5 Cons Of Buying A Resale Property

Posted by Jayson Ang on March 7, 2024

Luxury properties in Districts 9 and 10 of Singapore are highly coveted, and for good reason. From stunning views and prime locations, to top-notch amenities and an affluent lifestyle, there are many reasons to consider investing in a luxury property in these districts. However, when it comes to choosing between a new development and a resale, there are pros and cons to consider. In today’s episode, we’ll delve into the five key cons of buying a resale development in Districts 9 and 10, to help you make an informed decision.

  1. Older amenities: Resale properties may have older or outdated amenities that need to be updated or replaced, which in turn will incur more costs for the residents to maintain. Potential viewers might also be put off by the old design therefore reducing demand
  2. Lower Balance Lease : Unless it is Freehold, Leasehold property tend to depreciate once it reaches the 30 years mark as the lower remaining lease may affect future buyers from apply bank loans, therefore affecting their purchasing power, limiting future pool of potential buyers
  3. Maintenance concerns: Resale properties may require more maintenance and repairs than new developments, which will incur higher monthly maintenance fee
  4. Hidden issues: Resale properties may have hidden issues that are not immediately apparent, such as structural problems or outdated systems. Depending on the items, replacing them can be very costly.
  5. Potentially lower appreciation rate: Some resale properties may not appreciate as quickly as new developments because there are newer developments that may be taking the demand from the older properties in surrounding area

Hello, 大家好!

今天在五新房产我们要跟你分享在新加坡购买转售房产的 5 个缺点。

1. 设施陈旧:转售物业可能有陈旧或过时的设施需要更新或更换,这反过来又会给买家带来更多的维护成本。 买也可能会被旧设计推迟,从而减少需求。

2. 较低的余额租赁:除非是永久产权,否则租赁财产一旦达到 30 年大关就会贬值,因为较低的剩余租赁可能会影响未来买家申请银行贷款,从而影响他们的购买力,限制未来的潜在买家群体。

3.维护问题:转售物业可能需要比新开发项目更多的维护和维修,这将产生更高的每月维护费用。

4. 隐藏问题:转售物业可能存在无法立即显现的隐藏问题,例如结构问题或过时的系统。 根据物品的不同,更换它们可能会非常昂贵。

5. 可能会降低升值率:一些转售物业的升值速度可能不如新开发项目,因为较新的开发项目可能会占用周边地区旧物业的需求。
