Hi, We are currently looking to purchase our first property in Singapore as a Couple. I am currently on EP (foreigner) and Spouse is SPR. We are both in Singapore for well over 13 years. Due to the recent hike in ABSD % for foreigner, it doesn't make sense for me to get a property on my name due to 60% ABSD. However, we are planning to purchase on my wife name who is SPR and eventually will only need to pay 5% ABSD.

Now the problem being, her salary is ~5k for which she is not been able to get higher Loan amount. I am currently early 20k per month. Is there any way where i can co-finance the Purchase while not being part of the property Holding ?

I have heard of 99/1 rule, but we are looking for resale condo Only as new launch are small in size. Is this rule applicable to Resale condo as well ?

Hi Ashesh,

If you have substantial funds (financial assets), you can consider to do a pledging or show funds method under your spouse's name so to bump up the loan amount she can borrow. I am contactable at 97432395  for further discussion.

May I have more info and requirements about your plans so as to make better recommendations? Thanks and look forward to value-add to your housing plans.

Warm Regards,

Hi Ashesh,

If you have substantial amount of cash available, this can be used to help get a higher loan on your wife aspect. Have you spoken to a banker so far to see what other options you may have? I may have some potential options but will need more clarity on the employment situation.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 13 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.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!

Hi Ashesh

1. If you are buying under 2 name, ABSD rate will follow the higher percentage.

2. To get higher loan amount for purchasing under your spouse name only can propose pledging (put 4 years fix deposit) or unpledging (show fund), subject to approval
I can connect you with reputable banker for this, free of charge and no obligation.

3. Based on $1 mill, and assuming loan is 75%
5% Cash = $50,000
20% Cash/CPF = $200,000
BSD (Cash/CPF) = $24,600
ABSD (Cash/CPF) = might apply
Legal fee = $2,500 (estimated)
Please contact me at (65) 96608508  and I can share the breakdown for this calculation including timeline.

4. How many bedrooms are you looking at and which area you prefer?
I have current price list, promo of every projects in Singapore and will be glad to advise you

I will be glad to assist, no agent fee from private property buyer
Appreciate if you can contact me at (65) 96608508 
or click here https://bit.ly/WaSilvia to whatsapp me for no obligation discussion
Thank you.
