Hiring ID without HDB or other accreditation

[DrBrompton 0]

Hi. Getting my resale flat soon.

I wonder what are your thoughts on hiring an ID without HDB or case trust accreditation. Talked to a few IDs including one contractor and there are two which are shortlisted. One, the boss, came to see me twice at my office to go through my requirements and quotation. However his company seems quite new (hence not track record to apply for HDB accreditation) and besides, he said as an ID they don't need any, as they hire contractors who are HDB approved. This guy has been in the ID biz with other firms for some time. Payment is progressive payment. Quotes seem reasonable although some detailed specs are missing (partly coz I have not shown him the flat yet). 

Has anyone have experience hiring such IDs without HDB accreditation? Thank you for sharing!

HDB accredited companies doesn't mean they are 100% good. There are still some black sheep, you need to base on your judgement to assess the companies on how they handle your queries.
