Dear Singaporean,
Yes, you are well informed! If you choose to keep your overseas home, you are not allowed to buy a HDB flat. My question would be, are you relocating to Singapore? If so, with the sky high prices for HDB right now, I think, it might be good to buy an old private condo either for own stay or investment as HDB comes with all kinds of restrictions.

Do contact me directly either via WhatsApp or Telegram so that I can advise you what might be very good investments. With further population growth, prices are expected to rise even further in the future. So, making that investment now might come in handy in the future.
Cheers!

Hi,

Brand new HDB and brand new EC is out of the picture since it requires you to sell away the overseas property, which is not preferred.

You should focus on resale EC of 5 years and above or private property like condo. No issues to keep the overseas property for that.

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.

Warm Regards,

-- 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.

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. Read More

Hi,

I regret to inform you that you're not eligible to apply for a brand new BTO or EC. This is because you currently own a private property. You will have to dispose all private properties and wait out a period of 30 months before being eligible to apply for a BTO or EC, assuming you meet all other eligibility conditions too.

If you do not wish to sell off your overseas property, the only option you can go for would be private condo (or landed under your sole name). This is recommended too, as your intentions is to rent it out after the purchase. By purchasing a HDB or brand new EC, you will have to fulfill a 5-year MOP before being able to rent out the whole unit.

Do take note that you are not liable for ABSD if this is your first matrimonial home purchase in Singapore. If your spouse is a US Citizen, you could even purchase 2 properties without having to pay any ABSD.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private 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,
