Hi,

I would be most glad to assist you further and pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good day ahead. By the way, it would not be an issue for you to purchase a landed property since you are a local citizen.

Hi Sara,

As long as you are still holding on to the pink IC, you will be eligible to consider purchase of landed properties in Singapore. As this is a restricted class of property which only Singapore Citizens and SPR (with approval by the authorities) can purchase, the exit strategy tends to be different from the mass market non-landed private residential homes.

I have been focusing in this area of transactions for the past close to 14 years and I'm very familiar with the processes of purchase and sale of landed homes in Singapore, supported by my team of consultants with over 20 years experience in this business.

Should you require any assistance in your landed home search, feel free to get in touch with us.

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.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. 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.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!

Hi Sara,

As long as you are a Singaporean, you will be able to purchase a landed property. Landed properties in Singapore are considered restricted properties and only Singaporean are allowed to own.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can give you an overview of the purchase process and address any concerns that you may have!

I was featured recently on Council for Estate Agencies (CEA) Newsletter:
http://bit.ly/CEAnews

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients

“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”
Peter & Wendy (Property Seller)

I write to commend Nick Tan (R040814C). When my husband and I first met Nick, we were impressed by his drive, commitment, business acumen and strategical thinking, and decided to engage him. We were not disappointed. Nick sourced for prospective quality buyers in a targeted methodical fashion and was effective in connecting us with serious buyers, notwithstanding the fact that the search primarily took place over Dec – Feb (a traditional lull period). Throughout the transaction, he also gave us helpful advice in various aspects; the advice reflected his personal experience and expertise and was not simply regurgitated from public sources without any value-add. Further, Nick went beyond the call of duty of a competent professional. He had a sense of humanity in the way he interacted with myself and the other parties to the transaction such as my parents. As an example, my newborn daughter was warded into A&E on the completion date of the transaction; the care and concern that Nick showed went beyond the scope of work of an estate agent. I commend Nick for his capabilities and character, and would certainly wish to engage him for future property transactions.
Weilun & Benita (Property Seller)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations. We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”

My answer with regards to your Question :

As a Singapore citizen, you retain your citizenship even if you have been residing abroad. However, you may be considered a non-resident for tax purposes in Singapore if you have been away for an extended period. Here are some key points to consider:
1. Residential Status for Taxation: The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) determines your tax residency based on the number of days you spend in Singapore. If you spend less than 183 days in Singapore during a tax year, you are generally considered a non-resident for tax purposes.
2. Property Purchase: As a Singapore citizen, you are generally eligible to purchase residential property in Singapore, including landed property. However, if you are a non-resident for tax purposes, there may be differences in the stamp duties and financing options compared to a tax resident.
3. Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD): Non-residents are subject to higher ABSD rates when buying residential property in Singapore. It's important to check the current ABSD rates and regulations.
4. Foreigner Schemes: Some residential properties, including landed homes, are subject to restrictions on ownership by non-Singaporeans. As a Singapore citizen, you are not considered a foreigner, but it's crucial to check the specific rules regarding landed property ownership.
5. Legal and Financial Advice: Given the complexities of property transactions and tax implications, it's highly recommended to seek legal and financial advice from professionals familiar with Singapore's property and tax laws.
Before proceeding with the purchase, consult with a tax advisor and a legal professional to ensure you are aware of all relevant regulations and make informed decisions based on your specific situation.
