hi joswwl, mind sharing your paint contractor contacts? Thks

Agent told me to inspect once I got the keys from my lawyer, i.e. after completion, and told me to call him immediately if anything is amiss. there is a clause that says "The vendor shall permit the purchaser to view for the purpose of inspection the property prior to the date of completion" I have insisted for the inspection now. Wish me luck Thks all for the advise.

everything has to go thru my agent and the seller's agent, as I do not have the seller's contact. my agent keep saying that it is a norm to inspect only on the completion day itself, unlike HDB. well, 1st time buyer.... not very sure if it's the seller or the seller's agent unwilling to arrange for the inspection. just wanna check if this is the norm for private...

just to check is this practised for condo as well? since my unit comes with an inventory list with some furniture, do i need to arrange for a final inspection? my law firm says i should arrange for 1 before completion but my agent advised me to check on the day of completion... appreciate advise pls. Thks

hi, need some advise.. we are selling our 5 rm point block flat and the HDB staff came for an inspection and told us that we need to install the mild steel handrail at the dinning area with full length window. When our parent bought this flat 15 yrs ago, the contractor had submitted the renovation plan and was approved by HDB. just wondering if the full length aluminium grilles is not allowed all along by HDB as it has to be made of steel or is there a change in the guidelines over the years?

hi all, Just to update, my agent told me that the buyer is having problem with their bank loan and suggested not to extend the OTP to them. He said i can either forfeit the 1k deposit or to refund to the buyer out of goodwill and he will find me another buyer.

thks all for the kind advise. we insisted agent to indicate a date and they did, although it was indicated with additional 2 more days buffer. agent told us that buyer is very keen but they are still handling the documents as the husband is on a 6 months visit pass while the wife is a singaporean. They will be getting married next month and the husband will be applying for citizenship thus requested us to give them additional 2 weeks without forefitting the deposit. All these were not revealed to us until we keep pressing the agent for explaination... still considering whether to extend the OTP after the 2 weeks. say after the OTP expiry, can we still market the house while pending for the buyer documents to be ready and sign another OTP?

my agent says the buyer need somemore time to settle their loan so he DECIDED to leave the option date and expiry blank and it is a common practise. is this a common practise?? i doubt so... our parents are not in hurry to sell and are only willing to sell if the price is right... now we are not sure whether to start looking for a new hse and we might even missed other genuine buyers... headache

thks for the advise. i think most disputes arises from agent's miscommunications or worse still, manipulations in a way they want it to be. right now, it seems like an indefinte waiting for buyer to exercise the option how to determine when exercise of option has taken place as we don't even have a copy of the OTP? based on the acceptance date on the OTP or when the seller cash in the option fee and exercise option fee?

hi, need some urgent advise pls.... our parents (seller) had received the option fee from buyer and were asked to fill up the OTP which we were not given a carbon copy. Subsequently, we found out from our parents that the form is not duely filled up with the date. The option date and the expiry date were left blank and returned to the buyer agent. We checked with our agent and he says he thought we are not eager to move out and the buyer need some more time for their documentation thus he decided to leave the option date open without advising our parents that this will affect the option expiry date. In this case, can we consider this OTP still valid? How about the option fee that we had already banked in? appreciate some advise. Thks
