  1. You can offer seller a cov price (lower than asking price) that you are comfortable with. The seller will either reject or accept your offer. There may be zero or a few other buyers who compete with you. Take a look at the recent transacted prices of that area.
  2. MP will ask you to negotiate with the developer. Similar cases had appeared in newspapers before. Good luck to your negotiation.
  3. You can. But you must cancel your current BTO application before you can apply for the next BTO. If you already paid 2K deposit, 2K will fly away. If you already paid 5% downpayment, 5% will fly away. We cancelled BTO application years ago, hubby's 2K flew away.
  4. A lot of people are unaware of this compounding 5% interest!
  5. I like your white sofa and scenary from living room windows
  6. These neighbours who conduct big group commercial events are definitely commiting an offense under HDB. HDB can take action against them. See this article: http://www.edvantage...ion_centre.html "Under HDB's Home Based Small Scale Business Scheme, home owners are permitted to conduct private tuition in their flats, but they can teach not more than three students at a time.The flats cannot be used as tuition centres as they are meant for residential use. HDB said yesterday that this is because a large number of students may cause noise or other form of nuisance to the neighbours when they move in and out of the flat while attending classes. HDB said that if the lessee is indeed using the flat as a tuition centre for more than three students at any one time, it will not hesitate to take enforcement action. "
  7. Is pvc or abs edging more durable for kitchen cabinet?
  8. We wash the common toilet for tenant even if there is only 1 tenant using it. Tenants tend to disregard the cleanliness of their room and common area. If you wait for your tenant to wash the common toilet, I bet he/she will not and your toilet will stink soon
  9. It looks like the false ceiling is giving way I doubt you can do anything about it, as you have already signed on the docs. How old is your flat? You better get a contractor to check the supporting structures of the false ceiling for safety. I heard of case of false ceiling crashing down in living room.
  10. First time hear of termites living in walls Have you called pest control company?
  11. Congrats to getting keys The ID sourcing is a tedious process.
  12. 4hours walk daily! It's sad :( Only Singapore has degree holders, phd holders driving taxi.
  13. What brand is your aircon? Has your aircon problem been resolved?
  14. Quite a handful of people on this forum have complained about GC installation, better thick twice on engaging GC.
  15. Since long time ago, every Singaporean/PR is only allowed to own 1 HDB flat. Majority of us only have 1 shelter. Those measures are targetted at speculators in private property market who own many properties. I think govt's main objective is to discourage the speculators in China from "frying" the housing market here. They have no chance to fry China housing market anymore due to their govt's interference.
  16. Not walk like crabs too LOL. I'm getting my BTO keys soon. I don't look forward to the mickey mouse rooms lor. If I get king size bed, I think I have to walk like crabs in the room.
  17. Congrats to your key collection! Haha you can go shop for more items for your rooms. I like your BTO layout more than my one.
  18. Inflating the prices of properties is one of government's ways to lock up more of our CPF money. Let's see if they stop feeding this golden goose?
  19. More Indians coming soon SINGAPORE: Singapore and India will collaborate in vocational skills cooperation and inter-parliamentary exchanges. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced the new areas that both countries will venture into when he hosted lunch for his visiting Indian counterpart, Dr Manmohan Singh, on Sunday. He said both sides will sign a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation and personnel management and public administration. They're also launching a programme to promote exchanges in the arts and heritage. On the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement between Singapore and India, Mr Lee said he hopes to conclude a review of it early to enhance trade and investment links.
  20. Smaller but more expensive. How does debt of 30-35 years contribute to quality living? MIW wants us to have more kids but put us in smaller space + heavier financial debt. If smaller house = quality living, then why all of the MIWs stay big houses and drive big cars?
  21. Different rooms have different dimensions, so how are you going to fit the wardrobe into the other room with different dimensions?
  22. I chose the highest floor for my BTO. I have stayed on 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 9th and 11th floors before. Reasons: No elephant stomping feet on top in middle of the night. Ceiling is slightly higher than usual. Water tank is at roof top so water pressure will be fine. No huge pipes running in the toilet. My unit has unblocked views at all windows (South for living room and bedrooms, East for kitchen). Less dusty. Of course, I got to pray hard that all my lifts do not go on strike at the same time p/s: I am not looking forward to moving to my BTO. Super lazy + mrt station is no longer opposite my block
