You 'grow' younger as you age? we grow older as we age - 怀旧 Lol

Hi sorry didn't reply your PM. Today is an emotional roller-coaster for us. We bought our place at block 3XX; sorry can't tell you much now as we are fighting for the house with our sellers who suddenly want to back out after our 1st appointment! Our 2nd appt has even been set on 24 April so by right we are supposed to start renovation around the same time as yours... Hopefully all will go well

Well....rest assure.. things will work out smooth

Just read about your situation. Hope things are going smoothly for you now? I think they most likely wont insist on cancellation since they will be sued and their agent surely advise them not to do that. Unless they are testing water to see if you will drop out?

Anyway good luck and keep us updated

So sorry to hear about your situation. We got into a similar situation a few years ago. For your case, I think it is greed. Mine is not so straight forward. We wanted a flat at a specific location with lift level. My father had a stroke then & although he recovered, he had problem walking. So we decided to get a flat near to his favorite coffee shop and barber so that my father has easy access to these places. When we found the unit, we already sold off our place and the seller of new flat disappeared after the 1st appointment. Later we learnt that the seller who is above 55, had married a young Filipino and had a 2 year old son. As he had financial difficulties and had trouble paying for the flat, he decided to downgrade. However, he bought the flat at the peak of the price and when he sells it, the Singapore'a economy is in recession. As he is above 55, he realized that if he sells, all the money goes to his CPF and he would not get a single cent. Later we also learnt he did not pay the town council for 3 years which must be paid before flat could be sold. We had sympathy for the seller but we were put in a difficult position. In the end, we ended up paying all the outstanding town council fines and agents of both parties waived off their fees.

It's 8pm, the deadline that we gave the sellers yesterday but no news. Agents seem to be talking to them still... Sianz...

Wah ur hse din come easy...

@PinkTissue wow your family & you are such nice folks! Guess you will be treasuring this house a lot now!

We will definitely be treasuring our place cos of all the ups and downs we are going through. But then again with such COVs and COEs now, we are now all slaves to our houses and cars!

are they asking for a lot more? 20k?

At 815pm, Mr Seller called his agent to say "proceed". In other words, proceed with the sale. WTH, as if he can suka suka back out anytime he likes!

From the first time we heard that they want to cancel the sale till today, we have heard all sorts of excuses why they change their mind. When we say all sorts, it is really ALL sorts of excuses - very drama! Excuses with COV, with health, with Mrs Seller, with 'being forced by agent to sell' etc, it gets more & more ridiculous.

We are glad that we held on till now and didn't believe the lies. But still do not feel assured cos Mr Seller looks like the sort who will conveniently forget what he promises and starts to drama again.

So we are going to consult our lawyer & perhaps draft an agreement or some sort to really bind the sellers down. If they breach this again, we will proceed to sue them.

Now will this work? Guess it will cost us some money but we want peace of mind...

With all the unpleasantness that is happening now, our meal times have gone haywire

We are of the same family by Makanology, on Flickr

Tonight's super late dinner of mee goreng was excellent though! But not spicy enough. Definitely better than its yellow counterpart - Fishball noodles... Still those staying in Jurong, the 24hrs food court next to Pioneer MRT station has nice options

Even Master Pika's dinner time has been affected for the last few nights since the incident started. He now has dinners at 11pm...
