Good morning, I would have some informations about renting a flat in Singapour. Indeed I may be expat from my company but I may take a personal lease : - How much is the stamp duty for a flat between S$3000 & S$ 4000 ? should it be paid only once or every year ? - How much is your agency commission ? - How much is the average monthly maintenance charge (for a rent max S$4000)? - Most of your proposals for renting are partially or fully furnished ? When it is fully furnished, is there a percentage of lease in the rent ? or any special tax ? Thanks a lot & regards, Elodie P.

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?

I am an expat and I am not familiar with freehold v 99 year lease. What are the pros and cons of a 99 year lease?

Hi, We are going to relocate in Singapore beginning of August (probably for 10 years). We are studying the possibilities of purchasing a 2 or 3 bedroom appartment in Dover or nearby, with a maximum budget of 700,000 Sing dollars if we can get a 80% mortgage. 1)Is it possible to find any freehold or 999 years flat at this price? 2) On the other hand, if we buy a 15-year old or more flat with a 99-year lease,does it mean there is only 84 years or less left on it, and where would that leave us if we want to resell in another 10 years? Would the sale still enable us to refund the rest of the loan, or would the flat have depreciated too much because of the few remaining years? Thanks for your comments.

I wish to ask, if the agent's commission has recently been revised? Previously it was 50% for rental, now has that increased? Also, is it illegal for an HDB owner to rent out their flat and not register the lease with HDB? Thank you.

I had rented out my 5 room flat since Oct 2007 for a year, to a company, which employs foreign IT professionals. The thing is, I have only met one of the occupiers and saw the work permit (photocopy) of the other two occupiers. Moreover,in the lease contract, it was stated that I have to respect the privacy of the tenants thus I'm not suppose to spring a surprise visit on them. However, as this is the first time I'm renting out property, I feel very insecure that I do not meet the tenants or check that my property is well maintained. I'm wondering if in the upcoming lease renewal, can I include in the contract that I get to meet the tenants on a quarterly basis and verify their employment pass. (esp since there is turnover of occupiers staying there. ) Pls kindly advise. thks!
