Asked by
I am a hdb resale buyer,exercised otp on 21 august and document submission timeframe written in clause 12 of the OTP is 60 days. As of today 27sept seller's agent has not informed me to submit resale application. The seller is doing contra and his agent said need to coordinate submission time. However at the time of exercising otp,they did inform me that the seller of the flat he's buying hadn't even started to look for a new place yet. I suspect my seller will ask for extension of timeframe to submit documents. How is that done and does my OTP become invalid then? What is a reasonable extension timeframe and what is the maximum length i can grant? Must i really wait for his other transaction to go through before i can go through with mine? Thank you.

Hi,

1) It is best to closely coordinate with the sellers' agent for such a situation.
2) This kind of long time frame is not abnormal when sellers are applying ECF.
3) You had negotiated and agreed upon the essential terms in this OTP before you exercised.
4) You and sellers are now in a legally binding contract once you exercised the OTP.
5) The longest period I've come across on the time frame is 90 days, thus 60 days is not unusual.
6) The sellers' agent will need to seek your approval for any additional extension of time other than the 60 days inked in the OTP.
7) You have the right to reject if this is causing unnecessary inconvenience and monetary losses to you. Sellers have to go ahead to submit the resale application once this deadline is met.
8) To change this time frame, both sellers and buyers had to counter-sign on any changes in this OTP.
9) Both resale applications have to submit together for sellers.
10) You have to remind the agent what is your plan and your stand over this extension so that sellers will do their best to ensure this transaction will move on smoothly according to as per agreed.
11) Any breaching of this OTP will rises legal consequences.
