Asked by
I am going to purchase a private condo soon with my non-working wife.

We are both Singapore PR, probably my wife will own 99% and I will own the remaining 1%.

Later if we want to purchase a second property, to decouple, I understand I have to sell my 1% to my wife.
My wife will need to take the home loan.

Since my wife is a full-time mom, don't think any bank will approve the loan application.

In this case, can I take the mortgage of both properties? Even though the 1st property will be solely own by my wife and the 2nd property will be solely own by me?

Appreciate your sharing, unless you have sufficient funds to fully pay your 1st purchase, if not unable to proceed for 2nd purchase under your name.
Looking forward to share with you via whatsapp or phone call. Stewart Lim - Propnex 9696 4398  Read More

Hi,

Hmm to be borrower (ie. mortgagor) of property, you must also be the owner. Hence after selling 1% away, you can no longer be the mortgagor. If you have sufficient funds to fully pay the first property, the idea may be workable.

Or perhaps may I have more info so to structure a deal that meets your objectives? 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 Sir,

To be able to secure a loan for the property, you will need to be the owner of the property. Hence, should you remove your 1% share in the first property, you will not be able to take a loan for the property under your name. Your wife will have to undertake the loan.

Having said that, there are other ways for your homemaker wife to secure a loan. Do get in touch with me for further discussion.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans.

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,
Robbie Chen

Dear Sir,

To be a borrower of the loan, you will need to be one of the owners as well. In such an arrangement, you will not be able to decouple and save on the ABSD unless you finish paying the loan for the 1st property.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your objectives better and provide you with further assistance.

Hi;

As mentioned by the gurus here, you wont be able to take a loan for the property once you remove your name from it. However, there are other ways to secure a loan for your wife even though she is not working. But also need to see the amount that you are looking at, otherwise it may not be feasible to do decoupling. So you might want to do your proper planning first before executing. Hope this helps.. Do feel free to contact me if you need further advise. Have a great day ahead !
