Dear Mr. Pearson,

In the usufruct system, if you sold your usufruct out after 10 years for instance, the next purchaser will enjoy only 89 years; the remaining time of your usufruct period. This is why developers state in the usufruct contract that they will charge you 5% of the purchase price if you wish to resell, the reason is that they take this percentage to issue the new purchaser a new 99 years usufruct right contract, being the freehold right holders. End of story.
