IMPORTANT INFO FOR SURFERS Singapore's residential property attracts many foreign investors because there is no capital gains tax, provided: the property is kept for over 3 years and the buyer is not trading in properties. However, the ROI (returns on investment) is less than 3% in most cases in 2002.  ROI is defined as gross annual rental revenue divided by the purchase price x 100. Foreigners are allowed to buy condominiums or properties designated condominiums (even though they may be less than 6-storeys high), whether freehold or 99-year leases but they need government permission to buy "landed" properties.  Landed properties refer to properties with a garden e.g. bungalows, semi-detached and terrace houses, including conservation shophomes. 1.  PRIVATE HOUSING The Urban Renewal Authority (URA) has lots of information. 1.  The URA webpage has info on market indicators, private property selling prices, residential projects in the pipe line & uncompleted executive condos for purchase.

EXPATS/SURFERS TO NOTE:

1.  We charge the Tenant half a month's rent, on successful closing, to show and get the best of all the black and white bungalows in Singapore unless the Landlord pays us the commission.

2.  Please CONFIRM with your company and the human resource manager as to whether you are permitted to use asiahomes.com realtors (outside realtors). You may have to let your company know that you wish to use outside realtors if you feel you receive unsatisfactory service from company realtors, but many human resource managers have firm policies stopping you from doing so if the company is the Tenant and not yourself. 

3.  For rentals below S$2,500 per month, we charge Tenants  half a month's rent, on successful closing.

4.  Please note that we do NOT provide telephone numbers of Serviced apartments or any of the above condos and developments to expats/overseas callers phoning us wanting to know name of developer or tenant.  Please do NOT phone 9668 6468 or get persistent to get the numbers as our answering service operator doesn't have them personally.  He just takes down your name and telephone number and gets the realtors to contact you later.

The agents provide a free service to expats/secretaries needing serviced apartments without the hassle of booking themselves. They contact the operators of Serviced apartments, get the best rate and book for expats or bring expats to view the units of any serviced apartments.  Please try NOT to abuse this service if you just wish to shop around and book the apartments yourself or with your own agent.

5. HDB flats. We do NOT provide a service to rent HDB rooms but we do rent out approved HDB flats. As Oct 1, 2003, many more HDB owners can rent out their whole units without resorting to "lock one room" hassles and eviction threats for such illegal practices by the HDB.  Tel. 9668-6468, judy@asiahomes.com

6.  Asiahomes.com website NOT updated.
It is just not possible to update every page as expat real estate queries vary considerably from $300 rental to $30,000 and purchase prices from $500,000 to $5 million. It is too costly to do so. Please send email to judy@asiahomes.com your specific questions, appointments to view Singapore apartments and houses. We will assign a realtor to handle your queries and replies are usually 24 - 48 hours. If you don't hear from us, please re-send your email.  

7. Re-send your email if there is no reply. Asiahomes.com gets 4,000 junk mails daily and these have taken up the allotted space from the service provider. Your email may bounce back to you in such cases.
