old HDB flats

[myfs_47548]

dear Cecil,
i had saw your message regarding oldest HDB flats in Singapore. I guessed
those pictures you had taken are those old HDB flats that are near Tiong
Bahru market.
In your opinion, how's their fengshui? Also, recently HDB had been building
some new high rise blocks behind the old ones.
How would this flats affect the current one?

Dear Kenny,
1. I have just came back from that location - where you had mentioned the new flats > 22 storeys high at Kim Tian Road and opposite the pictures you saw.
2. Fundamentally, human activity and wealth will increase for the popular Tiong Bahuru market holders and food sellers. Since many of the centre's food stalls have made a name for themselves.
Usually, they are successful individually and some expand.
Excellent stores are:

or the Tiong Bahuru `chwee quay' which also branched to many locations even to Jurong West area.
3. In the area of food; this area can certainly do well.
4. For homes, even the low rise, do appeal to those around 30's to 40's who aim to buy low rise homes.
5. We cannot discount that this is indeed a choice location with its proximty to the city area.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Kenny,
Yes, one do not need Feng Shui to know that these locations are Ex(pensive)
Many of my clients who purchase apartments at Tiong Bahru and choice locations are often single, in their mid 30's to mid 40's.
In fact, the government had this year expanded the choice locations. And many of such small apartments are affordable only to the `cash' or CPF (central provident fund) rich single people who are only allowed to buy 3 room HDB apartments.
Often, the younger clients intend to set up a family and go for either the 4room or 5 room or even executive or Executive condos.
Therefore, going forward, it is a known fact that "we pay for what we get". With or without FS.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Further to what I had mentioned:
1. Young couples who had just started work or even had worked for 3 or 4 years may still have difficulty servicing the loan quantum for anything above $288K to $300K.
2. Another thing to remember is that in Singapore; for a 99 tenure apartment; if the lease falls below 60 years, no bank would normally touch it - since it increases their risk exposure on the property.
3. Only those who are single and cannot afford a condo, often, consider these apartments.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
