Appeal Case Pending Hdb Approval.

[BunBun 5]

Hi all,

We'd had booked an EA unit in Jurong West in August & still waiting for HDB to inform us to sign agreement.

The unit is ready except for the appeal for the housing grant which is pending approval by HDB's top management. We'd checked with the officer in charge and the response was that she'd can't do anything to expediate the approval of the housing grant but only can expediate early release of the keys upon the results of the housing grant.

Now does anyone have any similar experience regarding this? What happens if there's no results after 3 months as there's supposed to be 3 months period for an HDB transaction to take effect. !!

wat a fren of mine did was to meet the MP and seek his assistance. MP wrote to HDB, appeal was succesful within a week or 2.... after they waiting for abt 2mths with hdb officer giving same reasoning as wat u got.

Thanks Swatdila

Approaching the MP to seek his assistance might be an last resort if it comes down to that

But does anyone else also have any idea what happens after 3 months if HDB's management have not yet get back to us on the results? Would it mean that the application for our unit is still on hold even after 3 months?

This can be really vexating considering that the shortest time to have the keys is less than 3 months.

How?

I thought the grant was by CPF.

yah, but i think hdb is the one who decides how much?

I doubt that. HDB just collects the money. But the point is that, someone in CPF has yet to approve it.

In other words, even seek MP's help as a last resort, should it be directed towards HDB or CPF like that?
