    I also think the layout is interesting. The level 1 look spacious even with a store n service balconey. is it becos it has taken space from level 2? Cos the area is 142 but many of those 147-154 area also doesnt have store or service balconey.

    This layout is similar to my friend's EM located at Toh Guan. Yes it has the advantage of a service balcony but the living room and balcony as compared to my EM is smaller since the space has been taken by the service balcony. Nevertheless, service balcony is good to place your washing machine and hang your clothes. For me w/o a service balcony, I got to hang my clothes at the kitchen area.

    Hi All

    My mansionette is something like the floor plan above whereby the living room on 1st floor is my master bedroom on the 2nd floor. On the 1st floor, there is a balcony with a tiled roof that overlooks my master bedroom on 2nd floor.

    Instead of just a tiled rooftop for the 1st floor balcony, I wanted to turn it into 2 balconies, 1 for each floor. Meaning I will hack the window for my master bedroom, install either a sliding or foldable door and construct a floor on that space which was previously the tiled roof. Some condos have this kind of balcony attached to the master bedroom. I was thinking if I can do the same for my mansionette. I wondered if any mansionette owners did have such a renovation before for their own unit. Please provide feedback if this idea is feasible or if HDB will approve of such a renovation/construction.

    late to see this :(

    i saw in this forum someone post pics of ceiling fan with lights, blue color blade for daughter's bedroom, nice one ... but forgot the thread, couldn't find it back. anyone knows?

    or any recommended shop with lots of options of ceiling fan with lights?

    need big one (but not so big) for living room and small ones (36"?) for bedrooms.

    you can try Palace Lights along Balestier. Look for Kelvin or Steven.

    u have false ceiling? what yr ceiling height?

    min ceiling height from ceiling to floor if im not mistaken according to HDB rule, it must be min 2.4M.

    Based on my experience after I sold my flat last year, your actual profit will be :

    Sale Price OF Flat -(CPF Amount Used To Pay Current Flat+CPF Accrued Interest+Balance of Housing Loan) = Profit

    This profit will be given by HDB officer during 2nd appointment to hand over the keys to the new owner in the form of Cashier's Order which is equivalent to a cheque.

    Hi bros and sis!

    Yipee! Finally I've collected my keys for my EM at Tampines, (Opposite Century Square Area). :sport-smiley-004:

    Starting my reno this week, hope can learn and get some advice from you guys here!

    Not much money left to reno after paying for the house though. :(

    But overall still very excited as got more space for my little daughter to roam about when she is older.

    :notti:

    Wow .. Tampines is my dream area but too bad @ that point of them when I was scouting around for my new flat, I don't have that much cash power in my hands. I wonder how much COV did you pay 4 that unit?

    Over the weekend when I was @ All Best, the staff told me that for the non-inverter type for LG System 3, the compressor doesn't have a split unit in it. Meaning even if you are running for the master bedroom alone or with all 3 units on, the compressor will always function at full power. This could mean higher power consumption for those who don't fully utilize the system 3 on a regular basis.

    jessie bought her EM not too long ago...

    only one word to describe....she's one lucky gal to get it at valuation cos its a divorce case so seller wanna let it go no matter what and not like some not serious seller who are trying to gain from the current market.

    urs also not bad right? What's the usual resale prices for EM over in Woodlands?

    I think one of the factors that affect EM prices would be the age of the flat. For my area, I think that the neg part otherwise its really convenient as walking distance to MRT, bus interchange, mall and downstairs also got row of shophouses (7-eleven, coffeeshop, salon, etc)

    Cant really recall offhand on what's the average price for EMs for Woodlands area. However my unit is near to the market,24hrs supermarket, 7-11 store and 10mins walk to Woodlands MRT. Moved-in last year around Nov and now thinking of doing some minor renovations.

    Previously I didn't get the chance to do up the EM before moving in, as the buyer for my old flat can't give me the buffer period as he was a PR and his rental lease for his unit was up & the owner wanted him to vacate the premises ASAP.

    thanks hello for helping me reply ;)

    yeap, hello is right.

    the previous owner has gone thru divorce case and ordered by court to sell within 6mths,...and initially, the owner asked for quite high COV and nobody buys.....hahahah :D

    then when i went to view,....the valuation is expiring in few days time,..and their deadline of 6mths has overdued.

    so, they are kind of under *force sell* situation....keke :)

    You are one lucky gal indeed coz i wasn't able to get a unit with a reasonable price back in Hougang.

    mine only 4th floor.......was not able to get any idealo high floor unit....and found this hse which is of reasonable price lor.

    mine is unblocked view (facing main road and opposite is those low rise private landed houses), just next to HG swimming & sports complex,.....nearby is poly-clinic,.....and if walk to hougang mall & hougang mrt stn will be ard 20-25mins walk.

    Was wondering to when did you purchase your EM at Hougang coz it kinda hard to get a unit w/o COV. I did have a look around at Hougang last year when I was looking for a resale flat and basically all are asking for COV of min $40K.

    At last I settle for an EM in Woodlands for COV of $17K, with valuation of $345K. It's a walk-up unit on the 3rd floor but HDB is gonna build the lift soon as they have mail us the pamphlets for it.

    I have moved into my current resale flat and intended to change the current System 3 air-con which is more than 10 years old. I had the system serviced before and confirmed there wasn't any leakage in the piping system.

    Now I intended to change the aircon and was quoted 1.8K for a Toshiba System 3 with non-inverter using R22 w/o the change of piping. Sounds expensive to you guys?
