Songz 132 Report post Posted August 21, 2014 Congrats.Must have save quite a bit. Which area and any floor plan of the place ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aSteRuS 1 Report post Posted August 21, 2014 Hi Songz,Yes, I saved a bit there but it came with a lot of headaches for not engaging buyer's agent.Had to go through a lot of heartaches (such as seller's agents refusing to follow up with me when they learnt I'm on my own or chancing upon unit that I like and advertised by agent who is not the appointed seller's agent etc etc) before I found this unit. Thank God I met this unit's seller agent. A very nice chap who happens to be staying in the same area for the past 30 years, same as me.My unit is at Jurong West St 52, 3A flat. Will upload the floor plan and before-reno pictures shortly.By the way, I'm really glad to chance upon this forum as I was wondering what to do with the marble flooring in my living room and terrazzo flooring in both my bedrooms. So glad I managed to pick up a tip or two on how to salvage these flooring ... ... another saving there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got my flat also without buyer agent leh. I had a very 'talkative' sister who help me call seller agents though. Most agents thought my sister representing me.

aSteRuS 1 Report post Posted August 29, 2014 Hi Koori,Congrats on getting your own flat too!Oh, there is a seller's agent but he is not required to attend the first appointment with me la .Without an agent, buying a HDB resale flat is do-able but just that needs to do up a lot of homework. I like the marble flooring. My MBR and common room flooring are terrazzo flooring though. Wonder if anyone has any lobangs on polishing?Cheers,aSteRus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aSteRuS 1 Report post Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) 3 October 2014 The day I collected the keys to my bachelorette pad. Feeling excited to be getting my own place but at the same time feel helpless towards the entire renovation process. Believe me, I seriously don't know what needs to be done during a renovation process but I'm really lucky to chance upon renotalk forum and got many valuable tips from the contributors here!So here I am, playing my part to contribute to the forum.
