THE sale and purchase of property from housing developers is governed by the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Regulations 1989 (HDR). These regulations mandate that developers must deliver vacant possession within 24 months for landed properties and 36 months for high-rise properties.
However, developers had the option to apply for an extension of time (EOT) to the Controller of Housing under Regulation 11(3) in cases of special circumstances, hardship or when strict adherence to the contract of sale was impractical or unnecessary.
