Our children’s education needs to hinge less on postal codes and property ownership. That’s the issue that comes to mind, when I think about desperate parents faking addresses to be near certain schools. This happened very recently, with a lady lying about her home address for her daughter’s Primary 1 enrolment. If convicted, she faces up to […]

One of Punggol’s HDB clusters, the Northshore projects, are reaching their Minimum Occupancy Period (MOP) this year. Given the strong seller’s market in June 2025, this is a good opportunity for those who want to upgrade, be it to a private property or just a larger HDB flat. However, these sellers are facing a bit […]

Singaporeans are full of overused jokes about HDB flats and how small they are. “Hamster cages,” we call them, or “flats so small and so close, you argue one time, four neighbours will know your whole story.” But there’s quite a bit you can do with your HDB flat; and I knew just the place […]

The 15-month wait-out period might soon be on the chopping block, and I can’t wait for it to happen. This policy was introduced back in September 2022 and is still in place for now. Unless you’re aged 55 or older and rightsizing to a 4-room or smaller flat, you need to wait 15 months between the sale […]

A few months back, Jordan requested a tour of the Onan Road landed estate, but closer to the i12 side. (Thanks for following this series, by the way!) It took me a while to get round to it- apologies, but it’s hard to time the tours because of Singapore’s incessant rain- but that’s where we […]

I don’t get why Singaporeans like to pick the UK, Australia, or somewhere else nearby as a second home. If I want to get away, I want to get far away; far enough that the environment I’m taking a break from will literally be on the other side of this planet. There’s even a good reason for […]

Last week, we looked at some of the most affordable 5-room flats in central Singapore. This time, we’re narrowing the focus to 4-room flats; ideal for smaller families or couples who still want that bit of extra space. Most of the picks this week are in older estates, so while you’ll get generous layouts and […]

“Old” and “leasehold” are Singaporeans’ least favourite combination of words. We ourselves have seen that, despite numerous presentations on how leasehold can outdo freehold, there’s just a strong reluctance to accept it: on some visceral level, many like to feel that they’re paying for 25+ years of their lives for something permanent. So why did three of […]

Ever walked into a brand new condo showflat and wondered why every development seems to have the exact same facilities? Infinity pool, check. Sky gardens, check. Token “senior fitness corner” with three outdated machines, check. But what if I told you that by 2030, one in four Singaporeans will be over 65. And at the […]

If you’ve ever looked at a property in Singapore, you’ll probably know that proximity to a famous Primary school (within 1 km) is considered a big plus point, as such properties are often in demand with the parents of would-be students. (As per this MOE link: “priority is given to Singaporean Citizens and Permanent Residents who live […]

Today, we’re back in the East again for our landed estate exploration. This time at Fowlie Road. It’s been raining almost every day, so it was a little tricky to find a day clear enough to do one of these landed enclave walkabouts. You may be wondering what my logistical difficulties have to do with […]

The first real test has begun: Lentor Modern has gone live. The Lentor enclave is primed for transformation. But unlike the regional shifts and master planned rejuvenation in areas like Jurong East or Woodlands North, Lentor’s rejuvenation is not helmed by a single large developer. Instead, the transformation of the previously quiet landed neighbourhood is […]
