How much .. don't know.. only HDB know. and you can't negotiate 2. reno cost is your not HDB. HDB will not return or refund or reimbursed any cost that you has spend on the unit. Many years back, my friend return the unit to HDB. Penalty, 10 yrs cannot apply from HDB.

  9. It depend what design you want. If you choose those diamond shape , quite cheap.. I think 1 meter only few dollar. I bought 1 meter back in 2010 in HW shop.. cannot remember the price. But full height need some helpers and skill. My window is only 1/2 height, 1 meter I cut into 4 pcs, can use on 4 window. Manpower: 2. Cover est 60-70% of the window. Don't want to cover all, as I want to see the sky(weather) outside. Can DIY, google youtube. I get my tips thru youtube DIY, don't expect... cut until very nice like pro but okay lar.. If you go to homefix, they has some nice one.. simi rose la, flower la. but one roll.. $20plus
  10. I never heard any bank willingly to loan 50k but at that time, I didn't CHECK ALL BANK. U can check ALL Bank if you want.
  11. Most bank request at least 100k. 50k.. u can check with HDB
  12. I bought my fridge, 2 TVs, hob , hood and WM there. What quality you referring? warranty is from the supplier not from the store.
  13. TS is talking about additional seller stamp duty. You are talking about the normal stamp duty. Apple to orange
  14. I thought you are referring to extra buyer stamp duty. For default stamp duty, it is standard regarding is HDB, resale, direct, private property, shop houses, etc.
  15. depend how much is your rental and how much you buy the property. True. And if you so unlucky , had a "tenant" who did a runner. more headache If you get a good tenant , treasure it. Now, still can get 5% yield? Did your friend tell you. Once you buy 2nd property , u will lost all government rebate.. like recently GST voucher. U will get zero. Nothing at all. No Medisave top up No cash No U-save for PUB And your present HDB town council fee will be higher too. Then from 2015, property tax for investment increase. Loan also lesses Need to pay buyer stamp duty. shorter loan term - cap at 65 yrs old. If you can't understand all these or find out these information by urself. and depend on mouth to mouth talk. Better don't move.
  16. I didn't say you ask for free service. As what I had post early. depend on individual town council whether is free or paid.
  17. depend on town council. Not all town council provide same extra service.
  18. That is only affecting PR Citizen don't have buyer stamp duty for resale. Unless you sell and buy, then you need to pay BSD first then rebate back.
  19. depend on location, is quotation not filled.. like PR, Chinese PR, race, etc...
  20. what stamp duty you referring? Buyer stamp duty? Resale HDB where has buyer stamp duty
  21. http://business.asiaone.com/news/property/johor-condo-delays-upset-spore-buyers Rachael Boon The Straits Times Wednesday, Jun 26, 2013 A GROUP of Singaporeans who bought units in a Johor Baru condominium have faced repeated construction delays, changes to the plans and confusing information about when the complex will be ready. The developer says some of the delays stem from labour shortages and problems sourcing materials. It also says some buyers did not fully understand the terms of the contract. Investors have asked about the completion date five times for the 602-unit KSL D'Esplanade Residence, only to be told it has been put back. One told The Straits Times that when he bought his RM750,000 (S$298,800) unit two years ago, the developer told him that the project was already 80 per cent complete. But in April this year, buyers were told that the development - it sits on top of KSL City Mall as part of a mixed-use development with a hotel - was still only 80 per cent complete and expected to be ready in July. KSL Holdings, a Malaysian company listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, is still marketing the condominium, and the average price is RM950 per sq ft. Unit sizes range from 1,267 sq ft to 2,023 sq ft. A spokesman for developer KSL Holdings told The Straits Times that the 80 per cent completion rate cited in 2011 referred to the lower floors and that "every floor has a different completion date". She noted that just like in Singapore, projects are given a five-year grace period for completion. "But projects first get three years unless you apply for an extension, which we did not plan for. If we had applied for the extension to five years, this year would have been the fifth year, and we'd be in time to complete the project." The firm said the sales and purchase agreement begins only on the date of purchase, not the day which construction started. That means every buyer's three-year duration started at a different date. It also means if the project is completed within three years of the sales and purchase agreement, there is little disgruntled buyers can do. The KSL spokesman noted that completing the project within three years would have been difficult given manpower issues over the past two years caused by government curbs on foreign labour. She said that the condo was completed last month, apart from glass installations that were affected by late supplies. When The Straits Times visited the site earlier this month, workers were installing the last glass panel and said the development is expected to be completed next month. But delays are not the only issue for the 10 or so Singaporean buyers who came together on an online forum. They claim they are being short-changed as the project now does not fully reflect the plans at time of purchase. The brochures said the hotel would have amenities including an 18-hole mini-golf course but last October, buyers found out it had been replaced by a water theme park. A Singaporean buyer who declined to be named said: "I did not buy the unit to stay next to a wonderland." The KSL spokesman said: "That area is not part of the residential area; it belongs to the hotel, and the hotel management has the right to change anything." The experience has left some fed-up buyers regretting they did not read the fine print more closely. The buyer warned: "Check the surveyor report and the clauses in the contract, and what is named in the brochure before you decide to purchase." rachaelb@sph.com.sg
