    Buyer (you) pays. Seller stamp duty is seller's problem.

    You just need to focus on your role:-

    1% option, cash
    4% exercise, cash (before option expired)
    3% stamp duty (within 2 weeks), cash but claimable from CPF

    95% - Loan% = Remaining % (at least 1 week before completion). Assuming 80% loan, you need to pay 15%. Usage of CPF up to 10% here.
