99 years every body already dead. who cares

i thought it is more about, if you wanna sell it after 40 years. That time if freehold land maybe can get quadraple the price and can give the money to 4 of your kids.

Compared if u buy leasehold, after 40 years you wanna sell also hard.

They say if free hold, you can get ahold of that house and land forever. But with only ~1500sqft of land, is it really relevant?

if buy freehold high rise, it is even worse. In 99 years time you won't even know if that house is still livable or not.

Plus, if the leasehold area is highly developed residential area, will government simply take back the land and developed highway for example?

What are the disadvantages buying leasehold property actually for permanent stay, not flipper.

Why some of my friends/relatives is so against me buying leasehold?

Would you go for freehold instead and save around 100-200k?

Whether freehold or leasehold government can still take your land, it is called "Eminent Domain" (very worrying, like the other ED - "Erectile Dysfunction").

That's the reason why not everybody in the Klang Valley was against Kidex, their house was gonna get bought over at a good price ... then more houses were required and the project cost more than planned, which is what I believe actually stopped the project.

The people with the guns can always change the rules.

I not sure what difference also. But I assume lesser lease left is much harder to sell off because legally don have many years left to use the property.
I won't want to buy a house left only twenty years if I got about forty years to live on unless is very cheap.
