need advice for tenure of property

[deljunks]

hi,
can i ask and get some views from ppl here.
am looking at a leasehold penthouse.
but one thing i find a bit pluzzled...
i saw that this condo tenure begin on 1998, top date 2006. legal completion 2009.
the agent told me this is a 3 year old project. which is true.
but given the lease starts on the 1998, will it in anyway affect the price say if compare to nearby project top in 2008, but lease start from 2004?
how do they calculate the amount to top up for the lease?
am not buying and hope for enbloc sort of deal. but cos saw the lease started 1998, and as of now, it is only a 3 years old condo, how will it affect me or the condo in general. will buyer or banks look at the start tenure or the top date?
is it a very important data for banks for valuation?
i believe some developer brought the peice of land at high price and wait for market to improve before launching the project. but will it in anyway affect the valuation, say if 10 years or 20 years down the road?
kindly comment.
thanks
please kindly advice.

TOP difference of 1 year not much diff.
But 8 years from leasing of land from president to construction to TOP is a bit long but acceptable. The nearby project 4 years seem alright but again, 4 years in diffenences of leasing between the 2 won't make much diff.

how do they calculate the amount to top up for the lease?

I copied from my another post. Miggle around. But dont bother much, usually such case no one top up.

For calculation of SLA LH depreciation; which all valuers applied as well as SISV standards & bank/developer;

In my opinion, both don't bother much. the loan period most likely will still outrun the tenure by 3 times.

is it a very important data for banks for valuation?

Part of, but 4 years could be neglected unless it is an old age property which then tenure come very important.

kindly comment.

When you say 10 or 20 years you refering to TOP already or launching?
the earlier will see some minimum diff. The later most likely the developer will top up the lease. My suggestion is don't think too much on the 4 years.
