Lease Analysis

With 29 years remaining on its 99-year lease, significant financing restrictions apply.

What Could Work Against You

  • With just 0 sales in the trailing year, pricing signals are indicative rather than definitive; expect wider bid-ask spreads when you negotiate.
  • The 22-unit size cuts both ways: exclusivity, but thinner resale liquidity and higher per-unit maintenance contributions than larger estates.
  • At 35+ years of age, upkeep costs trend upward and renovation budgets matter; some owners here are effectively holding an en-bloc option.

Who This Actually Suits

Buyers most likely to be happy here: families with young children, empty nesters / downsizers and cbd walking distance. Family-suitable layout and OCR (Outside Central Region) location with established school catchments nearby.

For young couples (no kids) and long-term hold (10+ yr), it can work — but weigh the trade-offs before committing.

It is a weaker fit for yield-focused investors — other options likely serve them better. OCR (Outside Central Region) location with rental demand profile worth running through our Rental Yield Calculator.
