FREE CHECKS

Run the numbers
yourself.

Preliminary checks as a first indication. A definitive analysis needs the actual unit, the actual lease and the actual operation.

RISK 01 · PAYING TOO MUCH

Know what the market signed.
Not what it is asking.

Official transacted rents from JTC and URA, by district and by street.

WHAT THE MAP SHOWS

Contracted rents lodged for stamp duty, not asking prices. Industrial by district, floor level and unit size; office and retail by street.

Open the map

The map is built on public information that URA and JTC allow to be shared freely.

Whether one ask is fair, on that floor and at that size, needs a benchmark matched to the unit and an analysis that goes beyond the figures alone.

RISK 02 · HIDDEN OCCUPANCY COST

The headline rent is not the rent.

Rent-free months spread across the term. Two offers at the same face rent are often not the same deal.

 

    Arithmetic on your own figures. Run it once per offer and compare the effective number, never the headline.

    RISK 04 · COMPLIANCE

    Which use-class does your operation actually need?

    The problem shows up at fit-out approval, not at viewing. Four questions, no sign-up, an honest answer.

    Indicative guidance only. Final use-class depends on URA/JTC assessment of your exact operations. Always verify before committing.

    Already know your use-class? Run the 60:40 floor-area check →

    On B1/B2 industrial space, at least 60% of floor area must stay in industrial use. Ancillary office, showroom and the like are capped at 40%. Go over, and you're looking at rejected fit-out plans, a use that can't be approved, or a lease you can't operate under.

    Industrial / core Ancillary Line = 60% floor
     

    Complete for the arithmetic, but whether a given space counts as core or ancillary is a judgment URA/JTC make on your actual fit-out (a mezzanine, an R&D lab, a showroom that doubles as storage). That classification is the one that decides your outcome, and it's exactly what a calculator can't do for you. Always verify the ratio against current URA/JTC guidance.

    RISK 05 · LOCK-IN

    Renew, or move?

    Moving costs money on day one and saves it every month after. This shows you where the two lines cross.

     
    Renew, over 5 years
     
     
      Relocate, over 5 years
       
       

        Undiscounted cash over five years, on your own figures. Reinstatement is counted against moving only, because staying defers it. Not a valuation and not advice.

        RISK 05 · LOCK-IN

        Buying? What it really costs.

        Every renewal costs more for the same space, and you own none of it. Put in what you pay today; see the year owning starts costing less.

         
        IF YOU KEEP RENTING
        Rent paid over 10 years
         
         
          IF YOU BUY IT
          Cash out over 10 years
           
           

            Illustrative arithmetic on your own figures. Not a valuation, a financing offer or tax advice. Assumes you sell for exactly what you paid, so no view on property prices is taken either way. Excludes legal and agent fees, fit-out, and any early-repayment penalty. A floating loan rate can rise as well as fall.

            WHAT THESE CANNOT DO

            A calculator has never read a lease.

            Neither check looks at your approved use, your floor loading, your service charge or your reinstatement clause. The free Pre-Check we offer does: a transacted benchmark for your street and a regulatory read on the unit, back within 2 working days.
