Mr
I currently reside in Green Lodge on rent. Although I like it, it's not worth anything above 3,500/month. There are a few units that have been empty for several months as owners were hoping for 4,000+. For this old condo all I can say is that's just greed. Not worth more than 2.9K (unrenovated) ~ 3.3 K (renovated). I know my neighbor's rentals and that's the real rates. Don't be fooled and become a sucker. -

Replacement Property Is Hard After Enbloc
This old condo has a plot ratio of 1.4 and there will be development charges levied upon it if it goes enbloc. It is going to be hard to go enbloc as the residents will not be a ble to find similar replacement properties wilh the enbloc sale proceed given its poor enbloc value. The best option now is for estate upgrading. that will make the property more rentable and forget about enbloc as there are no takers in the previous execercis -

Green Lodge
Overall impression: I like Green Lodge. Tempted to just give it a low rating so no one will pay any attention to it. Anyway, that will be futile now as prices are already on the way up. Interior: (4/5) The units are largely similar in lay-out with the bigger units having a garden. These are the ground floor units. Personally prefer the smaller ones as share value is the same and I am not a garden person. Rooms are easy to decorate with no awkward corner. Exterior: (4/5) Exterior looks dated and can do with a new coat of paint. This is likely given that the en-bloc exercise was unsuccessful. Otherwise, interesting architecture. Slight elevation reduces risk of flooding. Facilities: (4/5) Has most of the basic stuff. Swimming pool, tennis court, squash court, small club house, BBQ pit. Ample parking space, some with full shelter. Can do with a gym. Bonus given for lifts - rare for a 4-storey building. Transport links: (4/5) Near to future MRT. For drivers, near to PIE and AYE. You can also go to town on bus number 77. Amenities: (5/5) Great selection of food around the area. Ranging from a popular French restaurant to local fair. MANY coffee shops around the area. Near market as well as grocery store. Near ATM, petrol kiosk. Near schools. Near greenery (nature reserve). Management: (4/5) Managed by Chambers International. -

old condos
Their enbloc price asking are in $1.5m to $1.58m range. At these prices, there are no takers. Only a few bidders offering way below the asking prices. Understand, the price is 40% above market prices. Yet the sellers here want to sell at enbloc prices. What abt stamp duty ? The condo is very old; no rental value and old limited facilities. -
