Approval in principle for build-then-sell system 23/06/2006 NST By Hamidah Atan

Selling points 24/06/2006 NST
WITH strong objections from many players and trade associations in the housing industry to the idea of making the 10/90 version of the build-then-sell (BTS) model mandatory, it was perhaps no great surprise that there has been a qualified official nod to what was seen by advocates as the best way to protect housebuyers from unscrupulous builders. The upshot of the attempt to balance consumer needs and business interests is that developers who are averse to the novel idea of purchasers paying the remaining 90 per cent of the price only after satisfactory completion of their homes can still continue to sell-then-build (STB). While this falls short of the call to make BTS a legal requirement, the mere fact that it has received the official seal of "approval in principle" represents a step forward. It is a clear recognition that housebuyers deserve a fairer and more efficient system than that delivered by the STB mechanism.
