Thanks for all the inputs. Very Much appreciated. I have spoken to Agent. Was informed that the necessary documents to push 2nd appt and claiming of interest for since tenants not ready to move out yet would be drafted ( 2 different letters ) and handed over to me by this coming Monday. Will keep you guys updated of the outcome.

Thanks for all your inputs and I welcome more. As a first time buyer I am still new to all this. For me I have taken a HDB Loan. Tenancy of seller is of the whole unit and not just one room. Agent happens to be a friend of the seller and so he is not being very transparent with me. I somehow feel he is more on the seller's side. I think what I would do now is i) Push 2nd Appt Date to end Jan 2011. (This from what I know has to be done in writting with both signatures of seller and buyers). This is subject to if the seller is agreeable with postponing the 2nd Appt. ii) IF the 2nd Appt is postponed to end Jan 2011 and the seller still has not vacated his tenants from the premises- I will Inform the HDB officer that I will be claiming interest from the seller for everyday that the seller's tenant overstays. If the seller is not agreeable on the postponing of the 2nd Appt then I guess I will just have to start claiming interest from the first schedule date of the 2nd Appt. I guess the HDB officer should be able to settle these claims? I intend to do it in this sequence...How?

I am a buyer of a resale flat. 2nd Appt with HDB has been scheduled for mid Jan 2011. Seller now says that his tenants can only move out in end of Jan 2011. (He tells me to take the key first and move in later, which I think is not fair to me). Flat will not be vacated till end Jan 2011. I am in good faith willing to push my 2nd Appt to end Jan 2011 so that I can get a vacant flat but I understand that this has to be a written agreement which both seller and buyer must agree and sign and then give to HDB. i) What happens if I push the 2nd appt to end Jan and the seller's tenants still not ready to move out after my key collection? ii) I understand that I am able to claim some interest/cash?? from the sellers if tenants does not vacate?? iii) Is there a template to this where I can download/cut and paste to ensure that I will be given a vacated flat end Jan 2011 and claim from seller if he does not hold his end of the bargain? At least this will ensure integrity. iv) and if I were to claim? is this via HDB or some civil thing? Kindly pls advice....very much appreciated. Thank You.
