Wealthy foreigners gain less from buying Singapore property through family offices, experts say
WHILE foreign interest in Singapore properties has been on the rise in recent years, wealthy foreigners are likely buying assets under their individual names – instead of through their family offices – to circumvent financial disincentives.

According to National Development Minister Desmond Lee, there have been only four commercial property transactions attributable to family offices over the past six years.
