House Inspection; No Keys Yet

After paying the quit rent at the Farlim Sales Gallery, we made an appoinment for house inspection expecting to get the keys. The house inspection was accompanied by the site supervisor and 2 sales guy. Being newbie on buying a new house, we relied on what the site supervisor advised us, check the door, signs of leakages, if the window can open and close well, the number of electrical points etc. Some friends told us to knock every tile to check if there's hollow sound but there were just too many tiles.

Basically, there were some peeled paint on the door frame, minor leakage at the 2nd room "balcony" and the paint work of the house was barely satisfactory. We were told that we will only receive the keys after the developer has touched up the paint work and attend to our complaints. We were also cautioned not to perform any renovation else the developer will not be responsible for any defects; do not install any fittings else it may get stolen. The developer so kindly gave FOC a huge mirror each in each toilet upstairs, perhaps they could have be kinder providing more freebie? While the promotion brochure looked great with lotsa nice trees, the actual site had several malnourished trees but we're glad that there's a playground and a nice garden at the entrance of the housing area.

OC is expected within this month and we shall wait for the day when we get the keys.

Here's a snapshot of the 20X62 terrace:

Vacant Possession

Received mail via pos laju regarding the delivery of vacant possession. The letter was dated 25th July, and it only arrived today, 2nd august. We need to notify the developer on the premise defect within 2weeks from the date on the letter. That's pretty short notice right?
By the way, I wonder how many visitors here will be my future neighbours, who plan to move in to the land far far away?
