PAP caught red-handed?
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Henry Lim The Straits Times Tuesday, Aug 13, 2013 Forum SINGAPORE - There has been high demand for the newly launched Build-To-Order two-room Housing Board flats for singles. Buyers are entitled to various housing grants, which can lower the price of such flats to about $50,000. For singles who apply jointly, the net price is even lower, at about $16,000. Hence, the flat may be viewed as a good long-term investment for eventual resale or rental. In contrast, the price of a similar studio apartment for seniors aged above 55 is about $90,000. The studio apartment comes with wardrobes, kitchen cabinets and flooring, but it is still difficult to comprehend why there is such a big price difference. Studio apartments are also on a 30-year lease, and owners are not allowed to rent out or resell the units. Some seniors are unemployed and may have financial difficulty in purchasing a studio apartment. The price of such units should be reviewed. Can the HDB also enlighten us on the price differential between a new two-room flat and a studio apartment? -Henry Lim Click here to view the whole thread at www.sammyboy.com. |
