1st Appointment - 20th January 2007

Today is our 1st appointment date. We signed a lot of documents and were told that the refund of our booking fee will take 4 weeks. We will be back at HDB for 2nd appointment to collect keys.

HDB 1st Appointment

Our necks can finally stop growing long because we got our HDB 1st Appointment date, 20 January 2006 at 10.20am. The purpose is to pay 5% downpayment for the flat, using our CPF. In exchange, we will get back our $2k booking fee. That is what we are looking forward to. Hehehehehee..........
So the next step is to wait for the flat to be completed. HDB will schedule a 2nd appointment, that is when we will have to empty our CPF and take loan to finance the flat, then they will hand us the keys to our new home !!

Delay of 1st Appointment

We have yet to receive our 1st appointment date to pay the 5% downpayment. The option fee of $2000 is valid for 3 months only. Jere called the customer service officer in charge to verify matters. It seems that Hdb were waiting for our Additional Housing Grant (AHG) form. We did request for it, but decided not to apply for it because we realised we were not eligible. Hdb also forgot to remind us for the form. Luckily, we called them. Hdb will arrange a date for us go down and pay the 5% through CPF and we will be able to get our $2,000 back. YaHoo......
