Ownership structures and ABSD strategy

Decoupling, remission routes, trusts, company and child-name purchases, the legal ways to structure a second property, and the audited ones.

Tax, law and compliance

Capital gains, rental income tax, GST, the Residential Property Act, AML checks, inheritance and the cross-border mechanics of buying and selling.

Stamp duty and cooling measures

ABSD, BSD and SSD, the largest cash line in any Singapore purchase, and the one foreign buyers most often model last.

Financing and affordability

TDSR, LTV, MSR and the mortgage rules that decide what you can actually borrow as a non-resident.

Rental yield and returns

Gross versus net, district yield bands, and the costs that separate a brochure number from a real one.

Buying process and due diligence

OTP to completion: eligibility, legal fees, conveyancing, inspection, and what to verify before you sign.

By nationality and residency

Stamp duty tier, financing headroom and eligibility differ by passport. Start here if you hold one of these.

Districts and market structure

CCR, RCR, OCR, Sentosa Cove and the market-wide investment case.
