Landed homes have much weaker rental return and lower liquidity due to their bigger quantums, but you are right that they have better capital appreciation in the long run, therefore if you are intending to go for the long game, it should be the type you should look into. Indeed, cluster landed tend to attract more tenants, however, the maintenance costs is something you should really look into as most projects have hefty maintenance costs especially for the older projects, when things start to breakdown and etc.

I have been assisting clients to restructure their portfolio from strata assets to landed assets as I am working very closely with a department of landed consultants as well as a network of international clients, where there is strong foreign interest in local projects while the high net worth locals are putting their bucks into the landed segment.

Maybe we can have a quick chat and understand how you can restructure your existing assets to give you the optimum returns in time to come?

Hi there,

Thank you for your query!
Without a doubt, I always advise all my investor clients to invest in private condominium instead of landed, for you receive almost similar rental yield for a lower quantum. Now you may be frazzled with these questions - Freehold or leasehold? New launches or resale?
For investment , of course location plays a huge part in consideration. But above and beyond we cannot negate the other factors - the amenities (distance to amenities), accessibility (how well connected the development is to town/ MRT etc), rentability (depending on development and unit itself) etc. The real returns of your investment solely depends on the quantum you're investing and your investment objectives (projection in mind)

To be able to guide you ,I would require more details on your end (preferences + finances on hand) , to understand your investment objectives (capital appreciation and rental yield in mind) as well as churn out a through financial report after some calculations. Based on the inputs and financial breakdown with progressive payment, I will narrow down the high yield potential properties and exact units to consider. Furthermore , I have a complete reel of data(no available to public) that is able to show complete price transaction caveats of each and every development in Singapore / profile of buyers (to aid factoring in BSD/ABSD costs into purchase price) as well as projected returns and capital appreciation in the future.

Dear Sir/Mdm,

In my opinion, a freehold landed property is a better investment option as compared to a cluster house in terms of capital appreciation. However, in terms of rental yields, a landed property has much lower rental yields as compared to non landed residential properties, commercial and industrial properties.

Therefore, as a longer term strategy, it will be ideal if you can use the landed property for own stay while you wait for the capital appreciation.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and provide you with further assistance!

I was featured recently on Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) Newsletter:

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients (2016/2017)
“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”

Peter & Wendy (Property Seller)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations.
We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”
Susana (Buyer)

“Nick is very pro-active in helping us to resolve whatever questions and problems that we encountered. All the issues are settled even before us having to request or ask for a second time. He was very frank and transparent with all the details, limitations and advantages that we wouldn’t have known. I think this is the most important virtue to be successful in this line. I will surely recommend him to anyone who needs his service because I trust that they will be equally satisfied!!”

Hi,

In terms of rental yield and popularity, I would say a cluster landed would enjoy slightly better rental returns when compared to a standalone landed property.

However, both cluster house and landed rental yield would likely be lower than condo.

If you are keen to purchase a landed for future capital appreciation, I would suggest you to use it for your own stay, while you rent out your condos for higher yield.

This way, you minimize the wear and tear of your landed property by the Tenants as well, as I believe as an owner, you will take better care of your house than the Tenant.

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,

Good day sir / madam .

As all the agents have mentioned, rental yield for landed is the lowest but it is offset by possibly highest capital gains . In rare circumstances , freehold condo or freehold cluster house capital gains can match or even surpassed landed property if there is a enbloc sale , notably landed property has the lowest enbloc potential though not impossible . Landed property can be enbloc but extremely difficult because 100 per cent consensus among a stretch of landed house owners is required .

Kindly contact me for a no obligations chat for your property needs.

My charges are 1% commission for exclusive ( sole agent ) selling rights to your condos , or 2% for open istings ( many agents ) .

No commission chargeable when i serve private property buyers.
