Hi all,
While I read up on my rights, wondering if anyone can help me with regards to a conduct of a seller agent (I am a buyer).
I would like to know whether the seller's agent is obligated to inform the seller on the buyer's intention to conduct a house inspection prior to handover, after the OTP has been handed to the buyer via the buyer's agent.
I would also like to know if it is common practice or even legal for a seller agent to hand the buyer an incomplete OTP document, omitting details such as the seller's appointed law firm and commission due to him by the seller.
Would like to hear any thoughts on this before I consider lodging an official complaint with the CEA.
Thanks and appreciate any response/feedback,
Eunice

Thanks for the response.
I'm inquiring with regard to a private property, where the seller's agent quite brashly informed my agent to get my lawyer to liaise directly with the seller's lawyer regarding arrangement of the inspection.
Professional conduct aside, is this within the seller agent's bounds or does it seem like he's shirking responsibility/obligation?
For omitting the seller's appointed law firm details from the OTP, is this a common practice?
Thanks in advance,
Eunice
