Tampines Financial Hub not useful to everybody, such price tag is on the high side to me.

99LH is one thing, an average HDB after 20-years or maximum 30years you need to redo another renovation, re-route the wiring, so how nice the developer can design also is LPPL to me.

Besides that, interest payable for the loan follows high principle amount of $, so how to yield resonable high returns?

if there is 1000 who apply for the 700 flats who is to say what.

this is like the romance of the 3 kingdom, yi ke yuan ta, yi ke yuan ai.

anyway, i don't think near tampines financial hub is a big draw for anyone. my guess is those who want to stay near parents, those who live all their lifes in tampines, those who sold a property and is now able to apply for a new flat are the ones who will apply.

DBSS residents expect good resale prices
They think location will get them top dollar for units, and experts agree

By Cheryl Ong & Sia Lingxin

THEY may have paid high prices, but residents of Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) flats said they are confident that the better location of their estates will land them good resale prices in future.

Industry observers and academics agree that it is the location - and not so much the touted better fittings and design - that could help the owners command a premium in the resale market.

DBSS flats have been in the news after the developer of the Centrale 8 project in Tampines drew flak for pricing units at high prices.

PropNex chief Mohamed Ismail said: 'Today, it is a DBSS flat, but five years from today, it will be another ordinary HDB flat. The valuation then will focus on the good location of the flats and the market sentiment.'

Agreeing, SLP International head of research Nicholas Mak said: 'No one knows what the market will look like in five years' time.'

Associate Professor Yu Shi Ming, who heads the department of real estate at the National University of Singapore, said the distinction between a DBSS flat and a Build-To-Order (BTO) one will narrow when both enter the resale market in years to come.
