Hi, appreciate your sharing. It is either decouple to free a name out to purchase another unit or work out the breakdown for the current unit to own 2 units each.
Looking forward to assist you at 9696 4398  or email me at stewartlim96964398@gmail.com

Hi Sir/Mdm,

The best way to own a 2nd property is to do a decoupling on your existing EC and use the free up name to purchase another property without the need to pay Additional Buyer Stamp Duty.

However this would depend on the loan eligibility and whether you have sufficient cash flow to do the decoupling and purchase a 2nd property. I have assisted many of my clients to decouple and purchase a 2nd property.

Please feel free to contact me so that I can gather more information from you and determine whether it is feasible plan for you.

Regards,

Testimonial from my Clients
We have the privilege to work with Nick on our recent house purchase and we are extremely grateful for all the help he rendered to make the purchase a seamless experience!
Nick is attentive to all the requirements we have for our purchase and in the short span of time, he was able to provide us with potential shortlisted units that meet our criteria. (A big lifesaver for family with young kids and limited availability!) When conducting a viewing, Nick is highly proactive as he can be seen taking notes, asking questions, checking the conditions (that we missed or never thought of) and etc.
Overall, Nick remains reactive and portrays professionalism in this entire process. We would definitely recommend him to our friends and family who are looking for their next home/move opportunity.

Jeannie & Victor (Buyer) Dec 2023
Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a property of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.
Susana (Buyer)

Nick is very pro-active in helping us to resolve whatever questions and problems that we encountered. All the issues are settled even before us having to request or ask for a second time. He was very frank and transparent with all the details, limitations and advantages that we wouldn’t have known. I think this is the most important virtue to be successful in this line. I will surely recommend him to anyone who needs his service because I trust that they will be equally satisfied!!
Mr and Mrs Chan (Sold and Bought a property through Nick)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations.
We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”

Hi,

Here are the options available to you:

1. Retain your current MOP-ed EC and purchase an additional private property (Note: a 20% ABSD will apply).
2. Decouple ownership of your current MOP-ed EC, freeing up one name to purchase another property without incurring ABSD.

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
-- My husband and I wish to commend the sincere attitude and good customer service rendered by your staff Jenny, who handled the sale of our 5R HDB flat early this year. We have met several agents but none as genuine as Jenny. Being a seller agent, she took our interest at heart in handling the sale, unlike other agents who are self-interest. Jenny is punctual and prompt in the whole dealings and we were convinced that such an agent is hard for find nowadays. Jenny is a trustworthy, honest, sincere and hardworking agent. We are happy with her service and would gladly recommend her to our friends in future. Jenny is an asset to Propnex and the organisation should value her. Thank you Jenny for her efforts--
Mr and Mrs Soo (HDB seller)

--Jenny is very committed and responsive to her clients and she has spent hours updating them and looking out for great deals and even tailor-made property proposal geared towards their needs. Will certainly refer her to others and will definitely approach her again in her future--
Nick and Kim (New launch buyer)

--Jenny did a great job helping my wife and I sell our unit. She took active steps to walk our neighbourhood to understand what she was marketing. During the marketing period, she managed potential buyers and provided timely updates and recommendations so we could stay on top of the process. Overall, Jenny was professional and helped us to achieve a positive result which we are very thankful for--
Aaron ( HDB seller)

--Jenny was very passionate and went the extra miles to help. Thanks to her professional advice and recommendations, I had finally found my dream home--
Yvonne (New launch buyer)

--Appreciate Jenny's clear and prompt communication style with us and other stakeholders. She was also patient and client-centered throughout the process of finding a home that met our criteria. As a first-time home buyer, we appreciate how she went out of her way to explain the process and answer questions we had--

1. **Decoupling vs. Joint Ownership:**
You have two options to acquire a second property—either decouple your existing EC to free up one name for a new purchase, or look into dividing the current property so both can own separate units. Each approach has its own pros and cons, and involves some risks, especially with larger investments.

2. **Strategic Asset Progression:**
While it’s fantastic that your first property is fully paid off, acquiring a second property should be approached with care. It’s crucial to evaluate your financial situation, goals, and timeline. A thoughtful strategy is essential to making a sound decision.

3. **Decoupling for Second Property:**
One effective strategy is to decouple your existing EC, which allows one person to purchase a new property without facing the Additional Buyer Stamp Duty (ABSD). This could provide a clearer path toward expanding your real estate portfolio.
