Finally, my very own reno blog.. Bought a resale flat in cck area in june this yr, after countless attempts for BTO… Initially wanted to buy a 4 rms resale, visited a couples of 4 rooms flats, and find them too small…. We decided to get a 5 rms instead, becos we intended to stay in the house for quite some time until we have enuff money to upgrade.. hehe.. so e figure that maybe a 5 rms is better… and to start off, the floor plan.. initially i fell in love with the layout, like the curvy windows.. but now, its giving me headache.. still trying very hard to decide on the layout... argh

hi, ya, it include the lights equipment....

Thanks for the reply.... final quote is 350 bucks for the 13ft x 5ft false ceiling and 700 bucks for the installation of the lights (inclusive of lights) his false ceiling very ex, but his other work are quite cheap... sigh.. dilemma, donno wether should find other contractor to do false ceiling.. but very troublesome to find again... anyway, thanks for the information!

Hi, My ID quoted this for MBR false ceiling.. can help me see if this is reasonable? Thanks in advance... totally no idea whether it is too expensive. To supply & install 13ftx 5ft faalse ceiling in master room c/w down light & cove light $400.00 To supply & install 9 lighting points with 3 downlights & 6 T5 lights $700.00

hehe, noted, thank you very much! =) still waiting for his reply for the revised quatatiion..

Hi specialkid, I noticed that the color of your carpentry is different from the 3D drawing.... is it because the 3D drawing is inaccurate or you made changes? Thinking of engaging rooms for ideas....so just wondering whether their 3D drawings will be close to actual... thanks in advance!

Hi, Just finish reading your reno blog, your house is really nice, can i have the contacts for Henry? Thanks in advance. =)

Hi, Your house is so pretty! Very nice black and white theme. can share the quote with me? i'm currently looking for ID. Thanks in advance!

haaaa.... i gonna build a camp and sleep there day and night to see see look look... The house is still not mine.. cant wait to have it!!!!!!! Whee!

why they so bad, wanna chu pattern... buyer very poor thing.. not protected by hdb at all... =( i gonna persuade them to sign on 21st.... POA i think quite expensive.... haiz.. our agent and the seller agent still negotiating... luckily my agent quite good, always help us, if not we don give him commission.

CCK 5I (8 years old flat) 110sqm COV = 30K Valuation 405K Flat is in good condition with some reno (built in wardrobe, kitchen, false celling, toilet vanity, shower screen-glass door) only need to hack down altar and dressing table, not going to re do the tiles and kitchen cabinets. 10 mins walk to mrt. high level unblk view, corner unit so no rooms with windows facing corridoor, childcare directly downstairs at the blk, 5 mins walk to 7-11, 3 mins walk to bus stop.

for mine, i think the owner also will chu pattern one leh.. that time after we agreed on the sale, preparing to give cheque den they suddenly say wan to consider! den we so pissed off, i got my parents and sisters to came down specially to view the house, den we sat at the void deck unable to move on, cos the owner suddenly say wan to consider... den we went home, den after a few hours, the suddenly say okay, den my agent came over my house to collect the cheque... like tt considered chu pattern anot? haha they are not those frenly type, that time we go their house, they totally treat us like invisible, even when my mumy tried to talk to her, she oso bo chap one... give one word reply... haiyo.. how, i feel very confuse leh.. a part of me want to be nice and believe she really cant make it for the first appointment, a part of me very worried she will keep delaying..... i just read at the forum under resale/sale of flats a lot of scary stories about owners running away .. now i'm so worried... and it always start with the owner trying to delay the first appointment... oh my god, i'm so paranoid. my bf say we sld go to their house and spy.. but i oso donno how to spy like... haha

Thanks for the info! i din noe that, i was hoping that after changing the first appt date, the seller will agree on a earlier second appt date... sigh.... need to rearrange very again... auspicious date need to rearrange.. already told landlord move out date.. hope can change.... sigh..

Okay.. thank you all for your output.. really appreaciate it.. =)

Ya, that was what we are thinking also, maybe the wife really cant make it...den if we fix a confirm date for second appointment, need to draft out something for them to sign and agree? if not later they suddenly have some reason den say cannot move out den how? For example, now the earlier first appointment is on 13 oct (acc to my agent), den by right the second appt date is fixed on the first appointment, what if now they agree to move out on second week of nov, but on the first appt they say they cant move out on the seocnd week of nov. Since the first agreed/promised date is not said in the presence of hdb officer, i will have nothing to back up if they have some reasons again? so do i need to get them to write down and sign? i feel safer with black and white... sigh If delay, then my bf have to continue paying the rent at his current place... so expensive... and the renovation and everything will delay... argh

Hi all, We are supposed to have the first appointment on 21st sept... everything is ready, already recieve the letter from hdb, applied leave and blah blah blah but today, we recieved a call from our agent, the owner requested to change the first appointment date because his wife gave birth today We are unwilling, and i check at the hdb website, it says that first appointment date cannot be changed. so why did my agent still ask me? HDB website mentioned that if the seller / buyer did not turn up for the first appointment, the transaction will be cancelled... den will the owner compensate us? This is so irritating, we are so looking fwd to the house.... what should i do? can the first appointment date be change? should i insist on the original date? (can i?) thanks in advance!
