You can, and you can check with the law firm to do so, although I have no idea why you would like to do this transfer. If your spouse who is a SPR does not own a property in Singapore, he or she will be able to buy another property at only 5% ABSD to maximise the potential portfolio for returns.

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.

Hi,

1) There are mainly 2 types of scenarios under the transfer of property:
(a) Selling: Your spouse may apply for a loan for the share intended to transfer. Subject to the normal buyer stamp duty (BSD). Since your spouse is an SPR, 5% ABSD is applicable if this is the first residential property going to own.
(b) Gift: No need to pay for the share. Subject to the normal BSD & ABSD as selling.

Please give me a thumbs-up if the answer provided is relevant to your main concern. Thanks!!!

Hope the above answer your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Best regards

Hi,

If you have inherited the property within the last 3 years, there will be Seller's Stamp Duty payable if you transfer this private property ownership share to your spouse. 1st/2nd/3rd year holding period -> 12%/8%/4% SSD .

The relevant buyer stamp duties and additional buyer stamp duties will also apply. In your spouse case, as she is a SPR, it will be approx 3% BSD + 5% ABSD . Legal fees of approx $6k will also apply as you need 2 law firms to work on the transfer.

Hope the above clarifies. May I have more info and requirements about your plans so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Mr & Mrs Wee : We would like to share our appreciation and commendation to Ivan for their professionalism and dedication in handling our property transaction. It was a great pleasure to work with him as he was patient throughout the entire process and explained to us and clarified any doubts we had without fail. He was also very prompt in responding to all the queries we had. While we were unsure if we were able to sell off the property in time, Ivan constantly reassured us that it was possible and offered his professional advice. In fact, he managed to secure an offer to sell the property above our expected price while concurrently negotiated the buying price for our next property. Having Ivan as our agent significantly made the entire process seamless and fuss-free. We will definitely recommend Ivan to our family and friends. Read More

Hi Sir/Mdm,

For a SPR, if it is the first residential property in Singapore, your spouse will be liable for the normal buyer stamp duty and the additional buyer stamp duty of 5%.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your intentions and assist you further.
