Repairs Works On Selling And Buying A Resale Flat

[irius123888 1]

Hello.

Do i need to fix up my spoilt window when im selling my flat? Ie. Cannot open outwards or sliding problem.

If the buyer did not ask or check and they sign the OTP, am i still liable for the repair?

As well as spoilt cabinet doors or toilet doors. Due to wear and tear.

Likewise, i like to know my rights when im buying a resale flat later.

2)

The kitchen sliding door and bedroom wardrobe door are specially designed to my liking. Also, the ceiling fan.

Understand that I cannot remove them when I sell the flat.

I really like to retain them in my new house, what can I do?

1. it depends. normally, if u make known to the buyer about the condition of the house, and if the buyer is fine with it, u dont need to do back. its only if the buyer is going to use back the existing items, then u need to repair. but i believe all these small problems can be worked out between seller and buyer.

2. if u really like some of the fittings, just redo everything the same way for your new house. some items such as sliding door will not be able to fit your new house due to dimension and stuff like that.

window, I will worry HDB inspection more then buyer.

HDB officer come down for inspection, they might want you to make it good.

Inspection fail, cannot sell.

If the buyer did not ask or check and they sign the OTP, am i still liable for the repair?

as above.

Unless you know the buyer want to change every single thing.

As well as spoilt cabinet doors or toilet doors. Due to wear and tear.

resale flat - sold as it is except those been spot during HDB inspection.

Buyer right ... don't have.. buy "at is it" condition

those are FIX item, By right, cannot be remove.

BUT you want check with buyer.. does they want it?

If yes.. then you have no right to remove it.

If they don't want, then you can ask them, can you remove it. Ask nicely.

Do take note, some buyer want to buy a house with min reno, to save $$

Ask before sign OTP
