The numbers that matter

Stamp-duty estimator

Both storeys are commercial-approved, so no ABSD. The swing factor is GST.

On a mixed shophouse we'd value the residential floor from live URA residential comps to estimate ABSD (20–65%). Here it's zero.

Indicative only — confirm stamp duty, GST & apportionment with your lawyer / IRAS.

Income & outgoings

What it earns — and what it costs to hold

Ground floor — passing rentS$11,000 / mo
Upper floors — passing rentS$7,000 / mo
Total gross rentS$18,000 / mo · S$216,000 / yr
Gross yield on S$6.3M~3.4%
Property tax (flat 10% of AV)≈ S$21,600 / yr
Net yield (after tax & outgoings)~2.8–3.0%

Both floors are tenanted — S$18,000/mo, no void from day one. Commercial property tax is a flat 10% of Annual Value; whole building, so no MCST. Passing rents as advised by owner (verify); confirm AV with IRAS.

Yield basis (CEA): gross yield = annual rent as stated above (passing or projected, per the stated basis) ÷ the stated asking price; net yield is after property tax (a flat 10% of Annual Value), MCST/service charge and outgoings. These are historical/indicative, not a forecast or a guarantee of return — verify the tenancy and the IRAS Annual Value independently before relying on them.

What makes it rare

Why this one, not another

Only
S$0 ABSD — both floors commercial

Many nearby shophouses have a residential upper floor that triggers ABSD (20–65%). Here both storeys are commercial-approved, so a foreign or corporate buyer pays none.

Rare
Extra lettable GFA from a new roof mezzanine

Approved office mezzanine adds usable area beyond the standard two-storey shophouse envelope.

Location
2-min walk to Little India MRT

Interchange access plus Tekka Market footfall — a frontage in one of Singapore's most-visited precincts.

A few questions worth asking

Here's the data. The conclusion is yours.

Could you build it for less?
Land + rebuild ≈ S$6.8–7.6M

Land nearby trades ~S$4,600–7,700 psf — ~S$5.1M for this plot. Restoring a conserved shophouse runs ~S$600–900 psf → ~S$1.7–2.5M, over 9–14 months. So what would it cost to recreate this — versus S$6.3M, already done?

Where is the district heading?
Little India led every district in 2025

As the broader shophouse market cooled to a decade-low volume, Little India rose +8.2% — 24 sales, S$183M. If capital concentrated here while the rest slowed, where do you think the next one prices?

What are you actually paying?
S$6.3M — S$0.5M under valuation

Latest valuation S$6.8M (verify); advertised at S$6.3M. How often does a rebuilt, fully-commercial asset come to you below its own valuation?

Land, construction and valuation figures are indicative and sourced (URA REALIS; industry restoration rates ~S$400–1,000 psf; PropNex Q4 2025). Historical only — not a forecast, an assurance of returns, or financial advice. Verify independently.
