What this block is

Lease	99 years from 2011, expiring 2110 — 84 years left
Floors that have sold	4 to 51, so the block stands at least 51 storeys

Compare it with	the rest of Cantonment Road, 4-room flats across Central Area

Two things this page deliberately does not have. There is no floor plan: the resale register carries none, and drawing one from the median floor area would be an invention. And there is no nearest station, for the same reason — no rail data is published here, so the distance would be guessed. What is near this block, measured rather than assumed, is the food: hawker centres within a walk.

What a flat here really costs each month

Bought at the median price, a flat in this block works out at $2,340 for every month of the 84 years its lease still has to run. That figure takes in the price itself, both stamp duties, legal and valuation fees, the whole of the mortgage interest and the running costs for as long as the lease lasts.

It is a different question from the monthly instalment, which stops after 25 years while the lease carries on being used up.

Cash needed up front	$416,700
Mortgage interest over 25 years	$469,124
Running costs over the remaining lease	$362,880
Total over the lease	$2,358,704
Monthly while repaying	$5,624
Monthly once repaid	$360

Assumes a Singapore citizen buying a first home with a 75 per cent loan at 3 per cent over 25 years, $2,500 in legal fees, $400 for valuation, $1,200 a year in property tax and $260 a month for conservancy, upkeep and insurance. Change any of these. Figures are not discounted: a dollar paid in the final year of the lease is counted the same as a dollar paid today. Opportunity cost, CPF accrued interest and any resale value are excluded.

The median above is based on just seven sales, which is too few to call a market rate.

By flat type

Type	Median	Range	Size	psf	Sales
4-room	$1,022,401	$830,000–$1,588,000	1,023 sq ft	1,000	48
5-room	$1,115,000	$907,000–$1,590,000	1,141 sq ft	985	32

By floor

Measured inside a block, where the address, the age and the lease are all held still, a storey is worth about 0.63 per cent of the price per square foot — so the difference between the second floor and the twentieth is roughly 11 per cent, not the 2.1 times the market-wide storey bands appear to show. Why those bands mislead.
