  3. RENOVATION is about cover up or modify the ugly side of the house with ideas and materials. In another term, to BEAUTIFY the place. Many complain here and there because they did not do enough homework. I would suggest get as more quotations from different firms if possible (works MUST be the same) if not how to make a FAIR comparision. By doing this, you will get an estimate of how much your reno costs. Do your bargaining because anyway you will be taking a risk for workmanship. Every one wants to save $ and don't like to be conned vice versa every business needs profit. If a company only earn a little from customer then might as well don't take up the deal. There are unreasonable owners out there too..after completion of reno..they want discount so will complain about workmanship...drag the last payment or even threaten to go to CASE...I have seen some but who is at losing end...the owner. Why? Firstly, if the company did all the required works stated in the contract so there is nothing wrong here except WORKMANSHIP. You can't complain about workmanship. In the past, I was working as a project executive for a renovation company. I have encountered some good and bad contractors. The bad ones I have blacklisted them, the good ones I keep their contacts for my own if I want to renovate my own house in future. Below are the works that I can provide you. 1. Electrical works 2. Ceiling works 3. Kitchen solid top surface 4. Painting 5. Laminated flooring 6. Carpentry 7. Glass and mirror works Feel free to contact me at 98228686 and no gimmicks.
  4. Dear all, I encountered 2 bad agents when I sold mine and bought another flat recently so I'm sure I can do better than them in terms of service and integrity...what happened? 1st agent who sold my flat (introduced by friend)- Promised to help me look for another flat but never do it (not a single viewing), New owner has paid $180 for my valuation report long ago, 2nd appt completion done, I still have to chase him. The day I went for 1st appt with Hdb, he cheated me to sign a draft document to fix 2nd appt in 6 weeks n told me that is standard. When I asked the Hdb officer, he told me that standard is 8 weeks unless both buyer n seller agree to fix the 2nd appt earlier. Is it because he can get his commission earlier? 2nd agent whom I bought my flat (walk in myself with no agent) - Knowing that I need to rent a place after handing over my above mentioned flat n waiting for the taking over of the new unit, I discussed with the agent before signing the OTP form n he promised me the owner will hand over the keys n unit to me ON 1st appt with Hdb which sounds good that I don't have to rent a place n move my furnitures 2 times. When the agent n myself are discussing to request Hdb to bring forward the 1st appt date..he denied our promise n gave the reason as miscommunication. Saying the owner can only release the unit to me by end of feb or Mar 2010. Said the owner played him out. We quarrelled over this issue n worst of all, he suggested I rent the unit from the owner while waiting for the transition period. Initially he offered to compensate me $1000 for the 2 months rental which I rejected. We compromised n both of us come out $1800 each n this time a draft black n white document signed between myself, agent n owner which i pay the owner upfront $1000..no more verbal promises. 4th Jan to inspect unit n 5th Jan to hand over keys to me n i have to pay the remaining balance of $2600 rental. On 4th, the agent handed over the keys but the tenant's furnitures n stuffs r all over the house. His answer was the tenant just returned to Singapore n will move away his stuffs latest by 5th which I agreed coz i'm not that unreasonable. Nothing happen here..no mover. On 6th morning, my movers picked up all my furnitures n stuffs from old unit delivered over to this new unit. Super cramp!! Called agent n he promised the tenant will move his stuffs today. When I questioned him "what if the tenant never remove his stuffs", he replied saying he can asked people to remove his stuffs. Sounds good coz I really have no place for my 2 babies to sleep. Time passed no mover comes...called agent again. This time he replied me there is nothing he can do...I fXcked him upside down n insisted him to come over to see the situation. Around 8pm, the tenant with frens came to move his stuffs..later came the agent. Spent quite awhile to move away the tenants stuffs. Left behind was those big gym set which occupied one of my common room n 42" Lcd which was wall mounted. Around 9pm+ we shifted here n there..cleaned the rooms so that myself,wife,2 babies, my mum n brother can have a place to sleep. Tenant requested to let him put these 2 things here till he got a mover which I agreed to. Few days later, they were taken away. Now waiting for our 1st appt with Hdb. I enrolled to become an agent under Dennis Wee Group. I'm not that kind of person who eat the whole bowl of rice by myself. I do share...ever heard from agents that have to pay GST? I can absorb GST by paying it from my own pocket since I'm earning the commission from consumers...ever heard that 2% for seller is standard? I'm negotiable...what is standard? No after sales service? How about a free 32" Lcd tv or cash Ang Pow $688 from me? I even called back the new owner who bought my flat...I want win-win situation to have long term relationship. Feel free to contact me if u trust me,thanks.
  5. Thanks Bro n Sis for your kind advices. Appreciate that. In the mist of negotiating with agent. Will keep u guys update. Thanks again.
  6. Thanks Wolflet..will try to get service provider to assist on this...pay service fee also worth trying.
  7. Thanks Swift. If I don't go ahead to purchase this unit, I will lose my $5k deposit n end up homeless. Afterwhich I still need to rent a place to stay till I found another unit. Incur additional $ for rental n movers. Don't wish to get into this hassle situation. My personal conclusion is that the agent never mention to the owner i required the key on 1st appt which he has promised me before I sign the OTP form. The unit is tenated out when I viewed the unit..owner staying another place. I also wish to clarify with owner whether did the agent told them I required to have the key on 1st appt. The answer is very clear cut. If agent did inform owner n thats between them now to salvage the situation. If owner agreed n back out, it's still the agent fault not securing any black n white document with owner. If owner never agree in the 1st place, it's still the agent fault not informing me that my request is rejected then I will have a choice whether to purchase or look for another unit. By keeping quiet n mislead me to sign the OPT form, it already proves that this agent has no honesty, integrity n responsibility at all.
  8. Hi Therat. Thanks for the advice...btw how do I print it? Do i need to seek my service provider for assistance?
  9. Be fair to other people. I deal with the agent directly so my finger should point at him only. You may be right that the seller also involve but that doesn't affect my point of view. So brainless n narrow minded.
  10. Just want to buzz this agent's ***...nothing to do with seller I assume seller is innocent.
