Ms Yeo said that she thought things were normal, but the buyer mentioned something, which she initially shrugged off but was followed by more questions from other potential buyers.“I was like, ‘How do you know this house?’’ she asked.Ms Yeo’s colleague eventually revealed the history of the flat, noting it had stayed on the market for a “very, very long time” after repossession.However, for Yeo, her experience taught her that “there’s no such thing as an unsellable property in Singapore.
