Freehold lease condos are the most common types of tenure in Singapore. A freehold property simply means that the tenure of land or property can be held by the owner indefinitely while a leasehold property reverts to the state upon the expiry of its contracted lease. However, there are still provisions that allow the government to reclaim the land of any freehold property. The freehold position will give way if the development is in the way of a major expressway and in the possibility of a successful en-bloc attempt. In theory, freehold properties should fetch a better, higher price during an en-bloc redevelopment as the owners are giving up more. Having said that, the advantage of freehold is more theoretical than practical as it is difficult to isolate which factors, location or tenure type, that contributes to property value. This article would list out some of the best freehold condos in Singapore offered by Centaline Property.
