Hi Vernice,

If this property is going to be your joint name 1st purchase, you may be eligible for ABSD remission and can avoid the higher ABSD rate. Alternatively you can also purchase under your own sole name. When he gets PR status you can still add his name in. The prevailing stamp duties will apply and also legal fees of approx 3-5k.

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,

Hi Vernice,

If this purchase is to be jointly-purchased as your first matrimonial home, you are eligible for ABSD remission. You need not pay any ABSD in this case.

If you currently owns a property, then you might want to purchase it under your name, and then upon him getting his PR, he can then purchase a 1% share (to save on stamp duties and transaction cost) of the property from you. By being a co-owner, he will be eligible to loan against the property.

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,

Hi Ma'am,

This will be considered your first matrimonial property , hence ABSD remission will be done. Perhaps we could speak further to discuss more comprehensively the crux of your requirements and preferences. Following our discussion, I will be in a better position to conduct an accurate financial projection and breakdown of cash flow for your purchase to narrow down & explore the possible options accordingly at no obligation.

In this new experience with weak market sentiments, it may very well be apt to have yourself walked by step by step in this process to ensure you are not shortchanged in view of your unfamiliarity. This is a buyer's market of weak market sentiments. The question always lies in HOW to leverage on it to get the best possible deal.

I will guide you through the entire purchase- from shortlisting, to negotiation, to establishing loan matters and working out finances (cash/cpf/progressive payment), paperwork, sorting legal matters, providing you with recent up to date transaction caveats for benchmark pricing as well as furnish you with a customized sales report & indicative valuations.

Hello Vernice,

In the event that you omit your spouse name as co-owner, the mortgage loan will be computed based on your income solely. If you have enough fund, you can do it in that manner. However when your spouse obtain his SPR, I would recommend that you do not add him as co-owner but buy another property under his name so as the save on the ABSD payable.

Do feel free to contact me should you require further assistance.

Hi Ms Verncie,

You will not be required to pay an ABSD as this will be your first matrimonial property with your foreigner husband.

Buying the property under both names will also make sense as you will be able to secure a loan based on both your incomes.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can understand your objectives better and provide you with setp by step assistance towards owning your first property!
