After 15 to 20 years, most condominiums or apartments are so run down that it makes no difference whether it is freehold or leasehold - nobody wants to take over or buy unless it is dirt cheap. Different story when it comes to landed - better to have freehold as most owners will sell or renovate after 10 to 15 years.

Yup. My friend buy leasehold landed below 6 month already can get key.

where is your place?
y so long?

I think China is 70yrs..
In Spore, either 99 or 999yrs..and their car also "leasehold", 10 yrs only

Its a condo in selangor... the owner havent get strata title... need to do double transfer... have no idea when can get my keys...

Not easy to invoke such law unless the state government prepare for backflash. I m not sure what they mean land value and not property value.

measurement are:

a) Compensation to be paid must not be only for the Land taken; and
b) Compensation to be paid must also be for other losses suffered in consequence of the compulsory acquisition of the Land.

Lease hold less than 60 years , new buyer difficult to get loan from most of the bank .

also remember the state and federal government can be taken to court or can be sue.

If bank can solve this issue and our g can shorten the time of double transfer, subsale definitely can significant increase!

Agreed!!

Dont think high rise building can last for 99 years, so why bother?

Anyone here know about leasehold properties in oversea, usually how long can it be done in transferring that lease to another?

wah u made me want to open a thread:

In 15 years, what will happen to your high rise, rental and capital appreciation.

In 15 years, what will happen to your landed, rental and capital appreciation.


Imho, for landed in 15 years, rental will keep up with your installment and also capital appreciation especially those fng and gng. for high rise, rental roi can be a bit high but will stagnant and may stop altogether if the building is not maintained properly (malaysia maa). capital appreciation would have stopped yearsss ago.

But for landed in Selangor still got many rent out less than montly installment!
RM1100-RM1500 only

old landed u are referring to. Nowadays ppl who rent prefer lifestyle concept living as well, condo used to offer that a lot. However with the rise of lifestyle community concept in landed properties, the rent for these kind of landed will catch up to condo.

However, old landed have good appreciation typically based in good location and own stayer can always demolish and rebuild. Rental ROI, not so much unless you found some hidden gem which sell at reasonable market price. I have 40 yo landed which is rented out and covers installement...

Freehold landed is a gem!

I dont mind buy leasehold. As long that property produce good income. And above 60 years.

The problem is cant find hidden one . Sigh !

Some people buy a "ugly" single storey bungalow in good lacation then demolish it and build a new 3 storey bungalow!

The essence is you can't buy surrounding environment, I call it X-Value
You can spend 10 mil to rebuild yr mansion, but your neighbour is still a single storey damn ugly bungalow
The truth is lot of new bungalows built by owner himself are old fashion, ugly

My Fren bought a piece of bungalow land measured 6K l/a, designs and builds his own bungalow, he purchases all the building materials and engage foreign workers to do, he claims that he saves 500K on building cost, total spend 1.0 mil in building, but in my eye, the building is very hard to sell even it is brand new, it only worth max 500K in the eye of a new purchaser, it is very hard to sell if the bungalow is old fashion

My advise : my fr developer, it synchronize all the pattern

WOW! This is very very good way of looking at leashold. I never thought about it that way. 99 years, land scarce population increase..inflation some more. So dont care if leasehold or freehold. Just buy. Just pray that the government dont take the land.
