If it is already in your OTP and you have a lawyer already appointed, you can check with the lawyer on next steps. The lawyer would review the wording and typically advise on extra matters like indemnity.

In any case, you can always check with your own agent on the next steps, especially if you had help from a professional buyer agent (it's free for condo buyers in Singapore). It will help to ensure you are not taken advantage of by the seller / seller agent.

You should check with your lawyer on this term and see what is the best course of actions.

Hi,

1) The agent had completed his duty by including the conditions after the sale completion.
2) The lawyer will takeover the process from the point the OTP is passed over to him.
3) The lawyers will decide whether it is essential to have an add-on notes for the extension.
4) You may highlight this point before meeting the lawyer for exercising the OTP.

All The Best!!!

How-To Handle a 2-Month Extension With Rental When Buying a Resale Condo (Without Legal Gaps) #AskRealtorMani ????https://wa.me/6583004411

???? Is an OTP clause alone legally sufficient for an extension of stay?

???? What exactly is an “extension of stay with rental”?

⚠️ What risks do buyers face if there is no written extension agreement?

???? What terms must be clearly stated in the extension agreement?

???? Who holds the security deposit during the extension period?

???? What happens if the seller refuses to vacate after the 2 months?

???? Is the extension treated like a short tenancy or a licence to occupy?

????‍⚖️ Should the lawyer or the agent prepare the extension agreement?

???? When should the extension agreement be signed — before or after completion?

✅ What is the safest way to protect the buyer during the extension period?

10 Actionable Tips

✅ Yes — always prepare a separate Extension of Stay Agreement, even if it’s stated in the OTP.

???? The OTP shows intent; the extension agreement defines rights, obligations, penalties, and enforcement.

???? Clearly state rental amount, payment date, and late-payment penalties.

???? Include a firm vacant possession date with daily penalty if seller overstays.

???? Collect a security deposit for the extension period — don’t rely on goodwill.

???? Treat the extension as a licence to occupy, not a casual arrangement.

????‍⚖️ Best practice: buyer’s lawyer prepares or vets the extension agreement for enforceability.

???? The agent’s role is coordination — not legal drafting — unless properly trained and authorised.

???? Ensure the extension agreement is signed before completion, not after.
