Mind letting me know what are the things you'll be hacking... cos my hacking quote is very high... Oh and is yours a 4/5 room? Thanks!

Hi Geryl! Haven't confirm yet but more or less shortlisted... Can't wait to move in... All the small little details to look into... sigh... Guess you will need quite a big shoe rack for all your shoes too Remember to leave a few empty slots just in case there's more coming...

Congrats Yan!! Hahaha... know what you mean y aging 10 years... My reno has not even started and I'm already getting that feeling

Not too bad... Most of the quotes that I've got are around $50k ... Now trying to see what can I do to cut down the cost... Looking forward to your pix!

Wow... How bad is your damage in total?

I bought my 3 bedroom Condo at $585,000 around Siglap area 21/2years ago so it's pretty hard for me to accept a HDB at that kind of price

Hahaha.... it's a woman's thing... Shoes and bags... My hubby can't figure it out too.. Yup, if everything is ok, guess I'll be e 1st Tau Tblog here... hopefully this will ease the tension over the other side.. , I'm sure your wife will be catching up soon.. It's not safe to leave anything outside the house at all.. My mum just called me and told me my bicycle at her place has just been stolen... Are those ppl just that poor??!!

Hi Aves, My chosen ID is ...... Kelvin from Tau Interior, that is if he is able to meet my budget... Know that there's a lot of unhappiness over the other thread but to me, most importantly I must feel comfortable with the ID and he is able to give me good suggestions... Will see how it goes when he comes back with the quote on Monday... JCase, Just started packing the shoes and realise I've got 70 pairs and my hubby, 6 pairs

Hihi Sanji37! I believe they are taking you for granted. Why must you wait til the 1st appt to get a clearer pic? Maybe you can tell your agent that you need to make plans as well so insist on date. If they are buying a condo, the transaction will also need about 3 months. If they did not state a time frame in the letter, you can. If they say you agree to extend, you can tell them you agreed, even if you extend by 1 day, it's also extension. Sometimes we do not wanna be mean but in situations like this, whereby they are clearly taking advantage of us, we should like them know that they can't push us around. At the 2nd appt, we have officially paid for the house and its ours, like I've mentioned in my previous posts, it's out of goodwill that we allow them to extend so they should be nice to us and not the other way round... Oooops I getting very long winded I've shortlisted 2 IDs but only one came back with the final quotation so have decided to drop the other as it has been 2 weeks already. Now at the stage of bargaining, went down to meet him the other day and did a comparison chart of his prices and other IDs and let him sleep over it Shortlisted him cos very comfortable with him and he replies and answers every call of mine. Unlike some IDs, even before I sign, they are not replying my sms... Where's your new place?? Does your place have any overhead beams? Hi CutePinkElephant! Found out that even if they sign the lease agreement, it's not legal. Found that out when reading the Bank Letter of Offer ad HDB website. Lawyer will be able to make a letter but if something happens, the letter is also not recognize in the court... No win win situation for kind hearted buyers like us

Hi Sanji37! Dun be sad .... I know how you feel... Why didn't your agent follow up for you on whether have they bought a place or not... How long an extension did you agree? There should be a time limit... Think you 2nd appt should be on the 2nd-3rd week of Sept... Feel that you should give your agent some work to do and have him find out all the details for you... or the seller should have the courtesy to let you know... It seems like nowadays, when we buy a house from them like owe them our lives like that.. this must give in, that must give in... No doubt you sign an extension letter, but after 2nd appt, even if they get kick out, they cannot use that against you cos there's no such thing as extension... likewise for me, I allow them to extend, if anything happens after the 2nd appt is going to be my and not their problem... but my letter for them to sign is going to state that even if the letter is not accepted as an agreement by the law, they will still have to bear my legal cost should I sue them... You should have them sign an extension letter in favor of yourself too..

2nd in line ... Congrats, Congrats! I was initially looking at a place with the same layout as yours and was in love with it... but valuation was not out yet so didn't offer and a few days later the agent told me sold to a relative ... Looking forward to seeing your pics!

Hi all! Just wondering since I've allowed the seller to extend his stay, how to do final inspection?? Thanks!

Hi Mr Chong! The kitchen and Living room pics is the current layout of the seller. Will be doing a major reno once I get the keys.. The drawing on the floor plan is what I have in mind for the new layout. Pls advise. Thanks!

Hi Kinryu69! Thanks for the advise! Think I'll shorten the length of the sofa cos if no one can sit under the beam, no point having one that extends below the beam.

Hi Groovygenie! Thanks for the info! Do u have any idea how much does Besglas charge pfr?

Wow ... Very ex.. Called them and was quoted $170pfr and additional for each drawer installed.. Will probably go down and take a look

Hi! Am considering getting a quote from them for the pole system for my WIW.. Would appreciate if anyone who has deal with them before share their experience with me. Thanks!

Hi Mr Chong, Would appreciate if you could advise on the overhead beams in my Living room & Kitchen. Below are some pics Overhead Beam at the Kitchen Overhead beam at the Living room before dismantling the Balcony Sliding Door.
