Does Kucing provide guides to help Users ?
Yes, our FREE “How-to” Guides for homeowners and home seekers are available on our platform to help you navigate the crucial steps of Process and Planning. To ensure accuracy and reliability, we source all information exclusively from trusted Singapore Government authorities, including IRAS, HDB, CPFB, URA, SLA, and Ministry of Law. These guides are designed to equip you with the essential knowledge and terminology you need to make informed decisions.
If I am unrepresented, what should I do after agreeing on the price?
If you are buying or selling without a property agent, you should engage a qualified conveyancing lawyer before proceeding. The lawyer can guide you through the legal steps, documents, timelines, payments, checks, signing process, and completion requirements.This may include reviewing or preparing the Option to Purchase (OTP), checking transaction documents, handling transaction monies where applicable, liaising with banks or CPF, and managing legal completion.Before speaking with a lawyer, you may also review the free Guides available on Kucing to understand the general journey and useful terminology. For private residential properties, sellers may refer to the standard contract templates made available by CEA, where applicable. For HDB resale flats, buyers and sellers should follow HDB’s prescribed resale process and forms.If you are buying, you should have the OTP reviewed by your own lawyer before proceeding. If financing is required, you should also prepare your bank In-Principle Approval (IPA), or your HDB Flat Eligibility (HFE) letter where applicable. Kucing may share details of conveyancing law firms where available, but any engagement is strictly between you and the law firm. Kucing does not provide legal, financial, CPF, HDB, or regulatory advice, and our Guides do not replace professional advice from the relevant professionals or authorities.
Does Kucing manage transactions from start to finish?
No. Kucing does not currently provide any end-to-end transaction management platform for buying, selling, or renting property. Today, Kucing helps users post, discover listings, access useful market data, verify profiles and listings, arrange viewings, communicate securely in-app, and better understand the property journey through our Guides. Our long-term vision is to support a more seamless property transaction experience, in line with Singapore’s wider push towards digitalized property transactions. This may include future features to support tenancy agreement workflows, tenancy management, conveyancing-related steps, and sale and purchase documentation. Until such features are available, users should continue to rely on the relevant professionals and authorities, including property agents, conveyancing lawyers, financial institutions, CPF, HDB, SLA, IRAS, URA, and other relevant parties, where applicable.
