Wao Lao, the longest post I ever read! So ve u selected the trusted one?

nice 3D drawings. gd luck.

hi, i believe we r from the the same estate. check your PM. i might be able to help you in some area.

hi zerOsg, care to share what is your cov paid or valuation? is a corner unit right?

hi bro, good to see u back, dun ve to "pie say", in life never say never. as long as we can give constructive views. how much is 1 gram of face worth?

congrad! sometimes money is not the deciding factor. sincerity is. good deal is where both parties are happy and satisfy!

Hi, any update on your sales of house?

even rent out also quite tough cos ONLY consider have 1 toilet! ppl these days prefer to have attached bath! the only way to fetch close to what you want is to do it slowly, hopefully durain will drop 1 day. sorry if sound bad.

for a 3I corner unit, the size usually is ard 70sm w/o the utility rm, w is 76sm) you can extend your mbr if you don't mind the beam is above the bed! (there is a beam running across the house, do note). as for the living/dinning, you can have a long dinning table, place it parallel to the wall with bench sitting on 1 side, and chairs on the other side. sofa can be plcae again the window (formerly room no 2) the length of from the window to your tv wall will be at least 3.5m if you have only 1 room (mbr will be extended also, but bed might be under beam) if you wanna a small guest room/study room, living length (window/sofa dist to tv wall)will be ard 3m, but can't extend mbr cos your guest/study room will be ard 2-2.5m. storage can be constructed on the wall after the dinning table. can catch the ball?

also, for improved type of flat, it is not so popular unless is meant for a pair of couple only cos only 1 bath and 1 separate wc, no attached bath is a killer! this is the experience i gained during house hunting. most buyers prefer to have a attached bath in the mbr. so, if you wanna sell your house fast, you have to be realistic regarding the cov, cos as i mentioned, these day buyer going for 1, Good View (meaning high unblocked view, preferly with sea or city view) 2, Good Size (buyer are going for bigger units these day, min 115sm and above will command better cov)(if 4 room, must be a 4A type(105sm))

i believe since you signed exclusive with your agent, the deal should go thru your agent within the agreed timeline say 3mths at a certain agreed baseline price? actually, if you wanna get good price, try not to rush the sale, take your time if possible. otherwise how to maximise the cov? (i still don't think you will get >50k for cov unless got special buyer)(sorry, just a frank remark, just trying to be realistic) maybe the expert in the forum can provide better advice.

if i'm not wrong, your flat is a 4I(improved type)(size 76-84sm)(No attached bath for master bedroom?)? you have your right to ask for any cov, but i don't think is easy to fetch 60k cov especially for a low floor. usually buyer pay high cov for 1,Good View, 2, Good Size unit. (location and height of unit is a must for cov > 50k) don't you agree? if possible, do keep us update if you can get such cov. meaning market is not cooling at all.

Hi Autumn, Regarding the flooring, i'll say it depend on what's your budget for the reno. The marble floor looks great, and in good condition from the pic. Is definitely worth to keep it as there won't be any ugly and hard to maintain grout lines compare to doing homo flooring. I'll suggest you to focus on doing up other essential items, eg. re-wiring & re-piping (both air-con & water pipe). Spend your $$ wisely. As for the marble flooring, you can alway do up with laminate flooring later if you still feel that the broken marble is eye-sore. You can consider Vinyl Flooring By Formica Group (http://www.formica.com.sg/vinyl-flooring) Vinyl flooring is getting more popular these days, do take a look if interested.

Ya, bepgof should reconsider his decision. Someone with good knowledge and experience in life. hope he is reading the post and forget about face issues or whatever issues that prompt hime to stop contributing to the forum.

actually, generally, if you can afford the mortgage, and happy/satisfy with the unit/house, anytime is a good timing to buy a house. maybe just don't pay record price!

well if ppl can think this way, i'll salute them!

wao, didn't log in for few days and the topic becoming a debate? just a clarification, not to debate, of course i won't swap tg pagar with tampines at $0. nobody under normal condition would do that since you pay higher $. what i'm trying to say is, tampines/punggol is not a lousy area since the topic starter asking question regarding BTO. if we are giving advice, try to be sensible. i mentioned i don't agree with you saying tampines or punggol is a lousy area. that does not means in term of $$$, value of tampines = value of tg pagar. ps be mindful. in reality, $ is not alway the deciding factor. i do agree with you in term of buying property for investment, location is the most important factor. but, if you buy to stay, then location is just one of the factor. don't you agree? do other forumers agree?

Hi, even though i stay in tg pagar, can't really agree tampines/punggol is a lousy location!

Hi, what's wrong with this idea?

hi can PM me the cost of the sliding glass? thanks.

his COV is 38K, where got 150K?

a lot of us when buy car alway say wanna drive 10yr but backside start getting itchy after 3yr. we'll change our plan/liking along the way. so better don't commit big ticket item base on impulse buying. must be with a clear mind...

so now your floor to false ceiling height is? think you ve extended your LR from original layout? gd thing is your house got only 1 beam running across. i've 3 beam running across my 3rm, quite eye sore and hard to make proper ceiling (my original ceiling height only 2439, sign..). i'm considering leveling my kitchen floor height to be same as LR. ve you ever considered that?

hi, what's your original ceiling height? (is it 2.4 or 2.5m?) and also, what's your false ceiling thickness? (5" or 6"?) i believe the philips downlight thickness is abt 4.5", so can't do a 4" false ceiling rite?
