Asked by
Good morning,
My girlfriend co-owns a condo unit with her sister, meaning that both of their names are on the title (50%-50%). Both of them are PRs. The condo unit was bought on Feb 2012.
Currently they are now servicing bank mortgage loan.
If she chooses to take her name off the title, meaning that her sister will be the sole owner of this condo unit. What is the fee that both her and her sister needs to pay? Will this also affect current mortgage loan since this value of property has now appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Stamp duty of the part purchase will be involved and this includes ABSD since both of them are SPR. The sister will also need to ensure that she has the necessary financial capacity to secure the housing loan for the entire apartment. Legal fees will also be involved in the part sale.

Hi,

Your girlfriend's sister will have to pay stamp duty to buy over 50% share of the condo from your girlfriend.

For PRs, stamp duties involved will be the normal stamp duty, plus Additional Buyer Stamp Duty (ABSD) of 5%. There is no Seller Stamp Duty (SSD) involved in this case.

Apart from stamp duties, both your girlfriend and her sister will have to engage a lawyer each to act on their behalf. Your girlfriend on her sale of her shares, and her sister on the purchase.

Also to take note, your girlfriend's sister will have to take over the balance mortgage, hence her income will be needed to substantiate the loan amount. If her income is not strong enough to apply for the loan, the balance shortfall will have to be paid in CASH or CPF.

Hope the above answers your queries.

Should you have any other queries, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assist.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen

Hi,

The remaining owner will need to finance the property on her sole income + use any funds available for the shortfall, since she will become the 100% owner. She also has to pay BSD+ABSD of total approx 8% on the value of share amount transferred. Legal fees are also payable. You might want to do a rough calculation to see if it makes sense to proceed, as the costs that will be incurred could be substantial. Will it be meaningful for the sister to keep the property on her own? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans further.

Warm Regards,

Good evening Wen Qiang,

This procedure will be called as part share (decoupling).

The legal fees they need to fork out will based on two lawyers like as if its a normal sale and purchase, maybe around $7k?

Your girlfriend's sister must be financially capable to take on the new loan (based on current valuation).

Stamp duties will be based on 50% of the current valuation. Since your girlfriend's sister will be obtaining a new loan, the bank will send a valuer to value the property.

By the way, care to share why they are decoupling? Perhaps I can share more insights.
