Singaporean charity Leap201 is advocating for changes to the country’s Lease Buyback Scheme. Currently, the scheme is available to those aged 65 and over, but Leap201 proposes lowering the eligibility age to 55. This adjustment, they believe, would offer more Singaporeans the opportunity to unlock equity in their Housing and Development Board (HDB) flats to supplement their retirement incomes. The charity’s suggestion aims to provide earlier access to financial resources for retirees. Lowering the age limit could potentially increase the number of individuals benefiting from the scheme, enhancing their financial security during retirement. Leap201 also promotes a one-stop retirement planning platform to aid in navigating these financial options.
