As it happens I already have my own agents. I'm looking for some feedbacks from expats like myself. Just wanted some ideas from different peoples experiences with buying a
property. For example is it possible for a foreigner to buy a freehold? (I believe the answer is 'no' but if you can find a loophole, let me know)
If anyone has brought a property recently, would you recommend it? Where and what are the best for investment properties??
please enlighten.
99 year properties are alright if you just intend to buy for a few yrs and then sell. I am an expat myself from U.S. And am also currently looking to buy an investment property here.
You should look around in these places which I find really beautiful:
1. Country Park- Very new, convenient to shops and supermarkets.
2. Villa Marina - Love the resort feel, great facilities, nice ambience.
3. The Bayshore - Nice facilities
4. Costa Del Sol - Sea view, brand new, best facilities around the East.
5. Butterworth 8 - Many expats living there now..
6. Camelot - River view, near Singaproe Stadium, close to one of my favourite Indian restaurants, great for night dining.
7. Costa Rhu - I live there now and am considering buying a unit as well, go for the sea facing units.
8. Cote DAzur - I like the convenience to the mall next door.
9. East Meadows - Great location and facilities, many expats live there.
10. Gallery 8- My friend lives there, the view is nice and it's quite new.
11. Landbay
condo- Great facade, resort style, quiet with not too many residents.
12. One Fort- Latest in the eastern area, nice interior and layouts.
13. Paradise Palms- Great location, near to my fav. eating joints, Katong and also near the Parkway mall.
14. Pebble Bay-Lived there before I lived at Costa Rhu, one of my choices to buy as well.
15. Tanamera Crest- I was told by my friend that there is a good expat community in this area
16. Atria- If you like the seaview, this is one of the best views
17. Makena- Great expat community, lots of activities, nice pool, amenities, nice sea views, freehold.
18. The Palladium- Nice interior, small project.
19. The Waterside- Always on demand for renting.
20. Dunman View- Another great project, very new interior, nice fauna and flora...
So long as the projects are
condominiums and /or above 6 storeys, foreigners are eligible to buy it. So no worries.
You should visit the above projects. Good luck. 8)
