永久地契

释义

名词

一种产业所有权，持有者拥有完全的管制权，并能永久享有并使用该土地。

DEFINITION

Noun

Property ownership in which the owner can enjoy and use the land in perpetuity.

由来

19世纪时期，英国殖民地政府已对新加坡的土地进行分类，其中包括永久地契。当永久地契持有者去世后，所有他持有的土地将转交给死者的私人代表。现今房地产转让和资产法法令 (Conveyancing and Law of Property Act) 仍这么规定。
永久地契，顾名思义，使用期是永久的，但在寸土如金的新加坡，这项永久权必须仰赖各种因素，其中包括政府是否要征地。

ETYMOLOGY

In the 19th century, the British colonial government began classifying land ownership in Singapore. Freehold property was one of the classifications. When a freehold property owner passed away, the property would be passed on to a representative of the deceased. Currently, this still holds under the Conveyancing and Law of Property Act.
Freehold property means that the property ownership is permanent. However, in land-scarce Singapore, this is subject to other factors, such as whether the Government decides to acquire private land.

例句

SAMPLE SENTENCE
