Buyers in Bukit Timah choose between new launches such as Dunearn House and the many completed condominiums along Dunearn and Bukit Timah Roads. Each route has its own trade-offs in timing, cost structure and specification. This article sets out how they differ, so a buyer can decide which suits their circumstances.
Payment Timing at Dunearn House Compared with a Resale
A resale condominium is paid for in full at completion, usually about ten to twelve weeks after the option, with the downpayment and loan drawn at once. A new launch such as Dunearn House is paid in stages under the Progressive Payment Scheme, with 20% in the first eight weeks and the rest as construction proceeds. Interest is charged only on the loan drawn, which can suit a buyer who needs time to sell an existing home.
Lease and Specification at Dunearn House
Dunearn House’s 99-year lease began on 30 September 2025, so a buyer receives almost the full term. An older resale development will have used part of its lease, which can affect financing and CPF use. A new development also brings current standards: Dunearn House is designed to BCA Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy standards, with smart-home features and current fittings.
Waiting Time and Certainty at Dunearn House
The trade-off is time. Dunearn House’s expected vacant possession date is 31 December 2030, so a buyer must arrange housing in the meantime. A resale home can be occupied within weeks, and it can be inspected exactly as it is. A new launch is chosen from plans, show units and artist’s impressions.
Facilities and Community at Dunearn House
Older Bukit Timah developments often sit on generous plots with mature grounds. Dunearn House adds a 50m lap pool, a wellness pool, two residents’ clubs and a 35% green coverage on a newly designed site, and it will be at the start of a new estate rather than in a settled one. Which matters more is a personal judgement.
