I found my dream house. The developer’s office said the project was selling like hot cakes. Sales were on a ‘first come first serve basis’ and I must pay a deposit otherwise she would have to give it to someone else. Or was it a booking fee she called it?
I begged her to give me one week. Three days, she said. How very sweet and understanding of her. Bank loan? No problem... 85% loan margin? No problem, she assured me. If I could not get a housing loan I could always cancel and get my money back. I left the developer’s office feeling on top of the world. I had secured my dream house by paying the deposit. My dream turned into a nightmare when I could not get a bank loan. I had no choice but to forgo the house.
