:jawdrop: HDB did not inform you?

Don't think it's allowed. There are people who have enquired from HDB, offering to top up for their own tiles but HDB rejected it.

Just gotten a reply from my HDB officer (i tried to enquire to take posession of my unit earlier) :

Dear Albert,

As improvement works are being carried out to the whole contract, for safety reasons we are sorry we unable to issue keys to applicants earlier than 6 months notification period. We seek your understanding.

:yamseng::notti::unsure:

Does it means we must wait till all blocks have finished their rectifications, then they can start issuing keys? :(

That is wat they always say.. my HDB office oso said, for safety reasons, they can't promise to release the keys earlier...

Then he even told us dat we've signed to agree dat it'll be 6mths :notti:

Why not u tell him, u nit yr flat soon and give him a very good reason. Ask him to help expedite? :dancingqueen:

Tried le. Even say i going for oversea assignment so hoping can get keys earlier :P

And this is their reply

Alternatively, you may wish to defer your key collection until after your overseas assignment. You may submit your overseas posting letter to us so that we can schedule an appropriate date for you when you return.

Hi guys,

some update of my joint inspection for defects this morning.

for most of the stuffs listed, they will rectify for me, such as re-align my metal door, provide metal cap for HHS, improve my balcony door for better slide, change vanity top, change WC, sandpaper and polished rusted window hinges and magnetic door catch, patch up cracks on wall, chemical wash again due to plenty of black oil stains on the flooring. all should be done by end of the month as mentioned by the TO and contractor

kayser, can share what kinda stuffs do they don't do then?

oh. all the windows there will be a rubber lining along the frame. these rubber linings normally will be deformed due to the windows being shut for 5-6 years liao. These will not be able to rectify :notti:

All the rest they should be able to change or rectify for u
