SOHO under HDA cant have commercial activities ?

i took the liberty to find it out for you. Just look at the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 2007 section 3A and then you will understand why.

SOHOs are properties with commercial titles, but are also afforded legal protection from the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) (Amendment) Act 2007 (HDA).

The Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 1966 Section 3A basically states that the minister may “from time to time, by order published in the Gazette, prescribe any type of accommodation to be a housing accommodation. In the event of any doubt as to whether a housing accommodation falls within the meaning of this Act, the Minister’s decision shall be final and shall not be questioned in any court”.

In addition to this, according to Section 3 of the Act ‘housing accommodation,’ “includes any building, tenement or messuage which is wholly or principally constructed, adapted or intended for human habitation, or partly for human habitation and partly for business premises and such other type of accommodation as may be prescribed by the Minister from time to time to be a housing accommodation pursuant to section 3A.”

This means that should the SOHO is used for accommodation then it will indeed fall into HDA, the examples that you mentioned is meant for the SOHO to use as office premises and workplace more than a full fledge residential hence these SOHO are not entitled to be included in HDA.

to invest in SOHO , SOFO, SOVO really depend on location. otherwise difficult to rent out or flip.
