Good afternoon Jacqueline,

You wont have to pay ABSD if you are purchasing your first residential property in Singapore unless you are purchasing with your husband. 12% ABSD will be applicable if its a joint purchase as its his second residential property ownership.

If not only normal 3 to 4% buyer's stamp duty will be payable.

Hope my sharing helps in aiding in your enquiry. May I know how can I value add further in your property needs?

Best regards,

Hi Jacqueline

1. If you are buying Condo under your name only, you does not need to pay ABSD
2. Do you plan to take loan for your purchase?
If yes, Before shortlisting project/unit, I will suggest to check your in principal approval of your loan from banker. I can connect you with reputable banker for this, free of charge and no obligation.
3. For Singaporean 1st Property Based on $1 mill, and assuming loan is 75%
5% Cash = $50,000
20% Cash/CPF = $200,000
BSD (Cash/CPF) = $24,600
Legal fee = $2,500 (estimated)
Please contact me at (65) 96608508  and I can share you the breakdown for this calculation including timeline.
4. How many bedrooms are you looking at and which area you prefer?

I will be glad to assist, no agent fee from private property buyer

Hi Ms. Jacqueline Zheng,

Thank you for your query.
If you are purchasing your first residential home without your husband’s name, you will not be liable for ABSD. Have you explored any options or gone over your finances to ascertain your options ?

Perhaps, you could share additional requirements from your end as well as discuss further more on your investment objectives (expected returns etc) so that I can compute and narrow down to a list of ideal properties to target. Properties are plentiful - but what exactly to target is the dilemma.

For investment , of course location plays a huge part in consideration. But above and beyond we cannot negate the other factors - the amenities (distance to amenities), accessibility (how well connected the development is to town/ MRT etc), rentability (depending on development and unit itself) etc. Furthermore , I have a complete reel of data (not available to public) that is able to show complete price transaction caveats of each and every development in Singapore / profile of buyers (to aid factoring in BSD/ABSD costs into purchase price) as well as displays projected returns and capital appreciation in the future. Please do contact me at 96659926  for a short in depth discussion to value add your purchase and offer thorough insights to the property outlook!

You may text 9620 0827  for a casual chat. We can share with your the housing policy, transaction process, timeline and an estimated financial statement for your purchase.

-- EC Sellers, Private Property Buyers Dr. Chan & Ms. Xie --

I would like to compliment Mr Ivan Ng for his professional work and effort.I sent my first post in Jan 2019 and Ivan replied promptly, so I have decided to contact Ivan for follow up. My EC was not ready for sale due to MOP (another 3 months from Jan) at that time and Ivan was able to give me advices on how to proceed from there. Initially we have decided to try to write to HDB for early sale but since it was only 3 months left, eventually we waited for another 3 months while we looked for our next property. Ivan was able to arrange for new property showroom appointment at a timely manner while helping us to list for our EC for sale. We were a bit worried when our EC sale time was longer than expected due to trade war, but Ivan was able to reassure us that our EC would sell. By November, he managed to secure a buyer for our EC. Thank you.

-- HDB Yishun BTO 5-RM Sellers, Private Property Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Koh --

I would like to express my appreciation to Ivan Ng for his excellent work. Ivan is a dedicated, client-focused, patient and sincere agent. Throughout the whole process of selling and looking for our next property, he has always acted very professionally that makes my wife and I feel at ease and assured. Ivan is not a pushy and hard sales agent. Ivan listens and understands our needs and carefully guided us through. We are fortunate to have Ivan as our agent. Thank you Ivan.

-- HDB Jurong West 5-RM Sellers, Exec Apartment Purchasers, Lenz & Michelle --

Hi Jacqueline,

You are in a good position to purchase a condo because you DO NOT need to pay any ABSD since you do not own any property now.

May I know whether the property is intended for own stay or for investment? Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your considerations and also share with you the market outlook in the next 1 to 2 years.

Regards,

Hi
There is no ABSD required to be paid as you do not own any property and your husband property status does not matter. Do contact me at 93375051  for a free and non obligatory discussion on this.

Hi Ms. Jacqueline,

1) Under IRAS instruction it is very clear how they charge property stamp duty.
2) It is based on the number count of local residential property under every individual.
3) Since you do not own any property, the purchase condo unit shall be your first count of local residential property.
4) As long as you are a Singapore citizen you will not be subject to any ABSD.

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more query, 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.
