Asked by
Hi there, I have a problem. I am a joint owner with my mother for a 4 room flat. Right now I am the only one who is paying for the house by monthly instalment through my CPF. In total I have been paying 62% and she paid 38% of the house.
Now the problem is ,she does not want to sell the house but I want to move out badly. We have been in a feud for few years. She has engaged a lawyer and drag me and my wife to court because she claimed that I dirty the house. However the case was thrown out by court.

I could not afford a lawyer for this dispute as I am the sole bread winner for my wife and 21 months old son.

Therefore I need help badly for a way out of this mess.

Please help.

Hi Kamsani,

Sorry to hear about your plight. In the eye of the HDB, they can’t do anything as both of you are joint owners and so both owners would have to agree to sell and ink the contract.

    Thanks Mr Aaron for the reply . Please take care be and be safe. God bless you Sir.
Dear Sir,

Sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately, to sell a house, all the sellers must be agreeable before you are able to do some. Have you tried going for family counselling or mediation? These sessions may help to improve the relationship and you may be able to find a resolution to the problem.

Please feel free to contact me if you need any other further assistance.

Regards,
Nick Tan

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients
“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”

I write to commend Nick Tan (R040814C). When my husband and I first met Nick, we were impressed by his drive, commitment, business acumen and strategical thinking, and decided to engage him. We were not disappointed. Nick sourced for prospective quality buyers in a targeted methodical fashion and was effective in connecting us with serious buyers, notwithstanding the fact that the search primarily took place over Dec – Feb (a traditional lull period). Throughout the transaction, he also gave us helpful advice in various aspects; the advice reflected his personal experience and expertise and was not simply regurgitated from public sources without any value-add. Further, Nick went beyond the call of duty of a competent professional. He had a sense of humanity in the way he interacted with myself and the other parties to the transaction such as my parents. As an example, my newborn daughter was warded into A&E on the completion date of the transaction; the care and concern that Nick showed went beyond the scope of work of an estate agent. I commend Nick for his capabilities and character, and would certainly wish to engage him for future property transactions.

Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations. We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”
