HAHA...SO CUTE HELLO88! How old are your boys? I have a 16month old and he's gonna terrorise me up and down those stairs for sure. Just had my fengshui audit for the maisonette. Any recommendations on ID/contractors? I was sorely disappointed by LWT who promised me a quote by last wed, but no word till today even tho I called them on Sat to remind them.

Sorry earlier I said $3K difference for not doing wall tiles. that's only for 2 toilets. So, $5k difference for doing wall tiles for 2 tolets and kitchen shld be about right. So ex!!! I also have to do my wall tiles for kitchen and toilets. Anyone tried "refinishing" - where they spray onto the tiles to change colour? Supposed to be cheaper. Does it last long?

Hi no_more,
did u got your flat cheaper than a resale flat at the same locality?
Hi dlyhsg,
where's your lovenest? So far I've never heard of sliding doors getting jammed easily. I'm very protective of my laminated flooring and did a top-hang sliding glass door so that mine got no tracks punctured onto my laminated floorings

hello, need to ask u something. i'm looking for instant water heater, any good and reasonable brand to recommend?
Hi Adel,
not storage heater right? I used to rely on 707 but latest I got for my new house was CHAMPS Titanium recommended by my friend and I got it from his shop.
Hi no_more,
ya, definitely cheaper than those who got direct from HDB. Did u check the latest resale transaction for your area? How's the price compared to yours?

hello, is champs good? or do u still prefer 707?
Hi Adel,
so far there's no difference and its cheaper than 707. 707 is an old reliable brand and I was using it for the past 6 years. Cant comment on CHAMPS since a new user to the brand but recommended by my friend who's been selling it and so far no violent complaints so should be ok

champs around how much huh..?? installation wise also hw much?? 
Hi no_more,
ya definitely cheaper than those who got direct from HDB when keys were first available (think 6 yrs ago). I think they paid more than $400k. As for resale, think 2 years ago, property wasnt this bad...now its really buyers' market.
i think resale transaction recorded some exec (might either be EM or EA) in SK recently for as low as $300k but condition unknown.
someone in renotalk bought a RP EM for 210k....cheap right. Marble flooring and shower screen.
so your reno would be quite minor right since flooring and grilles done up. So fortunate hor.
I got my EM so much lower than what our friend bought 2 years ago (same block) but I spend a bomb on the reno as to us, its not move in condition

Hi all,
Im very upset...today met up with a property agent engaged by my dad to sell his current flat, when he mention that any flat face PIE will have a hard time selling due to the fact ppl will feel it is noisy.
OMG, when I am getting my current flat, my agent did not mention anything like tis to me. I think I will live here permanently liaoz...sigh...very sad...imagine flat 5 yrs also no value...
Angree too...

Hi Gin
dun feel upset. The property agent might be frank to give the general views that flats facing expressway are difficult to sell but hey u never know. Facing is only one of the criteria when people buy flats. The overall interior plus other nearby amenities etc are what people look for. Maybe, the potential buyer might be someone looking for a flat near expressway and near parents.
cheers.

hi hello, yah i know what you mean, it is cheaper now than 6 yrs back.
i noticed RP EM selling very cheap, rem seeing 1 at hougang 20+ yrs at below 250K! but need major rehaul type.
we only need minor reno as the condition is move-in, guess it is "heng-sway" when it comes to RP units....i hv friend who bought RP unit and it comes with air-con! it was also cheaper than getting resale.
i guess u need to rehaul to recondition the place to your needs....but at least you are happy so it should be worth the money spent!

Hi Gin, err sometimes agent tell u something not good abt the flat so that seller will not be asking for too high selling price. Maybe its tactics? My prev 4 room was just beside a pri & sec sch, so there are agents who tell me, cant sell well cos too near school, some say easy to sell cos near school!!
Some pple may like ur locality and doesnt mind the PIE facing. Moreover, if u plan to stay there permanently, than who cares abt the resale value of ur area? Dun worry abt it!

Hey hello88, haven't heard from you in a while. Was at home two days last week nursing a bad back from carrying my kiddo the wrong way. Still hurts now, but had to come back top work. any help with reno would be dearly appreciated, e.g. who you went to etc. can PM me if you prefer.
RP is repurchased flat....
no, one can't get in to view the inside of the flat...so you won't really know what kind of reno or condition the flat has....but most likely from the condition of the area outside the flat or window, u can roughly guess the condition and what to expect...

Hi bleue,
thx! not a lot of reno to do. Need to overhaul the kitchen, 2 toilets and a walk-in wardrobe for mbr.
I guess the location for this unit can command above value cos jus across the road there's a wet mkt, shop n'save, Mcdonalds, harvey norman, 1 food court, 1 coffeshop and lots of shops...very convenient.
