DEFERRED PAYMENT SCHEME

Market Data shows that OUE has been offering 4 Payment Schemes for The Twin Peaks. The schemes are considered as the private arrangement of the seller and buyer as The Condo has obtained CSC (The Certificate of Statutory Completion).

Twin Peaks Deferred Payment

In the first scheme - a delayed payment scheme as well, home-buyers can put down a payment of 20% upfront and exercise the option by December 30, 2016. In case of the ABSD requirement is tweaked by the Government, buyers liable to pay Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty would stand to gain.

Under the second delayed payment scheme, buyers can make the upfront payment of 20% for the the issuance of the options to purchase, then within 2 or 3 years later, they need to pay the balance. And like the deferred payment scheme, which the government withdrew in 2007 for properties that have not obtained CSC.

Within two weeks, home-buyers need to exercise the option as well as pay the normal stamp duty plus ABSD where applicable. They can move into their own units at Twin Peaks OUE or rent them out immediately. We just make sense that the developer will hold the title deed until home-buyers make the payment for the balance 80% due to developer.

OUE Twin Peaks to launch Tower 1 with new deferred payment scheme

OUE Ltd sparked the trend of deferred payment scheme (DPS) among completed condominiums in the prime district when it re-launched OUE Twin Peaks Tower 2 in April.

The 462-unit OUE Twin Peaks comprises twin 35-storey towers. The 99-year leasehold condo was completed in February 2015. Towers 1 and 2 are identical, and contain 231 units each.

When it launched the DPS for Tower 2, the starting price for a 570 sq ft one-bedroom unit was $2,100 psf or $1.22 million. Prices hit a high of $3,056 psf for a 549 sq ft one-bedroom unit on the 34th floor that was sold for $1.68 million in May. Only eight units are still available at Tower 2, according to agents.

n the back of this success, OUE is now ready to launch OUE Twin Peaks Tower 1. A first phase of 93 units will be launched on July 30. Buyers can opt to pay by normal progressive payment or choose one of two DPS schemes available. Those who select the DPS scheme will have to pay a price that is 5% higher than those who buy under the normal progressive payment scheme.

Those who choose the first DPS scheme will have to pay a 10% booking fee and another 10% a fortnight later, upon signing the option to purchase. A further $1,000 is payable when they receive vacant possession of the unit. This allows the new owner to move in or to rent out the unit immediately. The balance 80% of the purchase price will only be payable two years after the option exercise date.

For those who select the second DPS scheme, they will have to pay a 20% downpayment upon signing the option to purchase. However, they can defer exercising the option until December 30. Upon exercising the option to purchase, they will then pay $1,000 and obtain vacant possession of the unit. The balance 80% will be due only two years later, starting from December 30.

The second DPS scheme may appear more attractive with an offer to defer exercising the option on top of deferring the balance 80% for the unit. However, by deferring the date of exercising the option to purchase, the buyer will also be deferring the date of obtaining vacant possession of the unit until December 30. This means the buyer will not be able to move in or rent out the unit until then.

For the launch of Tower 1, prices will start from $2,450 psf, with one-bedroom units of 570 sq ft from $1.35 million. All the units in Tower 1 will also be similarly furnished like Tower 2.

APRIL 2016

Developer OUE is offering potential buyers a form of deferred payments in a bid to sell off remaining units at its Twin Peaks condo as the market grapples with plenty of unsold stock.

Deferred payment schemes (DPS) were very popular in 2002 to 2006 but they were abolished in October 2007 for uncompleted private homes. Developers cannot offer similar flexible payment plans if their projects are still uncompleted.

OUE has obtained its certificate of statutory completion for the project so it is no longer licensed under the Housing Developers Rules. These involve strict progress payment rules where a developer is paid based on stages of work done until the project is fully completed.

The 462-unit development was completed in February last year. Around 80 units have been sold at one tower with OUE planning to bulk-sell units at the other tower.

News of OUE's plan, which has two variations, underscores the notion that "in challenging times, one has to be bold and creative", said Mr Desmond Sim, CBRE head of research for Singapore and South- east Asia.

Under the first variation, buyers must make a 20 per cent downpayment and sign the sale and purchase agreement by the end of this year, when the 80 per cent balance and Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) is also paid.

"There are people out there who believe that ABSD may be tweaked positively next year, or maybe the end of this year," said a lawyer who declined to be named. "The general belief is that the ABSD rate can only get better for the buyer, not worse."

Under the second variation, buyers make a 20 per cent downpayment and sign the sale and purchase agreement now. They can then collect the keys to their unit.

The remaining 80 per cent is paid two or three years later, although OUE withholds the title deed until the full sum is paid.

However, there is a catch - OUE prices in a premium. For example, a fourth-floor unit under the DPS appears to be going at about 9 per cent more than if it were sold without the scheme, based on approximations from recent transactions.

This could still make sense for buyers, said Mr Alan Cheong, Savills Singapore research head. Assuming interest savings of 2 per cent per annum over three years and net rental yield of about 2 per cent per annum as well, the net gain is about 12 per cent.

It was reported that a DPS was used after 2007 by Keppel Corporation and Keppel Land for Reflections at Keppel Bay condo and GuocoLand for Goodwood Residences.

Some developments had approval for the scheme but were not yet sold out when the DPS was axed. But Twin Peaks is believed to be the first instance in recent years where a DPS has been made available.

DPS has proven successful in the past. At the MCL Land-Ho Bee joint venture Rio Vista, more than 150 homes were sold within weeks of its relaunch with the DPS incentive in January 2002, even with its average price unchanged from its 2001 launch without the incentive.

While the scheme introduces more flexible options in OUE's case, buyers will probably still be constrained by loan curbs.

In challenging market conditions though, "developers who do well are those who are innovative and are able to offer sustainable sale options which respond to current market requirements", said Ms Jennifer Chia, executive director and head of corporate real estate at TSMP Law Corporation.

OUE dangles 15 per cent discount for Twin Peaks condo

OUE'S latest marketing campaign for its high-end condominium project Twin Peaks has caught the attention of market players - for the steep discounts of 15 per cent off the price list and for its creative schemes.

Reflecting its sense of urgency, OUE has engaged five marketing agencies for the project - PropNex, CBRE, Savills, Centaline Property and SLP International.

With the tantalising discounts, prices now start at S$2,300 per square foot (psf) for selected "star-buy" units on the lower floors of this District 9 development at the junction of Leonie Hill Road and Grange Road.

Of the creative schemes dangled before potential buyers, one is a deferred payment scheme, which allows buyers to defer payment of the balance sum by two to three years; the other is a scheme under which buyers exercise their option to purchase (OTP) by Dec 30 this year.

Both are offered under private treaties; such schemes cast a spotlight on the flexibility that private treaties offer to developers whose projects have received Certificates of Statutory Completion (CSC).

Developers of uncompleted properties are unable to offer deferred payment schemes since the government abolished the scheme in 2007. Because OUE's project has obtained its CSC and is de-licensed, the developer is no longer subject to the provisions of the Housing Developers (Control & Licensing) Act and its rules, including the use of the prescribed OTP and sale-and-purchase agreement.

Under OUE's deferred payment scheme, buyers foot a 20 per cent downpayment to secure the option to purchase (OTP), and pay the remaining 80 per cent only two to three years later. They only need to pay another S$1,000 to exercise the OTP within two weeks and pay relevant stamp duties and S$1,000 to take vacant possession of the unit within eight weeks from the option date.

But the title deed will not be transferred to the buyer until two to three years later, though he or she can still occupy or rent out the unit. Buyers going for the deferred payment scheme under private treaty will get a price discount of 12 per cent instead, BT understands.

As for the other scheme that allows a buyer to exercise the OTP by Dec 30, the 15 per cent price discount applies.

Under such private treaties, however, the 20 per cent downpayment will be forfeited if the OTP is not exercised. This is unlike a standard OTP for a new launch, under which 25 per cent of the booking fee is forfeited if the option is not exercised.

Deferred payment schemes were also offered for selected units in completed projects such as Bishopsgate Residences by Kajima Development, going by an advertisement in The Star Malaysia late last year.

A lawyer who declined to be named said that private treaties provide great flexibility for the developer and buyers, and developers with projects nearing completion may hasten the process of obtaining the CSC.

The deferred payment scheme by OUE helps to ease buyers' cashflows, as it offers more time for them to dispose of other properties and secure a bigger loan when the 80 per cent payment falls due, market watchers said.

As for the scheme offering a longer exercise period, it facilitates buyers who are either waiting for the additional buyer's stamp duty (ABSD) to be tweaked by this year or who may need more time to dispose of an existing property to avoid the ABSD.

OUE has to finish selling all units of Twin Peaks by February 2017, failing which the extension charges under qualifying-certificate conditions kick in.

It has so far sold nearly 80 units of the 462 units at an average S$2,876 psf based on caveats lodged; it is still said to be looking to offload one of two 35-storey towers in a bulk sale.

The project obtained its temporary occupation permit (TOP) in February.
