I am selling my first property now. If I book a 2nd property now before first property sold off, I am required to pay ABSD but once my first property gets an option to purchase exercised, my ABSD will no long be required? What if my first property signed option to purchase but eventually deal didn't go thru, will the ABSD be imposed back later on?

Good evening buyer,

I guess you require a legal person to advise you on that. If you are keen, I can pass you my property conveyancing manager's contact.

Cheers!

Hi,

Once the OTP for your current place is exercised, you are no longer considered the legal owner and hence have zero property count. When you then book your next unit, it will be considered your 1st property as an SC, and hence no ABSD is payable.

Your timelines need to be timed carefully in terms of financial planning and moving out transition so to minimize costs outlay and hassle.

I'm not sure why you will have this concern that the first property completion will not go through once OTP is exercised. These cases are the exception rather than the norm. If it didn't complete, depending on case circumstances, you maybe able to sue for specific performance. Its best to seek legal advice if such event arises. Thanks and hope to value-add to your housing plans further.

Warm Regards,

Good morning,

Basically, once your buyer opt to exercise the OTP, both of you are in legal binding contract to buy and sell. You are then eligible to purchase your next property without the need to pay ABSD. Should your buyer opt to back out of the S&P, you can either request for specific performance or request for the buyer to compensate on any loses that you might incur.

Do feel free to contact me should you require additional assistance.
