Hi Mr Ang,

Thank you for your query!
Both are city fringe projects with great surrounding amenities, excellent connectivity and accessibility , not forgetting potential capital gains and lucrative rental yield. Where words suffices, let the data do the talking. Perhaps what you can do at this moment , is to work with a specialise of your choice and understand more on the transaction history, & appreciation scope/ rental yield and learn more on the market insights.

Perhaps you could contact me for a preliminary non obligatory discussion for me to understand more on your preference and investment objectives and thus, share more on transactions caveats and furnish you with CUSTOMISED SALES REPORT tailed made for you, for your understanding and comparison between the choices to ascertain which is truly better by the hairline. I have a real live feed data app which is able to help me guide my investors as to which property is - undervalued ? over valued? It shows projected high capital returns/ rental yield for the forthcoming years. With this set of data which not many specialist posses coupled with my years of experience, I believe I will be able to guide you to a mutual decision to enhance your property portfolio. I will usually share about the property outlook with my clients and tailor make a plan that suits best for them in years to come. Thank You!

Hi Mr. Ang,

Personally feel Venue Residences is a relatively safer pick and has more resale potential due to good schools nearby, better connectivity, more amenities and likely more upgrader demand. Then again its leasehold vs freehold project, not really apple to apple comparison. May I know what considerations led you to these two projects? Btw, I believe both developer sale units in both projects are fully sold, you are considering buying from the 1st owner?

May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Hi Donald, for these 2 projects, can I ask do you have the intention to rent it out one day too? Before I comment further. Have a good holiday.

Hi Donald, in general Cityscape (freehold) should retain value better than The Venue (leasehold ), however there are other factors to consider to determine which is a better option for you. Do contact me at 97970200  to discuss more

Dear Donald,

To be frank, a 20years timeline is not easy to forecast as it is likely to have gone through at least 1 or 2 cycles, therefore the easy option for us to advise is definitely to go for the freehold option.

As both projects are relatively new in comparison of age, it is premature to determine how much potential it has in terms of collective sale as both developers would have already maxed out the development potential. It will greatly rely on the revision in future master plan revisions, since the number of units of these projects are similar. The Venue is likely in a better position in terms of attracting developers based on existing infrastructure set up, being close to 2 major expressways over the location of Cityscape.

My suggestion is to look into the intangible factors for your family in the decision making process as I believe that staying near in laws where they can help in looking after the children or taking care of the household will have great impact on your convenience, especially if your scope of work involves frequent travels or last minute notification to be activated to work.

Hi,

20 years is a long time in real estate. I would say in 20 years time, it is likely that the prices will appreciate for both the developments.

If you were to compare in terms of value retention, then a Freehold property will retain its value better than its Leasehold counterpart, especially during times of recession.

However, since you're purchasing for your own stay, I think what matters most are other factors, which may include:
1) proximity to places of work
2) convenience for your family
3) amenities surrounding your home
4) space and layout of the house.

The above takes into account your Time, Convenience and Comfort, which cannot be measured by Money.

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you and your partner in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
