aegis 1 Report post Posted July 26, 2011 Hi All, Been lurking at RT for awhile ever since i signed the option for my 3RM Flat in FEB this year. Got my Keys in Apr and let the seller stay for 2 months as agreed before signing the Option. Finally got the flat in 25 June and busy looking for ID firm for the reno. Selected 9 Lives and signed the contract tonight. Hope everything will be smooth without major hiccups. Attached my floor plan and some pics i took during my site visit with the ID firms. I did not took the pic of the Kitchen toilet. FloorPlanLiving RoomKitchenMaster BedroomCommon Room Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aegis 1 Report post Posted July 29, 2011 Wow!!! That's long to look for a flat. I took 3 weeks for mine. It's all depends on luck, I guess!Hi May, the process took so long because i have limited budget for COV and the area i'm look at. Just Happy managed to found 1 after this year CNY.Yesterday the ID have help me to hack part of the house to symbolise start of work before the 7th month. They start the real hacking next wednesday as my permit from HDB is approved except 2 things, which is hacking of wall between 2 toilet and construct of half height wall in between the storeroom and kitchen. Pray hard it will approve fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mummymantras 0 Report post Posted July 31, 2011 Master BedroomI'm seeing stars! It's nothing compared to the flat I've purchased though. The previous owner let her son (who is already in Primary 6, by the way!) doodle all over the walls! The kid is a budding graffiti artist... and a really bad one to boot! None of his doodles can be considered even remotely artistic... They are either lopsided representations of various foods or "I love ma ma!" Sigh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
