Lease Analysis

With 81 years remaining on its 99-year lease, PHILLIPS RESIDENCE still qualifies for full bank financing and CPF usage.

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 6-unit size cuts both ways: exclusivity, but thinner resale liquidity and higher per-unit maintenance contributions than larger estates.

Who This Actually Suits

This is a strong match for families with young children, p1 school balloting families, pet owners and freehold / generational hold. Family-suitable layout and OCR (Outside Central Region) location with established school catchments nearby.

car-owning households, long-term hold (10+ yr) and foreign / absd-aware buyers should treat this as a shortlist candidate, not a default choice.

yield-focused investors should probably look elsewhere. OCR (Outside Central Region) location with rental demand profile worth running through our Rental Yield Calculator.

One caution flagged here: avoid if mrt-dependent — MRT access is meaningfully constrained — transit-dependent buyers should consider better-connected alternatives.
