“En Bloc Singapore” is a hot topic in Singapore right now. The recent en bloc news of the Sun Rosier buyer has probably made everyone in Singapore think of what could have been. “If only I had bought xxx condo.” “If only I had not bought this HDB and plunged all my money into that old apartment.” Now what if you happened to be Singapore’s preeminent en bloc expert, how much would you have made if you made all the right en bloc calls since 1995 till now?

To accomplish this jaw dropping feat, you would have to immediately reinvest all the money from the en bloc proceeds to new properties. So every year the money you gained would be put in properties that you thought you would have the potential to en bloc, and so forth. In order for it to be more “realistic” you would only have bought one property in each development.

Property Picks59 affordable leasehold property with en bloc potential that are worth a second look!
by Druce TeoHere is how much you would have made:
So at the end of 22 years, you would have amassed a fortune of almost $125 million, from just $480,000 in 1995. This means that you would have made a nearly 260 times your initial investment!

Disclaimer: Couple of assumptions we made here. Values from transactions are derived from the URA data. En bloc prices are just averaged out and may not be actual unit prices due to the different sizes of units in a development. Some dates of transactions are not taken into account as we have just looked at the year it was sold and en bloc.
Bonus:
To take things further, we wanted to see what was the maximum value that one could have derived starting from transactions in 1995. The biggest profit that could be made was from buying City Mansion in 1995 at $1,500,000 as in 1996 it went en bloc gaining you $5,560,000. So from there on 22 years later you would have made a staggering $5,913,586,803. That’s nearly $6 billion!
Disclaimer: We took the lowest transaction for each development as the base cost for each unit. Also, as the figures increased so rapidly up till a point we had enough money to buy out whole developments, the assumption here is that we are able to buy out the entire development.
