Chancery Hill Collection: Buyer Guide to the 8 Freehold Homes

What Chancery Hill Collection is

Chancery Hill Collection is a small group of 8 new freehold landed houses in District 11, between Newton and Novena. The developer is Sustained Land. There are 4 detached houses (No. 8, 8A and 14, 16 Dyson Road) and 4 semi-detached houses (No. 10, 10A, 12 and 12A), all on Chancery Hill Road or Dyson Road. Land sizes run from 2,564 sqft for the smallest semi-detached plot to 5,623 sqft for the biggest detached plot. The houses are still being built, and the expected date of TOP is 19 March 2028.

New freehold landed homes this close to the city don't come up often, and with only 8 of them the choice is narrow. I wrote this guide so you can see the prices, what's left, who each house suits and what I'd think through, all in one place, before you spend a weekend on viewings. If you only want the numbers, they are in the price list.

Prices and what's left (05 Nov 2026)

7 of the 8 homes are still available. No. 12A (Type A semi-detached) was sold on 30 Aug 2026. The semi-detached houses are listed from $12,388,000 to $13,588,000, and the detached houses from $19,888,000 to $23,988,000.

For landed homes, the fairer way to compare is the price per square foot of land, because land is what holds its value; the house on it ages. On that measure the detached houses work out to about $4,266 to $4,306 psf of land, and the semi-detached houses about $4,622 to $5,027. So per sqft of land, the detached houses here cost less than the semi-detached ones; you pay more in total, but you get much more land.

Who I think it suits

Families moving from a condo to their first landed home

This is the buyer I meet most. You have outgrown the condo, the children need their own rooms, and you want a house you won't have to move out of. Every house here has 6 or 7 bedrooms on the developer's unit chart, so there is room for a helper, a study or grandparents. If you still own your condo when you buy, see the stamp duty notes below; the timing matters as much as the price.

Families who care about schools nearby

The project's location list puts Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) at 0.73km, St. Joseph's Institution Junior at 1km and CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh) at 1.03km, with Catholic Junior College at 0.45km and Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) at 0.6km. Do check the exact home-school distance on SLA's OneMap before you count on a Primary 1 priority band, because that is the measure MOE uses.

Buyers who want a new house, not a rebuild

Many landed buyers in this area buy an older house and rebuild it, which means design, approvals, a contractor and a few years of your life. Here the house is being built for you, and you pay as it goes up. You give up the freedom to design it yourself.

Who it may not suit

• If you need to move in before 2028. Expected TOP is 19 March 2028.
• If you are not a Singapore citizen and don't have SLA approval to buy landed property (see the FAQ).
• If you want condo facilities and a management office. In a landed house, the pool, lift and garden upkeep are yours.
• If you are buying mainly for rental income. At this price, landed rent is a different calculation; I'm happy to go through the numbers with you, but I won't promise a yield.

Location: D11 Newton / Novena

The houses sit where Chancery Hill Road meets Dyson Road, in the quiet landed streets between Newton and Novena. Novena MRT on the North-South Line is listed at 0.66km. Mount Pleasant MRT on the Thomson-East Coast Line is listed at 0.67km, but it is built and not yet open, and no opening date has been announced, so I wouldn't pay for it today. Around Novena MRT you have Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital and the Velocity and United Square malls.

Primary schools on the project's location list: Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) (0.73km), St. Joseph's Institution Junior (1km), CHIJ Primary (Toa Payoh) (1.03km), Singapore Chinese Girls' Primary School (1.26km), Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) (1.63km), Farrer Park Primary School (1.83km). Secondary schools and junior colleges: Catholic Junior College (0.45km), Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) (0.6km), CHIJ Secondary (Toa Payoh) (1.06km), St. Joseph's Institution (Secondary and Junior College) (1.17km), Singapore Chinese Girls' School (1.26km). The full list of more than 30 schools and preschools within 2km is on the location page.

My honest take: what I'd weigh before you buy

Why it's worth a look

• Freehold landed, brand new, in District 11. You don't see this often.
• Only 8 houses, so it stays a small, quiet group of neighbours.
• The developer's prices are published on my ERA project page, so you can compare house by house.
• Good schools within about 1km to 2km, and Novena MRT within walking distance.
• You pay no commission; the developer pays the agency's fees.

What to think through

• The amount. Even the lowest price here is $12,388,000, plus about $682,880 in Buyer's Stamp Duty. Get a bank's in-principle approval before you commit, as the loan only covers part of the price.
• Timing. TOP is expected in March 2028. If you are selling a condo or HDB flat, line up both dates so you don't pay ABSD you can't claim back, or end up with two loans.
• Few comparables. With 8 houses, there won't be many sales to compare against when you sell. The land is the part that holds value, so look at price per sqft of land.
• Semi-detached means one shared wall and a smaller plot. The detached houses cost more in total but less per sqft of land.
• Mount Pleasant MRT has no opening date yet. Treat it as a bonus, not a reason to buy.
• No. 10A is listed above No. 10 though its plot is smaller. Prices within the same type are not always in size order, so compare each house, not just the type.

I'd rather you buy a house you are comfortable paying for than stretch for one. If it doesn't fit your plans, I will tell you.

Buying landed in Singapore: the basics

Who can buy

Singapore citizens can buy landed houses freely. Anyone else, including Singapore PRs, needs approval from the Singapore Land Authority under the Residential Property Act. SLA assesses each case; its published criteria include being a PR for at least five years and making an exceptional economic contribution to Singapore, and it says an application generally takes about 30 working days once it has all the documents. Apply before you commit to a house.

Stamp duty

Buyer's Stamp Duty is charged on every purchase, at up to 6% on the part of the price above $3 million (IRAS rates from 15 February 2023). On $12,388,000 that is about $682,880; on $19,888,000 about $1,132,880. Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (rates from 27 April 2023) is 0% for a Singapore citizen's first home, 20% for a second and 30% for a third; 5% for a PR's first property and 30% for a second; and 60% for foreigners. A married couple with at least one Singapore citizen who buys a second home jointly can claim the ABSD back if they sell their first home in time; for a house still under construction, IRAS allows up to 6 months after the earlier of TOP or CSC.

Paying for a house under construction

Because these houses are still being built, you pay in stages as construction goes on rather than all at once. Ask me for the developer's payment schedule and the specifications list before you book, and get your lawyer to check the sale and purchase agreement.
