Re: landed house vs strata house
strata house
- usually need to pay management fees
- usually don't have your own gate, but a common entrance instead
- psf appreciate more slowly, but u start lower also
- no control over modifications/renovation of the exterior
- at times parking lot issue

Re: landed house vs strata house
u onli own a share of the land for stratas whereas for landed u actually own "land" in singapore. Stratas are like a landed version of a condo project.. more imptly u cant do A&A on it or tear down and rebuild to your preference. .while landed can..i think this is what sets landed apart from other housing options here...

Re: landed house vs strata house
i guess alot depends on your lifestyle, whether you want to have condo like facilities or not as well as a bunch of other stuff -
1. strata the mc will take care of all maintenance of common areas and facilities. also the general facade of your house (pest control and all that stuff too).
2. but of course as pointed out, you can't independently change the look of your facade etc.
3. most stratas come with 2 private parking lots in your basement so unless you have more than 2 cars, this will not be a problem.
4. strata you watch football late at night with buddies over beer and make alot of noise neighbour call security, landed neighbour call police.
5. most importantly, strata you dun own the land. all your neighbours together share ownership of the plot of land that your strata development is built upon.

Re: landed house vs strata house
thanks everyone for your comments. What do you all think of the strata house of Horizon Green and Horizon Garden. They are 99 LH and about 10 years old already.

Re: landed house vs strata house
Was looking at that sometime back, more so for the yield as the expats like that kind of concept and it's near the international schools. However, i find it too close for comfort to your neighbour, in fact offers you less privacy than an apartment. If you get a pool facing unit, very noisy leh. Cluster housing tends to build upwards, the layout on each floor a bit weird, rooms are quite small. The smaller development (I think is Horizon Green) is more exclusive but the maintenance charges are quite high. For that price, might as well buy an inter terrace at Sembawang Hills side, at least it's 999 or FH.
