unless we reject then the 1K forfeit. But if the seller reject the seller will bear all the fine to us and governemt.

There is ONLY one type of OPTION TO PURCHASE.

If you don't sign OTP and present $4k to seller today by 2359hr, your ealier $1K paid will go into seller's pocket.

if u still cannot contact seller and/or his agent after OTP lapses, make a police report with your copy of the signed OTP receipt (that includes ur seller name/NRIC as well as the seller agent's name/NRIC) as proof. there are cheating cases of sellers pocketing the 1k and run road w/o the intention to complete the sale transaction.

You said they are around at home, not overseas as mentioned by the agent. So is your agent or seller agent lying?

Why don;t u pay seller a visit directly? Clarify your doubts with seller directly.

ur agent should help you to pass the cheque and the otp to the owner or their agent. it is their responsibility to get the otp sign once you agree to give the 4k. tell ur agent to refund u the 1k if he make u miss the boat....log a formal complain to CEA if you felt the agent/owner cheated u....

It's very obvious that the seller is out to cheat the buyer in this case. It's in your own interest that u pester them until they give in and sign the OTP form. If not, make a big hoohah and paste posters like what the loansharks do and make them embarassed. Just joking, don't think the Police can do much in this this type of case. Seller will just say go and report lah. They will repeat the ruse over and over again. HDB and SPF are very slow in reacting to such situations. Buyers just blame themselves for the bad luck and just move on. It's not worth wasting time and effort for such a scenario.

Sorry Buyerfish but what you are writing is a little difficult to understand. I am sure we can all appreciate that English may not be a posters first language but you need to understand that some people may need to clarify things from time to time if they are not clear and you should not get upset when they try to do so.

There is ONLY one type of OPTION TO PURCHASE.

If you don't sign OTP and present $4k to seller today by 2359hr, your ealier $1K paid will go into seller's pocket.

As most people are aware, the option to purchase has two stages, the initial purchase and the excise of the option. Just by looking at the amounts mentioned by Buyerfish, most people can work out what they are trying to get over.

To get back to the initial question.

Call your agent and go there at 11pm to excise the option. Make sure someone is with you who has a mobile phone with video facility so if the owner starts to make excuses then video it. Make sure your agent and their agent are also in the video so they cannot claim they were not there. Take the video with you when you file the police report. Make it available when complaining to HDB and to the agents companies. People commonly act very differently in front of a camera.
