[anit]

dear anit


usually people sell their house on as is where as basis, so there is no defects list that you can do.

however, for the case of HDB, if there are leakages from what i know you can inform town council and they will organise someone to come and do the repair - not sure if you have to pay this I am not so clear - you may like to check directly with town council.

you mean after your stay in the house then you realise there is some pre-exisiting problem, you cannot find the previous owner?

of course la

they sold you the house they do not warrant you.
