IRWELL HILL RESIDENCES IS A 99-YEARS LEASEHOLD

99-years leasehold development projects offer attractive advantages for the buyer, be it an own-stay purchase or an investment move.

99 Years Leasehold are in High Demand

With boutique Freehold projects making up the majority of new developments these days especially in traditionally prime districts like District 9, 10, and 11, a 99 Years Leasehold new development’s lower quantum price of atleast 15-20% of a Freehold property in the same area creates an attractive value and high demand for interested buyers.  

Not only is the 99 Years Leasehold a great option to avoid “freehold premium” and hefty luxury furnishings price tag from developers, its affordable prices allows buyers to have a reasonable outlay on their property purchase.  This certainly makes a difference for upgrading buyers, with the inclusion of ABSD (Additional Buyer Stamp Duties) since 2018, where 12% of a property’s price has to first be paid upfront even if the buyer has plans to sell their current property.  

99 Years Leasehold offer Great Value for Property Investment

In comparison with its freehold neighbors, the 99 years leasehold projects also hold excellent potential for capital appreciation, since a higher volume of transactions can be expected in Leaseholds than in Freeholds which are generally regarded for legacy building and passing down through generations.  Other factors such as initiatives outlined in the URA Master Plan for that particular district can also influence the appreciation value of the property.  

Investment buyers wishing to rent out their property will also enjoy expected higher rental yields for the 99 year leaseholds in prime districts – since the leasehold’s combination of prime district addresses and excellent property amenities allows them to demand rental rates competitive with the freehold properties while having made less capital commitment upfront for his leasehold compared to a freehold owner.
