    THE development charge (DC) rate for redeveloping land has been hiked for non-landed private homes for the fifth straight time, although watchers said that future increases could taper off as property-cooling measures put the lid on the collective-sale frenzy.

    Rates for this land-use group have been raised by an average of 9.8 per cent for the next six months, in a move by the Ministry of National Development (MND) on Friday - down from the 22.8 per cent jump in March.
