Asked by
We own a HDB and have confirmed with HDB that we get to keep the flat even if we purchase a private property because we got our HDB unit before the policy was changed. If we should purchase a second property now, would it be regarded as a second property and receive similar treatments such as the ABSD and only 50% bank loan? Thanks

Hi Ms. Lim,

As long as you are SC and have met the MOP of 5 years, yes you can purchase 2nd residential property. Yes ABSD of 7% applies if its your 2nd property purchase, and if you already have an outstanding mortgage loan, your 2nd loan is only max 50%.
It doesn't matter when you bought your HDB as your purchase of 2nd property will be now and onward, hence prevailing stamp duty and mortgage policies apply.

May I have more info and requirements about your plans so to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Dear Ms Lim,

Yes for your question on the loan rates and ABSD applicable, so why are you looking to purchase a 2nd property now? Looking at the current economies, I highly discourage additional property purchases at least in Singapore. Do share more with me what are your plans in email or mobile as we are not alerted to any responses posted here.

Dear Ms SW,

Re: Today’s SG Professional Choice- SGAgent.com & SGRealtor.com

Yes, 50% housing loan and ABSD applied if you still have HDB with existing loan.

Buying property need to be prudent, will always recommend to clear existing loan first before going into private property.

Do not go into overseas property as more risky vs local properties regardless it affordable.

Good morning SW,

you are eligible to purchase a private property and hold on to your existing as long as you fulfill your minimum occupation period and your household has at least one Singaporean.

Do take note of these cooling measures if you decide to purchase a second property:

1) max 50% loan if you still have outstanding mortgage in HDB
2) 7% additional buyer's stamp duty payable for your second property ownership as a Singaporean
3) if you utilise CPF OA funds in current HDB, you will have to set aside basic retirement sum of $80.5k in your CPF OA+SA first before you can use the excess CPF OA funds in this purchase.

My team and I has assisted numerous clients to grow their property portfolio.

Will you be keen to find out more about tax savings, ability to obtain max loan etc?

Hear from you soon!
