Plot characteristics
What shapes value on each street
Not every landed plot is interchangeable. Street width, facing, boundary lines and land-use zoning all feed into whether a home is better to hold, extend or sell.
Key plot variables
When comparing streets, look beyond the house itself:
Plot depth and frontage — Regular frontages make rebuilding simpler; irregular lots may need setback waivers from URA or BCA.
Street width and car-park profile — Narrower lanes suit smaller households; wider roads carry more traffic but improve access.
Orientation and light — North-south facing is generally preferred for daylight and heat gain, though mature trees change the equation.
Tenure and restrictions — Freehold, 999-year and 99-year leases each affect loan tenure, buyer pool and long-term holding cost.
Proximity to drains / PUB reserve — Some back-lanes carry drainage reserves that limit rear extension. SLA and PUB maps should be checked before any A&A plan.
~1,500sq ft typical terrace plot
2,800+sq ft typical semi-D plot
5,000+sq ft typical detached plot
Terrace frontages vary street by street; check the latest URA Master Plan for the exact plot ratio and use.
Tenure patterns
Freehold, 999-year or 99-year?
District 19 has a mix of tenures. Understanding which dominates your street helps set realistic expectations on holding period, financing and resale buyer pool.
Freehold
Most common in Serangoon Gardens and older Kovan enclaves. No lease decay, broader buyer pool and generally easier financing.
Source: SLA land registry
999-year
Found in some Serangoon North and Kovan streets. For practical purposes behaves like freehold, but verify the original lease commencement year.
Source: SLA land registry
99-year leasehold
Less common in landed enclaves but present in some pockets. Loan tenure and CPF usage may be constrained as remaining lease shortens.
Source: HDB / URA
Tenure data is compiled from SLA land titles and URA planning records. For a title search on a specific plot, request a street report.
Decision framework
View, sell or hold?
The right move depends on your street's current supply, your tenure and your own timeline. Here is how Daniel thinks about each option.
View
Start here if you are a buyer. Walk the street at different times, check the URA Master Plan and compare the asking price to recent caveats on the same road.
Consider selling when comparable transactions on your street have risen, listing stock is low and your own plans allow a clean exit. Never sell only because the market is noisy.
If recent caveats are flat, your street has rising inventory or your plot has untapped rebuild potential, the data may say "don't sell yet". Holding is a valid answer.
Tell Daniel which street or estate you are watching. He will reply with a short, data-backed view — and say clearly when the numbers do not support selling yet.
FAQ
Questions about streets and plots
Straight answers on tenure, plot sizes, rebuilding and how Daniel decides whether a street is worth viewing right now.
Which landed streets in Kovan and Serangoon are freehold?
Many streets in Serangoon Gardens and older Kovan enclaves are freehold, including Kovan Road, Jalan Ketumbit, Jalan Pelikat, Simon Road and parts of Lim Ah Woo Road. Some Serangoon North streets carry 999-year or 99-year tenure. Exact tenure should be verified on the individual land title through SLA.
What is a typical plot size for a terrace house in District 19?
Terrace plots in Kovan and Serangoon typically range from about 1,200 to 2,000 square feet, though corner terraces and older estate lots can be larger. Semi-detached plots often start around 2,200 square feet, while detached plots usually exceed 4,000 square feet.
How do I know whether to sell or hold my landed home?
Start with recent caveat data on your street, current listing inventory and your own financial timeline. If comparable sales are flat or rising inventory is giving buyers more choice, the numbers may say hold. If transactions are up and stock is low, it may be time to list. Daniel reviews this block by block and will say clearly if the data does not support selling yet.
Where does the street and plot data come from?
Data is compiled from URA caveats and planning records, SLA land titles and tenure information, HDB and URA tenure classifications, and PUB and BCA guidelines where drainage or building setbacks affect plot use. Each data point is dated and sourced.
Can I rebuild or extend my landed plot?
Possibly, but it depends on URA zoning, plot ratio, setback requirements and any PUB drainage reserves. Corner plots and regular frontages are usually more flexible. Check the latest URA Master Plan and engage a qualified architect before committing to a design.
How do I arrange a street viewing or request a street report?
