The En-Bloc Process: Key Steps

1
CSC Formation (1-3 months)

Owners form a Collective Sale Committee (CSC) via an EOGM with at least 30% quorum. The CSC is the official body to drive the en-bloc process.

2
Appoint Marketing Agent (1-2 months)

The CSC appoints a property consultancy to handle valuations, marketing, and negotiations with potential developers.

3
Collective Agreement (6-12 months)

Owners sign the Collective Sale Agreement (CSA). The CSC must secure consent from owners holding at least 80% (if building is 10+ years old) or 90% of share values.

4
STB Application (2-6 months)

Once the consent threshold is met and a buyer secured, the CSC applies to the Strata Titles Board (STB) for a collective sale order.

5
Completion (3-6 months)

After STB approval, the sale completes and owners receive their share of the sale proceeds. Owners typically have 6 months to vacate.

Scoring Methodology

The en-bloc feasibility score rates each leasehold condo on a 0-100 scale using five weighted factors:

FactorMax PointsWhy It Matters
Building Age30Older buildings have higher land-to-building value ratios, making demolition viable
Lease Remaining25Shorter leases create urgency for owners and lower acquisition costs for developers
Unit Count20Fewer units = easier to reach 80% consent threshold
Location15Prime segments (CCR) command higher land values and developer bids
Plot Ratio10Higher allowable density means more sellable area after redevelopment

Verdicts: High (65-100) — strong candidate; Moderate (40-64) — some potential; Low (0-39) — unlikely in near term.

Note: Plot ratio data is not available in the current dataset. A mid-range assumption of 4/10 points is applied uniformly. Actual plot ratios vary by site and can be verified on the URA Master Plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is en bloc (collective sale)?
An en-bloc sale, or collective sale, is when all unit owners in a development sell the entire property to a developer as a single transaction. The developer typically demolishes the existing building and redevelops the site. This is governed by the Land Titles (Strata) Act in Singapore.
How is the en-bloc feasibility score calculated?
The score (0-100) is based on five weighted factors: Building Age (max 30 points) — older buildings score higher; Lease Remaining (max 25) — shorter leases increase urgency; Unit Count (max 20) — fewer units make consensus easier; Location Segment (max 15) — prime locations attract developer interest; and Plot Ratio (max 10) — higher density potential increases redevelopment value.
What makes a good en-bloc candidate?
Strong candidates typically have: a building age of 30+ years, lease remaining under 60 years, fewer than 200 units (easier to reach consent), a prime or fringe-central location (CCR/RCR), and high plot ratio potential. A score of 65 or above on our scale indicates High potential.
What is the consent threshold for en bloc?
For developments 10 years or older, owners holding at least 80% of share values and 80% of total area must agree. For developments under 10 years, the threshold is 90%. These thresholds are set by the Land Titles (Strata) Act.
How long does the en-bloc process take?
The entire process typically takes 12 to 24 months from CSC formation to completion. Key phases include: CSC formation (1-3 months), marketing agent appointment (1-2 months), gathering owner consent (6-12 months), STB application (2-6 months), and completion with vacancy (3-6 months).
