Lake believes that supply of modern ultra-luxurious residences will certainly remain “highly constrained”, considered that the current air conditioning actions might make it more challenging to obtain the 80% agreement needed to proceed with a cumulative transaction, specifically for developments in the core central region (CCR) where foreign property is much higher. This is since foreign homeowners are going to need to pay a higher ABSD (Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty) when they get a substitute property “and also as a result may be less keen to participate the collective sale,” he adds.
