[Need Advice] Property Handover Issue

Poopy — Thu, 03 Jan 2019 16:17:52 +0800

I am almost at the end of finalising my SPA in the purchase of a sub-sale property but all a sudden, the Seller is voicing out tons of issues and dissatisfaction in which preventing/delaying the property handover.

To put things into context, here are some key points in the SPA milestone:
- SPA lawyer represents both Purchaser and Seller
- Contract Completion Date is dated at end of Oct 2018, but the first loan disbursement to pay Seller's redemption fee was released in Nov 2018. I am not sure how many extension days were granted prior to the Contract Completion Date and also not entirely sure which body (SPA lawyer/bank lawyer/bank/loan insurance) was responsible for causing the late disbursement.
- Second disbursement was released in late December 2018, SPA lawyer emailed all the necessary documents that was requested by the Seller mostly pertaining letters from Bank's Lawyers, disbursement receipts, redemption statement and sum breakdown that summarize to the final Balance of Selling Price.
- SPA lawyer requested my authorization to release payment of Balance of Selling Price to seller. I gave authorization and SPA lawyer wrote off a cheque and banked it in to Seller's account. This was the end of 2018 and I have already paid 1 month of the house instalment.
- Come 2019, Seller is now frustrated and voicing dissatisfaction but oddly had also arranged the handover.

Here are some points that were raised by the Seller that's leading the handover into a state of delay and uncertainty:
- "Contract Completion Date was supposed to be end of October 2018, so I expected the redemption fee paid latest in October but instead it was paid in November. So there's an increase of redemption fee there. Because of that too, I had to pay that extra 1 month of house instalment".
- "I have not signed any acceptance, so why did the SPA lawyer banked-in the Balance of Selling Price cheque?"
- "I do not remember signing to the SP lawyer fees and they have deducted prior to my agreement."
- "For now, I will wait for the SP lawyer to explain to me in writing for the cause of delay".

So that is my current SPA dilemma. Legally where do I stand in this issue? What are my rights? Am I accountable to fork out more money to pay fine or interest in this issue although I did everything fast, right and orderly from the beginning until the very end of this SPA?

On a side note, half-way through the SPA, we were assigned to a different lawyer/paralegal (I don't know) because our initial lawyer had quit her job without her or the firm informing me and the Seller until much later date.

I truly hope that someone here can advice me on this because this my first time purchasing a property and I don't have the full wit to this.

Hard Disk Power Failure

Poopy — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 02:09:32 +0800

Hello,

Recently I had a power failure with my desktop PC. I think the power supply smoked up while I was asleep. The problem now is that my master Hard Disk(sata) can't be detected anymore. My slave Hard Disk on the other hand works perfectly.

I've tried connecting my master Hard Disk to docks, external cables and even through my neighbor's desktop, but it doesn't seem to get detected anymore. And I also realized that there is no power coming into the hard disk at all to spin it (no heat or vibration whatsoever). So I'm expecting something went wrong with its power circuit board.

So do you guys know if i could just get that circuit fix and reclaim back my data or even if there's no hope to fix, do you know where can i get my data recovered? i can't send back for warranty because I need the data in it. Some part of my assignments are in there and most important are my pictures from time to time. I'm a final year student with money shortage, hoping if there's anyone here that could help me regarding on this to retrieve back my data.

Thanks in advance

Headphone Re-wiring service?

Poopy — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 04:30:35 +0800

Hello,

Is there anyone here that can re-wire back my headphone or maybe just fix it?
The problem is that my headphone suddenly can output sound only from the left speaker.
It's been almost 4 years since I've been using it and I don't think i wanna replace it yet
But anyway, my headphone is the philips SHP805

p/s: I've checked the wiring on both side of speakers and it seems that none of it are disconnected or anything to that matter.
So i'm guessing maybe the wiring at the jack connector may be the problem?

Where can i fix monitors?

Poopy — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 00:58:01 +0800

Hey guys,

My acer lcd has finally worn out i guess? Now it has horizontal lines falling from the top of the screen to the bottom infinitely. Is there a way to fix it or do you guys know any place where I could send it to get it fixed?

I'm getting a new monitor anyway but I think it's best i get this one fixed as well because it might be a waste just to throw it away. It doesn't seem like a serious problem though. Maybe it needs to get the liquid refilled i guess? And it's over the warranty timeline already too.
