Real estate prices in Taipei remain high and Taipei's rental return is among the lowest in the world, just over 1 per cent, UBS said yesterday. Investment in Taipei real estate should be cautious.

UBS held the 2014 Outlook Media briefing. Pu Yonghao, chief investment officer of UBS Wealth Management Asia Pacific, issued a warning about real estate in emerging Asia.

Real estate in Asia (excluding Japan) is likely to face deleveraging, he said, and cooling measures and new supply by governments pose adverse risks to the Asia-Pacific housing market.

He estimates that housing prices in Hong Kong and Singapore will fall by 10% to 15% and 3% to 6% respectively this year.
