Taxes, fees and what to budget
Buying commercial property brings its own costs. Legal fees typically run from S$3,000 to S$15,000, and a survey or valuation from S$500 to S$2,000, according to a guide to buying. Stamp duty on commercial property is charged in bands, with 4% on the part of the price between S$1 million and S$1.5 million. Commercial properties are also taxed at 10% of their annual value, so ask the seller for the current annual value.
Agents, developers and paperwork
An estate agent needs a licence, which requires a pass in the real estate agency exam, so ask to see the agent's licence before you sign anything. If a developer is building a non-residential project with more than four units, the Sale of Commercial Properties Act and its Rules apply. Check whether the title is freehold, which tenant is in place, and whether the land is included.
Location and climate
Listings for smaller units under S$500,000 are found in industrial zones such as Jurong, Tuas, Woodlands, Changi and Kaki Bukit. The climate is hot all year with wet and dry seasons, so there is no winter or summer buying peak. If you can, plan viewings in the drier months, because wet-season rain can make site visits harder.
What to write in your request
Name the property type (office, shophouse, retail or industrial), the district, the floor area, your budget, the intended use and the number of floors you want. Say whether you need a tenant in place and whether the land is included. The AI asks for anything missing before it looks for offers.
