Can seller choose not to go through with the transaction after they are aware of the valuation of the flat? This is in regards to the latest update in policy where buyers and sellers will need to come to an agreement on price before an official valuation can be undertaken. assuming seller is unhappy with the high valuation (as compared to the agreed but lower sum prior to receiving the valuation report)can they just choose to not go through with the rest of the process by just returning me the money for the OTP or are they under a binding agreement to follow through despite the high valuation?

Hi RT, After OTP is being issued to the buyer, only the buyer has the right to back out from the agreement within the 21 days option period by not exercising the OTP and forgo the $1k option money so not to worry. If you have any other doubts or questions about your property purchase, feel free to contact me.

Hi Ms R T, only the buyer could back out and choose not to exercise the contract by losing the option fee which he has paid. The amount ranges from $1 to $1000. But as for the seller, he can't back out once he collects the option and issue the OTP. In the event if he does that, the buyer can sue the seller and gets quite a bit of compensation.

Afternoon, If you have read through the OTP and seller's checklist, you would understand that once Option are issued by seller, they cannot back out from the contract. The buyer are the only party with the liberity to carry on and exercise the OTP or give up their Option fee for other unit. FYI Mike Lim 96929209  m52i@yahoo.com ERA Read More
