Seller's Stamp Duty is applicable at 12%, 8% or 4% depending on when you sell the residential property within the 1st 3 years of acquisition. There is no tax payable after holding the property for more than 3 years. Charges for sale will include the agent's commission (2% + GST), legal fees (usually less than $5,000), some admin fees on discharging a bank loan.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

Buyer Mr Wang & Ms Ng : We want to convey our thanks to Ivan, who helped us find our first home. Ivan was very responsive when we first met, and took time to understand our needs and requirements for our first home. He helped us narrow down our criteria and gave us good advice on how to structure our mortgage as well. He also made a great recommendation of an area we never thought of, and it was where we eventually bought our home. We appreciate Ivan's thoroughness in pros and cons of all our options that we viewed. We never felt pressured or rushed to make a decision. In fact, Ivan gave honest and useful inputs on the considerations of acting immediately or waiting. All in all, it was a very smooth experience and we ate very happy with the unit we bought. Thank you very much, Ivan! Read More

Hi! Seller Stamp Duty (SSD) depends on your date of purchase,

Holding period : Up to 1 year SSD = 12%
Holding period : More than 1 year and up to 2 years = 8%
Holding period : More than 2 years and up to 3 years = 4%
Holding period : More than 3 years = no SSD payable

SSD is based on the selling price of the property or market value of property, whichever is higher.

Please feel free to contact me at 98005200  or samanthakza@gmail.com for your real estate needs.

Hi Sir/Madam

When selling a private property in Singapore, there are several taxes and charges that you should be aware of. Here's a breakdown of some key considerations:

1. Seller's Stamp Duty (SSD): If you sell your property within the first three years of purchasing it, you may be subject to SSD. The SSD rates vary depending on the holding period and are calculated based on the property's market value or the sale price, whichever is higher. The SSD rates are typically higher for shorter holding periods and gradually decrease over time.
- For properties held for up to 1 year, the SSD rate is 12%.
- Properties held for more than 1 year and up to 2 years will have an SSD rate of 8%.
- If the holding period exceeds 2 years and is up to 3 years, the SSD rate decreases to 4%.
- Finally, for properties held for more than 3 years, no SSD is payable.

2. Goods and Services Tax (GST): GST is not applicable to the sale of residential properties in Singapore, unless the property is used for commercial purposes.

3. Legal and Agent Fees: When selling your property, you will need to engage a lawyer to handle the conveyancing process. Legal fees and disbursements will be incurred for the preparation of legal documents and other related services. Additionally, if you engage a real estate agent to assist with the sale, there will be agent fees or commissions to be paid.

4. Outstanding Mortgage Loan: If you still have an outstanding mortgage loan on your property at the time of sale, you will need to settle the loan using the proceeds from the sale.

Steps in selling
