If I buy a property at 5 or 5A Pillai Road, does it mean I don’t own the whole house?

When addresses such as 5 and 5A appear on Pillai Road, this indicates that the original land plot or house at number 5 was subdivided into two separate dwellings or legal titles: 5 and 5A. This is a common practice for landed properties in Singapore, where the owner or developer subdivides a larger plot to create additional houses, each with its own designated address.

If you buy either 5 or 5A, you own the entire respective house and the land it sits on, as specified in the title deed. You will not own both houses or the combined original plot unless you purchase both titles. Each unit (5 and 5A) is considered a separate property with its own land title, so you are the sole owner of the house and the land for the specific address you purchase. This is different from owning just a part of a building, as in a condominium.
