Gadget, HDB already deducted 2 months of your monthly installment in mid Aug when you collected your keys. So, Nov is the next deduction. So, if falls on 16th of the month, CPF will deduct following month. yes, but hubby was thinking to invest / park $$$ again to invest before wipe out. No choice

Disappointed. I just received a call from my hdb officer, and that my HLE expired tomorrow. If Urgent, collect keys tomorrow. BUT, we felt too rush already. So, will need to reapply the HLE after expired and wait for the keys. And the rest will be announce by batches. oic, so is 2 months after key collection then monthly deduction.

Hi binzz, so you opt for homogenous tiles. That's my ideal too. But hubby was thinking of getting Granite. Because we have a dog, and worry she might pee on the tiles and leave the stain there. And, that's what happening at my sis-in-law's home. Hi bee joy, What outstanding amount is that? meaning paying cash or the downpayment you talking about? May i ask how to get the HDB advance for renovation grant? is there such grant? Hi Gadgetgal, so you are paying the monthly installment already? Deduction is from the month that you collected your keys? Btw, did you buy the Insurance from Private / Govt?

Yes, HDB will wiped out ALL upon keys collection ONLY if you are above 35yrs age. Else, will be another 5% (if i'm right). There's some pple here who only pay 5% downpayment & another 5% upon keys collection. For us, will be wipe out.

yes, totally agreed. Take the maximum loan and if you have $$ then shorten the loan. You can shorten the loan BUT not length the loan.

i have just called my officer-in-charged & finally answer my call. she said, earlier last week alot pple collecting liao & will check the status on what's holding back my keys. so, i guess dates will be out soon. Also, she said is released by batches. Yeah!!

yeah, thanks, will take note on this. now waiting for reply & check status on hdb.

thanks, so you emailed to your officer-in-charged? i'll do so shortly. thanks btw, you guys arranged for screeding is for laminate flooring purposes? for tiles / granite, we no need to do, am i right?

Xlan - Will be collecting keys on 16th Sparey - 16 to 20 Nemofc - Not collected keys (L15-20) Jasch - Not collected keys

sparey have you finalised your ID? have anyone write to your officer-in-charged on the keys? heard from my friend from other estate that they wrote in to enquiry on the keys and 1 week later, they were told to collect keys.

so, for those collected keys (27A), any defects?

o yes, so 3 from our blks have collected, so will be our turns. hopefully can collect soon, and quickly do up the renov. else, christmas / new year, the workers will be having long leave ....

i also have been checking hdb site but no changes. maybe cos' xlan is from enbloc so release to them first. Last weekends, we went up to our unit (27A), and happened to see the ID of 25A 6th fl, didn't know that he was following us to see which level we went.

Finally! you'll be collecting yours on 16th Oct? No news for us lei

gadgetgal, possible to share your quote to me? pm me, thanks

me going to HK next mth for vacation. 8 - 11 Nov. btw, when will you be back?

o ya, thanks, i tot is 8th floor. heee o yes, i get what you mean Lbox... did you ask how much esti renov cost? guess, they shoudn't. don't bother too much about them, just ignored. so far, we didn't get it from them. havn't been visiting the area for wks.

happy, was it the #8 @ 25a?

yeah, you so funny found cockroaches... so no defects, so no need to inform hdb? So happy for 27B collecting keys liao... can go take a look?

yo, i guess it's not possible to re-locate to the wall above the kitchen window. Agreed that it will be damaged. I guess, HDB contractor/ designer must have think & decide on the location before they fixed there. I feel is an ideal liao. Just my comment only.

Yes, i agreed that it will be small. We saw a unit #6th floor (i guess) although there's no L shape but the kitchen depth is very small as compare to the other unit which i saw. Most of the kitchen in-depth very big. So, if depth is not deep, i guess mini Lshape should be possible so no need to do the extension. Because, there's a unit we saw did a very in depth and doing a Lshape - make the kitchen very small. Unlike the #6th floor (i guess), depth not so deep. i'm consider that so that more space to hang clothings as i'll be keep the hanging bar there.

!! yes, that's what i mean. So, you will relay the waterpipes... i was thinking of doing a min "L" shape (almost similar to 1 showflat) but not relay the waterpipes, you understand?

Hi binzz saw your 3D drawings. just curious about your kitchen's drawings - "L" shape, the corner is a small raised up platform (based on the showflat) but from your picture, it's seems like a pillar. you want to share more?

thanks for list, i guess i will opt for all granite flooring.
