Valuation methodology
How Your Kovan Landed Home Is Valued
A realistic asking price combines on-site inspection with desktop research. CK Yong assesses the factors buyers actually compare.
Land & built-up size — plus plot ratio and efficient use of space.
Tenure — freehold, 999-year or 99-year leasehold and remaining lease.
Land shape, frontage & orientation — impact layout, light and rebuild potential.
Condition & renovation quality — and A&A or rebuild upside.
Recent caveats & market sentiment — URA transaction records and current demand.
| Property type | Street / area | Land (sq ft) | Built-up (sq ft) | Tenure | Approx. price | Land PSF |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terrace | Kovan area | 1,600 | 3,200 | Freehold | $3,200,000 | $2,000 |
| Corner Terrace | Kovan area | 2,200 | 4,000 | Freehold | $4,400,000 | $2,000 |
| Semi-Detached | District 19 | 2,800 | 4,500 | 99-year | $4,200,000 | $1,500 |
| Detached | District 19 | 4,500 | 6,500 | Freehold | $9,000,000 | $2,000 |
All figures above are illustrative examples for discussion purposes. Actual valuation requires a physical inspection and review of the latest caveat data.

Comparable sales
Making Sense of Comparable Sales
Not every nearby sale is a fair comparison. CK Yong selects and adjusts comparables so the asking price reflects your home’s specific attributes.
- Proximity to the subject property — same street or cluster where possible.
- Transaction date — more weight is given to recent URA caveats.
- Land vs built-up value distinction — both matter, but not equally.
- Tenure and lease-decay adjustment for leasehold landed.

FAQ
Common Questions from Kovan Landed Sellers
How is my landed home’s value different from a condo valuation?
Landed value is driven primarily by land size, land shape, frontage, tenure and rebuild potential, whereas condo value emphasises unit floor area, level and development facilities. Buyers also compare land PSF and built-up PSF separately for landed homes.
Do I need to pay Seller’s Stamp Duty (SSD)?
SSD applies if you sell within a set holding period from the purchase date. Rates are tiered by holding period and are published by IRAS. You should verify your exact liability using the IRAS e-Stamping calculator.
Can I sell while my home is being rebuilt or renovated?
Yes, but you must disclose the status of any ongoing BCA or URA approvals, renovation works and outstanding contracts. Buyers will factor completion risk into their offers, and viewings may be restricted.
How long does it usually take to sell a landed house in Kovan?
A typical Kovan landed sale takes roughly 4–12 weeks from listing to option, plus 8–12 weeks to completion, depending on pricing, market conditions and buyer financing.
What marketing costs are involved?
Marketing usually covers professional photography, floor plans, listing portal exposure and targeted digital campaigns. CK Yong discusses the plan and any costs upfront before launching.
