The Home We've Been Looking Forward To

[pinkpetter 0]

After many many months of searching, my family and I finally found a place.

Because there are 5 of us (unlike some of you newly-weds) there were soooooo many considerations. TONS AND TONS of considerations each time we looked at a place. Had to look at space, number of rooms, 5 different sets of criteria. Really died. I think we looked at at least 50+ units in this area. Maybe even more.

Now that we've found the right one. You can imagine the relief....

Only that there's more trouble to come.... URGHHH

Initially when we signed the option they told us they could log it in immediately and get us 1st appt date at the end of Sept or beginning of Oct. My friend who logged in her application 2 days later got 3rd Oct for her 1st appt. So I felt some relief.

Then... the agent... delayed... and delayed... and delayed... And TODAY when I asked about the date, then she say HAVEN'T SUBMIT!

SO ANGRY!!! and we pestered her throughout the day then finally the admin people at her office called at 4plus (close to HDB closing time) to confirm the submission. An hour later the agent called my dad (dare not call us) to say that our 1st appt is on 31st OCT!!!!! That's 2 months from now!

I told her to go recitify with HDB and push for earlier date then she say HDB close liao! But ... She was the one who went to submit so late what?! URGHH

Really a killer.

So what action do you plan to take against the agent for delaying?

[pinkpetter 0]

*sigh* As of now, we told her to call HDB and try to push for another date. Her delays cost us money and my leave cos we have everything planned to a T. Really pissed with her. I'm going to harrass her today.

Wah you very patient le. I didn't know she's not on the SAEA scheme wor! Means she's not accredited la! no wonder everything also don't know. She didn't even know how to fill in the form. I had to tell her! Alamak. *faints* You're very patient le. But I'm not sure I can afford to be this patient. Cos I cannot take leave one. only got block leave, cannot choose. So must aim to have renovation and moving of house during nov-dec period. Urgh going to harrass her now. Thanks for sharing that bit of info!
