📅 Lease & CPF Age-95 rule
A 99-year lease commencing in 1970 leaves about 43 years in 2026.
The youngest buyer whose age plus the remaining lease reaches 95 is 52 (52 + 43 = 95); for younger buyers CPF usage is reduced. CPF usage is in any case capped by the valuation and withdrawal limits.
The lease start is a verified figure from HDB's resale registrations for this block. HDB records a lease commencement year, not a date, so the remaining lease is approximate (within about a year). CPF usage also depends on the purchase price, the valuation, the property type and loan circumstances. HDB's lease record for a flat is the one that counts, so check it before buying. See CPF's guidance on using CPF for a home purchase.

HDB records the registration month, not the exact day, so sales within the same month are listed from highest to lowest registered price. HDB's public register is indicative: it excludes certain non-market transactions, and it is not a valuation, because floor, view, condition, renovation and cash-over-valuation all move the price of a particular flat.
