'We're in limbo': Chempaka residents uncertain about future with leases expiring in 10 yearsPHOTO: The Straits Times/Lim YaohuiWhen Mr J.C. bought his home in Jalan Chempaka Puteh for about $400,000 in 2007, he thought he had snagged the two-storey landed property at a good deal.

But he said the lease was not directly issued by the previous trustees, and was instead originally agreed with the developer. Camelot took over the trusteeship of the estate in July 2021.
The Camelot Trust spokesman said that it is working to find a resolution that will provide the “best possible outcome for all parties”, and is currently considering its options. “They said they would give us an answer by the end of 2023, but that didn’t happen and my e-mails went unanswered,” she added.

A surprising find: Touring freehold strata landed homes from $3m in Sixth AvenueGiven that any freehold landed property seems to be at least $3 million+ these days — even those that are located in very far-flung parts of Singapore.
