Hi, I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Hope to hear from you soon and have a great week ahead. By the way, could I have more info of your HDB detail so that I can find out about the unit value on your behalf alright? And moving forward, a HDB flat is not deemed as an asset anymore but just a roof over our head. So an EC or a private condo will be a better choice.

Dear sir/madam,

We will definitely need to examine more in details about your needs, as space of an EM in comparison to that of an EC or private condo of the price range you have mentioned can be drastically different, therefore the comfort of your family can be affected if space is something important.

In fact I did a similar run through with another family like yours, where their current HDB has just met MOP and they are assessing their options moving forward.

You have pointed out your concern on the balance lease of the EM in 5-10 years time, and if you do have a plan to sell the next unit in that time frame and hope to be able to enjoy some monetary gain from the sale, I'd strongly advise against going into that option, and for this, will you be open to consider other locations where the prospective of enjoying more significant gain in 5-10 years time is better?

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 9,400 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.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!

Dear Sir/Mdm,

Your concerns is quite common among Singaporean and many of my clients had similar considerations as well. In my opinion, if you were to purchase an EM, you will get the advantage of more space but in the future, as the lease gets shorter, potential buyers will face restrictions in taking a loan and using their CPF and therefore it will be harder to sell and the chance of you making a profit is much lower.

If your plan is to sell in the next 5 to 10 years, buying a newer condo will be more ideal as the upside is more assured. For older condos, the value may have already peaked or are on the down trend already and therefore may not be the best option.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and share with you an in depth analysis of the market so that you can understand better.

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

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients

“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)

I write to commend Nick Tan (R040814C). When my husband and I first met Nick, we were impressed by his drive, commitment, business acumen and strategical thinking, and decided to engage him. We were not disappointed. Nick sourced for prospective quality buyers in a targeted methodical fashion and was effective in connecting us with serious buyers, notwithstanding the fact that the search primarily took place over Dec – Feb (a traditional lull period). Throughout the transaction, he also gave us helpful advice in various aspects; the advice reflected his personal experience and expertise and was not simply regurgitated from public sources without any value-add. Further, Nick went beyond the call of duty of a competent professional. He had a sense of humanity in the way he interacted with myself and the other parties to the transaction such as my parents. As an example, my newborn daughter was warded into A&E on the completion date of the transaction; the care and concern that Nick showed went beyond the scope of work of an estate agent. I commend Nick for his capabilities and character, and would certainly wish to engage him for future property transactions.
Weilun & Benita (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.”

Hi,

It all depends on what's your objectives and expectations. Since you mentioned about "better investment" and that you're looking to sell the property 5-10 years down the road, then I strongly advised you to strike out the resale EM option.

This is because, 10 years later, the remaining lease of the EM would be only left with 58 years, and I seriously do not think you will stand to make any profit from this property, unless you can get it now at way below market value?

This leaves you with your remaining 2 options, the 5-year old EC and the 20-year condo. If these 2 developments are within the same location, and that their prices are similar, then it makes sense for you to go for the newer EC. However, without having a clearer idea which these 2 developments are, I think it is unfair for me to pass any judgements on their potential.

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,

Hi,
Firstly, congrats on attaining your MOP for your unit. It is good that you have upgrading plans in mind as your unit can fetch the highest price when its newly MOPed. We've successfully helped many families to make well informed decision regarding this matter to upgrade, without stretching their finances and touching their savings. Perhaps we can schedule a short meetup over coffee, so we can understand more on your situation and finances before we can propose the suitable options for you and your family. We will also cover the pros and cons on all the above options that you have listed out as well. So you can understand more before making decisions. Looking forward to hear from you soon. Please do contact me at the contact details below as i'm unable to contact you here. Thanks

Good day sir/madam.

If you buy the correct resale old condo that has high potential of enbloc , with a little bit of luck , it could be a good investment 1 or 2 decades later .

If you buy the wrong condo with no enbloc potential, such as a densely populated condo with gross floor area GFA already max up , a condo can be a expensive lifestyle choice with no investment gains .

My charges are 1% for exclusive ( sole agent ) selling rights to your property or 2 % for open listing ( as many agents as you wish ) .

As i do not have your contacts , Kindly contact me joanne chia at hp 8333 3327  for a no obligations chat for your property needs.

NO COMMISSION CHARGEABLE WHEN I SERVE PRIVATE PROPERTY BUYERS.
