SINGAPORE LANDED PROPERTIES OVERVIEW
A Symbol of Exclusivity and Success
In land scarce Singapore, ownership of a landed property is limited. Furthermore, with landed properties making up only 5% of all residential property in Singapore, ownership is rather exclusive and is viewed as a symbol of success.
There are freehold and leasehold landed properties, with different types of layouts and sizes. Along with the variations of landed properties, there are comprehensive regulations applicable for the different landed property types.
TYPES OF LANDED PROPERTIES
The key difference between a landed and non-landed property is the land title: for a landed property, the plot of land that the house sits on belongs to the owner.
In other words, you own the land and can tear the house down and rebuild or redesign it to how you see fit, as long as it’s in accordance with the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Building Construction Authority (BCA) guidelines.
Unlike strata properties, every landed property in Singapore is not managed by a Management Corporation Strata Title (MCST), it also means that you don’t have to pay monthly maintenance and parking fees, and you are not bound by the typical rules set by a condominium management.
There are a few types of landed properties in Singapore mainly:

Terrace Houses (Type 1)
Type 1 intermediate terrace house is the bigger among the two, with a minimum plot size of 150 sqm and a plot width of 6m. A corner Type 1 house, meanwhile, has a minimum plot size of 200 sqm and a plot width of 8m.

Terrace Houses (Type 2)
Type 2 terrace house has a minimum plot size of 80 sqm and a minimum plot width of 6m. A Type 2 corner terrace house has the same minimum plot size as an intermediate terrace house but with a larger minimum plot width of 8m.

Semi-detached Houses
Semi-detached houses, or Semi-Ds, are a pair of adjacent houses that are separated by a common wall and have a minimum plot of 200 sqm. Semi-detached houses can either be attached side-by-side or back-to-back.

Cluster Houses
Strata landed housing or a cluster house, is a hybrid landed property that comes with strata titles. They can be built in landed housing and GCB areas. A cluster house combines the privacy and spaciousness of landed properties, and the convenience of condo-like facilities such as swimming pools, gyms, and taken-care-off gardens.
Cluster developments can be home to terraces, semi-detached housing, bungalows, or a mix of these and share facilities within their developments. They have a maximum site coverage of 50% outside GCB areas and 40% within GCB areas.

Bungalows
A bungalow house is ‘detached’ from other houses and is one of the largest types of housing you can find in Singapore. Because the walls aren’t connected to another landed property, this offers residents more privacy and exclusivity.
Bungalows can be built in any of the designated landed housing areas (more on this below), including in semi-detached housing, mixed-landed, bungalow, and Good Class Bungalow areas.
A bungalow outside a Good Class Bungalow area has a minimum plot size of 400 sqm and a maximum site coverage of 50%, whereas a bungalow in a Good Class Bungalow area has a minimum plot size of 1,400 sqm and a maximum site coverage of 40%.

Good Class Bungalows
GCBs are the pinnacle of Singapore properties and are the most prestigious and exclusive type of landed housing in Singapore. There are two things that distinguish GCBs from bungalows: size and location.
GCBs have a minimum site area of 1,400 sqm, with a maximum site coverage of 40%. To preserve their exclusivity, prestige and character, GCBs can only be built in 39 gazetted areas in Singapore. These are usually located in prime and popular areas such as Chatsworth, Cluny Road near the Orchard Road shopping belt, Ridley Park off Tanglin Road, Leedon Park near Holland Road, and King Albert Park off Bukit Timah Road.
REASONS TO BUY LANDED HOME
Primary Motivations Are Family and Wealth
There are a number of reasons people buy landed properties. Primarily, the reasons are connected to family and wealth. Families that have multiple generations living together and families that appreciate privacy would prefer a landed property as home. In addition, families looking to build their legacy and generate wealth would prefer a landed property as a home and/or investment.
Better Lifestyle Resize
Landed houses provide families with a better lifestyle amidst the customisation, privacy and space.
Legacy Planning
Families can build their legacies by passing down a freehold landed property to the next generation.
Wealth Creation
With land scarcity and limited landed properties, there is potential of capital appreciation.
For example, can the land be sub-divided.
Multi-Generation Living
Living together as one big family , which builds strong familial bonds, is possible with landed housing.
