Banned 1 Report post Posted August 25, 2010 Today 1st appt day! First, we had to wait for late Seller AND Agent. Since we are doing Contra, we need all three parties to be present. Our Buyer was already quite annoyed... Anyway, we were ushered to the counter after a short wait one after another. Took turns to finalize and confirm all our documents. Then, we took turns to go into the interview room to sign many many documents, and confirmation papers. Turns out my mum has actually signed up for Trust, stating that for the sale of this current place, 50% will be returned to her, 25% to me, 25% to my brother. Thus we will have less to pay upfront for the new place, and I will need to use up more of my HLE loan (in fact, ALL $174,000 of it). We now need my brother down within the next week or so to sign the documents since we didn't know about this Trust thing, and also copies of his I/C and our birth certs and death cert of my father. After that, we went to Hommage Trading @ Tai Thong Crescent! Got a good deal of an L-shaped sofa (measurements to be confirmed) + 1 extra set of changeable covers for around $1,000. Next thing on the list... We made a beeline for Baroque D'zign because of the many good reviews I have read on this forum. Met up with Andy and we insta-liked him. Waiting for a quote from him and some negotiations. Meanwhile, he has advised us to start arranging for our delivery for our air-con (need to request for 2 time installation), lights (we went to lightings.com straight after), and sinks. Sofa and Bed can come later... Don't know about TV and etc too, but we will need to decide on our size because we're aiming for an inbuilt console with lots of shelving. Like I said, we went to lightings.com after that. bought 3 bedroom simple lights, and dining lights, and foyer light. And one simple living room light. We have not decided for the glam light in front of the TV yet cos we need to check the spacing for the ceiling fan. 2nd appt on the 20th October, here we come! Congrats man.. Hee.. wow.. u really got many things done liao.. haha.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
