Good morning buyer,

I will assume your overseas property is residential.

As you don't have intention to sell it off, you are only allowed to purchase a private property because if you opt for resale HDB, you will have to dispose off your overseas residential property within 6 months from completion date.

Lastly both of you wont be subject to 5% additional buyer's stamp duty even though you are a SPR as IRAS will treat your first property ownership in Singapore as your matrimonial home.

Hope my explanation helps!

If you need any assistance or advice in your property purchase, feel free to contact me. Cheers!

Warmest Regards,

Hi,

In your case, resale hdb is out of the option since you have to sell away your overseas residential property. For private, stamp duties will be on the higher 5% (for SPR)+3% , if you don't qualify for ABSD remission. Thanks and hope to assist further.

Warm regards

Morning to you,

Since you are looking at keep the overseas property under your name, HDB will not be within your option. Both of you can go for private property without the need to pay ABSD as this would be your first property in holding under both names.

Do contact me further if you require assistance.
