• Legal Fee
  When buying property (including permitted residential properties), you need to engage a lawyer for legal contracts for the sale and purchase of the property (including permitted residential properties). You can request your Lawyer to give you an estimate of such stamp fees, legal fees and disbursements that will be incurred in the purchase of the property (including permitted residential properties).
  
  
• Stamp Duty
  Stamp duty is a tax on executed document relating to properties (including permitted residential properties) or interest in properties (including permitted residential properties). These documents include a lease, sales & purchase, gift or mortgage of property (including permitted residential properties).

• Property Tax
  Property Tax is a tax on the property (including permitted residential properties), and is payable by the owner whether or not the property (including permitted residential properties) is owner-occupied, rented out or vacant. Property Tax is calculated based on a percentage (Tax rate) of the Annual Value of your property (including permitted residential properties).
