Questions from a Confused First-Time Home Buyer

By The Folks (guest contributor)
The wife and I came across an article in the Forum page of our de facto English newspaper (So many questions, so few answers) from a certain Mr. Tan who happens to be an enthusiastic first-time home buyer. He claimed that the numerous doubts and anomalies he had noticed after viewing several new and completed projects could not be explained clearly even by experienced real estate agents. He went on to list the questions he is stilling seeking answers to. While maintaining that we are not real estate experts (and thus not dispensing professional advice here), we like to have a crack at Mr. Tan's questions:
Back to Contents
Page | 9

SINGAPORE PROPERTY WEEKLY Issue 87 1. What constitutes part of total floor area and what does not? Technically speaking, everything that is shown on the floor plan of an apartment/house will form a part of the total floor area. The obvious ones are open roof terraces and private enclosed spaces. But areas labeled as RC ledge, A/C ledge, void, void over staircases, flat roof of houses (no access except for maintenance) etc are generally included as part of the total floor area as well. The wife and I have previously come across a new project in the Holland area (recently TOPed) where a planter box located on the outer wall of the master bathroom toilet was included as part of the total area, despite the fact that one has no access whatsoever to this planter box! The areas that generally do not constitute part of the total area are what we term common
Back to Contents

areas, e.g. the walkway outside your apartment, the lift landings (unless your apartment has a private lift, in which case the lift landing is also part of your total area) etc. 2. Is it true that unusable space constitutes 20% to 35% of a units total floor area (jumbo penthouses excluded)? Although this differs between projects, 10% to 20% of unusable space is a realistic ballpark. 3. Why are secondary market units valued at a hefty discount to primary market ones? The can be due to various factors: age and condition of the older development, pedigree of older development versus new, and in some cases, the perception of owners in the older development as to how much they can move prices of their units up vis-a-vis the price of neighboring new development.
Page | 10

SINGAPORE PROPERTY WEEKLY Issue 87 But the primary reason is due to the obscene bids that developers have made for land parcels over the last two to three years, coupled with increase in construction costs. As such, their break-even price is much higher now resulting in higher selling prices for new projects. 4. Can small office, home office (SOHO) units with commercial titles like those at Southbank and The Central be purchased for residential use? Is office-cumresidential use allowed? This is best explained by URA on their website, which has this to say: Increasingly, we are seeing more developments marketed as SOHO in the property market. SOHO is essentially a marketing term used by property developments to refer to Small Office, Home
Back to Contents

Office. Many would-be buyers are unsure whether SOHO units are approved for office or home use, or both. URA does not recognize SOHO as a planning term and does not specifically approve a development for SOHO use. Rather, developments being marketed as SOHO today are approved either as Office or Residential but not for both uses. We have noticed that some office developments are being marketed as residential apartments by calling themselves SOHO. This is misleading and inappropriate as the office development may not fully meet the guidelines and various technical agencies requirements for Residential use (eg. provision of sufficient parking facilities). Similarly, home buyers should not be misled by the term SOHO to think that they can convert the residential unit to a pure office.
Page | 11

SINGAPORE PROPERTY WEEKLY Issue 87 Residential homeowners or tenants who want to conduct selected small-scale businesses from homes can make use of the existing Home Office Scheme. This is not to be confused with SOHO as these units under the Home Office Scheme are still approved and used primarily for Residential purposes. To ensure that the home office uses do not disturb the neighbors, applicants under the Home Office Scheme must meet the stipulated conditions and performance criteria. For example, there is a limit on the number of employees and type of business uses that can be conducted within the homes. More details on the Home Office Scheme can be found at http://edanet.ura.gov.sg/dcd/homeoffice/HOM ainPage/HOindex.jsp. Would-be property buyers should be cautious and are advised to check the approved use of

5. Some formerly freehold estates that went en bloc are now being sold as new 99-year leasehold condos. Are there any implications to buyers - legal or otherwise? We are talking about the likes of The Shore Residences in Katong (formerly Rose Garden), which is sold on a 103-year lease but resides on a freehold site. Realistically speaking, this is no difference to buying a leasehold property. The only major implication to buyers (that the wife and I can think of) is that, at the end of the 103-year lease, the land owner can rightfully take back the land and do whatever with it as they please, with the buyers/owners having little/no recourse.
Page | 12

SINGAPORE PROPERTY WEEKLY Issue 87 6. Why are new developments prohibited from enclosing balconies and having covered structures built on top of open roof terraces whereas old estates aren't? are used interchangeably these days to mean one and the same thing. However, Gross Floor Area is typically referred to in formal and legal documents while Strata Floor Area is used when determining share-values of the unit concerned. 8. Why is photography disallowed in showflats? This question is best left to the developers, but we reckon they do not want people to just go to their showflats to steal ideas without the slightest intention of buying. There you have it! So if Mr. Tan happens to read our blog, hope the above helped in some small ways towards explaining your numerous doubts and anomalies... By The Folks, who blog about Singapore property at SG PropTalk.

This has to do with not changing the facade of the estate. Imagine what a brand new development will look like if every owner decides to have their own way with their balconies and roof terraces? So a rule is generally put in place at new developments prohibiting any additions/alterations that will alter the facade of the estate. But these rules will generally be relaxed as the estate gets older, although we are unsure if there is a stipulated number of years before this happens.
7. What is the difference between unit size, gross floor area and strata floor area? This is one that we are not exactly sure (so we stand corrected) but we believe the terms

Other developments which had a quiet weekend at their showflats include the 52-unit SeaSuites and 148-unit Village along Pasir Panjang.

While sales volume is expected to fall, it is expected to recover a little the next month as potential buyers might start buying in their childs name. (Source: Business Times) Private home sales and prices to fall Following the latest round of cooling measures, analysts have predicted a fall in transaction volumes ranging from 20 to 50% to 10,000 units in 2013 while prices fall by 510%. Investment demand and the massmarket is likely to be affected the most, and resale transactions is likely to fall by 30-50%

SINGAPORE PROPERTY WEEKLY Issue 87 from 10,000 units per year as owners hold on to their property if they have more than one to avoid incurring the ABSD when they purchase another. Further, the luxury property market is likely to suffer as a further 5% ABSD is imposed on foreigners (bringing it to 15%) who make up 30% of the buyers. Some thought this unnecessary since the foreign non-PR purchases had accounted for 7% of the transactions in each quarter in 2012 and below 10% of the transactions involving properties priced below $1,670 psf. Given the low interest rates, it is likely that more cooling measures will be introduced.

second and subsequent homes, increased ABSD and lowered LTV limits for individuals with outstanding housing loans may result in less demand for private homes and possibly an increase in demand in the rental market since potential buyers affected by the new measures may choose to rent instead. However, most analysts do not expect an increase in rentals but instead, a stabilisation. The HDB rental market, on the other hand, may see an increase by 3% since PR owners are now disallowed from subletting the entire flat leading to a smaller supply. (Source: Business Times) Developers go ahead without change in plans It would seem that most developers planning to launch their projects would continue to do so without changes in dates and pricing while

SINGAPORE PROPERTY WEEKLY Issue 87 developers who have recently launched their projects also have no intention of changing their prices yet. For example, prices in the 46unit Liberte in Sarkies Road still start at $1.8 million for a 743 sq ft two-bedroom apartment. In the last round of cooling measures, developers had offered incentives such as furniture vouchers and reimbursements. However, these incentives have yet to been seen as possibly many are still uncertain of what to expect. Some, such as the 630-unit Q Bay Residences in Tampines Avenue 10, may see a 5-7 % fall in prices to below $1,000 psf.

16,292 units. However, this is unlikely to be seen now following the recent cooling measures. This can already be seen in the proportion of sales OCR accounted for in December, 640 of the 1,410 units or 44%, compared to the earlier monthly average of 1,441 units or 75% of the total in January to November 2012. Likewise, only 25% or 248 of the 1,011 private homes excluding ECs launched in December were in the OCR, compared to the earlier monthly average of 1,355 units and 66% from January to November. A total of 21,487 private homes (excluding ECs) were launched in 2012, a 21.3% increase from 2011. 4,521 ECs were also sold last year, a 56.8% increase from 2011. Looking ahead, a price fall of up to 5% and 57% is expected in the mid and mass-market segments,

(Source: Business Times) Land bids expected to fall The latest round of cooling measures includes an increase in ABSD, lower LTV limits and higher cash downpayment; these will result in a reduced demand for residential property. In addition, by including private enclosed spaces (PES) and private roof terraces (PRT) in the 10% bonus GFA of which development charges are payable, the saleable strata area will fall by 4-5%, leading to a corresponding 5% fall in land prices. This change in guideline will affect low-rise sites the most. Developers demand for large sites is also likely to fall as a result of the increase in the ABSD rate residential land purchases

from 10% to 15%. In particular, there is likely to be a fall in overall sales of residential en bloc sites since developers less willing to pay more and owners may be reluctant to lower their asking price. (Source: Business Times) Q Bay Residences launched at $985 psf ppr 630-unit Q Bay Residences at the junction of Tampines Avenue 1 and Tampines Avenue 10, the first private condominium launched in 2013, was launched at an average of $985 psf ppr, a 7% fall from the planned $1,050 psf ppr following the introduction of the new property cooling measures. This meant that a 527 sq ft one-bedroom unit and a 1,981 sq ft five-bedroom unit will cost $525,000 and $1.7 million respectively after a 15% early bird discount and a 7% stamp duty discount,
Page | 18

SINGAPORE PROPERTY WEEKLY Issue 87 which can either be taken upfront or as a rebate. Despite the cooling measures, demand for Q Bay Residences is expected to remain strong given the fact that it is the first condominium to be launched in Tampines in the last two years, and its wide range of unit configurations (11 different types; from one bedroom, two bedroom, Trio to four bedroom verandah units). Looking ahead, transaction volumes are expected to fall by 20-25% this year especially with the increase in ABSD rates, accompanied by a 5-7% fall in prices for mass and mid-tier condos and a 10-15% fall in prices of higher-end condos. PRs are also expected to demand more private property rather than HDB flats. (Source: Business Times) Slow showflat sales at Q Bay Residences Only 214 of the 400 people at Q Bay Residences preview launched bought a unit at the private condominium project, much smaller than the expected 300 had the latest round of cooling measures not be introduced. Nevertheless, there are potential buyers who may return after sorting out financing issues brought on by the new loan restrictions. While demand for one to two-bedroom units expected to fall, given that such units are usually bought for investment, they made up 46% of the 214 units sold. The strong demand may be a result of the lack of new condominium in the Tampines area for a few years, and the pool of buyers who are likely upgraders less affected by the latest round of cooling measures.
