ext'g condition can say is like SxxT. heng didnt pay too much for the COV then. all walls will be replastered, all door flames and doors to be replaced by new one, even ext'g sliding wdws/grilles will have to go....and etc etc...too many things liao

agent plays a v impt part in times like tis. cos i koe some agent dun wan 2 get involved in reno process lor. 4 my case, my agent helped us 2 set-up the date & time. then we meet the owners ourselves 2 let them sign on the forms lor... we also burst our reno budget. cos juz scrutinize the window & grilles tis evening, found tat we muz really change them.

hi ahwee, actually if u want 2 do reno(eg. hacking of walls, erecting new ones) & the hse is stil under the previous owners' name, u can ask them 2 help u 2 sign on the reno form. tis is wat i wil b doing. the current owner is agreeable 2 it cos i wan 2 save some time. hope can squeeze in a little reno b4 cny long holidays.
