Plans to demolish the Lincolnsvale condominium at Surrey Road have been put on hold after one family refused to move out of their apartment.

This, after the property was acquired by Sim Lian Land, for more than $50 million.

The developer says it will visit the family in the coming days, hoping to resolve the matter amicably, without having to resort to getting an eviction order.

All but one family still lives at the 39-unit condominium.

Madam Chin Siew Yin claims she had objected to the en bloc sale and did not know they had to vacate by 10 April.

But a check around the condominium revealed that several notices explaining the sales process, the number of votes in favour of the en bloc sale and moving out notice, have been put up at conspicuous spots.

The notices also highlighted that tenants against the buyout should contact the relevant authorities within 21 days.

Madam Chin declined to comment on whether she had raised her objection.

Lawyers Phang & Co, acting for the estate’s sales committee, said all tenants were notified and given ample time to voice their objection. - CNA/yy
