There is no requirement to pay additional stamp duty on foreign properties, however, as an owner of a foreign property, you will be ineligible to purchase a resale HDB here in Singapore. You will be required to sell off that property and wait out for a period of 15 months before you are eligible to do so, unless you are age 55 years old or above, then you can look into purchasing a resale 4 room HDB or smaller unit immediately after the disposal.
You will need to be age 35 or older in order to be eligible to purchase a resale HDB as a single owner if you are a Singapore Citizen. Housing grant eligibility is based on your household income and if you have just disposed off a private property overseas, you will also not be eligible for any housing grant.
Hope the above helps!
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.
