In its 2007 Quality of Living Survey, the UK's Mercer Human Resource Consulting ranked Singapore as the world's 34th most livable city. Singapore property is therefore attractive for those living and working in Singapore.

Singapore property developers are positive on the residential property outlook. Refer to the related media article published on the Forbes website.

Foreigners are eligible to buy Singapore property. However to buy Singapore property with land attached, approval from the Singapore Land Authority is required.

Under the Singapore Economic Development Board's (EDB) Global Investor Programme (GIP), foreigners buying Singapore property are eligible for Permanent Residence (PR) status if they invest a minimum of S$2 million (US$1.3 million) in the Singapore property.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) allows a Singapore property purchaser to borrow up to 80% of the valuation or purchase price, whichever is lower.

Healy Consultants can help arrange a Singapore property mortgage via a local Singapore bank.

Residential properties attract Singapore property tax, based on the estimated annual rent of the Singapore property (assuming it is let). Singapore property tax is payable by the owner regardless of where they are resident in Singapore, and regardless of nationality.
