THE head of the Real Estate Developers' Association of Singapore has urged the government to urgently consider allowing first-time upgraders from an HDB flat to a private property to defer payment of the additional buyer's stamp duty (ABSD) till six months after the completion of the private property.
This follows the government's clampdown on Monday on the re-issuance of options to purchase (OTPs) by private housing developers.
