There are 2 kinds of toilet bowls. 1. Hole downwards 2. Hole to the back Most likely for 1, you cant change the location. For 2, you can shift towards left or right. -
Advised Needed On Housing Monthly Payment
duhzzz replied to sens's topic in HDB New/Resale Flats, Executive Condominiums
Assuming there is no conditional factors, Mathematics is important for long term assessment. Understand that the 0.1% difference, but over long, money in CPF commands much higher returns. U may work out a simple excel sheet to see the difference. -

I did an excel sheet and it seems like 30 year loan is better than 20 year. 30 year = higher returns from CPF interest in the long term vs 20 year = higher housing interest in the short term. -

Is a 20 year HDB loan better than a 30 year HDB loan? Interest rate of HDB loan is 2.6% while CPF rate is 2.5%. Assuming monthly serviced using full CPF. -

Just to share. If you think that the flooring is old, do not hesitate to hack and redo everything. I have to learn the hard way after I moved in, the floor began to crack underneath and pop up one by one. You'll be left with no other choice but to hack. Reno while living in the house is no joke! -

Did I see wrongly? 300k for Reno? -
Viewed 8 units in a day and bought the last viewed unit. It really depends on feel. Some ppl call it "feng shui", the comfort that you find when you step into the house. Some units are so badly designed, in terms of layout, that makes ppl awkward. The first 7units did not interest me at all. So when you find one that you like, and it is within your budget, go for it! For all you know, You may not find another similar unit again. It may be useful to do some research online, to filter the location, cost, etc.

My blk is only 4 storey high and I'm living on the 3rd - 4th storey. 4th storey has a pointed roof/ Gable roof See link --> http://ts4.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=4874852943070575&id=d2e49d5332c39333a08d6aee7d4cf864) http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OkoGIbTFGn4/TJ4N90asWPI/AAAAAAAAATo/NqKNN1VHKTg/s1600/After+2.jpg This pic shows my room, but did not show the highest point though. Highest point is higher than 2x toilet door, est. 5m high? Not too sure how many was built, but this was my last viewed unit that really captured my heart. Around my hougang ave 1 area, there are only 3 blocks. -

Actually, EM ground toilet is a washing bay, which many converted to a small toilet. Not much space if u want to bathe. 133sqm for 3room+2 toilets vs 146sqm for 4room+3 toilets, Seems like bigger room for 5rmM. Price wise, due to low supply, it has indeed rose quite substantially over these 2 yrs. Considering some x factors, e.g super high ceiling, roof over balcony, personal planting area on ground level...while enjoying the gov perks of 5rm, I never regretted getting a 5rmM.
