Hi there I need some advice here. We have consulted Master Chang from fengshuiyinyang, also after reading his reviews here. His recommendations are pretty major work ($$$); disrupted our initial layout plan. As mcuh as I really would like to stick to my own layout plan, I am not having a piece of mind here knowing that it is not to the best interests of my loved ones. However, there's a debate gg on on whether it is really effective to worth the trouble. Should we follow totally ( not comfortable with it as we are merging rooms and changing door locations ) , follow part of it ( main door must still tilt ) or just stick to our own plan which is really more comfortable? Would like to hear esp from people who have consulted master chang too. Also, any idea how much is the additional cost for tilting the main door as we plan to change the main door and gate anyway? Thanks in advance!

I wish to terminate the contract because due to personal reasons, i need a break after the 3 mths should there be no deal . that i have told them at the beginning and they are aware, i guess that's why they rushed to getme sign two wks before expiry. However, there's no potential units in the pictures for me to buy and thus i am not comfortable to go ahead with the sale. Also, after the false claims and the attitude of HSR and agents, I do not feel comfortable working with them already. I have to say that they did their job and that's why when they admit that the false claims were not from them, I am willing to continue working with them based on new terms and conditions once I am ready. I told them taht and they seem to be willing to accept this arrangement, albeit they might want another exclusive to safeguard their interest. For me , once bitten twice shy, im pretty reluctant to sign any contract again. Hoping that we can move on based on mutual trust.

I agree with you but we can claim that we did not agree to the offer/deal bcos the extension of 60 days given is not enuf for us? this extension has to be agreeable by both parties before entering the deal isnt it.

Hi I'm back with interesting updates. I request a look at the option form, sure, all particulars were filled up but there were no signatures from buyers, sellers or even the agents. We, the sellers, did not sign on it. I do not think that it is valid. WRT the standard procedures, sellers are required to sign on the OTP when they make the option to the buyers. As such, I think we are safe should we proceed to small claims. As for the false claim of us requesting $20000 on top of SP, both agents denied making the statement. I got evidences of this as well. So I think I might make a complaint either to case or to SAEA. Didnt want to dwell on this anymore, but hubby insists. We even suggested a settlement with them. To let them carry on the sale with a ready buyer now with reduced commission , but want a written agreement of termination of this exclusive contract from them (just in case) , but they insist on signing anohter exclusive with them, else no termination agreement from them. After hearing this from them, i think i do not even wish to proceed with the settlement but to just write in again to HSR , request non renewal of the contract ( as advised by a lawyer fren) and two weeks later, the contract is deem to be null, with or without the company's reply or agreement. ( Of course, I feel more secure if I can get a confirmation from the company)

Thanks bepgof. You made it much clearer. I think the mistake I made was that the written notice for termination was done thru the company's website's feedback contact form. As such, I do not have a written copy as evidence and also, not very sure when I had submitted the notice. However, i realise that I received the company's reply for the rejection of termination on 10 Jun. So I supposed I have submitted before that. I thought that the termination will take effect 2 wks after the terrmination letter. That's how I interpret. So I was wrong? It auto renew for a whole block of 3 mths and termination has to be after that?? p/s: I just checked my history and realised i accessed the website on 2nd and 14th jun. I guess i should have submitted the notice on 2nd to be able to receive the letter on the 10th. The clause in the contract is like this: "By this agreement and under the following terms, the undersigned owner hereby irrevocably grants _______ the sole and exclusive right to sell the property ______ for a period of 3 months commencing from this date hereof and upon expiration of the said period the exclusive authorisation and right shall continue until and revoked by the owner giving two weeks written notice to the broker in advance. " Anyway, there is a clause like this: "If the owner(s) has cause to believe that the broker is not fulfilling its commitment then the owner(s) shall write to the broker immediately to give notice of intention to terminate this agreement stating the alleged breach. In such event, the broker shall investigate and if it is found true, then the broker shall write to the owner to agree to the termination of this agreement and thereafter neither party shall have any claims or demand against the other party whatsoever. .... " anyway, I believe the broker has given the OTP form to the buyer and they have signed and given him the cheque. However, he did not present me with these but only an sms to inform me , which thereafter I replied to reject the offer.

hi warrior, he is claiming his broker commission

hi guys we have not sold our place yet first of all- we signed the contract with guy called R but all these while , his guy called S is the one who handles everything. We met R only twice- first to sign the contract and 2nd time to bring us to view once. that's all. He is the one who is claiming against us . ok.. the timings go like this: 14 march- signed contract 4 jun- told me that he has secured an offer which is higher than our expected selling price and that he has accepted the cheque and paper from the buyer thru sms. I replied immediately saying that i do not want to accept the offer. he did nto reply anymore. i did not receive the cheque or sign any OTP 8 jun- asked me if i wan to buy back the valuation; i replied asking why should i since it is going to expire soon 14 jun - wrote in to request for termination of contract ( date of expiry is 14 jun) then receive company's letter stating that Mr R does not want to accept the termination and that he has even secured a higher offer than expected and yet we rejected saying we wanted another 20K more ( which is totally false! When i called Mr S to verify, he said he did not say such a thing. ) I wrote to the company , stating the false claims. And when I called the management , he said that Mr R still insist on his story and in that case, the company decides to still leave it to the courts to decide and go ahead with the small claims. However, we cant proceed any sale on our side as the contract is still effective. Right now, i receive many advice saying that the contract is deem expired already, despite their claim that they do not agree to the termination . However, is there a higher authority to verify this? I do not want to risk going ahead with my sale of flat and then ended up breaching their contract.

Hi all I would like to check if anyone has similar experience, esp from HSR. It seemed that the exclusive right to sale contract expires after 3 mths(Jun).. however, advanced 2 wk written notice for termination is required. We have done that and the reply we gotten from the agent is that he doesnt accept the termination and is now claiming small claims against us in subordinate courts for his commission, claiming that he has gotten an offer that met our selling price but we refused to accept it. Our reason for rejecting the offer was that we have already told them we got a ready buyer at that moment already and is not keen to deal with their buyer. Right now, it seemed like we are still bind to that agent and cant proceed on .. is it reasonable? How can agents get the upper hand now and said that we cant terminate their contract?
