Couple sue agency after buyer flips flat for profit Selina Lum Thu, Jan 22, 2009 The Straits Times WHEN a married couple sold their downtown apartment for $688,000 in 2007, they thought it was the best deal they were going to find. But soon after they granted the buyer the right to purchase the property, the two-bedroom Keng Cheow Street apartment was re-sold for $945,000. It was only later that Mr Yuen Chow Hin and Madam Wong Wai Fan found out about the second deal.They also learnt that the woman who bought their flat - and flipped it for a healthy profit - was married to the boss of their real estate agent.

Is it true that after lift upgrading will enhance HDB flat valuation by 20k-30k?

i have same concerns as u

Payment for lift upgrading is 2 years after lift upgrading completion. - this is what I learned from HDB today. Anyone has any experience on this before?

Is it true that after lift upgrading, the value of the flat will be worthed $20-$30k more?

Usually those leaflets have got no company being advertised. They usually are "I am a PR from Taiwan or HK just moved to Singpaore. Willing to pay $40k COV...."

i think u have a good point there!

eg 1 wardrobe, 1 kingsize bed and mattress - will be how much?

it is the bathroom ceiling - more becos of dampness i am not sure if hdb or town council handle it for us

pure impression.

good point.... not expensive but still new, gek sim to throw away so we have to assemble them ourselves after moving right?

the agent can absorb the GST too

I think you should go and claim back your 12k from ERA.

So far, it seemed to be bad and unscrupulous agents tend to be male than female.

At the end of the day, it is better to buy/sell on your own, without going through the agents.

Does the seller need to vacate the house before 2nd appt for inspection? In the end, did everything go well? I think the agent just want to close the deal.

What do you if after buying hdb flat, u discover water seepage, ceiling cracks, etc?

Did the specialists manage to repair the water seepage problem?

may be too late now, on hindsight, it is better to keep cash

wat happen in the end? u r wrong for private properties, buyer is 0%

Do the adding of air-con, new paint, new door/gate, etc help to enhance the valuation of the HDB flat?

They do not have an archived site?

is this the right place for this thread?
