Hi,

I am a Singapore PR and would like to buy a condo. Can someone help me figure out the following?

I understand that I've to pay at least 5% Cash, and I could use 15% from my CPF.

What are the other money involved, assuming the property price is 800,000SGD? Can I know how much is the stamp duty, any other fees, etc?

Thank you!!

Hi there,

The initial cash outlay :
20% Cash (5% Cash & 15% CPF)
80% Maximum Loan
3% Buyer Stamp Duty
ABSD FOR PR
Legal Misc Fess (approx 2.5k~)
NO agent fees

Perhaps you could furnish me with your exact requirements and finances on hands to conduct the financial cash calculations/ progressive payments to reaffirm and shortlist the residences units you could otherwise consider. At the same time, I will take the opportunity to run through the key financial loan approval process, share some market insights/ provide you with recent sales transaction caveats and explain the entire procedural framework involved.

As mentioned earlier, there is no agent fees involved, hence my service and consultation comes at no cost ; and you are assured of being walked by step by step on the entire procedural framework - from technical matters to financial, legal matters and beyond.

Hi,

Being a PR saved you at least 10% in ABSD compare to Foreigner.

The costs of the purchase ($800k) are as follow:
(1) OTP (deposit + exercise) (5%) = $ 40,000
(2) Downpayment (15%) = $120,000 (can be pay by CPF if there are sufficient fund)
(3) Basic Stamp duty; BSD (~3%) = $ 18,600 (can be pay by CPF if there are sufficient fund)
(4) Additional BSD (5%) = $ 40,000 (can be pay by CPF if there are sufficient fund)
(5) Legal fee = $ 2,000
(6) Mortgage stamp duty = $ 500
Total cash needed = $221,100

In fact, the first thing you ought to do is to get a bank willing to loan you 80% of the purchase; $640,000.
You will have to satisfy the TDSR rules set by MOF (Ministry of Finance), current loan, salary, credit card usage plays a big part whether you will be given the right loan amount.
Don't worry too much of the TDSR, leave it to banker who will help to assess through the process.

Hope the above answer to your main concerns, but if there are more queries, please feel free to contact me at 90110636  , or email: ling.ck7@gmail.com if more information is needed.
I'll be glad to assist.

Good evening,

As a SPR buyer for your first residential property, you will be able to obtain maximum of 80% loan. 5% of the down payment must be made by cash while balance 15% can be paid using CPF. ABSD of 5% will also be payable, on top of the standard stamp duty. Legal fee would range around $2,500 to $3,500.

4) Legal fee: $3.5k
