We've agreed to move into a new (recently built)
condo and one of the real estate agents that we rejected responded with this when they heard what condo we'd had an offer accepted on...
"
that's a newly TOP project. Normally people that are pregnant or have a baby are reluctant to rent that due to smell/Formaldehyde. Normally buyer would let it vacant and ventilated for a few months before moving in"
Is that just pure sour grapes or is that actually standard practise in Singapore in terms of allowing the place to be vacant/ventilated for many months before renting? Am I safe in assuming that Singapore standards would be pretty rigorous when it comes to testing the air quality of a condo after a build is completed? Or should I pay for a contractor to test it before we move in?

Buy one of these inexpensive TOVC monitors. If it shows elevated values do the tests.
