Just like doing reno.. if u have the all the time and efforts to spare, then by all means DIY and make all the arrangements yourself. However do not forget that shold anything go wrong, u may be on the losing end. Good luck to all bros/ sis in chasing their "dreams"!

what's good aint cheap and what's cheap aint good.. just be careful lor sista. Good luck to ur "dream"!!

It is literally a Million $$$ question bro.. Haha Let's face it. Be it sell or rent, the market is not in your favor. Hence the best person to answer this question is u..

Bro Tango, if u have an agent serving u, ask ur agent. It is their duty to assist u. Good luck and hope you real ur "Dream" soonest!

I also agree that engaging 2 agents or more for your current property sales will erode the value of ur property; but only to a certain extent from my point of view. Y? Cos u r ultimately the owner and have the final say. From what price to advertise and what is ur final price etc. U shld be in control. Can u say BM is "cheap" bcos they have many sales person selling the same car? For me, my personal experience from my previous condo sales, was that I used a few agents to widen my "net". Told them absolutely what is my price and what price to advertise etc. Remember, u r the boss and u shld have absolute control over EVERYTHING! 1st question, NO! No agent can represent both sides in a transaction (buyer/seller or landlord/tenant). If u have proof, pls feel free to report it to CEA n they will take action accordingly. Yes u can DIY by all means cos nobody say u must use agent when buying or selling. Assuming u r buying a 500K HDB, 1% commission is 5K. If u think u wanna save that 5K for other things, u r entitled to. Or if u think that a 3mths job is worth 5K, and have someone to assist u along the way, use an agent. Just like nobody say u must go workshop to service the car. If u know how to do it, then by all means go ahead. If not go to a workshop and have someone doing the "dirty" job for u.. Hehe End of the day, not all agents r good, but also not all r bad. Just like, not all BM r bad, but also not all r good All the best and hope u can achieve your "Dream" soon!

Tampoi Lighting.. Google n u can find it..

Agree... take 1st, say later... good luck bro..

I have no such experience but guess u gotta ask urself this. If u r seller, would u? I guessed not rite.. so just pay n get it done lor.. BTW congrats on ur new home

bro nisey, U will be shocked by the Nippon's momento price... for the same wall, I did it in tiles and it cost me half the price of the paint.

Seems like another self advertisement! Anyway, I personally do not really like wallpaper. Because of the fact that it will peel. Having young kids around makes it worse! Plus u need to pay a bomb for installation. End of the day, I opted for tiles that too achieve the wall paper effect for my living wall.. best part is that its cheaper compared to wallpaper, including installation..

U will have to assemble urself, just like Ikea. Hence tat is why I hesitated n eventually gave it a miss. Can u imagine ur furniture shipped with 1 plank or part less? Brrrrr....

Its a good day to rent

If u have time to coordinate everything, then by all means. Good luck!

Alternatively u can consider just TV console.. U gotta ask urself if the conceal of wires is worth paying for

upz upz

U can check out ST Classified as the prices are more or less there..

Lai Lai..

This is key for "财门", supplied by a company called Decorille Gate http://decorille.com/cms/ Because last time my parents also have this gate. Think only they can duplicate for u. Good luck!

Personally, I feel that it is more of a "steady" thing. Because I do not think ID firms will want to pen it down black n white to say how long the warranty should be. For a mere simple reason that things are bound to have wear and tear and the ID firm cannot possibly have unlimited warranty. Coming back, if things do not work in the way that it should be within the 1st month, then of course, the ID firm have to bear responsibility. For eg, in my case, after moving in for 1 week, my WC flush have minor leak. As in somehow after the water is filled up, some actually leaked into the WC, as though it is still flushing. Not very serious; but I call my ID to rectify it. He also very steady and called his plumber to come down the next day to do it for me.

Personally, I think that the best and SAFEST location is to house it below the hob.

The best person to answer you will be your banker. From what I know, you can decide whether to wipe out or not. I would advice you not to wipe out. This is because in the unlikely event that you run into some financial difficulties, at least you can still use your CPF to service the loan and preserve your cash on hand. Good luck in your purchase bro
