Practical Guide on Buying A Property

Someone has asked me to write a book to give practical tips on purchasing a property for investment or own occupation. As this is a major commitment, they like to know how to find and decide if the property is at the right price. This is similar to my book on financial planning. A lawyer, who has many years of experience in dealing with property will co-author this book.

Here are some possible topics for this book:
1. Trend of property prices in Singapore - by various types
2. Analysing a property purchase
3. How to identify and find some suitable properties
4. Steps and costs involved in a property purchase
5. Renting a property
6. Comparison of property with other types of investments
7. Personal experiences (from contributors)
8. Tips to watch out for
9. Legal aspects of property
10. Sample legal agreements
11. Access to property websites
12. Appointing a property agent
