Luxury Expert: Singapore Cooling Considerations
Singapore is one of very few Triple A economies in the world. It has its own independent currency and has become a safe haven for wealth. Tax or no tax, interest in Singapore property, which is in limited supply, will therefore remain reasonably strong for both domestic and international investors. For now, the money may turn to commercial property, as well as to bargain hunting, but the latter won’t be easy to find as there are already too many ‘hunters’ out there. What analysts often mistake for speculation in Singapore, I believe is a genuine demand for luxury property.

In depth: The secret way to luxury London
Although London is something of a shining light in what is an increasingly murky global property investment landscape, buying top end properties in the UK capital can still be a serious challenge. Not only is the market currently suffering from low levels of supply, meaning competition for the best properties is fierce, but much of the stock available never actually hits the open market. This makes it increasingly difficult for both domestic and overseas buyers to find the right property whether looking for a permanent luxury home or a smart investment purchase. Nevertheless, London remains one of the safest and most desirable places to buy high-end property with a healthy prime market that is defying the wider UK market and even bucking global trends.
