Mine also lift upgraded 10 years ago. Very exclusive somemore, 1 lift serves 2 units per floor only

Sleepy, thats good only two families, so i assume the lift is very clean right?
cos only 2 families using, very obvious if lift is \"dirty\" .In common lifts, cant stand pet's pee in lift and owner does nothing to clean, i even saw shit in lift before ... dunno animal or human :yikes:

In private condo, exclusive must pay more maintenance fees , unit is ex too for such facility.

Yes and almost a private lift. I like!

I went to view Leedon residences. Was told maintenance from $495 up
Also similar concept, 1 lift serves 2 units per floor except that private lift is inside the house
Anyway, I drove pass so pop by to see see only. out of budget la.
Developer still asking for unrealistic prices with plenty unsold units

$495 for a month?!?!

[sleepy]

$495/mth is for their smallest 2 bedroom. They have up to 5 bedroom I think. Agent mentioned about maintenance for those bigger units closed to $1k or even >$1k

I stopped listening

The landscape is nice though. Dh said can jog inside

Hi


Need advise on this. I just write to Maybank for refinancing. They charged me $800 for admin fee. I don't remember paying admin fee for refinancing.

Can anybody advise?

Thanks!

It is normal for re-pricing, that is, change of rates, plans with the same bank.
Used to be lower amount previously, inflation as they say.

For refinancing, it is also common and also lower amount (inflation).
Nowaday, many freebies are not given, depending on the mortgage amount.

Larger mortgage amount, more freebie, lower mortgage amount, less freebie.
So items included that may or may not be there are legal fees, valuation fee etc.

Check with the mortgage agents, or banks that you are considering.

There is a tool now to track the property value (sale value, rental value), rental yield of your property.

The srx tracker is not meaningful as ppty next to each other could vary greatly in terms of age/quality and built up area.


Could be useful only for condo or HDB apartments

Even for rent, ppty next door could diff by 50% due to quality, furnishing and facilities esp landed - even with similar built in areas

Some terrace could fetch up to 50% higher than a detached house nearby

Did anybody see the ad of Hillview Peak on the tv?

Thought it was launched quite some time ago and now still selling?

[mummychua]

we went to see a couple of freehold 2br last wkend. With unit selling at 1.2mil, 18yrs old development. so reno is kind of a must, at least the basic. with rental ard the area at ~$2.7k. maintenance fee at S$340 per month. For sure, rental will not be able to cover the monthly repayment to bank. in addition, owner will have to pay for high property tax, and rental income is taxable too!


could this still be considered as a good investment? hold long term wait for capital gain? but for a 18yr old development, how much capital gain will it be possible?

I am not sure if 3% return is too much to ask for, nowadays? Before deducting the maintenance fee, the return is already less than 3%. And the maintenance is ex..may I know where is it located if you don't mind.

Yes, not forgetting the agent fee and also the addition cost to 'beautify' the unit after every tenancies...you won't have much left after that.
