Pls take a photo of the cheque and OTP and complain to CEA. Ridiculous for a property agent not to know basic procedures.

then you return back mean not selling anymore ma......what is the concern?
Accept the option fee means seller committed already. Only buyer can back out and forfeit the $1,000.

TS can ask the agent to date the otp now if not complain to the agency and say you will blow this up. Actually can the OTP be void since it is not dated?

I believe now the key issue is you need the funds from this property sale to fund the new purchase? If there is a unit you like, then you can pay option fee and ask for a longer option exercise period from the seller. This will match the delay from ur sale for the funds to transfer over. But of course you will need to pay higher option fee.

There is no higher option fee for HDB. $1000 is max.

https://www.hdb.gov.sg/residential/...ion Fee is between,between you and the buyers.

Absd can recovered if the property is sold within 6 months of your purchase? I am confused others said the option fee is 1k for hdb max but you mentioned 8k?

Property agent here, difficult to best advise you because idk whats your plan. But if you have not signed the OTP then I don't see anything wrong with not selling to tha person. Feel free to PM me should you need any help with this

Will the buyer be able to obtain HFE prior to expiry of OTP?

Most important question:

Is it mandatory for buyer to have already obtained a HFE approval prior to accept an OTP

Hahah .. if only life is so simple as simply ‘refund deposit and all is good’.

:s13:

If so, what’s the purpose of inking legally binding contractual documents?

Haven even signed anything yo
That is not material here.

Cos the OTP is granted by you.

You have received the consideration.

Do feel free to ask around.

Only possible ‘loophole’ is why OTP was granted when buyer has not cleared HFE. Not sure if this will be an issue - if the buyer gets it prior to the expiry of the OTP.
