Good day to you,
If you're considering purchasing landed property in Singapore, it's important to be aware of several key factors to ensure a smooth process and a wise investment. Here are some constructive pointers to guide you:
1) Begin by verifying the property's zoning and maximum allowable building height. This will help you align the property with your future plans and aspirations.
2) Pay attention to the lease status, as it can influence your loan-to-value ratio and financing options, allowing you to make informed financial decisions.
3) Conduct a thorough inspection for signs of foundation issues, such as cracks or misaligned walls, doors, and window frames. Addressing these early can prevent more significant problems down the line.
4) Examine the roof for any signs of leaks, as addressing these promptly can save you from costly water damage in the future.
5) Consider parking availability, especially if the property is near schools, places of worship, or during festive seasons. Planning ahead can alleviate potential hassles.
6) Be proactive about pest control by assessing the property for potential issues with termites, roaches, rodents, or even wild animals like snakes and monkeys. Early detection can reduce management costs.
7) Finally, evaluate the security of the area, particularly in quieter and more serene neighborhoods. A safe environment contributes greatly to your overall living experience.
By keeping these considerations in mind, you can make a more informed and confident decision when purchasing landed property in Singapore.
Navigate Property Decisions with Confidence
With over 15 years of experience in Singapore's residential property sales and purchase (S&P) cases, I understand the complexities involved in the process. I aim to guide you every step of the way with clear communication, ensuring that all parties are legally represented and protected.

To be fair, we can talk about all the factors you should avoid altogether but you may realise after avoiding all these factors, you may have left with no suitable units to even consider, and then 1 year down the road, realise that whatever you could afford initially have all appreciated in their value to leave you with a smaller plot or a less desirable locations.
Landed homes are unlike condo and apartments where you have good supply line, or if the unit of level 10 is no longer available, you can look for lower levels or higher levels, or perhaps another stack. There is only about 70k+ landed homes in Singapore, of which these includes strata landed and leasehold landed (including those with less than 10 years lease).
From my last 15 years of experience dealing primarily with landed homes, the most important thing a buyer need to do is to get onto the ground and start viewing the houses available based on the comfortable price range to see what are the options available, and most importantly understand the ground prices before you start eliminating options, or compromise on certain aspects if there is no suitable options.
At Landed7772, we have been dealing with landed homes over the last 20 years in Singapore and with our existing inventory of over 200 landed listings, there is likely something that is suitable for what you need, including sniffing out on any unauthorised works and etc along the way.
——
I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 years 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 15,900 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's 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.

When purchasing a landed property in Singapore, here are key things to avoid to ensure a smooth and informed decision:
1. **Ignoring Location**: Avoid choosing a location without considering factors like accessibility, nearby amenities, schools, and future development plans. A poor location can affect both livability and resale value.
2. **Overlooking Legal Restrictions**: Be aware of zoning laws, building height limits, and conservation guidelines. Ignoring these can lead to costly renovations or legal issues.
3. **Skipping Due Diligence**: Avoid skipping a thorough inspection of the property. Check for structural issues, pest infestations, or hidden defects that could result in expensive repairs later.
4. **Underestimating Costs**: Don’t overlook additional expenses like property taxes, maintenance, renovation costs, and potential land lease top-ups (for leasehold properties). Budget wisely to avoid financial strain.
5. **Neglecting Neighbourhood Dynamics**: Avoid ignoring the surrounding environment. Research the neighbourhood’s noise levels, traffic conditions, and community vibe to ensure it aligns with your lifestyle.
6. **Rushing the Decision**: Avoid making hasty decisions. Take time to compare properties, understand market trends, and consult professionals like real estate agents or lawyers.
7. **Ignoring Resale Potential**: Even if it’s your dream home, consider its resale value. Avoid properties with limited appeal or those in declining areas.
