How is this worked out? — the five sub-scores
Yield
Gross rental yield, scored across a 2.0–4.5% band.
Cashflow
Estimated net monthly cash at 75% LTV and today’s floating rate, rented out.
Liquidity
Project size plus sales & rental volume — how easily you could exit.
Growth
URA growth-node, MRT proximity and recent price momentum.
Family
A popular (oversubscribed) primary school within 1 km.
Overall
The average of the five sub-scores (each 0–100, higher = better).
Risk flags
Thin transactions — 2 sales in 12 months, so the price signal is noisy
Note: risk flags are screening signals from the data — not confirmed defects; check each against the actual unit, title & MCST.
A screening heuristic — not financial advice; verify every figure and your own budget before transacting.
Investor verdict
The Petals is a freehold project in D23 Bukit Batok with 3.3% gross yield, thin liquidity. It sits in a URA growth node (Jurong Lake District). Expect to top up ~$930/mo at 75% LTV.

Investment report
A plain-language read on The Petals — genuine strengths, honest risks, an independent fair-value range and a Buy / Watch / Avoid position, all from the data above.
In the Jurong Lake District URA growth precinct — a corridor earmarked for new jobs, transport and amenities.
Active rental market — 27 recent lease contracts at a healthy ~3.3% gross yield.
Well-sized 270-unit project — larger developments trade at firmer $psf and resell faster.
Freehold — no lease decay, so strong long-horizon holding power.
Why this may fail / what to watch
Negative monthly cashflow (~$930/mo top-up at 75% LTV, rented out) — and ABSD on a 2nd+ home makes the net return thinner still.
Thin liquidity (2 sales/12 mo) — a slower, choppier exit and a softer price signal.
Check nearby new-launch & upcoming TOP supply — a fresh project within walking distance can cap rents and resale for a few years.

How is this worked out? — the value bases & combined range
Project median
Recency-filtered median $psf of this project’s own resale caveats (ground & top-floor units excluded).
Same-size comps
Recency-weighted median $psf of caveats within ±25% of the typical unit size (6-mo full, 6–12-mo 70%, 12–24-mo 40%) — the comparable-sales method used in our Valuation tool.
District-comparable
Median $psf across all projects in the same district — a market-level sanity check (a genuinely superior project can sit above it).
Yield-supported
The $psf at which today’s median rent would return a 3.8% target gross yield for a OCR project — anchors price to rental fundamentals.
Combined range
A weighted blend (comps 28%, yield 28%, project median 22%, district 22%); the band width (±5–13%) reflects how far the independent bases disagree, so a genuinely over- or under-priced project sits outside it.

InstalmentPrincipal + interest at the LTV, interest rate and loan tenure you pick.
Property taxIRAS 2025/26 residential rates on the property’s Annual Value — owner-occupied is lower (0% on the first $12k, then 4–32%); rented out / non-owner-occupier is higher (12–36%). We estimate AV at ~80% of the gross rent, because IRAS excludes furniture, furnishings and maintenance fees, so the real AV sits below the rent you collect. Check the exact figure with the IRAS Annual Value tool or tax-rate table.
Net cashRented out: rent − cash instalment − tax (before maintenance, insurance, income tax on rent and vacancy). Owner-occupied: no rent, so it’s −(cash instalment + tax) — your monthly holding cost.
CPF OAYour CPF Ordinary Account can pay part of the instalment, which lifts your monthly cash position (it’s still your own savings funding the loan, not extra profit). The $1,840 / month per buyer default is the normal monthly OA contribution (23% of the $8,000 2026 wage ceiling). If you have savings already sitting in your OA, you can put in more — up to the full instalment — so just type the amount you’ll actually draw into the CPF OA box.
Loan rateTap the Floating or Fixed preset, or type your own exact rate into the box.
Maintenance (MCST)An estimate (~$0.72–$1.00 psf/month by region) — Singapore has no central per-project MCST fee dataset, so confirm the real figure with the managing agent.
Tip: CPF OA is capped at the instalment — once it covers the whole instalment, your cash outlay is $0, and changing LTV or tenure just moves how much CPF you draw, not your net cash. Set CPF lower to see the full effect of the loan terms.

How is this worked out? — leverage, stamp duties & SSD
Cash inYour upfront equity: down-payment (price × (1−LTV)) + Buyer’s Stamp Duty + ABSD for your profile. Uses the LTV, rate & tenure set in the calculator above.
RentalRent over the holding period minus loan interest, property tax and maintenance (rented-out rates). Loan principal isn’t counted as a cost — it builds equity you get back at sale.
AppreciationSale price = today’s price compounded at your growth rate, minus ~1% selling cost and any Seller’s Stamp Duty. SSD (from 4 Jul 2025) is 16/12/8/4% for selling within 1/2/3/4 years and 0% after 4 years — hence the 4-year default.
Total profit & ROIRental + appreciation, minus the upfront BSD & ABSD. Ann. ROI = the compound annual return on your cash-in over the holding period.
Stamp dutiesBSD marginal tiers 1–6% (from 15 Feb 2023). ABSD (Singapore Citizen): 0% first home, 20% second, 30% third+; 60% for foreigners — pick your profile above.
Note: a leveraged buy-to-let estimate. If rent doesn’t cover the monthly instalment (see the cashflow table above), you top up cash monthly — those top-ups aren’t added to the cash-in base, so treat ROI as indicative. Excludes rental income tax, vacancy and renovation.
