Hi Allz!!!

I am in Blk 220B!!

So god Bubbly!! you gor yr keys already. U select yr flat thru Jan Ballot too? Wonder when did you select yr flat so can estimate how long to get our keys..

Nope, I got the flat through SERS. I think you should be getting your keys quite soon as the SERS people have altreay gotten their keys for your block and some have already move in.

Anyone taking 5 room received the letter to collect their keys already ??

Hi Effie,

I am taking 5-room. Just saw on the HDB website that I am collecting keys on Jun 3rd and officially got the letter from HDB this afternoon. Very excited. Have already instantly inform my ID and they will be coming in the afternoon that day to have a look at the whole layout.

Ok. We can meet underneath the blocks. or long john sliver, pizzahut. heee.. evening is fine to me

Aiyah.....this sat will be busy for me cos my parents are moving in to Blk 220A next Monday and need help from me to do packing. Guess I can only join you guys next time..

Hi Bubbly, I'm taking 5 rooms too. Btw which ID r u using? Price?

[Bubbly 0]

mine still states "in due course" urghz!!! i wondering when can I get mine... i don't want to collect it during the lunar 7th month...even my HLE is still not approved

Bubbly, your blk is just beside mine right? so by right, i should be collecting my keys by end june latest?? can i say that? or SERs ppl collect 1st?

Not sure leh...but I do think you will be collecting your keys soon. You should pace your key collection time against Orange who is staying the same block as me and got the house through Jan balloting. Once Orange receive the letters means yours is not far out.

Hi Bubbly, I'm taking 5 rooms too. Btw which ID r u using? Price?

I am using IntraDesign (just opposite our new flats) and the ID I engage is Angeline Low.

Price wise, it is 25K without flooring and doors for rooms (cos I have opt for HDB to do that when I have selected my flats 2 years back).

Hi Orange,

Just try writing in to HDB to ask for an extension in producing the ROM cert, it might works. I remember hearing from my friend that his friend produced the cert one year after getting the keys.

Regarding quotations....

As mine is low budget (unlike some of you) was looking for ID's and comparing cost....

Just wanted basic's reno only... done first... so i came up with a need list of rennovation.... (and send it to 20 ids, five of them replied back ( D'espirit, Promax Homemakers, Weikie, Sk Interior, Artthouts).

Not sure how to attach a word or excel file here... so its all 5 ID's quote are in order but messed up.... try to make sense...If not give me your email id and i will send the comparison chart... in excel format.

Hope the above will help give you something to compare with your ID's quote. This is just a intro search to get a feel of the cost price of rennovation.

If any of you have any other quotations, we can add more of this compare list.

Price wise, it is 25K without flooring and doors for rooms (cos I have opt for HDB to do that when I have selected my flats 2 years back).

Is the flooring done by HDB good?? what materials are they using?? is it much cheaper to let HDB do it than letting ID or contractor to do it?? anyone has any pics to show??

Nothing beats seeing the tiles with your very own eyes. Visit Block 219A/B on weekends and you will definitely be accosted by contractors waiting for flat owners at the ground floor to the flats which they are contracted to and have completed renovation for.

I've done preliminary inspection today and with just 2 pairs of eyes discovered MANY, MANY defects & faults. So my advice is engage relatives and/or friends with eagle eyes & perform multiple detailed inspections - the costs is just a good meal for the inspectors.
