Hi Homeinjb, apologies for the delay, i have not even done my own claims, etc yet from my business trips/hospitalization as a lot of distractions recently. I have also received your PM and purposely called up HH management and the rep concerned, Chris to find out more about this.
From what i understand:
Though i have no vested interest, (In fact, Chris was very surprised i recommended people to him as i never told him prior to today) i have called up several people for you though i am in SG today.
1. Chris did inform you that the corner unit is subject to be converted as the approval still comes from the goverment. He claims you may have been confused as to what he can do as there was no promises that the lot cannot be converted to Bumi before the government review. He claimed that he did inform you that a government review was forthcoming and it was still subject to one before it is finalized. You asked him to do his best but he gave you no promises that it could be done.
After the review/approval is done, there can be no turning back once a place is international lot or Bumi lot. So if its before review, then its possible but after review, it is not.
2. If it is converted since some corner units are taken up for Bumi, then their only recourse is to refund you the deposit
with the accumulated interest back to you.
3. I have listened to a third partys words as well and Chris's version holds pretty much true.
I would strongly suggest to have a proper conversation with them, get back your deposit and see if he can work something alternatively for you.
Else,best to look somewhere else. Best wishes.
