Lubber Duckie 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Hi, I would like to knock down a HDB bed room's wall to make the living room bigger. a) I understand that I need to apply through HDB, but what are the chances? b) Will it affect the valuation if I decide to sell in future? c) Is it possible to rebuilt the wall conforming to HDB standards? If yes, how much roughly? Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Warrior88 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 Mine was a 24 years old flat and rejected The following renovation works do not comply with the current renovation guideline: 1. Reposition toilet entrance for commom bath/WC1, seal up existing entrance (mark blue on plan) and opening new entrance (mark red on plan). Reason: This is a prefabricated flat. Our Structural Engineer has advised that: a) The existing reinforced concrete walls between BATH/WC 1 and kitchen/Dining are not allowed to be demolished or tampered with.

therat 18 Report post Posted March 2, 2010 affect valuation is 1 thing. By knocking down 1 room. It will restrict the buyer pool. Unless the buyer want a bigger living with 1 room less or The buyer willingly to spend extra $$ to re-create the room back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
