coffee_o 1 Report post Posted September 9, 2009 jason said if we are not rushing to move in then allow him more time to finish the unit.. about 8 weeks.. if we need to move in asap then he can finish by 6 weeks.. i told him to do slowly.. make sure everything is 美美.. since CNY still a few months later.. =) 八月初八 is 26th sep.. it's a sat.. i'm staying quite far from my new place.. so sat better.. @ least we can take pic during the "hacking ceremony".. haha.. anyway we didn't choose the date.. just flipped thru the calendar & then decide.. did you choose a 大好日子 to start reno? Yah better not rush else if everything not swee swee and need more time to rectify then will delay further I havent choose my starting date yet since i've not collected my keys moreover after collecting i still need to ask FSM to go take a look first before deciding the date Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coffee_o 1 Report post Posted September 10, 2009 (edited) kopi,how much u pay for the recess area ah?how big is it? Wah I not sure how much yet leh but dun think it will be very ex le. Will be gg down to the branch office during lunch time to settle the paperwork The recess is very very small only, maybe it's because of this, HDB approved the purchase quite fast as compared to others You see my floor plan hor, it's the just small small square area in front of my main door In order for me to fix my metal gate to flush with my wall, I will need to purchase the stoopid square area in front of it else HDB don't allow me to install my gate there. Stoopid right ? Edited September 10, 2009 by coffee_o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coffee_o 1 Report post Posted September 10, 2009 Hahahaha my happiness is short-lived And my nightmare begins when I'm in the Branch office Firstly, they told me that since I'm not the rightful owner of the flat, they need the seller to fill up another form (why didn't they told me when I asked them to fill up a form previously?) Next, I will have to pay by cash since I'm not the owner yet So in order not to trouble the seller, I've decided not to proceed with the purchase till I'm the rightful owner of the flat I guess I'm fine with that since I believe it will not disrupt my reno plans by too much so bo pian But I just feel that the procedures should be lay out clearly so that we as buyer is aware of the complications Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
