Foreign property investments could lead to big-time losses, warns CASE

Beware against bogus property investment firms.

The Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) today warned Singaporeans to be cautious on foreign property investments.

According to CASE, it received 13 complaints in 2013 and 2014 from consumers who had invested in foreign properties but were unable to get back their promised returns or payouts.

CASE noted that many of these consumers were lured into making the overseas property purchase by promises of high rental yields or high capital growth.

"However, after making this investment, many of the consumers were unable to obtain any update on their investment and in some cases, have lost contact with the property investment company. Some of these cases involved a loss of large sums of moneys of more than $100,000 by the consumer," stated CASE.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
