Rental yield falls for non-landed private property
Rental yield falls for non-landed private property
By Lip Kwok Wai | Posted: 10 November 2012 1946 hrs
SINGAPORE: The rental yield for non-landed private property went down by 0.2 percentage points in the last 10 months, compared to the same period last year.
According to statistics from the Singapore Real Estate Exchange (SRX), this brings the rental yield to 4.03 per cent.
This is even though average rental rose by two per cent in the first 10 months, to reach about S$3.80 per square foot.
In October alone, the average monthly rental was about S$3.89 per square foot.
Analysts said this is due to rental being unable to catch up with rising property prices.
With more private properties expected to be completed next year and the government's tightening of foreign manpower, analysts said rental yield will continue to fall.
This as the economy slows and demand for private property decreases.
The rental yield for October alone was 3.87 per cent and analysts expect it to dip to 3.5 per cent in June next year.

Maybank's Singapore operations post marginal growth in income
Maybank's Singapore operations post marginal growth in income
By Millet Enriquez | Posted: 09 November 2012 2310 hrs
SINGAPORE : Malayan Banking's (Maybank) Singapore operations posted income of S$542.4 million for the nine months ended September.
In a news release, Maybank said the marginal 0.1 per cent growth in income was due to slowing growth in the city state.
However, total loans portfolio in the Singapore operations grew at an annualised 2.1 per cent to S$24.9 billion.
The portfolio consists of around 39 per cent consumer loans and 61 per cent corporate loans.
Maybank said the net impaired loans ratio was stable at 0.32 per cent as at September 2012.
Maybank has over 2,200 offices in 20 countries, but around 90 per cent of its group income and profit comes from the key markets of Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.
"While we cannot fully avoid the headwinds in the current global economic environment resulting in lower external demand, we remain reassured that our three home markets of Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia will see resilient domestic growth. With our focus on the region, particularly ASEAN, we expect to register reasonable business growth for the full financial year," said Maybank president and CEO, Dato' Sri Abdul Wahid Omar in a statement.
Overall, Maybank posted a third-quarter net profit of 1.5 billion ringgit - up 13 per cent from 1.33 billion ringgit a year ago.
