Buyer Pre-Completion Inspection
The HDB Branch inspection is different from the buyer's inspection.
Before resale completion, the buyer should arrange with the seller to inspect the flat and ensure that the seller will deliver vacant possession.
The buyer should check:
-
General condition of the flat
-
Renovation and built-ins
-
Water leakage or visible damage
-
Doors and windows
-
Electrical fittings
-
Plumbing and sanitary fittings
-
Air-conditioning and other agreed items
-
Items that were agreed to remain in the flat
-
Vacant possession
-
Keys and access devices
HDB's resale terms also make clear that the buyer purchases the flat on a caveat emptor basis. In other words, the buyer is responsible for checking the condition of the flat and verifying renovation approvals. A buyer may engage a qualified person, such as a building surveyor, for additional checks.
