Lease Analysis

With 73 years remaining on its 99-year lease, COMPASS HEIGHTS still qualifies for full bank financing and CPF usage.

What Could Work Against You

  • About 73 years remain on the lease. Decay is not yet a financing problem, but buyers holding beyond 10-15 years should model the value drag as the 60-year threshold approaches.

Who This Actually Suits

The profile fits families with young children, mrt-walkable commuters and yield-focused investors best. Family-suitable layout and OCR (Outside Central Region) location with established school catchments nearby.

For empty nesters / downsizers, it can work — but weigh the trade-offs before committing.

long-term hold (10+ yr) and cpf-only buyers should probably look elsewhere. Tenure and location resilience suit long-horizon ownership.

One caution flagged here: avoid if mrt-dependent — MRT access is meaningfully constrained — transit-dependent buyers should consider better-connected alternatives.
