Hi panjangowner! I've been popping by rt once awhile to reinstate that excitement of getting my new resale flat. As a new flat owner, I Diy-Ed and settled on a 4 room resale unit in jelapang after 2 weeks of viewing using similar method as yours as my first day of viewing 7 flats didn't leave an impression. Now can't wait for my first hdb appointment in mid January..wish the appointment date could be as immediate as possible so I could start on Reno before cny but appears like the peeps at hdb have their arms and feet tight up during this period. Should appreciate this window period abit more as it gives me ample time to source for contractor. I've looked around for contractors and managed to find one with very reasonable rates especially in the carpentry side and also the lowest I found. Good things don't come cheap, and expensive isn't necessary top notch. So I'm willing to forsake a little on quality it its within my budget of $35k. Have you confirmed your contractor? Do take time to visit his existing project to ensure their quality matches your expectations, nothing beats seeing the real thing vs touched up images on their hand phones or iPads. I visited the contractor's almost completed project and found some flaws that the owners also shared with me that will be rectified during the last phase. At the very least it keeps me prepared on the outcome of my flat should I engage him. Keep us updated! would be nice if able to share concurrent updates on our flats in jelapang road! By the way, my unit is the quieter area nearer to segar lrt, what about yours?
