Finally decided to start our reno T-blog ~ have been reading renotalk for many months ... Searching for dream home Have viewed for more than 20 units since April ... finally found the one we love. We were so particular on the floor plan, we fall in love on the floor plan of the 3rd unit we viewed but we still not eligible to buy during that time (our first home still haven't met the 5 years MOP). After viewing of few units and we decided to stick to that area with similar floor plan, this actually restricted and we only have limited choices .. i.e. it really took us few months to find the unit we like. Peoples feel strange that we buying house for its floor layout ... Our first home was located in walking distance to Bedok MRT and we really like Bedok this area, it was so convenience and many nice food markets around; but we decided to look for other areas after viewing two units in Bedok. The hdb selling in Bedok was really overprice and we started to look around for areas such as Tampines and Sengkang .. finally we settled our second home at Tampines. The new place we bought was around 15 years old and it was at the top floor .. First appointment fall on September and we probably will collect our key around end October ...
