Hi, I am considering whether to buy a 13 yr old interterrace that's on 99 yr leasehold. It is the only housing in my choice location that meets my criteria for school, size, and budget of $1.3-1.4M.
I have 2 questions that require advice :
1. Will the value of such 99yr leasehold terrace hold? Say in 10-15 years time when property prices next peak? And if not, is it expected to decrease in value as opposed to FH terraces?
2. If I take on a bank loan based on prevailing valuation, and should property prices drop, say in 2-5 years time, and the valuation reduces significantly, will the bank require me to top up the different? Or can I carry on paying the mortgage based on the original loan terms?
