  1. Currently, approved variations to the standard Sale and Purchase (S&P) agreement are incorporated into the prescribed Forms D and E of the Housing Developers Rules and Form D of the Sale of Commercial Properties Rules.

  2. To ensure that variations to the standard clauses are made more transparent to purchasers before they enter into a S&P agreement, developers are now required to list all approved variations in a separate schedule which shall form an integral part of the S&P agreement.

  3. The standard clauses in the prescribed forms will remain essentially intact except for the required amendments highlighted in bold at Annex A (opens in new tab). Also enclosed is Annex B (opens in new tab) with illustrative examples for presenting variations in a separate schedule.

  4. The change will take effect from 1 Jun 2000. All S&P agreements delivered to Option holders on or after the effective date will have to list all approved variations in a separate schedule to the standard S&P agreement

  5. Please inform your members about this circular. The circular can also be accessed on the URA web-site at http://www.ura.gov.sg.

Thank You.
