Hi there,

If my husband and i decided to decouple after owning the property for four years. There is no additional stamp duty other than the 3% part purchase.

My question is what if i who became the full owner decide to sell the home the following year? Any Seller Stamp Duty that i have to incur for that 50% i bought from him?

Your advises will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Yes for the part share of 50% that you bought over, SSD will apply if you sell within 1 year of transfer. If there's an intention to sell from the start, it might actually be better to sell without decoupling to avoid the costs and hassle.

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,

Good morning owner,

There wont be any ABSD if you are a SC taking over your husband's share.

You will be subject to 16% SSD for the 50% ownership that you took over if you decide to sell within 1 year.

By the way, care to share more about your intention to decouple and to sell off property within 1 year after part share?

Perhaps from more sharing, I will be able to provide more options for you guys to explore.

Hi there, yes there will be additional SSD on the 50% as the SSD period will restart. As real estate is a mid - long term investment. My suggestion would be to plan out your goals and objective before you commence on any action. In short, the two main objective would be capital appreciation and rental yield. Do drop me a text or email for a more detailed explaination and financial analysis on our current portfolio before you decide on your next course of action.

Afternoon,

If your intention is to decouple and buy over the share of your co-owner, then it would be advisable not to sell the property within the next 4 years as the SSD period will be reset from the date of the transfer.

Dear Mdm,

As many of my colleagues shared, the 50% share will attract the SSD so it does not make any financial sense to sell the property one year after decoupling.

Please feel free to share with me your intentions on such an arrangement so that I can value add towards your decision!

Hi,

If you have intentions to sell off the property next year, it does not make sense for you to decouple it this year.

Why would you want to incur 3% stamp duty for the transfer this year, and then 16% next year for the SSD?

You need to have a clear idea what are your objectives, before committing to any sale or purchase. Do not throw away good money by making the wrong choice.

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 in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,
