It’s a common question many homebuyers ask when looking to buy a new launch condo: is freehold or leasehold a better choice?

While it may sound like a simple question on the surface, it is actually a very nuanced and deep one. One that is nearly impossible to answer. Ask any real estate expert, and they’ll tell you it’s like opening up a can of worms. We have attempted to answer it here, but in short, it all depends on the property.

It probably also doesn’t help that due to Singapore’s young age, we have a few examples of what happens when a lease runs out. In fact, it was only recently in December of 2020 when we saw the first residential lease expiry, and repossession by the state. And most leasehold condos that are getting old will attempt to go for a collective sale.

Therefore in this video, we will take a look at how freehold and leasehold new launch condos have performed, and see if there are any trends to pick up on.
