The Million Dollar Question: Will My HDB Flat Go To ZERO After 99 Years?
Probably one of the biggest questions most HDB buyers have is: what happens when the 99-year lease is up? Does it just go down to zero? Or will you have the option of extending the lease?
A recent discussion on Reddit focused on this very question and on some possible alternatives. It’s an especially pertinent question at this point in 2022, with resale flat prices at record highs, and no less than 259 flats selling for $1 million or more last year. Have Singaporeans truly processed the significance of the 99-year lease limit; and is there a better way?

    It's all in the hands of the garment. If they want to suck money from you, they will ask you to top up hugh amount of money when lease run out. To reset to another new 99 Yr lease when it reaches 0 Yr. If they want to support you, they give you SERS. But garment already hinted that SERS will be slowly phased out and replaced by VERS which is useless as little benefit will be given. So therefore I said, whether your property is left to decay and rotten, or whether it is given the chance to re born itself all lies in the hands of our garment.

    $0 would be fair only if the value of leasehold properties is directly correlated to the remaining lease. For example at 99 years balance lease the value of the flat should be the highest then at 49 years old its value halves, then $0 when lease expires. If someone buys a 49 years old HDB flat for half the price of a HDB flat with 99 years balance lease then it would be fair, but in reality there's 40 years old HDB flats selling for a million dollars, which means although these HDB flats are ageing their values are still going up for now. This is why $0 is problematic because instead of the value decaying over a period of 99 years, its highest value point often isn't at 99 years balance lease. Pegging the value of leasehold properties directly to its remaining lease may be unrealistic as various factors can negate the price depreciation effects of lease decay like location, inflation, etc, which is why after year 2000 when BTO sizes started shrinking, people started paying higher prices for 1990s or older flats with larger sizes, resulting in the inverse effect of older HDB flats increasing in value.

    Just to add on- from HDB source. Sers is 3-4% of the HDB housing population and only popular areas. To Clarify make it clearer - A replacement flat is just letting you to choose another BTO flat (you still have to pay for it) not free. All can be found black and white in HDB. Past rally, LSH mentioned and states they want HDB to be demolished and rebuilt which cost is cheaper than maintaining and keeping it so chance of gov letting extension happen it’s not possible :) cheers!

    No need to wait until 99 years because when crossing the 50 years mark the value depreciate, the pipes are worn, the flooring crack, the design are out of dated, family unit is getting smaller and Singapore is running out of land to build more HDB. Some dont even want to wait for 99 yrs if given a choice to en bloc.

    As such, only 50 HDB flat blocks will be allowed to stay on until the end of the lease. The majority of the HDB flats, will have to be en-bloc and being replaced which involves phasing out of old estates. This is what it has been done in Tampines Court, Tanglin Halt and Florence Regency before. So, if it reaches the end of lifespan, do the procedure of buying the house, moving out, cancellation of power supply and change of NRIC address. Renting a house or stay with others should be done at last resort.

    Great video & thanks for discussing this very important issue. I wish the govt is leading the discussion about solutions etc instead of keeping quiet about it. One of the govt's claims for their successful leadership is their ability to provide home ownership to the majority of the population. When the lease runs out for many blocks / estates built in the 1970s or 1980s, if the govt is going to displace a part of the population without offering alternative solutions, they're going to either have a riot on their hands or the homeless on the streets, so I hope they're thinking hard and working hard on it.

    Maybe a good middle ground is at the 0 year mark, give a final +20/30 year lease top up scheme where existing owners will pay upfront additional lease but can no longer resell the flat or resell the flat to new owners who also get the additional lease top up but also can no longer resell the flat. Upon passing, balance lease will be returned to the NOK and HDB can use as rental flats. This way there is some price discovery in the cost of the additional lease, an option for the residents and certainty to the people, all while ensuring our land isn't under utilised.

    @@StackedHomes Lets say you're single, so you can only buy at 35. (Which basically means resale because you ain't getting a BTO at 35). Definitely will take the full 30 years repayment if its resale. because prices are ridiculous and as a single, you will get minimal grants. You'd be 65 with an empty retirement fund that didn't get to compound interest. Huat ah.. But ah, prices start depreciating drastically after 50 years... which is where you're at if you bought resale. So if you sell, you lose money and won't be able to afford a new house. And if you don't sell your house, you'd need to keep working past 70 to live out your final 5 years. 4G leadership: Not my problem. I'll be gone by then. 🤣

    Lease renewal is not a good option as the building and interior would have age. A better scheme is for HDB to use rent per month to compensate the owners. For eg 20yrs remaining for a 4room HDB which can command a rental of $1200, the payout would be $288K, owner(s) can use the money and leave with kids to retire or buy a HDB studio flat. HDB then takes back the land and redevelop with another new lease of 99yrs to sell to new couples....

    As sentiments of some AMK residents have shown SERS is no longer viewed positively. The issues, of VERS, highlighted by you, are actually happening to the AMK SERS. The future VERS may divide the residents (similar to incidents which had happened to some condo being en-bloc). Whether VERS or extension of lease beyond the 99 years (provided the infrastructure holds up), it will always be politically charged because of the promise of an asset enhancement scheme by the ruling Govt. What is your opinion of a public housing cum retirement village model? Not only are we experiencing an aging population but also increasing number of elderly with no relatives to take care of them during their final years. Hence, a scheme to exchange existing HDB flat for a govt managed retirement apartment / room with amenities such as health care (physiotherapy, dialysis etc) and activity centres located within the "village" yet with some element of "independent living" / active aging. Will this be a better option for the aging population to exchange their bigger flat for better facilities?

    You raise a really valid point to think more about! The recent AMK SERS has highlighted that not everyone is pleased with it. Now as the lease difference increases since flats only get older, the topic of "topping up" will rear its ugly head again and again. The HDB has to think of ways to push for nation building while not putting Singaporeans at such hardship. Perhaps this would be a topic we'll explore - the idea on facilities does make sense and is worth exploring, but in the end we think it just boils down to space and location.

    The only real solution is for the lease to never appreciate, and only depreciate in line with the remaining lease. A BTO price should be it's peak price in a flat's lifetime. That covers literally everyone except speculators.

    If the family had money to burn paying so much for a property with a low remaining leasehold, then they shouldn't complain. They should have done their homework first and not have been swayed by sweet sales talk. I doubt they'd have bought the property with their eyes closed.

    Why is it not fair? The terms are clear. You enter into the agreement when you purchase it. No one has forced the buyer to pay that price. You’re not forced to buy it, you can walk away and pay for something else. It’s ridiculous to cry that it’s “not fair”. What are you? 5 years old?

I pity those owners that had never been able to move house cos of many restrictions abt moving to new homes or change to smaller ones cos of bank loans for senior ... only 3 to 4 rooms low and average income home owners gov should forcast .. many reall are force to rent their rooms out for survival....not for extra cash for enjoyment

    HDB is for affordable housing, not for investment/profit. What is so hard to understand? HDB is already heavily subsidied using taxpayer's money which are meant for the needy who can't afford basic neccessities, not for HDB owners to earn profit. Want to profit? use your *own* money to *invest* and not *taxpayers' money*. Simple as that.

    There is some serious mis-information about your video. You make the assumption that depreciation of HDB in the coming yrs will not nose dive. Wrong. This was true in those decades ago but if you look at the real number of flats built from 1980 to late 1990s, this is where the sheer large number of flats were built back then. To give a estimate which someone did research into the numbers , it was well over 550,000 flats of all types, having lease shorter or less than 60 yrs in 15 yrs from now. With such numbers ,the gov sure would not be able to offer any viable rescue package for these group of folks but for them to eithier sell it off cheap, if they can or do lease buy back scheme by HDB with is subject to their approval. Eithier way, most of these owners only have that one roof over their heads and it is not that after selling off their old HDB, they can afford to retire and live elsewhere. As to extending their lease with a top up sum, most of these flats already have serious maintanence issues as in such older flats and doing so might be penny wise pound foolish and have consequences that goes way more than dollars and cents( eg collapse of concrete sturctures which did happen). For those who have not woken up to these facts and are owners of such units, i guess the right analogy for them would be like a ostrich sticking its head in the sand and what they don't see or hear, would not affect them!!😆😆😆😆😆

    Hi! We need to consider that the older folks who are living in these flats will pass on, and these HDBs would be willed to any of their loved ones left behind. Due to how strict HDB ruling is, the HDB may need to be disposed of since the children would likely have their own place. For the folks who start seeing their HDB depreciate in value, it may be the case of not needing to sell and retire elsewhere too, as the HDB already provides a roof over their head and is all they really need. In the end, the HDBs cost over its lifetime would still be cheaper than paying rent elsewhere, up until perhaps the last few years of its life when the monthly cost of the property gets closer to the rental value. Of course when the property price would start to nosedive is a mystery as it hasn't happened yet, but the price depreciation wouldn't "nosedive" in the sense that 10% of the value drops in 1 year. It'll likely depreciate over the years at an accelerating until it reaches 0, with the new buyers of old property going in well aware that prices are moving down in this fashion. So we think the scarier part is that younger folks are buying these really old HDBs - and if they do this hoping for a price increase, then it would be very risky and I would say that's akin to burying one's head in the sand and hoping for things to work out. If they're buying with their eyes open knowing that money should be made elsewhere, not from their HDB, then that's okay. But for the older folks who are already staying there, they'll likely not outlive the remaining lease so they aren't as naive as one would think. After all the minister already said it'll go to $0 when the lease is up 😂 It's just something people have to / or have accepted.

    1. I think HDB will demolish flats after 99 yrs and re-built new flats for a much larger profit. After 99yrs HDB can take back the flats at $0 cost. 2. Re-selling old flats after 99 yrs, the profit is low for HDB and lease needs to be extended. 3. The structural integrity of the building might be at risk, leaking, concrete spalling, etc. after 99 yrs. 4. By 99 yrs I will be re-located to Haven Development Board (HDB) for sure. 😇 …or Hell Development Board.👹
