You are right, really need to check very clause and every page! For my case, when lawyer office sent the docs to me by email, 1 page was missing, 1 clause was numbered wrongly, and even my name was spelt wrongly!!!

Thanks for yr reply, it's better late than never reply, hahaha! The past few days days, other threads like PH and 1 or 2 other threads were on the top charts, debating fiercely from different points of views amongst all types of investors. Very active forumers at work! Ok, just an update...

Understand what you meant by your kind words! Will be going to the lawyer's office soon to sign the SPA. Ok, some good news; managed to make my stand to delete an unwanted clause, which to me or to anybody else, a very grey area, at least can sleep in peace for the time being until full...

I have raised a few points to the lawyer. There was 1 particular clause which I am not exactly comfortable with; it's like giving the purchaser a blank cheque. Let's see what is their response. I am prepared to change to my trusted lawyer anytime now!

btravelling, thanks for yr response. The estate is in such a sorry state. Looks like the estate mgmt committee is not doing their job to upkeep the estate, that's why it looks run down. Most of the defaults need minor repairs, unless the big ticket items like painting work, which cost several...

So far never heard of owners not paying up on maintenance in Sg condos. Probably the estate in need of some major repairs, and probably the sinking fund is low too. Would you be able to reveal in which district?

I more 'pang shim' after reading what you wrote. Many times, when we are working with ppl overseas, often times, we have to base on trust. And the trust is based on your 'gut feeling' and from yr own experience of how you judge ppl, in other words need 'x-ray' eyes and good judgement. But we...

Ya, sounds funny! I hope our case is a very straight forward case, no hiccups along the way! Anyway, I am trying very hard to understand the SPA contents, am using all my brain power to focus, make sure they don't short changed me with all their 'funny' terms. If I find their terms not very in...

Not signed yet, going to... Thanks for the good advice, esp those points which are highlighted, I go figure out where to get 2nd opinion...

Oh thanks for the clear explanation, Tekkun! The legal firm is tkkco. Have u heard of it? If I use own lawyer the fees are 2.6 times higher. Wuji-kor has always advocate use own lawyer, but ...

We need pple who have the 'iron' in them. And it's not easy to find pple who are young and capable and interested in politics who are willing to come forward and serve. But there are indeed such vacancies in dire need to be filled.

Those rounded up are without licence. These pple can apply for a licence to conduct their trade. S'pore allows prostitution but cannot tolerate rape, to keep our citizens safe on the roads. If not we will be like any 3rd world country. To attract the rich and wealthy, our streets must be safe...

I supposed anyone can post it here, the forum is a virtual meeting place of sorts, better than some real friends in some ways who are somewhat more conservative, the forum is faceless, so pple more willing to share I guess.

Thanks for yr kind response Tekkun! The buyer is on bank loan which is still waiting for approval. Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I am using buyer's lawyer which is also the agent's lawyer to save cost. The buyer will issue the balance 90% to lawyer company. They will hold it as stakeholder...

I have a very important question here: hope some kind soul can give advice: If I sell a condo, the purchaser will pay the balance 90% of sale price to owner or to the lawyers who act as Stakeholder? Skarly the lawyer run road? Then how? Is it standard practice in M'sia? TIA

From what little knowledge I know, if stone is in the kidney, you will feel acute pain when it moves down the ureter, and as some stones are spiky, as it moves down the ureter, it will cause friction to the narrow walls of the ureter, thereby there will be blood in the urine. Can't say anything...

It could be just infection, do not be too alarmed! Anyway, I heard of a recent case, his urine also got blood, doctor suspected bladder cancer, went through all the test, scan, MRI, and further blood test. Luckily it was not any cancer, just some infection. So it's good to go through all the...

Wow, what you have written practically sums up the present property scene in My & Sg. Unbiased view from another property expert! Very well written! Thank you!

I have a sad story to share but it's not exactly sad, only thing is did not really make money, when I see other people buy property make tons of money. I once bought a piece of land at Senai III industrial where Seagate used to be and many other companies. After holding for abt 7-8 yrs decided...

Noted with thanks! Here you are: Tekkun's 5 commandments in the world of investments! EXTREMELY wise advice!
