Actually, I'm doing a bit of research into houses and properties that have a environmental consideration while designing the house or condo. I think it is still new in Singapore and the rest of South Asia. But it is important that we look into this in a much bigger way now.

You mean properties and real estate that use energy saving and renewable energy solutions as part of their design. Is that correct?

Hi would you be interested in bringing your exhibition to Singapore? Can you contact me with more details?

I don't think that UK will double tax it citizens if the income is reported in the country of origin of the income. So if you invest the money in another commonwealth country - like India, Malaysia or Singapore, they do not levy taxes on you again should you repatriate the monies. There is no...

We're based in Singapore, and we mainly do Asian property. We've also just started doing projects outside of Singapore this year.

Alison, what do you mean by green investments? Can you clarify?

Oh yes, the political situation in various countries could be improved for more stability and investor confidence. I hope that will improve soon. As a pragmatic and politically apathetic person, I'm quite happy in Singapore where we pretty much do not have such political upheavals.

Silvana, oh don't think that I'm against Asia. We're in Singapore, and we think the rest of Asia is great. That includes India, places in China, even in Indonesia are great places to invest in and live in as well. I am just sad that there seems to be so much concentration of interest...

Hi The great Gatsby, you said you're new ot the game, as in new to real estate brokerage? Which part of the world are you? Do you have a specialisation?

I have a fair fiew European and American friends who actually love living in Asia. In fact I just heard a really cute story from a new-found friend. Her name is Sky :) Her Uncle was actually on his way to UK to visit another relative (he's from Australia),and he was in transit in Singapore...

Of course it is not wise to place all retirement funds into real estate investment. A prudent investment planner or financial planner should be advising you. Some funds must be put aside for emergency, living expenses as well as what I like to call "fun Fund". Its important that some funds be...

As for other countries outside Singapore, we have never encountered such issues before. But in Singapore, it's very transparent. Plus there is no estate tax. Despite having no estate tax involved it does not mean that you do not get a will done. Its so cheap to get a will done. It justs costs as...

Yes, Malaysia is growing quite well. Kuala Lumpur property is quite hot. Vietnam is also hot..maybe too hot too :p Well thanks for taking up my suggestion :)

With the stability in Asia, I think there is much potential in Asian property. But Asia should be divided into South East Asia, China, South Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan etc). South Asia and China are already represented, but to refer to only properties in India. Hope you may take...

Another area for investment in Malaysia is the Iskandar IDR area. Which is currently jointly developed between J.B (Malaysia) and SIngapore. This special economic zone will be jointly promoted by the regional government of JB and Singapore to attract high value manufacturing and technology...

no restrictions with profit repatriation Oh yes another point to note is that in Singapore, there is no capital gains tax, just normal property tax and income tax. So during this period you will have to pay property tax as well as income tax. But some tax planning can reduce the taxable...

Residential or COmmercial property in Singapore If you're looking for rental yields for your property investment - consider Commercial property in Singapore. A decently located commercial or industrial unit can be easily tenanted out. We can manage it for you to look for suitable tenants in the...

The 2nd option is a risky option. Given hikes in food and fuel prices, NZ's economic growth prospects will be affected in the medium term, given that NZ exports much of its products to Australia and the rest of the world. There will be global tightening of monetary policy which will cause the...

Perhaps you might want to relocate to Asia. Maybe Singapore might be too hectic a place for retirement, but its got great healthcare facilities if you ever need it. And there are great opportunities right now in the commercial and industrial property arena, as property rents are all heating up...
