What 10 questions should you ask at a new-launch gallery?

Answer-first · facts only · CEA-safe. Last reviewed 5 Oct 2026.

Ask the same 10 factual questions at every gallery and write the answers down from official staff — not from chat-group hearsay.

  1. What is the tenure and lease commencement date?
  2. What is the expected vacant possession (and what could shift it)?
  3. What is included in the stated strata area (balcony/PES; AC ledges excluded)?
  4. Can I see the progressive payment schedule in writing?
  5. Which fittings and appliances are standard vs upgrade?
  6. When will estimated maintenance / sinking fund figures be available?
  7. How do defects liability and warranty claims work after keys?
  8. For my profile, what stamp duties / eligibility issues should I clear with a lawyer/bank first?
  9. Which brochure items are still “subject to change”?
  10. Exact steps from expression of interest → booking → OTP — and cooling-off if any?

Pair this with preview prep and never treat artist’s impressions as the finished building.
