The flat spans 120 sq metres and is a Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) development.

According to Shin Min Daily News, the transaction is the highest for an HDB flat in Ang Mo Kio。

An HDB flat in Block 418 AMK Avenue 10, which changed hands for S$1.2 million last year, previously held the record.

Convenient location of flat led to sale

Speaking to Shin Min Daily News, the agent who facilitated the transaction said the sellers were a couple in their 60s.

As their children now have their own families, they decided to opt for a smaller flat.

 

The flat was purchased by a family with two children, according to the agent.

He believed the flat’s convenient location was key to the transaction.

For starters, the apartment is close to schools such as Jing Shan Primary School, Anderson Secondary School, and Nanyang Polytechnic.

It is also within walking distance of AMK MRT Station, a hawker centre, a wet market, and a 24-hour supermarket.

The buyers ended up liking the location and design of the rooms so much that they offered close to the asking price.
