Why Must Renew Your LEASEHOLD Property




Leasehold properties generally see slower price growth than freehold properties especially after 30 years into the lease. This means that it is best to renew the lease early.

Although there isn’t any “best timing” to renew a lease, one should not wait until the lease has expired as it will then be more difficult to apply for an extension.

“The application for the renewal of the lease should be done before its expiry. If the lease has expired, [owner will need to submit] the application for a fresh alienation and this will incur a large amount of payment which could be similar to the amount for buying the land,”

If the owner does not renew the lease and lets it expire, the land shall revert to and be vested in the state authority upon the expiry of the tenure. The “expired” land is then available to any other people who want to apply for the ownership.

He noted that the owner of the property could send in the application to the state government to apply for extension but there is no guarantee that the renewal [of the lease] will be approved and the tenure duration might be different from the original.

He added that leasehold land belongs to the state government, thus every state has a different formula or rate of calculation of the premium to be paid. For instance, owners of leasehold land in Kuala Lumpur will need to pay a quarter of the land value multiplied with the number of years of the new lease, while Sarawak has a fixed amount on lease renewal.
