Key terms (12)

• ShowflatA showflat, or show unit, is the display unit a developer fits out to represent a new launch's layout and finishes before the actual building is constructed.
• Progressive Payment SchemeThe Progressive Payment Scheme, PPS, is the standard payment structure for buying a new launch condominium in Singapore, spreading payment across roughly 10 construction milestones over 3 to 5 years.
• Deferred Payment SchemeThe Deferred Payment Scheme, DPS, lets a new launch buyer defer most of the purchase price until Temporary Occupation Permit instead of paying progressively during construction.
• New Launch Option to PurchaseAn Option to Purchase for a new launch works differently from a resale OTP: the buyer books a unit and pays a booking fee to the developer, then exercises within a set option period under terms set by the Housing Developers Rules.
• TOPTOP, Temporary Occupation Permit, is issued when a new development is ready for occupation, marking the point a buyer can collect keys and move in, typically 2 to 4 years after booking a new launch unit.
• Certificate of Statutory CompletionThe Certificate of Statutory Completion, or CSC, is issued after Temporary Occupation Permit, once a development has been confirmed built fully in accordance with approved plans, following TOP.
• Defects liability periodThe defects liability period is the window after a new property is handed over during which the developer is contractually obliged to fix defects at no cost to the buyer, typically 12 months from vacant possession for private new launches.
• Stack and FacingA stack is the vertical column of units in a new launch that share the same layout position on every floor, and facing is the direction a unit's main windows and balcony point.
• Unit MixUnit mix is the breakdown of how many units of each size and bedroom type make up a new launch development, usually published as a count or percentage table before or at launch.
• Sub saleA sub sale is the sale of a new launch condominium unit before it reaches Temporary Occupation Permit, TOP.
• Project AccountA project account is a dedicated bank account that Singapore law requires every licensed housing developer to open for each development, so buyer payments during construction are ring fenced for that project rather than mixed into general funds.
• GLSGovernment Land Sales, GLS, is how the state releases residential sites to developers, on a Confirmed List, released regardless of developer interest, and a Reserve List, triggered only when a developer commits to a minimum bid.
