Homes in Singapore include different lease periods:

30-year lease (HDB studio apartments)

60-year lease (private housings)

99-year lease (executive condominiums, private housings, all HDB flats except for studio apartments)

103-year lease (private housings) (Theses houses sit on freehold land owned by private developers.)

999-year lease (private housings)

Freehold (private housings)

*A land at Jalan Jurong Kechil is your initial 60-year-lease plot to be sold (on 15 November 2012) for residential development; thus 60-year-lease homes get available soon.

Most housings in Singapore either in the latter group freehold or 99-year lease, with messy making within the bulk.

A 999-year lease will be equivalent to freehold.

While 30-year-lease HDB studio apartments are available short supply and merely meant for elderly home buyers.

Private developments with a 103-year lease period (the lease period is determined by the developer) on freehold land are few and a lot between. At the expiry belonging to the lease, the non-governmental land owner have the right to re-acquire ground (i.e. reversionary right), sell the freehold tenure or extend the lease for their price.

Residential properties with 60-year lease aren’t available yet, but is in a few years’ time when development on the main 60-year leasehold residential land plot at Jalan Jurong Kechil is carried out.

Homes in Singapore are predominantly 99-year leasehold given that the government sells most arrives affinity at serangoon 99-year tenure due to land scarcity in this country. At the end of the lease period, the state can discover the land without any compensation into the home operators. Currently, the government doesn’t offer freehold land parcels for sales anymore, with the the sale of remnant State land to the adjoining landowner whose existing private land is already held under a freehold 7steps.

However, topping up within the lease of leasehold private housings is allowed.

Lessees may apply for a renewal among the lease the actual SLA (Singapore Land Authority). The granting of extension is on the case-by-case basis and seem considered if ever the development is actually in line with Government’s planning intentions, maintained relevant agencies, and just ends up with land use intensification, mitigation of property decay and preservation of community. If the extension is approved, a land premium, decided from your Chief Valuer, will be charged. The new lease will not exceed the original, however it will work as shorter for the original assaulted lease in accordance with URA’s planning intention.

In addition, near finish of the lease period the State may require the land to be returned in the original health conditions. If so, demolition of buildings, land fillings, and many others. will have to be borne by the current lessees.

For HDB flats, legally the flat will be returned to HDB at the end of this lease. HDB does n’t have to make any monetary compensation, or offer a fresh one flat to the owners. The owners may even be required to take out any fixtures fitting.
