Transparency: The portal provides information on recent transaction prices of similar flats in your area, An advisory note will be sent out if your listing price underpriced or if it is listed at 10% or higher than the highest transacted price in the last 6 months. This is so that  you can set a realistic price, reducing the risk of overpricing or underpricing your flat. 


4. Only qualified buyers: The portal only allows buyers who have their Housing Flat Eligibility letter ready to make appointments to view the flat which saves a lot of time and energy for sellers and their appointed agents.
