Mary Sai, Executive Director at Knight Frank said that Shophouse sales were being affected by the gap between what Principal Garden buyers were prepared to pay and sellers thought that shophouses were worth. She explained that sellers were asking high prices believing that the fact that they are scarce and that they already generate rental income justified the price. However, they do not understand that UOL Principal Garden buyers are being affected by the Total Debt Servicing Ratio rules have hit buyers and the prices that they are asking mean only 2.5% – 3% yields gross, which only just covers buyers’ borrowing costs.
