Unfortunately, SPR cannot own both HDB and condo concurrently, and ABSD of 30% is applicable on the purchase as well if you hold on to 2 properties as SPR is ineligible for ABSD remission. Read More

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, I’m afraid you can’t retain the HDB flat in your case.

Hi,

Unfortunately no, SPR couple cannot own hdb and private property concurrently. It is also ideal for you to sell the hdb first before buying the private property, so your ABSD payable rate is 5% instead of 30% .

So in your case its best to sell first, before buying the new launch condo, and rent for the interim period of construction.

Hope the above clarifies. I am well-versed with HDB and private property transactions, having helped more than 100 homeowners transit smoothly with their housing plans. Please reach out to me at 97432395  for a more in-depth discussion :)

May I have more info on your requirements so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and looking forward to chat more

1. **SPR Couples Cannot Own Both HDB and Private Property Concurrently**: As a couple holding Singapore Permanent Resident (SPR) status, you are **not allowed** to own both a Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat and a private property at the same time. You must dispose of your HDB flat if you wish to purchase a private property.

2. **Selling Your HDB Flat First**: It is **recommended** to sell your HDB flat **before purchasing** a private property. This allows you to take advantage of a **lower Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD)** rate of **5%** as opposed to **30%**, which applies if you already own the HDB flat at the time of purchase.

3. **Timing Your Sale and Purchase**: In your situation, it would be best to **sell the HDB flat first** before purchasing the new launch condo. You can then rent a place during the **waiting period** while the condo is under construction.

This approach ensures better financial planning and minimizes additional taxes

Hi,

As SPR, you will not be able to hold onto both a HDB and a condo. Also, you will incur ABSD of 30% should you enter into an agreement to purchase a private property without first selling off your current HDB flat.

If you're insistent on getting the new launch condo, my advise is for you to sell off the HDB flat, and then rent for the next few years while waiting for the condo to be ready.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile +65 97 48 63 05. I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Robbie Chen
