What is Landed Property?

Landed property is an unusual term for the layman but a common enough term in the real estate industry. It is a kind of real estate that earns income without the owner having to do any actual work within the land. Have you ever watched an episode of Downton Abbey?  If you are familiar with this popular British TV series, the real estate the Grantham family owns and runs in the story is in fact, a landed property.

What constitutes a landed estate? Like in Downton Abbey, a landed property consists of a manor and more than one tenant farm (depends on how large the land is) and other enterprises such as shops, mills, inns and/or animal farms. Aside from these enterprises which generate income not only for the landlord but also for the tenants, landed property also comprise of houses and other buildings which are leased out by the landlord. Landlords earn a steady income through the monthly rents and fees accrued by its tenants.

Landed estates were once highly popular in Europe. It was an integral part of feudalism which made the lives of landlords (and those in aristocracy) very easy. It freed them from having a regular job like others and were assigned, instead, to other tasks related to the government, military, law or even religion. Landed Estates used to be the holdings of great and wealthy English families which were inherited and passed on from one generation to the next.

There was permanent and absolute tenure of land at the time and landlords could even dispose of it if they want to. Tenants enjoyed the benefits of renting small or large parcel/s of land from landed properties at fair or low costs as deemed by the landlord. They could even sublet to others. Rent and other fees are a given in landed estates but there were stipulations made in its early days. The stipulations were sometimes about having to cultivate certain crops in the leased land or making minor improvements like planting trees in the area. The economy in the rural areas of Europe used to thrive in the system of landed estates.

The landlord-tenant relationship was fundamental in the system formed from landed property. Not only did landlords earn from tenants but also gave back to them. During bad times, they practiced other duties becoming of a good landlord. They provided employment by hiring staff (maids, butlers, kitchen staff, etc.) for the "Big house" or their residence. They also helped out in strategizing effective and efficient farming practices for their tenants. Tenants were highly regarded by landlords and were not only viewed as a source of income.


Modern landed properties have gone a long way since the 18th century but it still remains as a good way to earn money with the land you may own. 

Why You Need to Own a Vermont Condo Singapore?

Singapore's limited land availability, and since the World Bank has named Singapore as the easiest place in the world to do business, everyone wants to have their space here, and it paved way for the rise of condo units.

Since government-subsidized flats are only available to citizens and permanent residents, large minority of condominium owners, therefore, are non-permanent residents. Owning a Vermont Condo Singapore is not just a want, but a must. Having a condo unit at the heart of the retail hub, and CBD (Central Business District) of Singapore, will not just save your time from travelling, but it also brings you near to the key businesses you need to transact with. The closer you are to the CBD, the more advantages you have.

According to Wikipedia, “Singapore has the world's highest percentage of millionaires, with one out of every six households having at least one million US dollars in disposable wealth (excluding property, businesses, and luxury goods, which if included would further increase the number of millionaires, especially as property in Singapore is among the world's most expensive)”. Given this fact, the price of living in Singapore is not cheap. The price you have to pay, will be paid off as opportunities arise, because what you are paying for is not the just the place itself, but the location, and the comfort it brings.

If you want to own a condo and have it rented by tourists, you can never go wrong with Vermont Condo Singapore. The place is situated at the heart of the entertainment pub, and the shopping malls are found right at your door step. Tourists are everywhere and foreigners make up 42% of the population.

Another fact from Wikipedia is “Singaporean students consistently rank in the top five in the world in the two major international assessments of mathematics and science knowledge “. Vermont Condo Singapore which is located in Orchard, is just a few minutes away from the National University of Singapore, Bukit Timah Campus, which is among the top 50 in the world. You can have the condo rented by students, and you can earn well with this.

In addition to the abovementioned things, there is a phrase used to describe the materialism in Singapore, the “5C's of Singapore”, namely Cash, Car, Credit Card, Condo, and Country Club. This shows that owning a condo is a status symbol, and part of Singaporean dreams.


The decision is still yours, is it just a want or a need?

Why is Having The Best Office Furniture Important?

Offices are important elements of any good business regardless as to which sector it might belong.

Many have been accustomed to this, but more and more people are thinking that it may not be a good idea to make your office equipment just defined with plain old desk and office chairs.

Nowadays, looking at an office with great office furniture is similar to the idea when someone makes a first impression when you get to meet someone.

At some point, it is really a great idea because mainly it reflects on how you see your business.

Not only that, aside from yourself, your employees will also enjoy a better time if they are working with the best office equipment, which may not need to be that expensive. As long as it is a bit beyond the standard and the functionality is impeccable, that would be fine.

Although there would be times that you may be been going through a serious office renovation, or have just started to own a new office and would like to make sure as to which kind of furniture should be used on the said space. Did you know that there are event furniture rental options that you can avail off too?

Such event furniture may include one or more of the following: office chairs, great looking desktop units with storage areas, office storage systems, office racking systems and even furniture which are applicable for office events such as seminars, workshops or conferences. This kind of furniture rental is perfect for companies with large-scale annual events, outings, restaurant events and even usable for hotel events.

This way, you can check on how such office furniture would initially look on your office workplace, and even have a certain period of time to rent it while your constituents might be staying for a while in your office. This is also a great deal for those who eventually are planning to purchase office furniture but in the meantime, they just wanted to test out some good options before they actually buy these types of furniture.

Because the train system has access to almost every part of Singapore, it is the most preferred mode of transportation in the country. You can opt to use the EZ-Link card for your train rides (it can also be used for bus rides) if you are staying for a couple of days. This is almost the same as that of Hong Kong’s Octopus Card.

The SMRT, on the other hand, is Singapore’s first mass-rapid transit operator. They are operating on the northern parts of the country. They also offer a night bus service called the NightRider.

And as mentioned earlier, Singapore’s bus system also accepts payment through the EZ Link card.

We can always mix and match.

For birthday celebrations

If we will talk about birthday flowers, we need to choose the ones with vibrant colours. Since flowers have different meanings and symbolizations, we need to pick the right ones to make the celebrant happy. One of the many options is to give a mixed bouquet. A mix of yellow tulips and gerbera daisies are the perfect option. It suits different types of personalities. If the birthday celebrant is the person you love, you need to mix lilies with red or orange roses to show a sign of love and passion. Iris bouquet is also an option especially mixed with roses. Since there are flowers that are associated with every months of the year, it is best to align your option with the birth month of the birthday celebrant.

February: Iris symbolizes honour

March: Daffodil symbolizes care

April: Sweetpea symbolizes euphoric pleasure

May: Lilies symbolize humility

June: Rose symbolizes love and passion

July: Larkspur symbolizes lightness

August: Gladiolus symbolizes sincerity

September: Morning glory symbolizes charm

October: Cosmos symbolizes cheerfulness

November: Chrysanthemumsymbolizes confidence

There are a lot of florists that offer flower arrangements depending on what type of business openings are about to take place. Another option is to give Orchids of any type as long as they are presented into one lively bouquet. Sending live indoor greens is also a good gift option to start up business owners.
