10k in pounds and one can invest in notes which gives returns based on property there.
Really...what notes? What property?
I would not invest there now since even UOB has a neg view of it going forward.
I found in Google search. You can search yourself quite easily.
Well, it is the Internet era now after all...PropertyGuru is another popular search portal ....
Could it be funds that are like REITs?
Investing in London is much much more sophiscated.
If you can't afford Singapore properties, how are you going to buy London's?
Prime Singapore condo is about S$1800 psf versus PCL GBP 2300 psf.
Real estate funds(some are co-own funds) are just one approach for people with no sophisticated knowledge about London properties and not much money
(whether making money or not is another matter)

Three UK real estate funds halt selling; what happens next?

Its just a knee jerk reaction, it will bounce back. Only thing to stop London property is the perfect storm (you know what I mean if you watch discovery channel).
I think the market is not able to grasp the long term impacts of brexit. So there would be turbulence for quite a while. The fund investors are normally the easiest to quit the market and are in panic mode now apparently. Stopping redemption is quite a desperate move and a precaution to a collapsing market that could result.

Yes, definitely we will be expecting some kind of uncertainty from the impacts of Brexit especially from the Europeans themselves. But then again this could be a window of opportunity. GBP has dropped to its lowest in 30 years at 1.7650, which make London Property more affordable especially to Asia and Middle East Investors.
Either way, London Property are more for the upper-middle investors, I am more for low quantum investments that has higher capital appreciation potential
To me, buying cheap is a perpetually good thing one could do when investing.
"The Straits" project, launched in 2015 and expected VP in 2018. The building will be a hotel suite managed by Ramada, an international 4* chain. On the lease back scheme offered, they guarantee 7% for 1st 5 yrs follow by 6% for the next 5 years. What do you think?
very interesting article to share. It is saying if you are borned in the 70s, and expect to retire at 65, your savings need to stretch to 90-95 years old. It's almost impossible, and the article recommends to 'work until die'.
Investors in this forum will likely disagree.

Under the minimum sum CPF will pay out from 65 to 85, a period of 20 years. One gotta use only 66% of the payout so that the 34% balance can last another 10 years to 95.
Or better still, use only 50% and the balance until 105.
