Asked by
My wife and I owned a matrimonial property about 15 years ago. About 3 years ago, she invested in a condo under her own name. Recently, we plan to sell our current matrimonial home and buy another home jointly. We will told that we will be subjected to the new ABSD. She has already paid a higher BSD for her second property. We will be deprived of owning a new matrimonial home unless we pay the ABSD.
I can buy the new property under my name and I will not be subjected to the new ABSD. However, it will be a stretch for me because, I will not have enough to service the loan installments because a part of the installment is our joint CPF contribution.
My questions are
1. We do not wish to sell the second property, is there a way to still buy our first matrimonial home without subjected to new ABSD rule?
2. If I have to invest alone in the new property, is there a way that we can still jointly use our CPF to buy the new property. Thank you!.

Hi,

Yes the higher ABSD rate of both purchaser profile will apply when you purchase the next matrimonial property in joint name basis. May I know if you are looking at a new launch? Perhaps I could have more details to recommend the best approach to minimize the upfront costs. Happy to share more over phone.

Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Hi there Ma'am,

Thank you for your query.
Perhaps you could share more details on your end for me to churn out a more comprehensive, exact and thorough financial calculations with exact figures. Furthermore, I would be able to share more on the varied marketing strategies and mediums through which your property might get maximum exposure as well as study the recent up to date transaction caveats of similar sized units in vicinity and hence, present a sales and elevation report to advise further. I have transacted a EM unit in Bishan at Record Price and it was published in the Newspaper (Available on my website).

Dear sir,

Unfortunately, Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty is unavoidable in your situation in the situation above as long as your wife is co-paying the loan via CPF or as a co-owner to the home you will be looking to purchase.

Based on the existing portfolio, we may perhaps work out a solution to understand better how much ABSD can potentially be reduced and perhaps propose a solution to minimise the ABSD applicable in your case through adequate portfolio planning, which is part of my Grow Real Estate Wealth program I have rolled out earlier this year.

If you wish to explore further on this aspect, perhaps you may wish to get in touch with me in private for further discusssion because we are not alerted to any responses posted here.

Good afternoon Sir,

I do understand your situation but I am afraid to inform you that either options wont work.

1) if you wish to sell off matrimonial house and buy another with wife, it will be 12% ABSD cause its your wife's second property (assuming she is Singaporean).

2) A borrower must be an owner as well thus if your wife is not an owner, you are unable to use her CPF funds to finance the mortgage.

If you dont wish to be hit by the cooling measures, it will be advisable to purchase under your sole name.

I specialised in restructuring property portfoliio for my clients. We can review your wife's property in terms of its potential to see whether its still a keeper.

When will be a good time to meet up over a cup of coffee to explore your options?
