Your flat is approaching a key resale threshold

Your block has 70 years of lease left. Today, buyers can still get full CPF and bank loans — no restrictions. But once the lease drops below 65 years, buyers who purchase now will struggle to resell after their MOP. The closer you get, the smaller your buyer pool becomes.
