\nWealthy Indonesians have long had an interest in collecting residential properties in Singapore.
\nIn 2014, Indonesia accounted for 24 percent of Singapore\u2019s property purchases, and while foreign investments in general slowed last year, including those from Indonesia, the city-state remains in favour.
\nWhile the full pros and cons list for investing is more complex, here are the four main reasons according to Global Indonesian Voices for why Indonesians today are choosing Singapore as a place to plant their money:
\n1. As a sound investment
\nAs a buy-to-let market, Singapore is reliably strong.
\nWith a significant international population and limited land area, generally speaking it\u2019s not difficult to find people looking to rent a flat or a condominium, and landlords can expect to make handsome returns.
\n2. For the quality of life
\nIn terms of the high-level of amenities, Indonesian cities can\u2019t stand up when compared with Singapore.
\nIndonesians may look to buy a property in Singapore for their own use in order to make use of the world-class education, healthcare, public infrastructure, cleanliness and safety.
\n3. The memory of the 1998 tragedy
\nSadly enough, anti-Chinese sentiment is still felt in Indonesia.
\nGlobal Indonesian Voices feels that fear of another massacre is a driving point for buyers of Chinese descent investing in a property in Singapore.
\n4. Ease of purchase
\nIndonesians find fewer barriers to buying property in Singapore than their home country.
\nSingapore boasts a low mortgage interest rate of two percent (in Indonesia it\u2019s 12 percent). There is a generous mortgage repayment of 30 years; double that of Indonesia.
\nSingapore is also reliable in terms of projects being completed on time, as construction delays will be met with a fine to the developer from the Singapore government.
