Yes, you can use the address of your yet-to-complete property as long as it meets the rule set by MOE (taken from http://www.moe.edu.sg/education/admissions/primary-one-registration/required-documents/

Proof of Purchase of Yet-to-be Completed Property

An original Sales and Purchase document is required if the address of a yet-to-be completed private property is used for registration. The date of commitment by the developer in the Temporary Occupation Permit (T.O.P.) must not be later than 31 Dec 2013. In the case of a yet-to-be completed HDB flat, the Agreement for Lease is required.

Parents must move into the new property within two years of the child’s entry into Primary One.

Correct me if I’m wrong but that date is only applicable for 2011 registration to enter P1 in 2012 right? For wongsansan case, it should be a later date.

btw, you just joined KSP today. Welcome to KSP!

You are absolutely right. That date is forever updated with each P1 registration. The guideline is the last sentence of the quoted text:

Parents must move into the new property within two years of the child’s entry into Primary One.

so far does MOE do any spot check ?


like send officials down to parents house to spot check that they do indeed move into the new property, within 2 years of the child’s entry into Primary 1 ?

recall one case last time dun know how … but in the end advertised in newspapers that the father cheated by giving false info, let the child enrol into a school … i wonder how they find out.

He rented a place in Maplewoods just for registration into MGS and he told the landlord he had no intention of staying there. Landlord must have rented to someone else, who also used the same address to register in MGS!

But he was caught on a completely different charge, and this was a consequence of that investigation.

So the short answer is no, MOE doesn't really check, but you will be constantly looking over your shoulder, worrying for 6 years whether you will get caught!

But for those who went thru NS, you know the golden rule!

well a lot of them will be completed by then, but i heard Tao Nan is going to move :yikes:

not really sure if that is true but that was what my sister heard from her neighbours :xedfingers:

i like the east coast area, at least if i dont get tao nan, i can still try other like CHIJ katong or even Ngee Ann.

haiz, even if mum and dad is trying so hard, boy boy must also contribute... my kid don't seemed to be very interested in learning actually, he is good at drawing and games, that worries me...

so if i buy the condo in 2011, the place get completed in 2014 (assuming), then i rent it out, i dont think i will be making a nice profit, probably just to cover the mortage and maintenance fee and maybe be left with a couple of hundreds every month? i think that will work right? i don't have to physically stay there right?
