If you are looking to buy a private property or HDB flat in Singapore, make sure that you know all the pitfalls before you sign on the dotted line. Here are some of the major things you should look out for to avoid getting into a legal or financial tangle during the transaction.

It could save you from buying a home with legal trouble or that has structural damage. Carefully consider buying a home that you might not be able to sell quickly in the future if you need to.

Paul Goldberger, an American architectural critic once quoted, “Urbanism works when it creates the journey as desirable as the destination.”

This dream has it origins back in the 19th century when most working class Australians rented cramped housing in inner city suburbs. It wasn’t until the 1950’s and 60’s that working class Australians started achieving this dream. As Darryl Kerrigan says in the film” It's every Australian family's dream. A quarter acre block. A Pool Room. A barbie. And an airport over the back fence”. As noted by Mr. Lee Bailie in a survey by Slater and Gordon’s Conveyancing Works “The majority of Australians are not yet ready to give up on the dream of owning their own slice of land”. Everyone can relate to Darryl Kerrigan’s pride in his property and his wish to save his home “They’re judging the place by what it looks like, and if it doesn’t have a pool, or a classy front or a big garden, it’s not worth saving. But it’s not a house its a home, it’s got everything. People who love each other, care for each other. It’s got memories, great memories, I mean it’s a place for the family to turn to, come back to. But that doesn’t seem to mean as much as a big f*cking

Although a rapid phenomenon, the process of gentrification initially starts at a slow pace. According to Biro (2007), “When low income houses are renovated they reach a higher quality and therefore are marketable to buyers who can afford to pay a premium for homes with better quality characteristics.”(p. 42) The individuals who cannot cope with the gentrification process due to

These costs involve the purchase of land, building or remodeling, hiring, licensing, amenities, and many other things.

Gentrification is the process of buying and renovating houses and store the housing in urban neighborhoods, which results in increase property values and replacing the lower income and small businesses. Once gentrification happens, rental units are often change to a more luxury housing or condominiums that are available to be purchased. As real estate changes, land use is also altered. Before the gentrification happens, the area usually consist of low-income family housing and sometimes light industries. But after the gentrification, it shifts the housing in an urban community lifestyle, along with businesses, office, restaurants, retails, and other form of entertainment. Because of this gentrification, it significantly affects the area’s character and

Most homeowners think that a newly-built home is a perfect home, but even with new homes, things can go wrong. With homes old and new, there will always be a few items

As a specialist with Colliers International said, “In Vancouver, outside of downtown there are effectively less than a handful of projects where you can do towers. You are not going to find a site in Vancouver to build a high-rise, so where are you going to build it? You are going to find it in Burnaby or Coquitlam,” expressed the reason that Vancouver’s restrictive and complex housing polices and little usable lands for developing high-rise apartments makes

Throughout history we can see that housing has followed certain trends. These trends are most heavily influenced by the technology available to the public at that time. As can be seen throughout history, living conditions in general have improved, as there are more access to resources and building technologies. Although the world we live in has changed greatly, the basic type of shelter needed for everyday life and the resources needed to construct them has changed very little. This is why we can see a lot of parallels between the ways people live throughout history. However, the biggest change is in the way we construct buildings and especially housing. History has taught us that as time goes by, technology increases, making it easier for us to build structures. For example the Egyptians relied solely on Adobe (sun dried mud bricks) and slave labor for construction. Then came the development of hydraulic lime mortar, the Treadwell cranes (which is a wooden, human powered hoisting and lowering device) as well as the start of domes and arches, as structural components in architecture. Followed by the Middle Ages, which saw a huge emphasis on the construction of massive public buildings such as Cathedrals, Churches, Fortifications

Neighborhoods in big cities are forced to make do with what they’ve been given, just like small, secluded towns. People know their neighbors, and when someone’s neighbor’s restaurant is bought out by a McDonald’s, they might not be very happy.

First reason that buildings change is we also change. None of us have constant atittudes and behaviours toward a

Kentlands has idiosyncrasy and imperfections--intentionally. Authentic variety is achieved by allowing odd, leftover lots to remain, forcing the design of a building for just that lot. We insisted that the imprecision of design sketches be reflected in the built work. It took years for the engineers to get used to not straightening every street or making every

The mixture of buildings of different conditions are necessary to public life because it otherwise would be neither interesting nor fascinating. But the main reasons are because they ensure low rent yields, encouraging the growth of small enterprises. Large swatches of new construction would only prevent income since not many would afford it, and the demand for it would not be as large as it would need to be.

Also the land has to perk which means the land is not too wet and is safe for a structure and allows a septic tank to be installed that will function properly.
