Hi,

After purchasing, if its sold within 3 years of holding period, seller stamp duties apply. After that no SSD. 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,

-- HDB BTO 4rm Sellers Mr. Farvin & Ms. Sel --

Ivan was the first agent that we met up with and right from the offset we had good vibes as he has a friendly personal approach, detailed working style and focuses on building the long-term relationship.

Our unit comes with its challenges but Ivan remained positive and had no qualms committing to our plans right from the start. It took only 6 weeks of aggressive marketing for him to secure a good offer which was a pleasant surprise in the end.

Ivan was always responsive and we had no worries to pass him the house keys. The whole process was transparent and hassle free, and he was always thinking from our point of view on how to make life easier for the client. He is a committed professional and has fast execution, so we felt assured that things are done well and we can entrust the sale process entirely to him.

--- HDB Flat Upgraders Mr. & Mrs. Lee ---

We decided to engage Ivan as our agent as we were impressed with how he answered the enquiries on property guru website.

He has helped us to find our ideal unit and also sold our current unit. He was very patient and never pushy when we were looking for our ideal unit. He would tell us that it is always important to find a unit that we really liked.

When it comes to selling of our unit, he was always prompt in arranging for viewings and he also tried his best to arrange and consolidate the viewings due to our time constraints. He is a reliable and prompt agent and is always willing to clarify any concerns and questions that we have.

Thanks Ivan! :)

Dear Sir/Mdm,

Under current ruling, you will only need to hold your property for 3 years before you can sell it without incurring any penalty.

Under current market conditions, I would recommend you to hold for at least 3 to 5 years before you will be able to enjoy a meaningful appreciation of your capital. Please feel free to contact me so that I can share with you a list of projects with good upside potential!

Hi,

For private residential properties, there is no restriction on your holding period. You can buy today and sell tomorrow.

However, take note that if you sell within a year of purchase, you will incur 12% Seller Stamp Duty (SSD) on the sale price. Should you sell within 2 years, SSD would be 8%, within 3 years 4%. You will not incur any SSD if you hold beyond 3 years of your purchase.

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you and your partner in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Good afternoon buyer,

seller's stamp duty will be payable within 3 years from exercise of option or sale and purchase agreement.

within 1 year - 12%
within 2 years - 8%
within 3 years - 4%
thereafter not payable.

Actually based on the low supply of units in years to come and with enbloc sales and land bids at record high this year, it will be advisably to keep it for at least 3 to 4 years.

If you dont mind, I will love to share my analysis on news articles and charts published by government authority.

Hear from you soon!
