Own a market, not just a unit.
A Singapore advisory that sources, vets and shepherds overseas property — from London to Tokyo — for investors who want a second market without a second headache. Independent advice, one desk, four countries.
A concierge way to invest abroad
Most Singaporeans meet overseas property at a hotel seminar, get sold one development on the night, and are left alone the moment they sign. We are built the other way round. We start with your situation — your budget, your reason, your appetite for distance and currency — and only then bring you a shortlist worth your time.
Then we stay. One Singapore desk coordinates the lawyer, the currency, the financing, the lettings and the overseas tax filings in four countries, so a foreign-language form is never your 2am problem. It is a relationship, not a transaction.

Developers, lawyers, lettings & currency partners we work with
The case for a second market
Singapore property is excellent — and it is one city, one currency, one policy regime. A carefully chosen overseas asset spreads that risk and side-steps the ABSD ceiling on a second home here.
Diversify beyond one small island
Singapore property is excellent — and it is one city, one currency, one policy regime. A second market spreads that risk across economies and tenant pools that do not move in lockstep with home.
Side-step the ABSD ceiling
Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty makes a second or third Singapore home expensive to acquire. The same capital, deployed overseas, can buy more income-producing floor area without that surcharge.
Earn in another currency
Rental income in GBP, AUD, JPY or MYR is a natural hedge — useful if you have school fees, a property or a retirement plan denominated in that currency down the line.
A foothold where life may take you
A child at university, a posting abroad, a slower-paced retirement — owning ahead of the move turns a future plan into a present asset that earns while it waits.
Four markets we know intimately
We keep the shelf short on purpose. Each market below is one we have lawyers, lettings partners and a personal track record in — not a brochure of twenty countries we know none of.
Curated properties
A handful of vetted projects across our four markets, each with an indicative entry price and gross-yield range. Fictional developments shown for this demo.
United Kingdom Curated pick Ancoats Yard
Manchester · Studio – 2 bedA canalside regeneration block in Manchester's Ancoats district — the city's strongest rental corridor.
Australia Curated pick Southbank Quarter
Melbourne · 1 – 2 bedA Southbank tower minutes from Melbourne's universities and CBD — built for the student-and-professional let.
Japan Curated pick Shibuya Court
Tokyo · Studio – 1 bedA compact freehold apartment a few stops from Shibuya — fully tenanted, income from day one.
Northcrest Care, end to end
From sourcing a project to filing your overseas-landlord tax, here is what a Northcrest engagement actually covers.
Sourced, not listed
We do not list whatever a developer pushes. Every project on our shelf is one we have walked, stress-tested on paper and would put our own clients into — which is why the shelf is short.
Independent due diligence
Title, developer track record, building management, local tax and the real all-in cost — checked before you ever wire a deposit, by people who answer to you, not the seller.
End-to-end, one desk
Lawyers, currency, financing, lettings and tax filings in four countries, coordinated from one Singapore desk, so you are never left holding a foreign-language form at midnight.
Honest numbers
Indicative yields, currency exposure and the costs other people bury in the small print — laid out plainly, so the figure you decide on is the figure you live with.
The Investment Match Finder
Pick a budget, a market and an objective and see an indicative match — a market, a project type, an entry price and a projected yield range. A starting point for a real conversation, not a recommendation.
Indicative only — not advice or an offer. Figures are drawn from recent comparable transactions and current letting data, and real returns depend on the specific unit, building, occupancy, currency and costs. Northcrest is a fictional demo brand built by SGBP.
Singapore investors on Northcrest
I had been burned by a property "seminar" that sold me a unit and vanished. Northcrest did the opposite — talked me out of one project, into a better one in Ancoats, and set up the lettings and the HMRC filings. Two years on it just runs, and Lena still picks up when I call.
We bought ahead of our daughter starting at Melbourne Uni. Marcus handled the FIRB approval and was honest that the yield would be modest — it was the growth and the family use we wanted. She lives in it now; one day we might too.
A freehold apartment in central Tokyo for less than a condo deposit here, fully tenanted from day one. I do not read a word of Japanese — Yuki handled every form and the tax agent. Income lands in my account and I have never once felt out of my depth.
KL was my first step overseas because I could drive up and see it. Northcrest steered me away from an oversupplied tower I had my eye on, into a better-managed building near KLCC. Honest advice over commission — that is rare, and it is why I sent two friends to them.
