Hi all,


I would like to check whether there's any chance of getting in Catholic High (PRI) during Phase 2B if one stays between 1km - 2km?
Or what happens is the parents are turned away from registration because there's balloting even for one who stays within 1km?

Thanks.

From past history, CHS only has space for SC in phase 2B.

If, by chance, there were space available for PR, those living within 1km would
be balloting for them first. So PR outside of 1km pretty much has no chance at all.

Hi may I know if SC living 1-2km would have a chance? Does SC living 1-2km have a better chance than PR within 1km? I don't mind doing parent volunteer, my son is born in 2013 does that mean I have to apply for PV next year? TIA!

May I know if staying less than 1KM away from St Andrews still need to do volunteer work? My son is born in the year of the snake. & like are they picky with volunteers? I don’t have any skills/talent!!

Hello everyone,


This reply might be a little too late, but as an agent myself I would like to share some things:

Market Practice is Buyers of Private Properties need not pay any commission. However some agents do charge buyers commission, but they can only take from either the buyer or seller, not both. For HDB Buyers, agent usually charge 1%.

For sellers market standard for selling is 2%. If the buyer has an agent usually they will co broke like 1% each.
Yes some agents would do it for 1%, but actually might be a disadvantage to you. Why? Because the buyers agent would not be motivated to bring their buyers to buy your property as they only get 0.5%. Do you know that many developers now pay agents much much more than that. Do you think these buyers agent would rather bring their buyers to buy your property & get 0.5% or convince their buyers to buy a new project & get much more commission?

Also I've come across many unethical sellers agents who are not willing to co broke, they would only want to entertain direct buyers without agents so they do not have to share their commission. This is not acting in the sellers best interest as the sellers would be missing out on many buyers with agents. Hope you guys don't encounter such greedy agents! :xedfingers: Cheers! :rahrah:
