Good morning!

Do take note that married couple are considered a single entity thus you cant simply transfer your interest in a HDB to your spouse. This is usually can be done for private property (100% ownership).

If you fulfill MOP, you might want to consider decoupling which means one of you becomes occupier. The occupier will be considered as doesnt own any property in Singapore so one of you can purchase private property without being subject to ABSD as a Singaporean.

Owner has to pay whatever the occupier has paid in current flat (CPF OA funds). Other expenses will be legal fees.

Hope my opinion aid in your decision making. If you need further assistance or advice in your property purchase, feel free to contact me.

Hi,

Will need more details, we can explore further to see if its feasible to get your condo purchase without ABSD. However, please note the condo mortgage loan will be based on your sole income if you use sole name. Thanks and hope to assist further.
