Dear all, I urgently need help, recently i have done my valuation of the resale flat. The result out and the valuation amount is higher than the agreed price on the otp. For e.g price on otp $370k, evaluation amount is $380k. Seller's agent claim that its a negative sales and it involves a lot of complications with the cpf board eg. return the sums difference for this sales selling below valuation. first question, is it even the buyer's problem? Now seller's agent is trying not to proceed with the otp. And the agent gave me 2 options: 1. Do up a new OTP with new selling price of 380k and a new evaluation.
2. Ask me to choose not to excise the option and lose my option fee.

second question: what should i as a buyer do?

Last question: Is the seller's agent being dishonest and be liable for legal actions?

Hi, you could actually proceed to exercise with the OTP and if the seller agent is trying to be funny, you could warn him by going straight to the CEA and to his company to lodge a complaint.

CPF board will not be an issue.

The procedure is set by HDB, OTP, then Valuation.
Hence there is always a chance that the Valuation can be Higher then selling price.

If CPF is an issue, tell CPF to talk to HDB ,

Both are government bodies. If they cannot agree with each other, then there is a big problem.

I do not know what is the reason for the seller's agent to make those inaccurate info. Could be under pressure from seller?

Whatever the reasons, you can SAFELY proceed.
