As Jean Paul Sartre famously wrote (and is famously misquoted), hell is other people. Some of us are naturally communal and like to hear the neighbour’s pets, children, relatives, etc. wandering by. But just as many of us have had bad experiences with neighbours, or have the kind of job where you just need quiet once […] The post 6 Ultra-Private Condos In Singapore With No Next-Door Neighbours  first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

And if there is anything that Singaporeans love in their condo developments: it is the trifecta of being freehold, close to the MRT, as well as being located on top of […] The post Why This Freehold Condo On Top Of A Mall Isn’t As Profitable As You Might Think first appeared on TheFinance.sg.

It has been close to 4 years since we purchased our second property. You can read more about that here. We paid the 12% ABSD back then to keep our HDB when we purchased our second property.

Most of us prefer the older and more experienced doctor, the 20-year career driver, or the lawyer who was practising before Bugis Street was air-conditioned. But things […] The post Why This Potential New Singapore Property Rule Could Be A Good Thing For You In 2025 first appeared on TheFinance.sg.
