Dear sir/mdm,

Yes, you will be eligible to purchase a penthouse unit at a condo. Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty may apply depending on your nationality as foreigners from the few nations with FTA will have their ABSD exempted for 1st residential property in Singapore.

In addition, do ensure that you have the necessary finances ready for the purchase of the property. I do have some interesting choices for considerations.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 12 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.
