Hi,
Generally speaking, the concept is right. Buyers can only maximize their cpf and home loan usage if the flat can last them until 95 years old, otherwise the amount will be pro-rated to the extent it covers them till 95 years old, with the recent policy changes in May.
Consequently as you can imagine, the older the flat, the more the cash may be required by the buyer which limits your pool of buyers, resulting in theory a lower demand. It will be tougher to sell the flat as it gets older and this is before we even talk about the wear and tear of the condition of the property.
Notwithstanding the above, flats at very central locations are still quite popular with buyers as long as it doesn't cross the 40 year old mark. But the trend is starting to shift as more become more aware regarding the balance lease of flats and take into account when making the purchase.
I have transacted some older flats in Telok Blangah and Pandan Gardens, Toa Payoh before and will be happy to share further.
May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.
Warm Regards,
Ivan Ng Realtor
