      Yes, this is a good suggestion as maintenance wise, seems fuss free.
      I think for landed like Hillcrest Villa, one side is glass while the other side is wall, guess should be fine.

      May I know what will happen to a 99yr property's price after it hits 10 years and beyond?

        Why u want to tear down the ducted aircon? The piping system is different from normal split unit
        If intending to renovate the whole house, what do people usually do with their old ducted aircon?

        Since it is an overhaul renovation. Going to hack most things anyway. For split unit, I know can just discard everything and change an entire set including new piping.

        I'm not familiar with ducted aircon though

          YOu can try this type of stair or chair lift. Heard BCA requires you to service it regularly too?

          LH demand and prices will plummet faster than FH in a deep recession. I already witnessed that in 2001-2 and 2007-09. Those were the downturns when many swiftly entered the market to sweep up the FH ppties cos they were VERY affordable then, in fact, more affordable than some new LH condos, HDB EAs and ECs that TOPed around that period! I kid you not! $350K can get a FH condo in the East or a 1 bedder in Mt Sophia. $680K can get a Cluny FH condo. $800K-$1 mil can get a humble 3-bedder terraced house in a non-prime district.

          LH buyers may face some financing roadblocks at the banks as the lease runs out. Go read Lawrence Wong's Budget COS speech this year. He cautioned buyers not to pay close to a mil for very old HDB flats in e.g. Bishan as the land will be returned to the state eventually and not all are slated for SERS!

          Having said that however, if yours is located right next to an MRT, good schools and malls, I guess it doesn't matter if it's FH or LH. There'll always be someone willing to lease it in good times or bad. Some well-located 99yr LH condos could undergo enbloc sale earlier than expected in our land scarce Singapore! Even 70yo HUDCs can go enbloc.

          FH strata owners tend to more 'anal' when it comes to enbloc negotiations. You get stuck in a negotiation if you have many rich Indonesian, Thai, Chinese or Malaysian PRs in your development who are NOT physically here, do not need the extra cash but just want to preserve their FH in good locations. Thank goodness there's the 90% and 80% majority rules now.

                  Anyone has heard of a new development in Queens Road, http://www.condolaunchsg.com/properties/the-asana/?


                  http://www.condolaunchsg.com/properties/the-asana/

                  It looks great and especially with its location on Queens Road, its a fraction of the price to own a house in the area + 1km radius to good schools + good location.

                  anyone knows if worth the buy?

                      Typically condo has a better return in terms of rental and capital gain. Most landed properties have few developments that are close near to greatly impact the property price.
