Can the son of the house owner act as an agent and take agent fees from the tenant? If we are unable to complete the contract of the tenancy, are the owners justified in not returning our deposit? The contract doesnt specify anything.

Is Land-Titles Landed Property based on land area as per transaction shown by URA & SLA? Is Strata-Titles Cluster Houses based on built-up or built-in area as shown by URA & SLA? Why it was not properly address to those 1st-Time buyer of Land-Titles Landed Property after they end up sueing the developer which had been a few cases?

I have someone recently bought a FH Land-Title Landed property of land size 1705sqft. It is a 2-Sty terrace house with an attic & a basement. The total built-up area of this so called 4-Sty terrace is 3559sqft in D13. The price tag is S$2,238.000 which translated into S$1313psf but the agent told him it is S$629psf. My understanding is land title landed property is based on land area which is S$1313psf unless it is strata-title cluster house then it will be S$629psf. Anyway, quite a few had transacted at S$1313psf which mean it is boasting D13 area. Secondly, someone bought a terrace house at D19. Same, 2-Sty with attic & basement. Land area 1614sqft & built-up area 3238sqft, transacted at S2,200,000. It translate into S$1363psf instead of agent told her it is S$679psf. What is your take regarding the above issue, D13 senette estate at city fringe & vibriant D19 at serangoon garden?

Think back, 30-40yrs back, a 20000sqft detached house in Nassim road costs S$80K-S$90K, but at current situation, it costs min S$20M. So, what is the percentage of return? Imagine, if you buy say a 99yrs super high end condo at S$29M for say 5178sqft which translate into S$5600psf. Usually, before it T.O.P, it takes 2-3yrs. So minus the remaining lease it is about 96yrs lease from T.O.P, what is the upside of this super high end condo? Assuming the ultra rich owner never sell, per year basis, it depreciate by S$302K, wow ! it is a lot like deprciating a 4rm flat on per yr basis. But if you buy say a S$20M 20000sqft detached in cluny park, what is the upside. To me, to appreciate to S$30M is within reach given the fact that a FH Land-Title Landed property own this piece of 20000sqft land whereas Strata-Title FH condo does not own any land except it merely share the land with its neighbour, be it very exclusive 35 tenants or not so exclusive 2000 tenants? What is your comment?
