but actually for 66 years.... its quite close to where the authority willing to open up for renewal also already which is around 60 years... but usually renewal need take long time... maybe one to two years though... the risk is there... but you can't keep emphasize like the developer sure cant get approval like that...
For everyone reference ..
“THE LAWS STATE…
In Malaysia, land laws are governed by the National Land Code 1965 (Act 56 of 1965). In Section 40 of the National Land Code, 1965, it mentions that all state land belongs to the state authority. Leasehold land belongs to the state and therefore, conceptually, when you purchase a property tied to a lease, you are only buying the right to live there. You will not own the land or any building/s on it, and you are only allowed to reside there for the stipulated timeframe.
WHEN THE LEASE EXPIRES…
When a lease reaches its end, the land is reverted back to the state authority, including any construction on it. Therefore, in order to continue residing on it, the 'owner' will need to either apply for a renewal of the lease before its expiry, or in a situation where the lease has already expired, apply for a fresh alienation.
Consent from state authorities (Land Office) may be required before any extension or renewal of a lease can go through. Although it is uncommon, the state has the right to deny approval of extensions and renewals.
In the case where the owner does not renew the lease and lets it expire, the land will be reverted back to the state government and be available to any other person who would like to apply for ownership.
ITS MARKETABILITY…
Property valuers say that the value of a leasehold property typically goes down when the lease period is coming to an end. The reason for this is because there may be complications related to the lease renewal and in obtaining a bank loan. This affects the property's marketability.
Most property consultant's note that the value of 99-year leasehold properties as well as freeholds ones tend to go up at around the same level for about the first 30 years. After this 30-year period, the value of leasehold properties stagnate and eventually depreciate until the lease expires. Freehold properties on the other hand, go through a more stable growth, provided all other aspects of the property are in good condition.
Sources from financial institutions explain that most banks can confidently lend on leasehold properties, provided they have at least 75 years left on the lease. “
