This message is to show calculation on returns for fh and 99 condo
2 condos next to each other, TOP same date.

Unit size -1000sf
-FH costs $1200psf -$1.2M
-99 costs $1000psf -$1M
Rental $4k same- Interest 4% based on last 20yr ave
Additional cost of FH is as follows
- capital $200k-
or interest of $8k per year
In 10 years time,- interest is $80k

In 20 years time,
- interest is $160k

In 20 years time, will the price difference between FH and 99 be more or less than $360k or $360psf or 36%?

If more, go for FH.
If less, go for 99

Based on the above assumption, so if after 50 yrs, should we go for "old" FH or "old" 99 yrs (which only left 49 yrs).:D

Nowaday no one really care for FH or LH, especially foreigner buyer from china, hong kong, etc. In HK, properties are 99 LH and china is ard 70 LH.

and after some years, developer can do a lease top up for leasehold property. you add on inflation etc ... price to go up in the long run... fh should not have run away price as the alternative is lh + price top up....

By chance, I came across a ppty advertisement. If I remember correctly, an owner trying to sell her pty ppty at S$180,000 which according to her left only 1 yr more. Now I try to retrieve the advertisement but couldn't find already, ah ya! I think her ppty must be very very old and is passed down from her ancestors.:beats-me-man:

From SLA. From the table, u can see the value of leasehold as a % of freehold when it comes to enbloc.http://www.sla.gov.sg/doc/ser/leasehold%20table.pdf

So it your leasehold condo has 1 year term left, it means that it is only worth 3.8% of the value of an equivalent freehold condo, which means either u or your enbloc developer need to pay up the rest of the 96.2% of the value of the land. In short, it is worth almost nothing.If your leasehold condo has 34 years left, you only get 63% of an equivalent freehold, and so forth. The developer will have to pay the govt the 37% for the lease topup. In short, you lost 37% of the value. That is why most leasehold condos rush to enbloc early, because the lease decay increase in an increasing rate.

bro, in theory FH is best lah. But LH99 prime land is usually next to MRT. Buy for rental pple just get best convenience in location. how do one rate which one is better than if we look at 10 year returns? LH might still outperform in returns but FH will have better holding value if really long term. But in reality, 30 years later pple will say its ugly facade and dont wanna buy. How? end up still go for cheaper option

that is how the gov want to earn $ from ppty... in reality HDB flat and inflation will do the trick + preference from buyer buying cheaper or newer projects....so buy buy buy & at premium price after enbloc... the economy keeps on going...on and on...

Neither. Go for new, 99 yrs or FH. Your FH will look really ugly after 50 yrs and new ones come with modern state of the art design and advanced features.

Those run down inter located at Lorong 3? Not worth the while. The total possible rental does not even hit twice the asking price.

Based on the assumption that $8K loss of opportunity cost of investing in FH:
In 30 years time, the FH should be selling at $240K (interest paid to bank) + $200K(capital diff) more than 99y condo.

In 30years time , using present value, if the FH is selling at same purchase price of $1.2M:
-if you think the 99y condo can sell at more than $760K which is 40% gap, than the 99y condo is better bet.
-If you think the price difference in 30years time is less than $440K, go for FH.

As for 50year old, then simply $200K + $400K = $600K benchmark.

I believe surely got some ulu 99lh cannot get enbloc until expiry but i guess govt wud allow a lease top up of prolly 30 yrs or so bcoz they will still nid to sell 99lh gls condos and there is a substantial number of ppl owning 99lh condos....so seriously dun tink govt will take bck the land jus like tat....so many displaced residents gona stay whr especially those retirees which may not hf money to get another hse and not possible for them to get a bank loan

Its actually those super prime 99lh which may not get lease top up even developer wana enbloc it bcoz govt may wana take bck the land for other purposes rather den residential

Enbloc proceeds should be higher for freehold right?? So if condo side by side, same TOP ceteris paribus, LH if selling at 1k psf, What is the max premium that you guys are willing to pay for the FH?? $1.1kpsf??

If everything being equal which is impossible in reality bcoz siteplan,layout,view,orientation,furnishing,facade,concept r different..... i will pay 20% more for fh over lh

good points.. so maybe we should also look at projects ard 1000 units LH to ensure government really take care of them....its 3000 votes or voices...gov cannot just walk away.

Is it true that if the LH99 pte condo gets older and older, the resale value will drop. How about the FH, is it the same also?

20% difference between new 99LH and FH. But as the LH run out, the % difference will logically become larger. That's why I advocate FH for long term investments.:)

Not a flipper by nature leh.... partly due to laziness, unwillingness to let transaction cost eat into gains and inability to time markets....:(
