Yup . It's like that one.

Agents are like that. You can't rely on them to provide A-Z answers so better research on your own. It's standard unwritten rule that buyer pays for valuation. If u really like that place, consider paying the fee which is a minute fraction of the flat cost. No point wrecking the deal this way....

By right is buyer pay. But in my case seller want to keep a copy so we split the cost.

yes...the pple i knew all paid...

this is not hidden cost.

This is standard market practise.

You have the right to refused to buy/pay.

Then CPF has their right , not release fund to pay your HDB.

I mean for a layman first timer. How are we going to know about the "market practise"? of course we ask the Agent about whatever need to pay , pls highlight to us. But it was not.

If u were in my shoe...wat will u think?

1st time selling our flat (going try before getting agent).

Anyway, Seller pays for the HDB Valuation Report ($180 est) first and then, Buyer reimburse since They will need the Valuation Report to get a HDB/Housing Loan.

Your Agent could have pre-empt you on that.. You can read more about Buying & Selling HDB at www.hdb.gov.sg.

there is always www.hdb.gov.sg

it's stated there, to get hdb loan buyer needs to have a valuation report. of cos it did not state, take free from seller or buy from seller.

my agent also did not tell me but i already did some research.
