As a foreigner, Additional Buyer Stamp Duty applicable for you to purchase a private residential home in Singapore is at 60% on top of the normal buyer stamp duty of up to 6% on the value of your acquisition. Thus is the property is valued at $1m and you acquire a share of 1% in that property, the total stamp duties payable is at $6,100. As a legal owner of the property, you will be eligible to take up the loan for this property, thus maybe able to extend the loan tenure based on your age and income in combination with your parents, and thereby reducing the monthly instalments.

Hi,

Yes, this is possible if it's a non-landed private property. Take note that there will be a 60% ABSD imposed on foreigners owning a residential property.

The minimum ownership is 1%. Hence, you pay only the stamp duty on 1% share of the Valuation of the property that's being transferred.

I am experienced and well-versed in both HDB and private transactions. I will be able to assist you in your property plans. Please get in touch with me for a more in-depth discussion.

Should you need require further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile +65 97 48 63 05. I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi,

1) There are 3 main factors that you, as a foreigner, have to be aware of:
(a) A foreigner cannot have any ownership of a landed property.
(b) A foreigner cannot have any ownership in an HDB flat.
(c) A foreigner is subject to a 60% ABSD (Additonal Buyer Stamp Duty) on top of the normal buyer stamp duty.

2) You may be added as an owner in a private residential property such as a condominium, apartment, etc, non-landed residential property.

3) It is true a younger and higher-income person can extend the mortgage payoff period. The amount of extension shall mainly depend on the above factors highlighted.

4) The minimum property ownership must not be less than 1%. The ABSD and BSD are based on the value of the amount of share of ownership.

5) You only need a conveyance lawyer to effect the addition of ownership. He will be able to advise you on the whole conveyance process.

Please give me a thumbs-up if the answer provided is relevant to your main concern. Thanks!!!
