Good morning madam,

Is there any outstanding loan for the current property and was any CPF used to finance this property? You will require to be able to finance this property solely on your own and may not be a simple transfer. You are likely required to buy over this property from your husband instead, thus the standard applicable stamp duty will be involved.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 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.

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.

Good morning Madam,

It is possible if its a private property, and so long the finances can be arranged. For HDB it is not as simple because HDB has to approve the transfer of ownership and usually upgrading to a bigger space is not sufficient as a reason.

Essentially its like you are buying over your hubby's property. You will have to refund his CPF utilized + accrued interest, redeem his outstanding bank loan and pay the relevant buyer stamp duties at the minimum. I am contactable at 97432395  for further discussion.

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,

Condo Seller
Mr & Mrs Wee : We would like to share our appreciation and commendation to Ivan for their professionalism and dedication in handling our property transaction. It was a great pleasure to work with him as he was patient throughout the entire process and explained to us and clarified any doubts we had without fail. He was also very prompt in responding to all the queries we had. While we were unsure if we were able to sell off the property in time, Ivan constantly reassured us that it was possible and offered his professional advice. In fact, he managed to secure an offer to sell the property above our expected price while concurrently negotiated the buying price for our next property. Having Ivan as our agent significantly made the entire process seamless and fuss-free. We will definitely recommend Ivan to our family and friends. Read More

Hi,

1) When it involves with ownership of a property, changing ownership is not just a matter of changing names.
2) There are 2 ways of transferring the ownership from him to you:
(a) via gift
(b) via sale

3) Gift:
(a) The property must be free from an outstanding mortgage loan.
(b) All funds utilized from the CPF must be returned with accrued interest

4) Sale: This is a straightforward method, thus not going to elaborate here.
5) The stamp duty for both methods is the same, based on the market value of the current home.
6) You may approach a lawyer to assist in making this transfer. The fees for both are around the same, maybe a few hundred difference.
It is around $5.5k~$8k depending on the individual firm.
7) So the costs are mainly the legal fees & stamp duty.
8) If you need a loan to take over the ownership, it is recommended to approach a banker to do the IPA assessment.

Please give me a thumbs-up if the answer provided is relevant to your main concern. Thanks!!!

Hope the above answers your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Best regards
