Dear sir,

Are you purchasing as a married couple? If you are purchasing as a married couple, there is no ABSD applicable for your first matrimonial home.

Otherwise, the ABSD applicable if you jointly purchase the condo whether you are holding it under Joint Tenancy or Tenancy In Common will still be based on whichever higher rate that is applicable, where it will be 5% if the property purchase is the first residential property for both of you.

I hope to have answered your question. If you have further questions, feel free to get in touch with me for further discussion. We can also arrange for a teleconference via Zoom or Google Meet.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 10years 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!

Good morning Sir/ Mdm,

Are both of you married couple?

Cause under IRAS rules, if married couple with at least one SC will not be subject to ABSD as it will be treated as matrimonial home.

If you guys are not married, ABSD will be charged on the whole value instead of the ownership shares.

Hope my sharing aids in clearing your doubts.

I do have ways to assist you guys in tax savings. May I know how am I able to share with you guys?

Hi,

If both of you are married, ABSD remission is applicable as its your first matrimonial property.

If not, the ABSD of 5% is applicable on the full valuation or transacted price of the property (whichever higher) as one of the purchasers is SPR status.

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

-- 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. Read More

Hi Sir,

If both of you are married, and this is a first residential property for both of you, you will not be liable for any ABSD.

If you're not married, you will be liable to ABSD. If it's both your first property, you will be liable for 5% ABSD on the full property valuation/purchase price, whichever is higher. If either of you own other properties, ABSD rates will be according to the higher rate.

I am experienced and well-versed in both private and HDB resale transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi Sir/Mdm,

You mentioned that your partner is a Singapore Permanent Resident and you are a Singaporean so if both of you are married and you are purchasing your first property together, then the good news is you do not need to pay any ABSD. If both of you are not married, then you will need to pay ABSD and it will be tabulated from the purchase price of the whole property even if both of you buy it under Tenancy-In-Common, holding different percentage of shares.

If both of you are married and you are purchasing a second property, then ABSD still applies and it will be at a rate of 15%. One thing to note is, if you are married and you purchase a second property under both names, then you have an option to sell off your first property within 6 months from the date of purchase of the second property and you are eligible to apply for a refund of the ABSD paid.

If you have anymore queries or if you feel that you need some more advice for your situation, please feel free to contact me and we can have a chat about this. No worries, there are no obligations at all. We can just take it as a chat.

Maybe just to share a little on my partner and myself. We have been in this business for a while and we have served many clients over time. Many of them are now our friends and many have also left testimonials for us for our service rendered. Both of us have always believe that our property is probably the most expensive thing that we have bought in our lives and hence any agents handling the houses should really uphold the clients' interest in top priority. Thanks to the many kinds words from our clients, both of us have been interviewed by Council of Estate Agents (CEA) before and we have been featured in their newsletter for Great Client Service. Personally I also won the SAEA Best Client Service Silver Award before as well. We believe that we will definitely be able to provide some good advice to you and hopefully we will be able to provide the same level of client service to you and hopefully even better.

Looking forward to hear from you soon! Cheers!

Dear Sir,

It depends on whether both of you are buying it as a matrimonial home of just buying it together as non-related parties. If it is the former, then you will not need to pay any ABSD. If it is buying under non-related parties then ABSD is payable on the whole property value.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation and requirements and assist you to structure the purchase to your benefits. I am available for discussion via Zoom as well during this circuit breaker period.

HI,

If this is your matrimonial flat and first property for both of you, then there won't be any ABSD.

Otherwise, the ABSD will apply on the higher rate which for your case is your partner.

However, there are quite a number of similar cases like yours and I be glad to assist you further in this.

As I am not able to contact you first, may I seek your help to contact me at 92707548  to discuss further?

Thanks!

Hi Sir
Generally ABSD will be charged full rate on the purchase price of the house based on the highest profile of the buyer. If one buyer is a PR, full ABSD rate for PR will apply. However for married Singapore citizens/ permanent resident or foreigner couples, ABSD will be remitted and you don't have to pay any ABSD. (Can only be applied to 1 property). I provide free service for purchase of private property which includes consultation, searching for a house that meets your needs, negotiate on your behalf, ensure you did not overpay for the unit above its market price and handle on the purchasing process. Do contact me at 93375051  for a free and non obligatory discussions on this.
