pegasi 4th Gear August 28, 2018 Author Share August 28, 2018 Tackling the HDB 99-year lease issue: Are HIP and Vers the answers? PUBLISHED AUG 26, 2018, 5:00 AM SGT https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/easing-hdb-owners-anxieties The Straits Times August 26, 2018 Ten years ago, hospital support staff worker Patrick Lee toyed with the idea of selling his HDB terraced house – a rarity – located in Stirling Road and which has 49 years left on its lease. Convinced the house would be difficult to sell, he resigned himself to living there for the rest of his life. The situation with Mr Lee is an example of the anxieties that have surfaced among HDB home owners about 99-year leases and the diminishing worth of their homes, eventually expiring at zero value. To many Singaporeans, buying an HDB flat represents much more than a legal transaction and a means of shelter. And so came the government response – the measures such as the HIP II and VERS announced during the NDR to help to cushion the blow of the harsh reality, say observers.

pegasi 4th Gear August 28, 2018 Author Share August 28, 2018 The Big Read: HDB lease decay — Govt’s solutions ‘not perfect’, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel Read more at https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/hdb-99-year-lease-decay-singapore-government-solutions-10656310 SINGAPORE: When Mr Alan Ng, 50, moved from Ang Mo Kio to Marine Parade four years ago, he was hoping it would be a form of investment. But Mr Ng, whose estate will be among the first in Singapore to reach lease expiry in less than six decades, was among many Housing and Development Board (HDB) owners who got jittery when the Government made clear last year that not all old flats will be automatically eligible for the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (Sers), and their prices will come down as their leases dwindle. The HDB resale market was also spooked by the authorities’ comments as prices fell for six consecutive quarters, before inching up in the second quarter of this year. Following the National Day Rally (NDR) and the ensuing housing announcements, the mood of homeowners including Mr Ng has been somewhat lifted. Mr Ng said he feels more assured now, as the initiatives will “cushion” the depreciation of ageing flats, and help to protect their value. “It’s better than zero,” he said, referring to the prospect of his flat becoming worthless when the 99-year lease is up. Property agent Noor Ally, who is handling the sale of a flat at Chai Chee Avenue, agreed that the announcements have provided some comfort for several of his clients. “(They) know that there is still some value in their (ageing property). While they are still keen on selling, they also know that there are options - like possibly returning it to the Government (through VERS),” he added.
