For own stay (plus near to workplace). Double-storey terrace with renovation done. Both built around same time, similar size. <br />Is the freehold status worth the extra &#036;&#036;?<br /><br />Agents tell me leasehold is ok, can extend or even convert in the future, and a lot of units in the taman, so it would be political suicide if gov take back.. but I&#39;m not sure if they&#39;re just trying to make a sale.<br />If I stay in it for 15 years and then sell, banks won&#39;t likely to approve loan for 37 years leasehold house for next buyer right?<br /><br />Need help from sifus. whereisthecat Property Q&amp;A Thu, 22 Sep 2022 17:43:34 +0800
