reflected in the Subsidiary Strata Certificate of Title (SSCT), which is approved by the Chief Surveyor and issued to the owner of the unit. The strata area is the basis for computing the unit transacted price for all non-landed properties and strata landed properties such as cluster housing.
|
|
Does the price shown on URA Online include promotion and discounts offered by developers? |
| |
The transacted price shown is based on the price declared by the purchaser when he/she lodged the caveat.
|
|
Why are there no unit numbers displayed for the caveats listed? |
