Good to hear a happy customer ... Very attracted to their package but have given myself a budget of $40k so hopefully they can come back with this number... Plus a bit is ok cos saving quite a bit on the freebies but not too much... -
Thanks JCase! Will need all the luck I can get... Hmmmn, u mention take possession of the keys... at the 2nd appt? Shouldn't they be the ones to be more worried about the extension than me?? As a buyer, like you hv mention, technically I can take over the flat at 2nd appt so they should be the ones who needs to ensure that they can extend their stay and not me getting my lawyer to do all the paper work.... and by allowing them to extend their stay, I'm liable for anything that happens in the flat? The agent was very tactless when talking to me and she should know that the seller is asking for a favour and not the other way round... I do not want things to turn ugly but seems like it's heading this way

hi CutePinkElephant! go to my blog and you'll find out why I'm having this problem

Hi JCase! There's no black and white so rightfully on the 2nd appt I can take over but out of goodwill, I allow the seller to extend which at the point of exercising the OTP there was no confirmation how long but to a max of 1 mth... When I told the agent why I was so concern when the seller bought his place how much reno needs to be done and she told me not much... She became DUMBFOUNDED! She keeps saying that since I want the 2nd appt on 1st Sept, the handing over will be 1st Oct!! I've decided I'm a Nice woman for too long... Joking and talking to her nicely all the time... and I'm also paying her commission thought she's the selller's agent!! I'll tell her if she's standing at the seller's side, I'LL NOT PAY HER COMMISSION cos she not helping me at all! My intentions were made known from Day 1 and they tell me things last min and expect me to give in??!!

Hi hi! Met up with the Id and I'm quite impress with the freebies... Quote, as I've mention is lower than the last 2 with a couple of missing items but with the package, they are giving away System 3 air con, Hood and Hob, upgrade solid top to granite top and for this weekend only $1000 vouchers to buy WC, sink, etc.... Id very patient as well... 1st appt with him took 31/2hrs and today 2hrs... Gave good ideas and most importantly, help me save $$$ here and there..... -
I'm FUMING mad today... Before I place a deposit for my place, the seller's agent who is also acting on behalf of us, mention to us that the seller needs to contra and will need extension. Max 1 month if his new place need to major overhaul... When seller firmed on his new place, I was told that the place need minimum reno and here came the request that he wants an extension til after Hari Raya. After seeking advise from my FS master, I went back to the agent saying that I would need the seller to hand over by 21st Sept as I need to start my reno by 25th Sept and MUST move in on 6th Dec... 2 weeks later which is today, the agent called me telling me that she had to buy the seller lunch and waited an hour for him.. blah and blah.... then told me the seller agreed and the 2nd appt date will b tentatively around 21st Aug..... 21st AUGUST! It's still during the Chinese 7th month!!! I'm CERTAIN that from the beginning I've told her that I would like to request for the 2nd appt to be on 1st Sept which is just a day after the 7th Mth which is also shortly before the end of 8 weeks!! She told me that she thought I said that I don't want to move in or start reno during the 7th mth and I NEVER told her about wanting the 2nd appt on 1st Sept ... then she went on blabbering that 'Sept is a fasting mth, how can I rush the seller to move out and move in during then (Seller and agent are Malays), she also fast so she understand. I have never fast before so I don't know' ... With all due respect, I know it's tough to not eat anything during the day... but when they sold the place, they should have known it's going to fall during this time??!! Then she say the seller now wanna do this and do that to his new place so need more time!!! I then told her I need to move in by 6th Dec and since the place need MAJOR OVERHAUL, I want to give the contractors sufficient time to do the job. She actually told me to rush the contractors and give the seller more time... Immediately I asked her,'If the contractors didn't do a good job, can I ask for compensation from you??!! You want me to be fair to the seller then who is being fair to me??!!' She actually raising her voice during the conversation with me and all along, I was very nice to her but today, she pushed me to the limit! This issue is not resolve yet and I do not wish to talk to her anymore.... sigh.... How can I get my point across to her...

I really like ur kitchen .... very spacious!!

Hi Hi Samantha! Ur layout is almost the same as mine except the entrance... ur seller bought the recess area, did u do up a shoe cabinet? There's a recess area outside mine too but the seller did not buy it so if i wan to, have to wait til after the 2nd appt to buy it and the process will take abt 3 mths... So DH say buy or dun buy the area oso belongs to us, why bother to go thru the whole thing again.... sigh but I've got GREAT PLANS for that area Might not be extending my WIW into the foyer cos the walk area is very small... Instead will keep the WIW within my room and the foyer as dining area...
