"Leasehold landed properties may also be a better option if you are looking to lease the property out for rental income, as the tenure of the property does not matter to the tenant. You may also consider the purchase of a leasehold landed property to enjoy specific attributes of the property, for example, individual character, design of the house, immediate environment, local amenities and so forth.
However, one should be aware that, when the tenure of a leasehold property dips below 30 years, it may be difficult to sell the property, as prospective buyers are not able to secure a bank loan. According to the Central Provident Fund Board, buyers are not allowed to withdraw from their CPF when the tenure is less than 30 years.
In a perfect world, everybody would prefer to buy a freehold property for the better price performance, perpetual ownership and the better wealth preservation factors. But in the real world, we are faced with other factors or challenges, such as budget constraints, the availability or supply, individual needs, investment objectives, and so forth, so that a leasehold landed property may be a more suitable purchase."
If your LH is less than 30 yrs old for eg....there shouldn't be much concern and if you are buying new one, I myself don't expect to stay in it for 30 yrs...
