Hi Kangaroo168, Thanks a lot for the advice. Will note that.

Hi, please me the contact of your Id and the amount you spent too. Thanks:)

Hi, I need some advice. I have short listed a resale 4 rm flat. 1) The previous owner built in a lot of storage shelfs, wardrobes and tables with quality materials. Condition of built-in is pretty good. I initially thought of keeping all the built in. However, I realised that the sockets and power points are located within or behind the built-in. The electrical appliances are all plugged in to extenders that are plugged in to the hidden wall sockets. I can not see the wall sockets even when I open the cabinets door so I assume the wall sockets are covered by the built-in. I am not sure why the owner did the set up that way. The wiring for the whole house - electrical, internet, tv cable are all in a mess, with extenders and wires dangling across the ceiling etc. The agent told me I could get a carpenter to 'take out' the built-in items, rerun the wiring and put them back. Is that really possible? How much will the taking out and putting back and the rewiring cost? 2) The previous owner laminated the floor which looks like it needad replacing. The laminates are lay over the original tiles in the bedrooms and living rooms. Can I just remove the laminates and repolish the tiles to save some money or do I need to hack away the tiles and lay new materials? The above two considerations seems like massive work to me. Should i go ahead with them if they can be done or Am I better off demolishing everything and just do a full renovation instead? Thanks in advance!
