i am curious, when private residential or industrial properties reach year-zero, do they have to demolish and return bare land to the state?
 
Fucking liar. Nowadays HDB only allows a sale transaction to the new owner only if the lease remaining will allow him to live in the unit until he is 94 years old.
Many do not realise the implications. Your hdb unit will go to zero value and will be unsaleable once it hits 50 years.

So correct me if I am wrong, based on a leasehold unit that is 50 years old with 49 years lease remaining, must allow the person who took over the lease to live in unit till 94 years old. In that case, the person taking over the lease =<45 years old, am I right? I really didn't know this.

Update: Thank you for the info. I verified and it is correct. Thanks.

Got 50 year old HDB flat exist?
 
always read the fine print embedded in and appended to superfluous essays. operative phrase is “esp earlier in the leasehold period.” psychological barrier is typically 69 years left in lease. once sinkies reach the midpoint it’s literally the point of no return(s).
