Good afternoon,

If your spouse has been added into the hdb as an essential occupier status, the MOP of 5 years applies to her as well. If the MOP is cleared, she can purchase a private property under her own name without ABSD since she currently does not own any residential property.

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,

Hi

If your spouse is either an essential or occupier, you must must meet your MOP. She must be a Singaporean and does not own any property.

You may text 9620 0827  for a casual chat.

Good evening Kenneth,

your wife is eligible to purchase a private property without being hit by ABSD if she is singaporean and not essential occupier of your HDB. If she's, she has to adhere to the 5 years minimum occupation period before she can do so.

Is she?

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

Best regards,

Hello Kenneth!

If your spouse is listed as an essential occupier in your HDB flat, both of you need to fulfil the MOP before any of you can purchase a private property.

As currently she don't have any property under her name, she can purchase a private property under her own name, without ABSD.

Still unsure? Text me at wa.me/6583330360 and I can help go through the criteria as well as the financial breakdown for you.

Thanks

Hi Kenneth,

Yes this is definitely possible as long as she does not have any properties under her name. You both are in a very good position to purchase a private property for investment as there is no need for ABSD.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can give you an overview of the purchase process, assist your wife to work out the financial plan and most importantly highlight to you which are the good options to consider.

Hi Kenneth,

Have you fulfilled your Minimum Occupation Period? If yes, she can proceed to purchase a private property under her own name without ABSD if she is a Singapore Citizen or foreigner from nations who are enjoying similar tax benefits as Singaporeans in the event that she does not own any other residential properties in Singapore.

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.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!
