thank you for your kindly reply...actually i'm planning to buy a house with leasehold status...the location is perfect and the price is good. but it only got 50 years left....after read all the reply i'm not sure whether it's a wise decision to buy this kind of house...

you ask bank loan first. leasehold period too shot they usually don't want to loan. 50 years is short in bank term because after 30years you pay they only have 20 years left ... so check with bank first. icon_idea.gif

Make sure the price has been reflected. Price of 50-year lease should be lower than price of house with say 70-year lease remaining.

Where is your location.

if in pj, go ahead.
renewal is just a token sum.

if in penang, also go ahead, option to renew is quite transparent, fast and easy.

others, please do own due diligence.

Boss Kochin,
not only which state is important. timing is also important. my relative's leasehold land in pahang done just before GE13 so does some parcels of leasehold lands in perak state.
my 2cents...

Fees is equivalent of your house market value, take some time to covert.

not house market value.
land value.

you cannot convert your property to leasehold or freehold.
only the land is converted.

Well, Shang Villa in Kelana Jaya managed to convert to freehold for some odd reason.

Frankly I transacted quite a number if Shang Villa condos, I was told by the JMB tat the reason for them to appeal Shang Villa for conversion is becoz Shang Villa is surrounded by freehold lands, and not likely gomen has any mega public project which may acquire Shang Villa's land in the future.

I am reviving this thread now following the news in Negeri Sembilan where Leasehold properties can be converted to freehold now, albeit only one under each owner.

Anyone has any information on the procedure?

Why can't residents/loyal tax-paying citizens who had been living on LH land for generations hv their land converted to FH? Thr is NONE WHATSOEVER legal justification for it not to be done!

PH must take up this issue.

Leasehold can convert to freehold?? You are serious?? at what price? it's almost like you sign tenancy agreement to rent a home and later can convert as owner?

Maybe possible if u pay full price of land?
