Hi all

I have been offered an option for two properties:

1) Freehold, 4 bedroom, 1800sqft
2) Leasehold (99 years remaining), 4 bedroom, 2300sqft

Both are the same price, both in the same location (around 2min drive between them), similar facilities but option 2 is 1 year older (both are new and completed this year and last year)

At what point, in your guys opinion, is the crossing point where it makes leasehold more worth it?

I have always been against leasehold and opt for freehold, because of the sale price in future and also because the demand will be a lot lower when I come to sell.

This is for own stay, not for investment and I expect to stay there around 5-10 years

My question is that the RM/sqft for the Leasehold is a lot lower and the space is a lot bigger for the same price, but the downside is it is leasehold. Does the cheaper RM/sqft and bigger space make it worthwhile to go for leasehold with all the problems it has?
