Hi, many thanks to all for responding. I'll stick to the night before the 2nd appointment then. Erm, what exactly do we look out for - other no structural damage.....? Basically the condition of the flat is as it was when we signed the OTP? HDB's not very clear on defining what falls under the seller's responsibility to fix up, if any. thanks.

I'm buying a resale HDB flat and would appreciate some advice on setting a date for the flat inspection before the 2nd appointment. HDB's website says that at the 2nd appt "The buyer confirms that the flat has been vacated and its condition is acceptable". So I've confirmed the inspection date to be the night before the 2nd appt, since the sellers won't be moving out until 1 or 2 days before the appt date. However, the property agent says we should inspect at least a week ahead so that the sellers have time to rectify anything that is not in order. But then anything can also happen in the week after inspection, before we get hold of the keys, since they would not have moved out yet. Bringing forward their shift date isn't really an option. Would appreciate advice on whether I should move my inspection date earlier? If I stick to the current date, it means that if there's something that's not satisfactory, we have to inform hdb at the last minute to change the 2nd appt date (can be done?)? What did most of you do? Many thanks.
