有期地契房产一般在租期过了30年之后，资产增值幅度就会开始放缓，这也意味着业主该考虑申请延长租期了。 Messrs Amir Toh Francis & Partners 事务律师Ivan Chan表示，申请延长有期地契租期没有所谓的最佳时机，但业主必须谨记的是，切勿等到租期过期后才申请延长，因为到时候的手续将更为繁琐。 他在早前的Maspex 2018房产展销会上的专题演讲中说：“延长有期地契租期的手续应该在到期前申请，若是已经过期，那么就得重新申请地契转让，这么做的话将涉及更昂贵的费用，这笔费用甚至可能就像是在买地。” 如果有期地契租约已经到期，而且业主没有展开任何行动，相关物业的产权将自动归州政府所有，并且可以开放让其他人申请拥有。 他指出，业主提出延长申请不一定会被批准，即便获得批准，延长期限或许也会比原来的租约期限来得短。 他续称，有期地契房产的土地拥有权归州政府所有，且各州对有期地契的租期延长申请拥有不同的审核标准与程序，涉及的费用也各异。 如果业主的申请获得批准，也必须在限期内缴交更新租期的费用，否则在逾期后，业主必须重新申请。 一般上，州政府拒绝申请的理由，大多是相关土地将被征作公共设施或大型基建项目的发展用地，或是作为国家紧急计划用途。 英文版原文已于2018年10月5日刊登于EdgeProp.
