Would you prefer to buy a landed property or condominium?
State your preference and reasons?

Depends on budget la I guess...

Landed
- don't have to pay monthly maintenance to MC.

Condo or service residence.... Less.pest, less noise, less cleanup of the house......

Most service residences has parks pools gym etc.....which to me is all in one ...matter of taking the lift to the desired floor


Most importantly...security is there ....so there is some peace of mind as well

Landed because I like bigger space and no need to wait lift.

Yes. It is like renting own house and the rental is increasing from time to time. You still have to pay AssessmenFee, right? t

problem is when the lift breaks down and you live in the highest floor.

This statement doesn’t apply if u stay in a strata landed property though

its depends....if you want closure to food and walking to super...sure is high rise. If you want big land big space...landed...

indeed, nowadays landed also guarded so also need to pay maintenance..

I would prefer landed if i can afford to buy at the location that i wanted.

yup - all budget dependent

either:

1) near but expensive for new landed
2) cheaper but further for new landed
3) near but small for highrise
4) far but cheap for highrise

unless you for for subsale .... or perhaps lelong unit?

all budget dependent & the location...

Landed with Individual Title, best if you're not facing another house with more some public land to place your cars and maybe do some small gardening

U meam end lot or corner with cul de sac design??

I ll pick strata landed, more secure feelings than indvidual title and more controlled environment... Less disturbance than highrise..

never ending question

Not really, the best imo are intermediate house which have "free" land like those facing the secondary street (not primary where mainly cars drive by). Usually found at the edge of a housing area, the residence would utilize the "perimeter green belt" for their own horticulture activities or just for more parking areas for themselves instead of parking in front of the gate.

But of course not all green belt are the same, some developers are quite generous, and some are non-usable and are known to be just "passive green"

Living : Standard individual title landed house in a gated & guarded environment.

Investment : Individual titled freehold landed house, 1 storey terrace, 2 storey terrace 22x75, 2 storey semi-d are my favored ones.

They hold their value the best and even in the current downturn you can't find one that is a bargain to buy.

Before buy, rent a condo and then rent a landed property and see whether this fit your lifestyle & requirement before making bigger investment. Don’t worry about price pickup as current market sentiment is very weak & diving further. But if your decision is for rental profit then your selection criteria will be different than above mentioned suggestion.
