as our country gets older, more cases like below will appear, and the well located buildings will be targeted because there is bigger earning potential for the developer. current technology allows for 50-60 storeys residential now or even higher. a developer can make A LOT OF MONEY can make by buying over old, well located 20 storey condo. in the below case the building is still in very good condition because of quality residents. still developers are offering to buy over to redevelop. in the scenario of a building becoming dilapidated, if the location is good, naturally developers will offer the landowners, simply because people need to make money. this applies to well located lh condo also, but i don't know enough to say whether lh status is a deterrent to developers and whether decades old lh will fetch a much lower land price than fh in the same location.
https://www.propertyguru.com.my/property-ne...se-sale-delayedThe 19-storey Desa Kudalari was developed by Tan & Tan Developments Bhd on 7.35 acres of freehold land, featuring 186 units.
CBRE-WTW deputy managing director Danny Yeo noted that the last transacted price in the project stood at RM1,250 psf in a sale done in 2015. The firm noted that prices in nearby projects stood at RM3,573 psf.
Based on CBRE-WTW’s calculations, the RM1,250 psf transacted price works out to a land price of RM960 psf.
This is a far cry from what unit owners could receive from the en masse sale, based on the indicative value of RM2,000 to RM3,500 psf.30+yrs old condo sold for 1.25k psf in 2015. i wonder how much a 30+ yrs lh condo here can sell?
and if owners finally choose a bidder and sell off as land, the profit is much higher than selling as condo unit.
let's say somehow you inherited a freehold KL pre war 99 years old strata residential building, it is in crap condition and low quality tenants. Are you telling me no difference to you if the land status was LH and your lease is ending in 6 months, can sell to who and for how much?
this could be your cucu cicit, pj could be status of kl in 99 years. maybe pj better than kl city?
True that, there is a difference I agree. However, the horizon of 99 years belong to your cucu cicit already, me and you is no more. They just inherit it from you so perhaps they can earn more or less from the sale. You still do not 'lose' anything. Why so chap cheuk? Your cucu cicit have their own life also, don't need to depend on your inheritance to survive (an example only).
The concept I keep hearing is that, resale value is most important. This is like car discussion. You have utilized the property to put a roof over your head, that is why you bought it. Resale value is secondary.
Anyway, sorry to hijack this thread. Just that this discussion is interesting to me. Will stop now.
