BunBun 5 Report post Posted October 22, 2007 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. !!

BunBun 5 Report post Posted October 23, 2007 Thanks Swatdila Approaching the MP to seek his assistance might be an last resort if it comes down to thatBut 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?wat a fren of mine did was to meet the MP and seek his assistance.

waileong 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2007 I doubt that. HDB just collects the money. But the point is that, someone in CPF has yet to approve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunBun 5 Report post Posted October 25, 2007 In other words, even seek MP's help as a last resort, should it be directed towards HDB or CPF like that? I doubt that. HDB just collects the money. But the point is that, someone in CPF has yet to approve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
