Hi, Can PM me K's contact? Thanks!

I think the wire is hiding behind the curtain. You cant see it from the photos. That is why the tv is at the corner.

paid 3k cov for 5rm sembawang flat in April last year before property prices started climbing. 123 sqm, high floor, corner unit near sembawang NPCC. about 15mins walk to mrt. flat was rented out and in terrible condition. did major, full renvo for the flat.

Hi Fishpond, After your second appointment, you are officially the flat owner. The keys must be handed over to you on the second appointment to complete the transaction. Since you are taking bank loan, you should have also engaged a private lawyer to handle the legal procedures. For the 2nd appointment, you do not need to be physically present as the law firm will represent you to complete the legal procedures for taking possession of flat. You can take the keys from the law firm at your convenience. However, if you want to be present during the 2nd appointment, no one can stop you from doing so. You should get the keys immediately right after the 2nd appointment and not 3 days after. Your agent is not trust worthy. Why is there a 3 day period? You are the legal owner after the 2nd appointment and if any illegal activities takes place during that 3 days, you are liable to answer for it. I did not attend my 2nd appointment as I was overseas on that day. I collected the keys from the law firm the following week when I am returned back. The law firm should safe keep the keys for you if you are not able to attend the 2nd appointment and not pass it to the agent. The agent has no legal rights to safe keep your keys. Is your lawyer recommended by the agent? Regardless, you should inform your lawyers to hold the keys for you in your absence (if you did not attend the 2nd appointment) and not pass it to the agent. It may be a good idea to change your locks (main gates) immediately after the second appointment as the agent may have a duplicate set from the sellers. Alternatively, add a extra padlock to your main gate to prevent unauthorized access to your flat. Take note that you may need to pay any remaining balance of the property tax and conservancy charges to the seller (if applicable). On your first appointment, the HDB officer will inform you about the charges. The hdb data is a rough guide and may not accurately portray the market. The COV depends on other factors such as location, proximity to amenities, MRT etc However, now people are always trying their luck and asking for ridiculous sky high prices. If your flat is at popular and good location, 30K COV is common. I did my own flat hunting and met a number of agents. I know how unscrupulous and unethical some agents can be. I was also almost conned by an agent once. Luckily the deal fell through and I managed to find my ideal flat at a better location with much less COV and bigger floor area in the same town. luckily I met a nice agent and sellers this time and my overall resale experience was pleasant. I hope the industry gets regulated and weed out all the bad agents/practices.
