How Much Stamp Duty Applies at Langdon Heights?

Published 9 November 2026

Duties on a Langdon Heights Purchase

Two duties can arise when a home at Langdon Heights changes hands. BSD, the buyer’s stamp duty, follows a sliding scale on residential purchases, while ABSD, the additional buyer’s stamp duty, turns on citizenship and on how many homes the purchaser already holds. IRAS administers both, and the bill is settled inside a fortnight of the contract being signed.

The home those duties secure sits in a distinctive spot. Langdon Heights is planned on Dover Drive, about 370 m from one-north station, with Fusionopolis about 0.45 km away and National University Hospital about 0.6 km, all straight-line. The parcel is the first private residential site released in Dover-Medway, which URA Master Plan 2025 earmarks for up to about 6,000 public and private homes.

How BSD Builds Up on a Langdon Heights Home

BSD climbs in six steps. The opening S$180,000 attracts 1%, the S$180,000 after it 2%, and the slice beyond that, worth S$640,000, 3%. A further S$500,000 is charged at 4%, the S$1,500,000 that follows at 5%, and anything past the S$3,000,000 mark at 6%. This scale has stood since 15 February 2023.

The figures here were checked with IRAS on 9 November 2026, and the stamp duty page lays out the BSD scale band by band.

ABSD Levels Facing Langdon Heights Buyers

Citizens and Permanent Residents move up the table with each extra home, whereas the foreigner and entity columns hold level whatever the count. These levels took effect on 27 April 2023. For a household weighing a Langdon Heights purchase alongside a home it already owns, the second-home row is the one that governs, and it opens a wide gap between the citizen and PR columns.

An Illustrative Sum, Apart From Langdon Heights Pricing

Take S$2,000,000 as a neat round number, chosen purely to show the arithmetic and unrelated to any Langdon Heights price. Worked through the six BSD steps, it yields S$69,600 in buyer’s stamp duty.

Were that purchaser a Singapore Citizen adding a second home, the 20% ABSD level would put another S$400,000 on top; for a citizen’s first home, BSD alone would arise. The stamp duty calculator handles any other figure or buyer type.

Selling On From Langdon Heights

SSD is borne by the seller. For homes acquired on or after 4 July 2025 the scale shrinks year by year: 16% on a disposal inside the first year of ownership, 12% inside two, 8% inside three and 4% inside four. Past the four-year mark, SSD falls away, so an owner who keeps a Langdon Heights home beyond that point sells clear of this duty.

Loan limits and the 55% TDSR ceiling set by MAS appear on the housing loan page, which pairs naturally with the duty figures above.
