hi im purchasing a 3room flat in changi village for a valuation price of 175k and a COV of 15k. i have put a deposit of 5k and filled up the OTP form and signed. but i was told by my agent after that i need to pay the valuation price for that 3room flat im buying which i find it ridiculous. as for the registration fees,that we know we have to pay for it.he said that without the seller request for a valuation,we could'nt have been able to purchase it.so we have to bear the cost plus the registration fees that amounts up to $261 on top of our 5k deposit. we have sold our former flat 1 year ago and we never ask our buyer to pay for our valuation.so this aroused our suspicion. please advise us on this matter.
