Tan says the unit being auctioned has a current tenancy ending in September 2025. This gives the future owner the chance to start earning rental income immediately.
The property currently generates $6,800 in monthly rent, reflecting a rental yield of 4.5% based on the guide price of $1.8 million. Based on existing URA rental caveats tabulated by EdgeProp Singapore’s research tools, the average monthly rent at Wallich Residence over the past 12 months is approximately $10.50 psf. This rate implies a rental yield of 4.1% for landlords over the same period.
