Prune 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2009 My agent said she submitted the application to admin on Tuesday and her admin will submit to HDB, but after a week, no news from HDB regarding my fist appt date leh. Will she purposely delay it to buy more time for the seller to get a new place? Btw the option money cashed by the seller so it is a valid contract now. And this agent also one kind, think she charging me admin fees for manual submission while her office is one of the biggest in Singapore which they can submit online.

I am not too sure why will he be delaying the submission...the only thing that I can think of is that both seller and buyer have the same agent so maybe the seller talk to the agent and ask him to delay it first.. Yes you need to check it to HDB site and see the status. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue79 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2009 Seller & buyer using same agent??..Oh no..not a gd idea coz there's tendency for conflict of interest to arise and complicate matters..Wish you luck yeah!

Bighead 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Dear All I m a newbie here... To my understanding, recently there has bn a long Q for hdb submissions. Hence the wait can be as long as up to about 3mths. My agt submiited one on 21 Jul & the EARLIEST date he gotten for his seller was 7 Oct. So u can imagine, tats abt 10wks of wait. It's also true tat agts can play around w/ the date for 1st appt. Bt given the situation now, 10 - 12wks is the min wait. For us, we compromise w/ our sellers & buyers cos we r doing a contra, so end up when my agt submiited for us las wk, our appt is towards end Oct, approx 3mths (12wks).

I think HDB has hired more temp staff to rectify this long queue, it was on Straight Times this week, maybe you can check with your agent again if there is any changes.

Hi all, thank you for your advise, yes we are using same agent because it was an Open House, so think the seller agent will not co-broke. Anyway F her on Monday, ask her her admin got cho kang bo, then she LL go submit and came back with 16th October. Sure is long wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warrior88 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2009 Before excercising the OTP, seller agent ask me if mine is normal sales, I say yes. Both seller, buyer same agent because not allow co broke. 1st appointment can be early August, but agent opt for mid Aug, cause seller don't want too early. And claim that I must respect the seller and not for my convenience. Just an example to agent taking seller sides. Sometimes, feel like just calling off the deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
