havencaveman 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) Welcome Haven59! Pasir Ris got more EA or EM? coz i always see EM there leh, around the mrt station. haven59 is my wifey's nick, hmm reply u on her behalf i think theres more EA than EM in pasir ris, like the few blocks around my side, only 1 EM in each blk, only top floor, nice penthouse although there are some blks full of EMs, they are rare. if i were tomake a guese, i think the EA to EM ratio maybe is abt 6:1 or maybe even 8:1 in pasir ris Edited January 1, 2009 by havencaveman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Nearest" EA block to MRT. At least that's how 1 agent tried to sell one of the units there. Cos nearest block is 287D, which is all EM. We got at reasonable price, cos seller is first owner, so he can sell lower than if is 2nd owner. The other units we saw all "hang up to sell", not much room for negotiation.

Tsubame 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Gong Xi Fa Cai everyone! Like to check with those who are renovating, or just finished renovation last year on your EA how much you spent on reno and what was the scope of works involved? Scouting around for contractors now, so like to compare quotes on work if possible. Recommendations welcomed! Mine is resale. While we'd like to minimised the works, the flat is after all 10 years lived-in already. Would appreciate your sharing. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking for contractors too....Sorry to ride on your thread . Mine's also a 20yrs plus flat, i'd be the 3rd owner. Had enaged this company called JSDC at IMM 5 yrs ago and was very happy with the workmanship, but been to IMM lately and realised this company not there anymore...

Haha, then he must put quantifier, "nearest EA block to MRT in Toh Guan...". Visited the EA in 201 b4, a relative used to live there, then dunno why moved to 285. Toh Guan there is "youngest" flats around JE MRT already. Was previously looking at 5-rms in 103, 106 which is 26 yrs old already, and not every floor have lift, plus the lift very slow, but was right across my MIL place. In the end we want a flat with 4 bedrooms (or 3+1) and no stairs (107 have EM), so only Toh Guan can consider. Not to say the valuation for the 5-rms still quite high in spite of the flat's age. Most units gotta basically all hack and redo. The renovation cost likely to end up higher than doing up a relatively new EA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Joho, it's more like icky's thread. Welcome to the EA Group too. Yah the contractors at IMM changes quite frequently, although some say is just change company name... Do share your comments about contractors you have met. How much work needs to be done on your EA? Mine, I'm waiting to get my hands on the key, although the agent said can ask her to open the door if bringing contractors in for quotation. The owners already moved out so my unit is vacant now.
