*A land affinity at serangoon Jalan Jurong Kechil is most important 60-year-lease plot to be sold (on 15 November 2012) for residential development; thus 60-year-lease homes will be available soon.
Most housings in Singapore either in the latter group freehold or 99-year lease, with however making within the bulk.
A 999-year lease is practically equivalent to freehold.
While 30-year-lease HDB studio apartments are available short supply and are merely meant for elderly those resident.
Private developments with a 103-year lease period (the lease period is dependent upon the developer) on freehold land are few and much between. In the expiry of the lease, the non-governmental land owner have the right to re-acquire the right time (i.e. reversionary right), sell the freehold tenure or extend the lease of a price.
Residential properties with 60-year lease aren’t available yet, but will be in several years’ time when development on preliminary 60-year leasehold residential land plot at Jalan Jurong Kechil is finished.
Homes in Singapore are predominantly 99-year leasehold given that the government sells most arrives at 99-year tenure due to land scarcity in the united states. At the end of the lease period, the state can discover the land without any compensation into the home owners. Currently, the government doesn’t offer freehold land parcels for sales anymore, besides the sale of remnant State land to the adjoining landowner whose existing private land is already held within freehold title.
However, topping up of the lease of leasehold private housings is allowed.

The granting of extension is on the case-by-case basis and are considered generally if the development inside line with Government’s planning intentions, sustained by relevant agencies, and usually means that land use intensification, mitigation of property decay and preservation of community. In case the extension is approved, a land premium, decided along with Chief Valuer, will be charged. The new lease will not exceed the original, that’s why will be the shorter for the original or the lease based on URA’s planning intention.
In addition, near the end of the lease period the State may have to have the land become returned in the original considerations. If so, demolition of buildings, land fillings, numerous others. will have to be borne by the current lessees.
For HDB flats, legally the flat will be returned to HDB in the end for this lease. HDB does don’t have to make any monetary compensation, or offer a fresh one flat towards owners. The owners may be also required to get any fixtures fitting.
