Hi,

It really depends on your objectives and plan going forward.

For old condos like Neptune Court and Laguna Park, the advantage Buyers look at would no doubt be the potential of enbloc. However, with the current enbloc cycle as good as dead, the potential of enbloc will likely not happen until the next cycle comes about.

One question you will have to ask yourself, are you prepared to hold for 10 years and beyond should you get a unit there?

I am experienced and well-versed in both private and HDB resale transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require 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 in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen

Hi Raj,

Are you planning to shift into the apartment after purchase? Typically, purchasers for the projects you have specifically mentioned are looking for space within the apartment, as newer projects tend to be at most 60-70% of the size these projects offer. Any collective sale potential moving ahead will definitely be a bonus for these purchasers.

Another group of purchasers will be more interested in purchasing these projects and holding on to them for potential collective sale as these projects have higher potentials when it comes to collective sale, due to the existing potential for the plot of land the projects are sitting on, where developers can either intensify the usage of land, build higher or both, making it attractive for developers to put in their bids and the owners of the project can stand to gain potentially as the price developers are willing to pay will usually be more than what it can fetch typically in a resale market. The key considerations will be the rentability of these units as they are considered older apartments with outdated facilities which are less attractive to prospective tenants, and cases of water seepage and etc will potentially mean owners may need to pay more for maintenance fees.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 10years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 8,500 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my clients’ portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

Please feel free to reach me from my website www.geryllim.com or connect with me directly on my mobile phone at 81577565  .

I look very much to hear from you soon.

Hi Mr Raj,
Thank you for your reply!
I believe you’re in midst of considering several condominiums in view of own stay and investment purposes.

Let’s tackle this through step by step.
There are many factors to asses when picking the right development - location? amenities? accessibility? future capital gain %? Rentability?

Let me share with you some transaction caveats and history of sales in the given developments and surrounding developments for you to have a better outlook on the investment scene.

Perhaps you can contact me at 96659926  for a short discussion for me to run you through the overview of the purchase framework, understand your requirements and specifications as well as calculate your finances on hand (Cash/CPF amalgamation) to construct a financial plan with payment timeline. Based on your investment objectives and protected returns in mind, I will be able to narrow down ideal developments and shortlist exact unit layout type for your perusal. I have actively transacted many private properties (testimonials available on website) and since you may be unfamiliar with the process, you might want to tap onto advise and guidance in this regards, at no obligation of course. I will walk you through the entire process from selecting developments/ arranging viewings, handling bank/finance aspect, arrange for your legal processing matters as well as handle all paperwork at no cost. The purchase of private property does not involve agent fees and thus, you will enjoy expertise at every level at no obligation and cost. Furthermore, I will take the opportunity to run you through past and present transaction caveat & illustrate a pricing and sales report with projected returns/ capital gains for you to observe and understand, offering market insights for your consideration. Thank You!
