Hi there,

how does the noticification of 2nd appt letter look like? Is it a letter telling that the sales has been approved in principle and the estimate date of completion to be on xx/xx/xxx?

2nd appointment letter is very simple , it will inform both buyer and seller of the date of the 2nd appointment. My HDB office is quite screw up so they sent me an sms to go down even before i receive my 2nd appointment letter. Basically the buyer dont really have to do anything but to get your relevant details ready which will be stated in the 2nd appointment letter.

>>Born again - i am still figuring out how to post my floor plan here lol... cant seem to know how to inset the image

lazydevil, u can upload your pictures to www.photobucket.com, copy the IMG codes and paste it here Usually the layout has a transparent background, you can add in the background using photoshop.

Hope this helps

no la not screwed up...means hdb very efficient so u got the sms alert before the letter.

anyway, luckily i still have this inside my photobucket. U can create an account and start storing your photos there. So far, i think photobucket easy to use. By the way, no need to delete the IMG, just copy the entire link fromthe IMG Code and paste onto your reply then it'll show up

Pros and Cons for the Square and Rect Balcony,

Suare Balcony is more spacious as compared to Rectangle Balc,

but the Living Rm for the Sq Balc will be smaller definitely ....

Some people from e Sqr Balc has problem hanging their laundry cos there isnt any pole holders.

End up having to hang un sightly laundry in their beautiful balcony...

Depends what u wan bahhh =D

Enjoy your home searching...

p/s.. Come be my neighbour in Bukit Gombak!

Maybe you want to call Uncle soon? Just a quote base on the works required maybe? It takes him a while to come back with the quote actually.

The quotes quote high. Mine Uncle quoted me less than 50k for many works.

No regret~

Mine is a rect balcony. Below are my own preferences:

Likes

- Living room and kitchen seems to be slightly bigger

- Only need to close one door to keep cooking smell in kitchen, instead of 2 (to living rm and to balcony)

- Feels more like a balcony as next to the living rm, and not btw kitchen & living room. If next to kitchen, some may use it as a service balcony

- Rubbish chute is in kitchen instead of in balcony. So for those who intends to use sq balcony as only balcony, will see the chute. Not very nice for owner to throw rubbish if guests are enjoying the balcony.

Dislikes

- No service balcony. WM eats into kitchen area

- Think sq balconies can try to bbq (for those w/out roofs). Nvr see pple with rect balconies do it b4.

So far, no regrets. But I didn't search for an EM with rect balcony intentionally. We just wanted an EM and would consider both sq or rect balconies. But we prefer rect balconies so far. Also, I think Jurong seems to be mostly rect balconies. haha

Angel> yupz i will be tearing the whole house down and basically doing everything up again

Familyof4>> I am abit apprehensive calling Uncle Soon at the moment as i am compiling all the pictures on the specfic details of every nooks and corners of the house. As i know that contractors wont have a 3D graphic drawn up. So i will need to have pics to show them on what i specifically want.

Everytime i quote that i have a budget of $45k to the IDs , i think they are pretty turned off by my low budget and yet i wanted alot of stuff done up for my house...lolz...
