Hence the people residing in these properties are saving a lot of time and money which they would otherwise spend traveling.

Midtown Bay Leasehold Versus Leasehold Properties
Compared to freehold properties the leasehold Midtown Bay in Singapore are more affordable for investors, since the real estate rates are usually lower. Since the government of Singapore has increased the stamp duty rate for second homes from 7 percent to a much higher 12 percent in the last few years, these homes are more suitable for those who do own any kind of property in Singapore. Compared to the core city center area of Singapore, this rate is lower, so investors who want to purchase property in an area with affluent residents can consider purchasing this property.
