Very well said.. Is time for u guys to differentiate fully BOOKED and fully SOLD. Look at the sales agent, if he/she said fully SOLD, he/she has given the first impression of mis-information. So don bother the later part where more will come.

Added on February 15, 2012, 9:35 pmThis is the loop hole of the HD law. Even the HM can't take any action against the dev, because the money is hold by their panel lawyer like someone had mentioned, and so, they are not against any breach of law. Sorry to say that.
Meanwhile, there is a phrase by Murphy's law.
"when a new law created, a new loophole was also created"

I hope that will work so it can really lower down speculation and allow more REAL home buyer to have a chance.
But bare in mind, it seems like most of the dev did this. Be it public listed or small potato. If HM take stern action against this dev, mostly all will have to be filed as well. Next, nothin will happen also. Is like a waste of time. Breaching the law of selling before permit, is only when dev received payment directly from buyer, and developer issued official receipt, and the money go into the dev bank acc. Otherwise, your single piece of booking form, is not sufficient. Only required 1 sentence to kill off your hard work, which is, 'where is your receipt?'. And alot more tweeds..

Question should be on developer side since purchaser dealt with them. It may because of HM or local council, but purchaser will need to deal with developer directly for this case.
You blame developer, developer blame HM, HM blame LO, LO blame bla bla bla..afterall, everyone is pointing finger at each other. And we will never know the truth.

Of course, dev won't publicly announce that they're having problem with the AP, like land/soil problem, or other. But you will only hear from the dev that, HM slow, and the games go on. Or indeed, is from the HM, so what can we do to fasten the process? You wanna use a gov company to sue a gov company.

I believed alot out there are facing the same problem, not only leafz or treez purchaser. But if you look it in a good way, it might be good, cause, you can have time to collect sufficient money to pay anything upfront, as if the time you booked, you had averagely sufficient.
