Sigh...there's no free lunch in the world. Once we take any HDB grant or loan, we are tied to a long list of rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi charemme, thx..i got the sellers no..but always off..sent sms no reply...the agent haiz dnt know wat to say...she say that the new buyer is at nego stage..& i say that if the seller is willing to sell to me i am more than willing to re negotiate...but no answer from their side yet... i am contemplating of going down directly to the flat hoping to catch the seller & talk to him...cause my flat had been sold & my 1st appt is on the 2nd nov...haiz streelah like this...

charemme 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2009 eh what i mean is go down to the flat and ask them nicely what is their intention. on the other hand, could it be they are holding your case, while they are pending reply from potential buyer who could be offering a higher price? u have sold your flat and by which date do you have to handover? Have you consider renting a unit to tide over this period, just incase the purchase fell thru. no bad intentions, but just as a back up plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe that that sellers want to pocket the deposit and re-sell to another buyer. completely within their rights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
