Dear Sir/Mdm,
Unfortunately, the only way to avoid paying the Additional Buyer Stamp Duty is to secure a buyer and have the buyer exercise the option to purchase first before exercising the purchase of the new property.
Even if it is a matrimonial home, you will still have to pay the ABSD first and subsequently apply for a refund if you are able to sell off the property within 6 months from the TOP of the new property.
The other option you may consider is decoupling. Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your situation better and provide you with possible solutions!
Regards,
Nick Tan
