when I was renovating my place; I did ask the same question to HDB as well. any "bold" wall indicated in the floor plan must not be hacked or drilled; they are the beams that hold the whole building together. even when I ask my ID about it; they say even if I pay them $1M, they won't do it for me too. ur ID is suppose to know and advise u on walls that can/ cannot be hack.

Guys, Anyone can advise what is the rough estimated market rate for full height wardrobe & display cabinet with glass door? A colleague of mine just got a very ridiculous quote of $10,000++ (his room alone), which amount to nearly $260 per feet for his wardrobe. I remember when I was renovating my house; it was that expensive. Anyone can advise?

haha..ya ya..my bad!

it can be over but if it's not certified by IDA, cannot be use also. and if previous owner rejected the chance to install when they invite; it will cost you $220 now for them to come by. i would suggest pixel to quickly call them to explain the situation so as to try and waive the $220.

NGNBN - Fibre to your home comes in 3 stage; from building to each individual floor then into your house. Fibre ready doesn't mean they have started to install the termination box into your home; you need to wait for their invite or call them to check. even if it's installed; you can't use it until IDA check and approve the entire area (and I mean all the blocks ard) before it can be certified to start using.

i have the exact same door as you; in fact of them. haha

i'm eligible for 2nd HDB loan leh..maybe I'll just pop by HDB to check out to be clearer. I also understand there's 2 type of contra; one for resale market; the other for getting new homes (but dunno if it apply to DBSS)

so for my case; i need to have the 15% available in CPF right? I thought HDB has contra facility for owners who have existing and will be selling to fund next new flat; seems like it don't work for DBSS here.. if i buy a $580K unit; i will need to fork out $29K cash (5%) + $87K CPF + Cash (15%), gosh..MBT not helping citizens much yah? haha

this is singapore; what can we expect. i still remember when i was looking for a resale at my area; there was this agent who stay below my MIL and happen to know each other. Upon knowing I was looking for a flat; he immediately set up appointment for me to view a 5 room unit; just opposite his own house. he did everything without knowing my requirements; in hope that I will buy from him just because he know my MIL. so out of goodwill, I went to view the unit (renovated with a lot of shi*, made a 5 room look like 3 room flat). during the view; he praise the unit; the FS, the reno etc etc and immediately ask me to issue him the cheque for deposit. valuation of the flat then = $290K, owner asking COV $30k i told him i will consider and revert. i started doing research and homework and realised the 5 room at my area wasn't in demand then, a lot of units were going at valuation or below valuation or maybe ard $10K COV (if nicely done up). one night he called me again; asking me to go view and discuss on the unit again; I told him, i will need to reno the whole place etc and will only pay $5K COV, straight after that he didn't contact me again. many months later (after i got my flat); when I bump into him at the lift landing; he didn't even greet or say hello - that's how realistic agents are.

no resale levy needed if I'm upgrading; what's more I'm buying a DBSS which resale levy (for 2nd property) is not applicable.

Guys, I badly need some doubts cleared now. I'm looking to upgrade to a 5 room (with my 2nd boy arriving soon) and will most likely be trying for a new DBSS. In my case, the DBSS will only TOP in 2013 or 2014. If I were to apply now and if I heng heng get it, I will need to pay 5% cash (no issue on this) but the 15% will need to wait till my current flat is sold (after the proceed is refunded to my CPF). That will mean I can only sell my flat nearer to the TOP of the new flat. In such scenario; what can HDB do to help?

wow..6 months - haiz looks like have to miss the chance liao. then again, can anyone confirm if HDB has change the MOP to 3 years from this year onwards?

did u do a platform with in build pond at your balcony?

I'm actually trying to apply for the Yishun EC (which will be near to my MIL place as well). If they were to launch this year; I'm definitely not going to make it for the application if I were to wait for my MOP hence I'm asking if it can be done by appealing..

Hi, Need some advice before I decide if I should proceed. When I bought my 4-roomer back in 2006, I always feel that even if 2 kids come along, it will be big enough to accomodate everyone; I was so wrong. I have plans to upgrade and I'm planning to get either a DBSS or EC but my MOP is next February. What are the chances of a successful appeal to HDB if I want upgrade and at the same bring my MIL to stay with me.

Anyone waiting to upgrade to an EC?
