Lms822 2nd Gear May 1, 2019 Author Share May 1, 2019 When I bought my place, I am Glad we narrowed it down to near our parents place. In the end, we chose an estate which my Wife grew up in. So there is basically no surprises... I think good bad factors is all ok as long as you know about it before buying. Just buy a place u are familiar comfortable with. Go along with wife’s choice, never wrong ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jp66 5th Gear May 1, 2019 Share May 1, 2019 Yeah only one terrace is available for sale with relatively big land 2100 sqf TS, did you consider sprinleaf area opp Ngee Soon camp? I think there few developer units left, price point 3M-3.5M. One drawback is without built-in wardrobe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ct3833 Supersonic May 2, 2019 Share May 2, 2019 Just FYI. If I remember correctly, According to my parents faber area was a former land fill. His cousin had a bungalow there which needed to be treated for termites a few times. But this was about 30years backOne of the most common termites come from the ground, no landed could be immuned from termites except to treat or better, prevent it by getting pest control to do longer term termite treatment, still, there is no permanent solution. One chemical injection by some established pest control cost about 5k and above, they will drill holes from the wall down to the ground so that chemical could be injected down to the ground.

However if the area was an ex land fill. Problem exacerbated, no? Edited May 2, 2019 by Mkl22 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lms822 2nd Gear May 2, 2019 Author Share May 2, 2019 Based on land size .How’s about a rebuilt unit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ct3833 Supersonic May 2, 2019 Share May 2, 2019 How’s about a rebuilt unit? this is a tricky part of buying a landed. the price cannot be based on land size alone. The price of two units with similar land size side by side, one that has a rebuild area of up to say 4,000 build in area vs one that is original condition, the price will be significantly difference. And if both are rebuilt, age of the house, quality of rebuild and material used etc etc will have difference to the price of the two units as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How significant difference is considered reasonable? Simply add the cost of rebuilt, ie. $250-300 psf? Edited May 2, 2019 by Lms822 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F355 Turbocharged May 2, 2019 Share May 2, 2019 Unlike HDB or condominiums where the selling price psf is more or less the same within the same development or district , the psf (land) of landed properties is a different ball game altogether . If you do a search on URA Caveat lodged for recent transcated price of landed properties , you will find that the psf ( land) price can differ greatly , by up to 50% or some 100% . Corner terrace will command low psf because of the bigger land size . A recently rebuilt unit will cost more psf than an original unit . For buyers looking to build their own home ( quite common for landed property hunters ) , they would prefer a property where the house is almost run down so that they only pay for the land If a buyer likes the property's unit number ( maybe its his lucky number ) , he will be willing to pay more For cul de sac , some like it because its more quiet , but some superstitious will avoid because its bad fengshui Some willing to pay more because they live nearby and want to buy one for his children Some properties you check the transacted price is very low because its father change name to children and want to avoid hefty stamp duties fees Some properties look OK but no one likes because its near substation , or maybe the street lighting is facing it directly like a parang Some like to stay near amneties and eateries for convenience , some dont like because of parking or rat issues Some like to stay near nature reserves but some dont like because got monkey and snake problems . Many , many ,differents reason for varying psf price . No right no wrong , to each his own . In short , if you like it , just go for it . 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
