In Singapore, when you buy a resale condo and the air conditioning (aircon) isn't working upon collection, determining who's responsible for repairs depends on what was agreed upon in the Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA). Here's a breakdown:
**Responsibility Based on SPA:**
* **"As-is" Clause:** If the SPA includes an "as-is" clause regarding the aircon, the seller is not obligated to fix it**. The responsibility falls on you, the buyer, to repair or replace** the aircon.
* **Specific Clause Mentioning Aircon:** If the SPA has a specific clause mentioning the aircon** being in good working condition** during handover, the seller would be responsible** for repairs or replacement if it's not functioning.
**Uncertain SPA Terms:**
* **No Mention of Aircon:** If the SPA doesn't mention the aircon's condition**, there's ambiguity**. You might need to negotiate with the seller** to fix it or potentially seek legal advice** to understand your rights.
**Recommendation:**
* **Review your SPA:** Carefully examine the Sale and Purchase Agreement** to see if there are any clauses related to the aircon's condition.
* **Contact your Lawyer (if needed):** If the SPA is unclear or you need further guidance, consult a property lawyer familiar with real estate transactions** in Singapore.
**Additional Tips:**
* **Pre-handover Inspection:** It's always wise to conduct a pre-handover inspection** with a qualified professional to identify any existing issues** like a malfunctioning aircon, before collecting the keys.
* **Negotiate Repairs (if applicable):** If the seller is responsible, try to negotiate** with them to fix the aircon** before you move in.
By understanding the terms of your SPA and potentially seeking legal advice if needed, you can determine who's responsible for the aircon repairs in your resale condo.
