  1. 1. Buyer has to buy over valuation reporter from seller because buyer needs it for housing loan application. Only buyer needs it, seller does not need it.

    2. Yes buyer can straight away exercise OTP. Expiry period is standard 14 days for OTP. Yes buyer has to pay 5K deposit.

    3. HLE must be obtained before date of exercise Option To Purchase and it must still be valid on the date they exercise the OTP. It is fine for HLE to expire on 1st appointment.


  2. Hi guys, thanks for the advise. Just got some info from my contractor. My 5 + 1 package is 5 colours from the Nippon Vinilex 5000 series plus white (only Matex) for the ceilings)

    Is 5000 series enough? Or shoud I insist for other ranges such as washable or 3-in-1? I heard 3-in-1 very hard to touch up, will have dark patches if touch up including the light colours also.

    I used Nippon Vinilex 5000 series for my current house. It has been 3 years, the colours are still looking good.


  3. I agree with you that the price is very attractive . However my electrician told me that the quality differs from those in sg when he saw my purchaes. Wonder if anyone have such experience?

    I am not sure about other JB lighting shops. 3 of the ceiling lights which we bought from "Best Lighting" shop in JB could not work. We had to make another additional 2 trips to JB to exchange. The bad thing about this shop is they don't allow customers to test our lights in the shops. For 1 light which came with a missing rod piece, they just passed us 1 rod and asked us to fit it into the light by ourselves. They refused to help us fix the rod or exchange that light 1 to 1. :( In the end, we had to ask my electricians to fix the rod for us. I would not recommend my friends to buy lights from that shop due to the unideal service. My electricians did not comment on the difference in the lights when they came for light installation at my house.

    On the other hand, the service given by the "Best Home Kitchen and Hardware Solution" shop in JB to us were brilliant. We are very pleased by their service. They allowed us to exchange the custom-made sink to another one though it was no fault of theirs. They also taught my hubby on how to assemble the towel racks and shampoo racks step by step when my hubby asked them.

    Address: No 27, Jalan Ros Merah 2/10, Tmn Johor Jaya, JB


  4. Take photos of the flood and complain to HDB, make sure HDB gives them demerit points. Once their company reaches certain no. of demerit points, their renovation license will be suspended for months.

    How much money have you paid the company?

    Contact CASE about the bad service, and ask them how you can terminate contract with the company and get a refund from them. It is better for you to engage another contractor to finish up the renovation quickly than waste time waiting for them and waste money on rental.

    Why did I choose this laminate? :bangwall: I should have put in more thought into the design. Oh well...

    Heehee I chose the same laminate as u. It is for my kitchen cabinets. Reasons for choosing it - dirt, scratches and fingerprints will not be obvious on it. :P

    I like your dining light and painting! How much is that dining light?


  6. Money involved so need a BnW piece of paper to give assurance n kind of solution for difficult situation, especially when Tommy's health is concerned. Anyway, no discussion on contract yet but the guy seemed to be less interested in our low budget project n he currently only does landed property projects leh.. I just read my husband's message history with Tommy, surprised at the suggested attitude to easily drop our project.

    Umm.. I need seriously a solution to meet my target moving in date already. How long does it take a carpentry factory to fabricate my kitchen? Anyone knows?

    :) we choose an open concept kitchen. Thats why I just ordered a powerful hood, hahha...

    The carpentry factory (located in singapore) that my main contractor engaged, took 4 working days to fabricate all my built-in cabinets after he submitted the drawings to them. They just delivered my carpentry this week; it was actually 1 week earlier than scheduled date.

    You also need to allocate a few days on your side to choose laminates and finalise the cabinet drawings.

    Hope your renovation problem will be settled soon. Cheers :)


  7. What company is this?

    Please do not pay them the remaining 50%, and go to HDB to report their damages to the gas and water pipe. They will probably get demerit points from HDB and their demerit points will be showed in the contractor list page in HDB web site.

    Once a contractor clocks certain no. of demerit points, HDB will suspend their business for 6 months.


  8. Issit? I bought most from Best Light in JB.

    May_dream, I like like like but dont know how I can clean it next time. ahahhaha

    Hi NeoBY,

    I like your spiral lights! :yamseng:

    Is this the address of Best Light shop that you bought from?

    Best Light Electrical at No 103,105 Jalan Ros Merah 2/3, Taman Johor Jaya. They are located opposite of "Auto Mart Taman Molek"

    Thanks.


  9. You can view your credit rating report from Credit Bureau Singapore at $5.35.

    The bad credit rating will stay for 3 years in Credit Bureau Singapore even after one repays the debt in full. There is no way of erasing the bad credit rating.

    Your hubby can put himself as sole-owner of the HDB flat and you as co-occupier, and applied for bank loans using his name only. The bank loan application will be likely approved if he has enough income.

    Take note that if you do this, only your hubby (sole owner) 's CPF can be used to pay for the downpayment, monthly bank loan instalments etc.


  10. historically, a spouse make or break the other spouse.

    Marry someone good, will "wang" the other person. Marry someone who do not care about the other party's interest, will break the other party.

    Here i do not discriminate any sex - but read lots of historically stuffs and lessons show that way.

    Are you hinting that I bring bad luck to my spouse? :rolleyes: Why does a thread about HDB rules suddenly turn into a Fengshui thread?

    Let me explain the situation in more details. My spouse filled up the BTO application form wrongly, end up his parents would have to sell off their existing flat in order for us to own that BTO flat. His parents didn't want to sell their flat, of course we must cancel the BTO application mah.

    Anyway that incident was in the past. What's more important is the present. My hubby and I own a flat now and we are happily married. :)
