Landed property in Singapore

Landed properties in Singapore include bungalows (detached houses), semi-detached houses, terrace houses, strata detached homes, and other similar housing forms. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) safeguards specific landed housing estates through the Landed Housing Areas Plan, ensuring variety and preserving the character of these neighborhoods. Examples of landed homes include:

• Good Class Bungalow areas (with a minimum plot size of 1,400 sqm)
• Bungalow areas (minimum plot size of 400 sqm)
• Semi-detached areas (permitting semi-detached, bungalows, strata bungalows, and strata semi-detached houses)
• Mixed landed housing areas (allowing various landed housing types such as bungalows, semi-detached houses, terrace houses, plus certain strata homes)

All legal interests affecting a landed property (including mortgages or charges) must be registered with the Land Titles Registry under the Singapore Land Authority (SLA). This ensures proper recording of ownership, prevents fraudulent dealings, and allows public searches of the property’s ownership status.
