As parents, we all want the best for our children, especially when it comes to their education. In Singapore, where the <\/span>Ministry of Education (MOE) prioritises students living near the school<\/span><\/a>, choosing the right residence is crucial for securing a spot in your preferred institution.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, if you’re looking for a <\/span>new launch condo<\/span><\/a> near your desired schools, make sure to bookmark this comprehensive list of <\/span>new launch condos near top primary schools in East Singapore<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember, to benefit from priority admission, your child must live at the registered address for <\/span>at least 30 months from the start of the P1 Registration Exercise<\/b>. Failure to meet this requirement may result in MOE transferring your child to another school with available places.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, new launch condo vs. resale: Which one should you go for?<\/b><\/h2>\n

While new launch condos offer the latest features and amenities, they come at a premium price and require a longer wait time until TOP. <\/span>Resales<\/span><\/a>, on the other hand, can offer a quicker move-in option and potentially lower investment risk, but might require renovations or may not have the most modern features.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

New launches also provide more flexibility on your payments with the Progressive Payment Scheme (PPS) which relies on the completion status of the development. A resale flat would require you to make full repayment within 8-10 weeks of exercising your OTP, which is a large commitment of capital at the beginning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ultimately, the best choice depends on your individual needs and priorities. Ask yourself these questions: What is your current financial situation? How urgently do you require the flat for your child\u2019s primary school registration?<\/span><\/p>\n

In my view, if you have the luxury of time, you might want to consider getting a new launch, which is what I would be focusing on for the rest of this piece.<\/span><\/p>\n
