makemefly 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2008 i also think our flats got lots more beams than the usual flat. is it bcos ours are very tall blocks? that's why need more beams for better support and more stable structure? no doubt they are irritating. make our house look smaller than it is (already is).my hubby worked with condo contruction firm. he said it's not really due to tall blocks that beams are protruding. it's because hdb doesn't really care so much about the aesthetic e.g. to voer up the beams and columns properly.totally unstr8 walls and uneven ceilings will never have passed inspection for condos.i have some watermark above my dining area, feel kek sim by that. pay so much and get this.. sighs.

Tats why the selling prices looks so impressive! My fren also stays there and he got his unit the same price as my unit but his was the relocation scheme.i think the buyer is the couple who sold their queenstown EA for 890k. it's a game for those whose pockets are full full.

Zlia 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2008 Hello msbeanI remember before i collected my keys my status in HDB website was like that. Then i called HDB and they said they will send me letter to resubmit my past 3 months income documents. Then true enough I received it the following day. I tink don't need to reapply, but need to resubmit income documents to prove that there were no significant changes in income. hi gals I have a new status on my HLE as below :-We have received your application form and are currently processing your HLE application.
