ALWAYS GO FOR FREE HOLD. lease hold, once ur lease over, u can renew for 99 years but u have to pay a substantial fee and what if gorv want develop the land there? free hold, no prb

Actually that's more of a myth... freehold also is not safe... if the government wants to they can invoke certain clauses and seize your property. I believe it's similar to the case that involved the owner of the Coliseum Theatre....

I remember the incident when the government tried to use a crooked law to rob the owner of his property and pay peanuts for a building worth millions.

It happened just last year...

you may claim it's a myth but come to resale value - freehold is always better than leasehold.
