Singapore hasn’t been the best place for
property investors over the past couple
of years; at the same time, Singaporeans
have become the largest investors in overseas
properties. Last year they invested a whopping
US$11.9 billion, according to one report.
What’s more, this has once again been voted
the most expensive country in the world to
live in. So if you’re looking for good value for
your investment dollar, do see our overseas
property listings (at expatrealtor.net). We have
some exciting investment properties, and a
new kid on the block by way of Grove House
in Manchester, England, as well as further
opportunities coming soon.
It’s refreshing to see old properties being
saved from destruction and given a new lease
on life through renovations and refits. A couple of
developers in Singapore (Far East Organisation,
for one) have done this – for example, with
The Cairnhill and Nassim Regency. This saves
valuable resources and at the same time
preserves the precious history of this relatively
young city.
With the oversupply of rental properties,
tenants continue to enjoy taking their pick, and
landlords are having to resign themselves to a
longer-than-normal downturn in rental yield. Now
is the time for landlords to update their properties
and keep them competitive.
Enjoy living in this rare and
lovely ground-floor corner
unit on the luxurious island
of Sentosa. Surrounded by
greenery, it has spacious and
bright rooms, including a living
room and large balcony that
both have a pool view and a
peaceful outlook.
