exterior sure old, but there will be 5 years new painting every year (i hope?) so what really matters is when you are in the house, i dont really hang around the neighbourhood lah. pardon me, but i dont really care about the view of the surrounding. seriously singapore got what view lah. everywhere also same hdb block if not is beside main roads, beside schools...OMG. haha. i just pray for a silent surrounding i happy already. and most most most important, no siao neighbours! i very scare.

I hope I can do it under 80, but hack everything down is hard. I am trying to buy some stuffs from taobao as I read many members here did. But scare coz later doesn't fit I die end up spend more $.

i think we are looking at 80k. a comfortable figure to work with for us

same as mine, 26. go for 2nd viewing, bring your baby or dog if you have. go at different times of the day, go on weekday and weekend. walk around the same floor...have a feel. thats what i did.

i think it is very affordable, considering if you like the area? is it accessible? now many sellers are holding back after the new HDB ruling. because they cannot ask for high COV anymore. its also very scary because they might be selling below market value. so many of them prefer to not sell instead.

you are so lucky for no COV. mine was below 10k, because of the recent change in HDB rules on valuation only after price confirm. its a very good deal i would say but no COV is definitely better!

yes, hacking everything down. because all the tiles are old. after hacking left only the structure. are you also choosing EM? i view a lot a lot of units, em, ea, 5I and condos but still choose em. its very spacious and i like that the bedrooms are separated from the common areas.

hello everyone. i am new here, just bought a EM at hougang ave 10. i am very scare of engaging contractors because of very bad renovation works for the 1st house we had. So now i am very careful and selective. also i am very stingy... want to save as much cost as possible. bought the unit in original condition from 1st owner, needless to say we have to hack everything. i am slowly going through the forums here for ideas, tips and whats not. more worried & stress than excitement!
