Dear Sir/Mdm,
1) You will not be able to purchase a new BTO from the HDB within the 30 months from the disposal of the EC. However, you will be able to purchase a resale flat with no restrictions.
2) If you wish to gift it to your son, he will need to pay the normal buyer stamp duties and also need to return you the CPF plus interests that you have used so far.
3) It is advisable to sell the property to your son at market value and he can take a loan to finance the property. Alternatively, you can sell the EC in the open market and use the sales proceeds to allow your son to invest in another property.
4) Seller Stamp Duty is only for the first 3 years. Selling after 3 years will not attract any stamp duties.
5) If your son is the legal owner, all the sales proceeds will go directly to him after the sale.
Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and provide you with further assistance.
Regards,
Nick Tan

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”

I write to commend Nick Tan (R040814C). When my husband and I first met Nick, we were impressed by his drive, commitment, business acumen and strategical thinking, and decided to engage him. We were not disappointed. Nick sourced for prospective quality buyers in a targeted methodical fashion and was effective in connecting us with serious buyers, notwithstanding the fact that the search primarily took place over Dec – Feb (a traditional lull period). Throughout the transaction, he also gave us helpful advice in various aspects; the advice reflected his personal experience and expertise and was not simply regurgitated from public sources without any value-add. Further, Nick went beyond the call of duty of a competent professional. He had a sense of humanity in the way he interacted with myself and the other parties to the transaction such as my parents. As an example, my newborn daughter was warded into A&E on the completion date of the transaction; the care and concern that Nick showed went beyond the scope of work of an estate agent. I commend Nick for his capabilities and character, and would certainly wish to engage him for future property transactions.
