Q1: Why do I need to get a valuation done before I sell my house?
In volatile markets, selling your property based on the lastest transacted prices may be inaccurate due to the time lag between the actual transaction and the published transacted prices. Also, most buyers would want to know the valuation or the bank indication of your property to access their ability to purchase your home.
Q2: What are the main factors that affect the value of my property?

The factors are:

a) Tenure
b) Location
c) Quality
d) Proximity to conveniences and facilities such as MRT, market, bus-stops
e) Surrounding features such as beautiful scenery/landscape
f) Current demand for the property
Q3: How much does it cost to obtain a valuation report?
Generally, a valuation exercise costs from 0.5% to 3% of a property's value.
