Afternoon Lisa,

Your agent should not have disappeared as you should not have paid him the commission for the purchase. You should try to get him to assist.
In the eye of the law, for HDB, upon completion, the owner is suppose to vacate the unit and hand it over. With agreement from both the buyer and seller, you can postpone your HDB completion date.
As for the private property, as an agreement have being inked, whether stamped or not, your seller have the right to stay put, though you have your rights to chase them out too.
This would depends on who blink first.

Whatever the case is, since you choose that agent to assist you, you should always go back to him when you need assistance. Otherwise, you can choose to bring the case up to CEA.
