Investor or ownstay?

if investor, check population growth of area (to know how many potential tenants might be), distance to amenities and offices/universities (key interest points for most tenants), and whether average rental prices in the area can cover the costs of house

if ownstay, based on distance between yourself and work, and whether size + environment suitable for your lifestyle and habits

my personal dua sen is House 2 would be for better both ownstay and investment, as bigger house and the location more central, being an existing subsale means you should have a better idea of rental prospects (for investment) and surrounding population (both investment for tenant profile, and ownstay for neighborhood )

since both are highrise (strata), leasehold vs freehold doesn't really matter usually since it's rarely a permanent home for most people (unless you're the type to prefer strata highrise living), about the main difficulty is that transfer of title during sale can take several months longer compared to freehold
