Buying an older property solely because you hope for an en bloc windfall is a highly dangerous gamble. ๐๐ฒ
Many buyers get lured into older developments by the dream of a massive payout. But banking on a collective sale isn't a property strategyโitโs speculation. You are essentially tying up your capital and betting your financial future on a complex process that requires 80% consensus, developer appetite, and perfect market timing.
If the en bloc falls through, you could be left holding a stagnating asset with declining value, rising maintenance costs, and a shrinking pool of future buyers.
A smart property decision is always built on certainties:
๐ก๏ธ Rock-solid current fundamentals and functional layout demand
๐ช A clear exit strategy independent of any collective sale
๐ True cash flow comfort and holding power
If an en bloc happens, celebrate it as a fantastic bonus. But never let a gamble be the foundation of your wealth legacy. Focus on strategy, not luck. ๐ข๐
