EAA SQEEstate agency agreements and prescribed forms

While completing Part B of Form 1 for a flat in Kwun Tong, a salesperson of Harbour Realty Limited finds that one item of prescribed information is not available from the prescribed source. According to the notes to the form, what should she write?

A "N/A"
B "Not Available"
C "Nil", initialled by the salesperson
D "To be confirmed", with the date checked

Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B. "Not Available"

Answer: "Not Available". The notes require all questions and blanks in Part 1 (except Part C) to be completed, with "N/A" where a question is not applicable and "Not Available" where the prescribed information is not available. Why not the others: - "N/A": this means the question does not apply, which is different from information that cannot be obtained. - "Nil": not an entry the form recognises. - "To be confirmed": not an entry the form recognises; the agent must also state the date each item was obtained. Rule: Not applicable = "N/A"; not obtainable = "Not Available"; never leave Part B blank.

Common mistake
