Investors to note:
Freehold condos are presently very popular with expatriates
and Indonesian investors. Valley Park is rentable but suffers
from hot competition from Melrose Park which is 6 years
younger.
Advantages:
Location near Orchard Road and Great World City Shopping Mall
with its cinemas and supermarkets being a 5-minute walk away
from the furthest Valley Park block.
A residential type feel. The beautifully oontoured pools and
the landscaped ambience make the Caucasian and Japanese
prospective Tenants want to live in this resort type condo.
Aspen Heights
is a close competitor for tenants, but Aspen
Heights
make some expats feel they are living in a big hotel as it has
a central atrium with all main doors facing the atium as in
some hotels.
Waterfront (a small man-made canal) view in some blocks.
City gas, no need to get tanks. Bathroom has telephone and
shaver points.
No problem getting taxis and buses to Orchard Road/Shenton
Way.
Cold

Kentucky Fried Chicken), Vietnamese restaurant, Chinese
Restaurant, a food court with over 20 stalls, retails shops &
cinemas in the Great World City shopping mall within 5-minute
walk.
Free
shuttle service from Great World City shopping mall to the
Orchard subway.
Disadvantages:
No separate shower stall in the master bathroom
unlike newer condos. The dark kitchen is a common complaint of
some Caucasians who love cooking.
No decent-sized maid's room in many units.
3-steps split level from the dining to the living area may be
attractive to some Caucasians but not to others who worry that
their toddlers may fall off the dining area into the living
area.
A
huge 8-inch gap at the side of the balcony worry mothers with
toddlers. High density condo living.
No unblocked views except for some blocks and high floors
above 15th and in certain blocks like Block 477 #19-03 facing
the Regency Park condos in the distance. 2-level penthouses do
not have big dining areas. |

FOR RENT |

1, 3- and
4-bedroom popular with Caucasian families.
Valley Park's balconies attract expatriates,
expecially those who are smokers. There's a 8-inch gap at the
side of the balcony, a worry for the safety of small children.
Holt Residences and 2 other new condos (right) and Tanglin View
condos (top, middle, orange building), near Redhill subway are
competitors for tenants. The road is River Valley Road.
Big Balconies off the living area for certain floor levels.
Valley Park balconies. The image shows the larger semi-circular
balcony of the Regency Park Condo. You can see the Valley Park
buildings at the extreme right of the photo, behind the realtor. The
Great World City Shopping Centre is to the immediate left of the
realtor, cut diagonally by a crane. The Melrose Park condo is sited
near the vicinity of the crane and just opposite Valley Park condos.
As at June 2001, Melrose Park, completed in 2000 is 100% occupied.

TIPS FOR
REALTORS |
Case Study written in July 30,
1998
Do you need
to have a good landlord-realtor relationship?
"Since you
didn't bring your Company receipt book, I will not pay you,"
said Mr Yeo.
He had asked the Asia USA realtor to go to his house to collect
the cheque at night and had not disclosed that he wanted an
official receipt immediately.
He would not accept a signed document acknowledging receipt of
his cheque. Back to the office to get the receipt book.
Note
to first-time Realtors:
You may need to carry receipt books and letterheads as you will
encounter such cases when you are longer into the business.
There are Owners who don't really like to work with realtors and
prefer the house to be vacant.
Investment-minded Owners cultivate the best relationship and
make good friends with the rental realtors. |
