Is this really considered 'qing xing'? When Ah Soon pulls his workers over to jess's unit, it also means that some other owner out there will have no workers doing the work for him/her for weeks. As long as he doesn't employ enough manpower for all units at hand, some owners will suffer and have to wait I really feel sorry for all of u...

If you are taking a new unit from HDB (BTO, Balloting exercise), you are not eligible for the HDB grant. If your combined income exceed 8K, you are also not eligible for HDB loan.

$230-88 (10% utility fee increase) =$142 How much rent are u charging her? Hmm...If you are charging $500 rental, you still earn $358 monthly after deducting the utility fee incurred by her. U are the landlord, of course u have the right to decide the rental fee of your room. But take note that there are many rooms available for rent outside. If u increase the rent too much, she may decide to move out lor.

Call up the HDB officer in charge of your resale transaction. He/she will be able to offer you the answer. I actually refuse to take up the first-timer grant and HDB loan because I do not wish to be 'lock in' to my resales unit for 5 years.

Hi Zhiz, Can u share how much did u pay for your sofa? I like its color and texture! Thanks.

It doesn't seem so nice to discard people's letters right? How about contacting the prev owner to collect his mails?

Well being kind to the buyer will ensure that all important letters sent to your old address will not land into the dustbin next time LOL~

As a customer, I'm concerned about price and quality. Duration isn't a concern to me. As long the painting is completed less than 3 weeks, it's fine with me haha. I understand that quality work needs time.

Hope everything can be settled nicely without the old couple having no place to sleep. Keep us updated

10min walk from prime location's mrt station, yet no COV? If got such unit, I also want leh!!!

Personally, I will talk to the bank first. Because among the 3 parties involved, the bank seems to be the most rational one to handle now. You have the HDB letter to prove that the 1st appt date is postponed with no fault on your side. I also think that the bank must have encourtered special client cases like yours before. What is the name of your bank?

Wah the furniture design never change after 10 years!

Thanks for sharing the address. Appreciate it

This $80 is the resale application fee charged by HDB.

It's faster to check the dates online at HDB website. You can use your singpass account to login to your HDB page. After you login, click on "Resale" link.

It's better that we don't 'tear the bridge' with our seller/buyer. I hope to maintain an amicable relationship with my seller. I heard of stories where buyers sent gangsters to seller's house to force them to move out; sellers smashed the toilet bowls, damaged the pipes and dirtied whole house before handing it over to buyers.

Haha it doesn't bother me cos there are still many other agents who I can engage. I agree with you that it's no point dealing with him cos he may cause me headaches in future. I posted his name here, as I hope to warn sellers against him due to his way of handling buyers. Nope, that's not my case. Anyone can be an agent. An ex-murderer out from jail can be an agent too. As long as the agent can clock high sales and earn $$ for company every month, his/her boss won't bother how he/she handles the clients lor. I'm quite lucky in the sense that the agent, who is representing me now, is knowledgeable and gives good service so far.

Just to share... Please do not engage this agent to sell your house. KELV WU 9003 8567 HSR I was a direct buyer at that time when I called him up to request to view his units listed at Propertyguru.com.sg. He asked me if I got 30K COV to fork out on the phone. After I replied I was willing to fork out 20K COV, he hang the phone. Then I called him back but he refused to answer my phone calls. If the unit really catches any buyer's fancy, I bet he/she will probably be willing to pay more than his/her initial budget. He was dropping potential buyers too quickly. I wouldn't want to hire such an agent to sell my unit in future. I managed to get another agent to show me the units in the area which I was interested in. Half of the 4-room units in that area actually asked for 20K COV. In the end, I managed to buy a unit at 20K COV.

Bingo! That happened exactly to me lor sigh...

I'm happy that you solved your headaches heehee.

So what's the real situation?

I've been renting a room for about a year with my hubby now. There's no available room at parent house. Inlaws don't want us to move into their house. If the seller die die wants to move out of the house later, what else can we do? We can only push/nag/negotiate with them. The seller and his family also need a shelter before their next house is ready. So I agree to their extension request out of goodwill.

The extension is 8 weeks after your 1st appt or 2nd appt? My 1st appt takes me 3 months, 2nd appt takes me another 8 weeks. The 6-8 weeks wait after 1st appt is standard for all resale transactions. I feel sorry for your plight. You are getting so much craps from them. Real estate agents and ID/contractors are industries involving big amounts $$ but are not well-regulated by the govt.

It's ridiculous that she has $$ to go for 1-month tour but no $$ to pay you rental! Please call your lawyer and ask about your legal rights. She doesn't deserve your kindness anymore lor. I'm worried that hdb may cancel your resale application if seller doesn't show up for 1st appt. You better call up hdb to check too.

Some seller's new house may not be ready for them to move in yet. Therefore they will ask for extension period. Of course you have the right to ask them to pay you rental for the extension period.
