Before you pop the champagne and start yelling \u201crental income\u201d, there are a few things you\u2019d better consider. \u00a0If you\u2019ve never had to own and manage your own property before, there are a dozen places where you can trip up, and suddenly find yourself staring at a five-digit bill. Here\u2019s what you have to brace for:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3><b> If you\u2019re inheriting a flat, you may not be able to keep it<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you already own a house, but now you\u2019re inheriting a flat. Before you start looking for a tenant, you should know you may not be able to keep it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you already own an HDB flat, then you\u2019ll have to sell the one you\u2019re inheriting. You can\u2019t own two HDB properties. If you own private property, then you may or may not be able to keep the flat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the person you\u2019re inheriting it from bought it without subsidies, before August 2010, you can keep the flat. However, if the flat was bought after that date, or with subsidies, then you must sell the flat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, if you are inheriting a flat in which the Minimum Occupancy Period (MOP) of five years isn\u2019t met, you\u2019ll have to move in if you want to keep it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> The restoration and renovation costs will burn a hole in your pocket<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first shock comes when you want to move into an old house, or rent it out. If you think you can just do that tomorrow, then you either inherited it from a very neat home owner, or haven\u2019t actually seen the inside of an old house before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brace yourself, because renovations just for maintenance (i.e. redoing the flooring, fixing the sagging doors) can cost anywhere between $10,000 to $15,000, as a safe estimate for condos. For HDB flats, you still should expect costs to run up to between $5,000 and $10,000. This excludes the cost of new furnishings and air-conditioning, as well as services like pest extermination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For landed properties, such as a semi-detached house, go ahead and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">double <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that estimate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average renovation loan from a bank (don\u2019t use a personal loan, the interest rate is higher) is either six months of your income, or $30,000, whichever is higher. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing to note: if the house you\u2019re inheriting is already in poor condition, do <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not hold off on renovation<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. An old house with maintenance issues is like a sharp pain when you\u2019re over the age of 40: whatever it is won\u2019t clear up on its own by Thursday, and it will get more expensive to fix the longer you wait.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The restoration and renovation cost might also be too much for you to handle. It is a good idea to consider selling the property <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before the damage worsens<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As the holes in the walls get bigger, it also gets harder for your property agent to convince a buyer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> If you inherit a condo and have never paid maintenance before, take a deep breath before you see the bill<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people are used to conservancy charges on HDB flats, but if you inherit a condo \u2013 and are now saddled with condo-worthy maintenance costs \u2013 you\u2019d better take a deep breath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, the bigger the floor space of your unit, and the fewer the residents, the more you\u2019ll be paying. It\u2019s not uncommon for the monthly cost to range between $300 and $500, with some of the fanciest condos having monthly costs that reach four digit figures (common if there\u2019s a concierge service).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other thing to note is that, for many condos, the management committee will try to minimise collection frequency. This means many condos send a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">quarterly <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">bill, so don\u2019t get a heart attack when the first one arrives, and the amount is something like $1,200. There may also be an interest charge for paying late, so don\u2019t take your time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> You CAN end up paying Seller Stamp Duty when you sell an inherited property<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say it\u2019s too much of a hassle to keep the house, and you want to sell it. Most of the time, you won\u2019t be affected by the Seller Stamp Duty (SSD), as you can apply for SSD remission \u2013 you can use the date the property was originally bought as the acquisition date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you\u2019re one of the unfortunate few who inherited a property soon after it was bought (on the first, second, or third year after the purchase), you could end up paying the SSD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h3><b> \u00a0If you were just about to buy a house, remember that the ABSD now applies to you<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that inheriting a property raises your property count. If you\u2019re a Singapore Citizen, for example, buying a property <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">after<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you inherit one would incur a seven percent Additional Buyers Stamp Duty (ABSD).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paying an additional seven per cent, when you\u2019re a home owner and not an investor, makes about as much financial sense as cinema priced popcorn. You\u2019ll most likely have to choose between the home you wanted to buy, and the one that you\u2019re inheriting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can result in having to sell the inherited house quickly, which might mean getting a bit less than your normally would. One way to fix that is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/list-a-property\">list it on 99.co<\/a>, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for maximum visibility<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><b>Don\u2019t let the inheritance become a liability<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One common issue is a stubborn refusal to sell the inherited property, for various emotional reasons. Don\u2019t let that happen to you. If you can\u2019t afford to maintain the property, or you have another dream house you want to live in (but can\u2019t get without incurring ABSD now), then <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sell<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do decide to keep the house, then it\u2019s time to learn to play landlord. No matter how unprepared you may be, don\u2019t let the house become a drain on your finances instead of a boon \u2013 you still need to pay maintenance and taxes, even if you don\u2019t live in it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Credits) So you\u2019re about to inherit a house.
