Like to ask frs who bought condo or ec before it is stated lawyer fees is up to $2.5k to share if it includes miscellaneous fees like fax, transport, bankruptcy search and a payment to cpf solicitor? You may PM me too. Thanks cos I feel my lawyer over charge me at $4k already and may not be the end yet.

Your bank legal subsidy may be only $2.5K but the lawyer will charge more than that. It is common market rate for condo yet to TOP to accumulate legal fees of $4K or more. If the lawyer is not on CPF Board panel, charges are separate at $1K+. Note that the miscellaneous fees are estimated at $1.5K already (payable to various govt dept).
 
I thought lawyer fee for a condo purchase is quite standard, at about 2 to 3k. I heard this from some agent at a show flat. My friend who bought a resale condo last year also told me this is the approx amount. Usually, the bankers will recommend a lawyer and they will be able to tell you the approx cost

That's what I understood too. Apparently my firm agreed on $2.5k and add on with misc stuff to have a total of $4k! Just need to be careful!
