hi Jam75,
the new units leftover in Mar'06 WIS hor...
i will faint man!
Both Senja... 4rm one, i dun like the neighbour, coz is gurung guni... a lot of things outside.
5rm one, low level & is near to rubbish chute.
so i was quite upset wif this 2 lor.
i only wanted 4rm initially, tat's y very headache whether to choose Jelebu 5rm.
i oso dunwan RP just like u, if not, i can get during Jul'05 WIS liao.
in the end still choose Jelebu, since i always wanted somewhere near BPP, so tat i can go NTUC(& work) easily mah... keke... auntie liao!
ya, RP is sell back to HDB, coz less than 5 yrs old, they cannot sell in resale market.
my officer told me most likely the couples divorced or cannot pay.
B4 i confirmed choose tat unit, we did asked the neighbours regarding the previous owner.
everything seems fine leh...
so we take liao.
actually RP flats not tat bad leh...
keke... think quite a lot of advantages one...
i duno how to say lah.

hi all,
wa.. so many postings..
think at the end of the day, it has to do with personal preference..
jam, initially i was like you, i dun like RP but when i went to look at senja area, i love the place alot.. the ambience is reali good.. so when i saw tat they only have RP i oso dun mind..
but of course we have to do precautions b4 deciding on the unit.. we went to reccee the place and talked to the neighbors to make sure that there is nothing wrong with the unit then we make up our mind to buy lo..
and now me n hubby very happy with our unit..
but nowadays i see resale, everyone is paying so much above valuation, 18k la, 25k la.. which i feel tat its a bit too ex..
but like i said, personal preference rulez at the end of the day la..

angel & gelanie
agreed wif both of u loh...
resale flat is so much ex compared to WIS flat loh...indeed the abv valuation amt is really high & oso v hard pain...but WIS not much leftover f gd location somemore i hate most is that chinese quota is always full!!
again like wat gelaine mentioned high valuation either the unit is very well maintained/well furnished or gd location...if every thing is well maintained is oso hassle free for reno too loh...

angel, glad dat at least yr RP unit is wat u & yr hb wan loh...roughly how much will u spent on reno??
my fren oso mentioned loh...if get a new flat u got to pay quite a big sum for renovation....v simple wan oso got to cost abt 20k...
getting a resale flat if everything the previous owner can maintain in gd condition...onli nid to buy some furniture & move in....

hihi,
jam: thanx!! mine is a premium flat so the basic reno is done by the HDB.. plus its RP then the previous owners who are a young couple oso done up some reno that we are keeping.. cos the reno done by them wasn't that bad..
so in the end with HDB n the previous owners reno, our reno is very minor..
my reno is about 5k.. it includes, installation of all lights, swtiches, heaters, hob, curtains, painting of whole house, construction of feature wall and platform (in the living room), construction of full length mirror in dining area and 1 glass door at the kitchen.. very simple hor? heehee.. =D
its true.. if you get a new flat, the reno will easily come up to 20k.. but at least you can have a reno tat is done according to your taste..
resale in BP seems veyr ex nowadays.. have to pay above valuation.. and i feel that even if you buy a new flat n reno it, you wouldnt have to pay such a high price as resale..

jam75,
dun be headache lah...

sometimes, it's not easy to come across a unit which u like & the price is gd.
some pple even viewed more than 20 units b4 can find a good one.
take ur time to find & see see lor.
i feel tat the WIS will not be so soon lor.
so during these periods, just go & have a look lah.
if u managed to have one u like, & price reasonable, just go for it lah.

hihi,
jam: like what joan said, think WIS for BP not so soon.. so in the meantime while waiting for WIS to come, you go source for resales too.. who knows you might come across one that you reali like the reno n not very ex? if the owners are desperate to sell their flat, they might cut down the price.. you never know..(must always look on the bright side)
BP although may not be very matured but is def better than places like jurong west, punggol, sengkang.. and i m very sure BP will be more developed in the near future.. BP going to have a new stadium soon!!
and BP is accessible to alot of places.. orchard, shenton, bukit timah, woodlands, etc, etc.. can you say the same for other not so mature estates?
and i m sure you going to stay here for quite awhile right? so more things may be developed too..
heehee.. me like advertising for BP.. but.. i m sure you chose BP cos you like this area too..

My hubby wanted to move in during the 7th month so will need to get a fengshui shifu to choose an auspicious date : )

Hi jam75
Welcome to BP! In fact, I myself find the prices for BP v. high as compared to Bukit Batok. Most important is, you must like the location and is within your budget.
Be happy and look round for resale flats while waiting for WIS, who knows you might find one that suits all your criteria.
Cheers!

Actually it really depends. If the unit face slightly at an angle, the sun won't hit their unit at all.
Hello all,
i just bought my flat at Bt Panjang too... but i bought resale at segar.. which is an area that i once said i DIE DIE wont buy! hahah. but in the end i still bought cos i really like the interior of the house, and walking abit to the lrt station everyday wont kill me after all lar...
i think it is areas like segar which u guys still can buy alot under valuation, for me i paid 15k below. at the end it is all up to personal preference.. me and FH are very happy with our choice so far!

Hi Joan
Oh really! That's good news! Then laying of tiles should be completed before the 7th month.
Collection of our key falls on chinese 7th month. So most probably we will only be able to renovate the house on the 2nd 7th month.

Not lunar 8th month, should be lunar 2nd 7th month... Luan qi yue. Got it?
I have already started sourcing to see what housewares I can buy from this Singapore sales. I just bought some corelle cutleries today
A bit kiasu. Anyway, my mum place is quite near my new house so moving the stuff there shouldn't be any problem.
The last time I bought some bedsheets, there wasn't any sales. This Singapore sales I went to buy more bedsheets, discount was from 20-50%. What's more, the same design I bought the last time is now 20% less!!! So heartache
So better buy some stuff now or else by the time we move to our new house, there won't be any sales.
