Lease Analysis

With 69 years remaining on its 99-year lease, HENLEY GARDENS still qualifies for full bank financing and CPF usage.

What Could Work Against You

  • About 69 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.
  • Only 2 transactions were recorded in the past 12 months, so the price figures here rest on a thin sample — a single outlier deal can move the averages.
  • At 36 units, this is a boutique development — fewer comparable sales to anchor valuations, and maintenance costs spread across a smaller fee base.
