Hi,

Seller's Stamp Duty of 4% will apply up until June 2016, if you sell between now and then. Factors to consider is quite a broad topic, it depends on your plans and which locations and projects you are looking. Thanks and hope to discuss further.

Warm regards

Good morning upgrader,

Let me assist you with your enquiry.

Do take note that you have to own a residential property for at least 4 years to avoid seller's stamp duty (SSD). Currently you are in the 4th year, thus you will be subject to 4% SSD unless you sell it in or after June 2016.

Thus your expenses for sale if you sell now will be:

1) around $2.5k to $3k private legal fees
2) 2% of sale price as agent's commission
3) 4% of sale price as SSD

Btw do you intend to purchase first then sell?
2) sell current then purchase?
3) do both concurrently?

Probably you can share more information with me so I draft up a financial plan based for your sale and purchase.

1) address of current unit
2) CPF utilised plus accrued interest for current unit
3) outstanding loan for current unit
4) finances on hand (balance CPF OA funds and cash)

Usually the cost for a purchaser will be as such:

1) estimated buyer's stamp duty (close to 3% of purchase price)
2) $2.5k to $3k private legal fees

No commission payable to your real estate salesperson thus it will definitely be favourable to you if you engage the same person for your sale for your purchase as well. So he will be able to advise you better as he's more familiar with the whole timeline.

Hope my explanation helps!

If you need any assistance or advice in your property needs, feel free to contact me. Cheers!

Hi, you may want to consider selling your unit next year around Jun instead, so that you need not pay any more seller stamp duty which is quite a lot of money.

Dear sir/madam,

Is your current condo fully paid already? We will need to explore the different options wherever possible for you to enjoy savings of the applicable stamp duty if we can understand more about your background of sale and purchase.

Afternoon,

All residential properties purchased after Jan 2011 will be subjected to SSD if it's sold within 4 years from purchase date. Hence for your case, we will need to know your purchase date so that we can work out the timeline to avoid this.

Do contact me further for detail discussion.

Hi,

Re: Our Preferred Experienced SG Realtor

Firstly, it will be hassle if you opt to buy first without selling your existing property.

1) Stamp duty remission (Claim back stamp duty upon you sell your existing property)
2) Bridging loan to use existing property to service your next property.

Will recommend that you sell first and obtain the cash proceed + CPF returned. Then proceed to obtain the bank loan then have a clear pictures which property you shall targeting for :)
