“Lease decay” is the buzzword that never seems to go away. On the HDB end of things, it leads to constant complaints that you “don’t really own your flat”. In Singapore’s private property market, it leads to comments like “*99-year lease and so old? You may as well buy HDB”.*
And yet, even a brief glance at URA records will reveal there are buyers; there’s interest even in condos dating back to the ‘70s and ‘80s. Perhaps more surprisingly, some of the buyers aren’t’ always owner-occupiers. This leads to the question of *why*: what investment value is there, in older condos?
Here are 5 reasons why an older condo can still be a good investment:
- They could have higher rentability
- Rental yields tend to be on the high side
- Freehold condos mitigate some of the worst aspects of age
- There could be recent upgrades to the area
- En-bloc sale is a good possibility

It seems that younger buyers tend to prefer leasehold condo no older than 10 years than older freehold apartments/condo between 20 and 30 years in the same district even when the older ones are cheaper psf. Why?

Many are actually trying to rent further from the city center because of overcrowding in the city and the lack of greenery. What renters are asking these past 5 years: 5 minute walk to MRT, whole unit, 4-room HDB, near to a water body, major track for running, greenery, near to swimming pool and gym or sports hall, polyclinic and mall. So places like Sembawang are greatly sought nowadays for being near the beach, etc. 30 minutes train to Orchard, 13 minutes Uber to Malaysia checkpoint for the weekends.

Condominium units and owners are also good when it comes to the shelf life of the condominium, since each owner knows the functions of a building administrator(s) that makes the certainties amongst its owners in order to remove/restore and repair the idle units waiting to be cleaned. The flats can be integrated altogether with the ones designed for businesses and tgw other one designed for residential areas... it is to cooperate and coordinate with the measures, designed to make these buildings and structures safe by its yearly unit owners association fees for repairs/contribution as well as collection in order to expand the shelf life of the building(s) while necessary papers are to be secured in order to protect the land (TCT) up to date and not late from any real estate tax, yearly reports to the local government and safety, geodetic, electrical, chemical engineering reports/documentation.

Hi, what do you think on those HDB at East Coast Park which were built in 1970s? I do like that location but as a young buyer below 30s, I do have some concerns about getting such an old unit

@StackedHomes 2 жыл бұрын

Hey! When it comes to old units here, we do think it's best to stay away if you are young and are concerned about capital losses. However, if the value of the home is not much of a concern, then that's okay though I would think carefully since it can really affect your ability to purchase another home that you like when it comes to upgrading later on.

Old but due to its reputation, its only good for renting and enbloc if possible. But for reselling, price are dampened due to its reputation.

What’s your opinion of valley park and any en bloc potential?

@StackedHomes 2 жыл бұрын

Considering the size of the development and existing price, we think that developers would have to take on a lot of risk so we do not think the en bloc potential is high. That said, we can't say for sure either!

Is $1400 psf for freehold cavenagh garden a good investment for enbloc?

@StackedHomes 2 жыл бұрын

We aren't very positive about Cavenagh Gardens for en bloc considering the area's height restriction. The ground isn't flat and it's next to the CTE - there may be implications when digging underground. You can look at Waterscape at Cavenagh's sales performance as well which did not do well - www.straitstimes.com/business/property/hiap-hoe-to-offload-unsold-units-of-waterscape-cavenagh-to-parent-to-relieve-qc That development recorded more unprofitable transactions than profitable ones. For these reasons, it's not very encouraging to developers to make the purchase. While it's old, freehold and in a central location, this is just a generalisation but in Cavenagh Gardens case, there are these unique factors to consider as well.
