If BCA inspection conducted on 30 Apr 14, TOP is expected between 1 to 3 months from the inspection date.
If no major non-compliance, The Architect QP should be able to compile all relevant certificates and apply for TOP within one month from inspection. BCA will take 1 week to issue TOP in normal application, if express application (Developer needs to pay S$1000), TOP can be obtained within 2 working days.
Unlikely Developer will hold back the TOP application due to unsold units since the quantity (21 units unsold) is not significant, they have 2 years from TOP date to sell the remaining units. The progress payment they will collect from the buyers is 25% which is a very very big sum of money, just assuming average price per unit sold was S$1.0 million and total units sold = 475 (496-21). The total amount that can be collected = S$1.0 million x 475 x 25% =S$118.75
Fingers crossed, TOP should be in June 14
