Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, foreigners can purchase most types of private residential properties in Singapore, including condominiums and apartments. However, landed properties require approval from the Singapore Land Authority. There are no restrictions on buying commercial properties.

Beyond the purchase price, expect to pay Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD), Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) for foreigners at 60%, legal fees, property agent commission (typically 2% of purchase price), and property tax. Our team provides detailed cost breakdowns for each property.

The typical timeline is 8-12 weeks from offer acceptance to completion. This includes option period (usually 2-3 weeks), conveyancing, mortgage approval, and final completion. We guide you through each step to ensure smooth processing.

Standard rental leases are typically 2 years, with a diplomatic clause allowing early termination after the first year. Shorter leases of 6-12 months are available but often come at a premium. We help negotiate terms that suit your needs.

Tenants typically pay first month's rent, security deposit (1-2 months rent), agent commission (usually half month's rent), and stamp duty. Total upfront costs usually amount to 2.5-3.5 months of rent. Utilities and maintenance fees are separate.

Most rental agreements do not include utilities (electricity, water, gas, internet). Maintenance fees for condominiums are usually paid by the landlord, but this should be confirmed in the tenancy agreement. We ensure all terms are clearly stated before signing.

Foreigners purchasing residential property in Singapore pay 60% ABSD on the purchase price or market value (whichever is higher). This is in addition to the standard Buyer's Stamp Duty. The ABSD was increased in April 2023 as part of cooling measures.

Yes, property tax is payable annually based on the Annual Value of your property. Rates range from 0% to 32% for owner-occupied residential properties and 11% to 36% for non-owner occupied properties. Commercial properties have different rates. Our advisors help you understand your tax obligations.
