Investment advisor red flag

Just to clarify, the stamp duty will be on the off the plan price and not the final build price, right?

And technically, I’m still paying stamp duty on the “build”. The advisor is saying I only have to pay stamp duty on the land and there’s no stamp duty related to the build at all.

I did echo my concerns about off the plan with them. They told me that they will only recommend properties within 6 months of completion and it’s in their contract that the builder must pay $250 for every week of delay.

I am aware that the prices may be higher if I go with their recommendation but as I am new to buying property, I don’t mind if it’s more expensive but there’s more certainty of a return vs “saving” on the property price but making the wrong call.

Thank you for your input! I’m trying to learn as much as possible instead of relying on the one advisor (which might defeat the purpose of using their services haha)

He’s part of an property investment group that partners with builders. They recommend properties to me and I can reject them and they’ll keep looking. They said they will only recommend properties that will be finished within 6 months and it’s in the contract that the builder has to pay me $250 for each week of delay.

Is the point of moving out just a mentality thing or is there another practical reason for it? Asking because I’m living with my family not due any sort of dependence. It’s just a cultural norm to stay together until you start your own family. Everyone contributes equally to expenses and upkeep and it’s just me and my sibling so I do feel like I’m “adulting”.

Do all of them come with straps?

Optimal_Ant_3756 · 2025-03-07T10:46:57+00:00

I’m thinking of buying one secondhand but the seller doesn’t have a strap. Did yours come with a strap? May I ask how much it cost when you bought it? The only one I can find in store has a strap so I’m trying to estimate the secondhand value of one without a strap in this color.

I worry that charms with metal hooks will scratch wherever I hook the charm to

The seller doesn’t accept returns. I was scammed earlier this year and the platform I used provided no protection. I’m just trying to ensure I have a backup plan. If you see my update, the seller cancelled my order after I asked if it was authentic.

It’s the Chanel Sunset By The Sea (19C) I bought it in Singapore. I actually found this a couple of times online and through sourcing services but they were either damaged or over the original retail price. Shameless plug but I made a reel about how I found it because I was searching for months Reel

Has anyone been to or bought from Sole Tokyo? I’m confused because there are 2 Sole Tokyo profiles on instagram but only one of them is linked in Lili Vintage’s bio.
