Buying resale flat
'Why does the HDB take so long when most of the transactions are computerised?'
MR GOPINATH MAASI: 'As a first-time buyer of a five-room HDB resale flat, I was surprised to discover that the earliest available dates for my first appointment is more than two months from the date of my application submission. And that is not all. It takes an additional six to eight weeks after the first appointment to complete the transaction. In all, a buyer must wait almost five months to buy a resale flat, including the option-to-purchase period. Why does the HDB take so long to process the purchase of a resale flat when most of the transactions are computerised?'
