Investing in Real Estate | Singapore

In Singapore, real estate is a major asset class that is popular, and is available to most Singapore citizens and foreigners (under the FTA, citizens of Switzerland, USA, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway enjoy similar Seller's Stamp Duty / Buyer's Stamp Duty treatments as Singaporeans when purchasing real estate).

Foreigners are able to purchase condominiums with little restrictions, and landed houses (with approval from LDAU) at Sentosa Cove only. Most other landed properties are not available for purchase by foreigners. Foreigners are able to purchase industrial and commercial properties in Singapore with little restrictions and tax impact.

Laws and regulations pertaining to real estate transactions are constantly changing (often within months), and can often have great monetary impact on a Buyer or Seller. The government agency, Singapore Land Authority (SLA), controls the supply of land for property development by developers.

As real estate is real property and has a higher price/investment entry level, it is important that the investor is well-equipped with the necessary market, financial, and legal knowledge for asset protection, and avoid complications which may be result in penalties. It is therefore advisable that a real estate investor seeks professional legal advice, financial advice, and the professional services of a licensed real estate sales person prior to a real estate transaction in Singapore. Only CEA-registered real estate agents / brokers are legally authorized to do property transactions.

Most investors invest in high-end residential, commercial or industrial properties for inflation-hedging, income-generation, and potential asset appreciation.
