OIC...!! okok... think mayb i was confused by the HDB Resale Officer. was told to check if for "additional damages" like cracks etc that i did not see before/during OTP as it may hv been covered by furniture. since like u mentioned that it is to only check if they vacated the premises den i tink dun nid it liao... thanks....!

I also wish I could give & take... when OTP everything ok... early move in, will check repair of ceiling etc etc.. now after 1st appt sign everything no have dats is y i'm kinda upset over these issues... worse is currently, the unit is rented out to "i dunno who"... went up this mrng for the ceiling issue saw "fresh" marker drawings on the kitchen cabinets...!! i'm speechless liao....

Hi therat... Am not doing reno. as my blk will be gng to poll for upgrading soon was thinking to do mini reno when the blk is upgrading in fact i bought it at ORIGINAL condition. dun hv so much cash on hand now too juz minor repairs like fixing the spalling ceiling, rewiring & painting there's a cracked tiled wall above the rubbish chute hopper. dunno other walls got crack anot but I was asked to write & sign an indemnity form stating the seller will not be responsible for any damages to the flat if gng to hand me keys earlier and will only meet to give me keys after 7pm (on selected days) if i agree on their terms but they cut off the electricity supply liao & i'm not able to check. by the time i check its the next day of the date on the indemnity form. so i cannot tell HDB officer on 2nd appointment on the 2nd inspection...?? i felt so angry & confused now

Seller refuse to let me go for 2nd inspection... can they reject us from doing so...?? seller mentioned if i wanna collect keys earlier (which we had an "early move-in" agreement) den i can forget abt the 2nd inspection. i hv promised to fill in an indemnity form for my "mini touch-ups" in the flat upon early collection of keys... but if i insist on hvg 2nd inspection during the day / before handing me the keys.. den i can shall hv to wait for 2nd appointment den take my keys. brush me off and say that i can inspect all i like when after 2nd appointment...

HI Mark, do u hv any idea who will be the one calling for the 2nd inspection? seller to call or buyer to make request...? cos i asked some of my frenz.. most hv not done this before. thanx

I will choose (A) why..? 1) location central it's convenient to go anywhere 2) low cov it's pretty hard to find low COV now 3) unit age around 25 years i prefer more mature estates (sqm bigger...??) 4) need to redo entire house as u mentioned both are low floor & valuation difference about 50k if u have that extra for higher COV why dun use the difference between the "higher COV & lower COV" to simple reno the flat...?? 5) more amenities. everything (shops/mrt/food centre i assume) will be nearer and more accessible.

as far as i know of, if the seller is extending their stay after 2nd appt, any damages will be beared by the new owner (buyer). we wouldn't know what will happen in between this extension period. it is up to the buyer to discuss with the seller should any inconvenience/disputes/damages, who will be accounted for it? on the "rental" issue (if there is), it is the sole discretion between buyer & seller.. HDB is not going to interfere/mediate any issue after the 2nd appt (if i'm not wrong) juz my 2 cents worth able to share abit of ur problems?

Hi All, i was advised to have a 2nd inspection ard 2-7 days (provided seller move out liao) before my 2nd appointment. the 1st inspection was done before my OTP & the seller is required to fix the windows. i was informed it was done (as required by HDB before the 2nd appt.) when i called the HDB Tech Officer (HDB branch T.O.). regarding the 2nd inspection before the 2nd appt, was told the area had not have a 2nd inspection requested by anyone before. has anyone gone through this procedure before...?? pls advise... Much appreciated...

Love the scenic view from ur flat... Juz done wif my 1st appt & moving to Marsiling soon too... i definitely need to start getting quotes for the kitchen Doubt i will be doing the toilet as well Hoping the Upgrading programme will kick in soon. Have spalling & water seepage issues in the MBR & Common toilet.. can PM me ur contractor's number...? 10Q

Will be gng for my 1st appt in a couple of days time. Hope can see the seller & discuss abt the spalling ceiling. Think i will try to contact HDB again & see if they can help me do the inspection & see how it goes. *fingers crossed*

Hi, I'm new here in RT. have the same issue of spalling ceiling for my resale flat. initially during discussion over the sale & making OTP, me & my family highlighted the ceiling spalling for repairs in both the bathrooms. was told they will go thru 1st inspection & check with the HDB officer regarding the ceiling repairs. now after exercise the OTP, eller agent revert say refused to repair the ceiling works saying dat the officer nv say hv to repair the spalling ceiling...!!! i'm now stuck in the situtation whereby the HDB 1st appt is coming & the repair of the ceiling is not honoured. upon checking with the officer dat did inspection, ceiling spalling is NOT in the check list during inspection. felt cheated by the seller agent (seller always not present during discussions & viewing) when msg the seller agent, the reply was very prompt & an immediate "NO" or "Cannot". dun tink the seller agent ever call the seller to talk abt it at all. HDB Officer mentioned that the seller have to report in order to get the ceiling done. the flat isn't officially mine so "There is nothing much HDB or buyer can do". is there a way i can get the seller to do it...?? my 1st appt is next week... pls help...
