In a land scare country like S'pore occupying about 700sqkm and with apopulation of about 4.68M. Is it true that 85% dweller living in HDB, 12% living in condos & pte apt while Top-Notch 3% S'porean living in Land-Titles Landed property? In Fact, 1.5% FH, 1% 999yrs LeaseHold & 0.5% 99yrs LeaseHold? Why nowadays, government never have land sales which is FreeHold & when they acquire FH property, they put through land sales as 99yrs LeaseHold? Is It mean FreeHold Landed Property will be very very limited & talk of the town in year 2008?

Hi Albert, I agree with you that through time Freehold properties will be reduce in number gradually. As you have said when govt. acquire freehold land, they put them on tender on leasehold term. The talk of the town on the 1st half of the year is escalating property prices which we have never seen before. Wonder where the property prices are heading. With the current financial crisis, the prices of property seems to be slightly softer. Read More

FH & 999 yrs properties are Pre-PAP. It is true that FH is sought after. However, with more and more residential land sold as 99yrs, the price gap is narrowing. The main advantage of a FH land is in it's perceive value. That value is diminishing over time especially when balance lease can be top-up.

A wise investor will not over pay for FH properties. Call me if you like to know more about value investment.

    SLA reject the application of the Arcadia condo for a lease top-up despite obtaining 100% support from the owners. SLA's decision has also turned the spotlight on other ageing 99LH condos like Lutheran Towers, One Tree mansions & Hollandswood Court. So Kevin, u r an expert, pls help all those owners who r desperate to top-up their lease like u say u just need to pay & definitely u will get your ageing condos to renew back to 99LH

    Hi Kevin, i'm not a wise investor, i'm only a small scale developer who own 5 FH land-title landed pty. My immediate instinct tell me that in the near future, only the top-notch 3 per cent S'porean prefer 2 own FH Land-Title landed pty b'cos of the status where they want 2 b as close rank as 2 Who's who like our Ministers, our top-notch developers, our top-notch bankers & etc. The main reasons being like u say from now on, government won't release any more FH or 999LH land, so those who own FH or 999LH will hv d final say as 2 determine whether it is S$2000psf or S$4000psf, as for d 99LH land, it is so common throughtout S'pore , the gap between FH, 999LH & 99LH will be widen tremendously, unless u r like me as a Landed pty developer u know where u stand but not so as a pty agent.

There will no longer be GLS for freehold property moving forward, and with residential property prices skyrocketing through the roof, I won't be surprise that future GLS for residential homes can be sold for 60years instead of 99years. This allow the government to better plan for developments moving ahead with shorter tenure too, in order to reach to market and economic changes.

Demographics have changed greatly and if you are looking out for brand new freehold developments, you will need to monitor the enbloc market closely to follow which are the freehold developments that have been bought over by developments and see when the launch will be. Government will no longer launch freehold land for sale.

As you have mentioned, in land scarce Singapore, having all freehold land will result in major headaches for the authorities to plan for improvements and react according to market demands. Leasehold developments allow the government to plan ahead 50 to even 90 years down the road as it ensures that they will have ready land in future for repurposing or redevelopment. Read More
