coffee_o 1 Report post Posted September 7, 2009 Hihi coffee_o, Read that you also purchasing your recess area. We actually had the same experience as you when we tried and request to buy the recess area together with our flat purchase. The whole procedure is quite troublesome. For the application for the purchase of recess area, its under 'control' of the branch office, instead of HDB. And previously when my hb went down personally to check, the officer claims that we are not owner of the flat yet so we cant use the standard online form to apply. Then the matter just ding dong here and ding dong there as it's so-called a 'special' case since its not those usual recess area application by owners. And yes, it took ages and like what the HDB officer had forewarn us, its going to delay our flat purchase. In the end, we decided not to go ahead with the purchase of recess area. We just settled the flat purchase and once we are owner of the flat, the whole application process for the recess area became more straight forward. Recently, we just re-apply for the purchase of our recess area. And thank god, everything went through very smoothly. I am not sure which stage is your application now. But if you are facing issue with the recess area application where your flat purchase is affected/delayed, you might want to consider pulling out of the recess area application first and once you finished your 2nd HDB appt, apply for the recess area online. I think it might be much faster. Hi Rasp Thanks for the advice. Yes the HDB branch office did told me that there might be some delays with the 2nd appt due to the purchase of the recess area which I have sarcastically replied to her that there will be abt 8 weeks between 1st appt and 2nd appt and you're telling me that with more than a thousand staff in HDB, you cant complete the purchase with just an additional piece of paperwork ? Therefore she promised me that they will expedite the process for me. In fact, my request has already been submitted by the officers in the branch office even b4 i submitted the form. So hopefully they will keep their words and expedite the process since i will need to shift my gate out should the purchase has been approved. Moreover since I will be purchasing only a very small portion of the porch in front of my main door, I do not see why they will reject my request when all my others neighbors have already done that. Also, I do not have any problems with the delays of 2nd appt so long as the owners agreed to it since I believe sellers is more anxious to get their $$ back rather than me anxious about paying them.
