Help, Loanshark Splash Paint Last Mth
chronograph replied to catseyes2004sg's topic in Housing Rules, Policies and Procedures
Yes, u did the right thing. On this, agent cannot help. Police can especially now when they are hunting down illegal $$ lending. I think u will have a few months of harrassment at least unless police can nail the loansharks, usually runners. -

I suggest you discuss with the carpenter, you all are victims. Look for win win situation, what the carpenter wants is to be paid, $$$. If he cannot get it do u think changing the lock will help, telling the police will help? Can the police guard your house 24/7? Jailing them will help? How to stop them when there is nothing happened, only when things happened will the police come in. How about 50% ~ 70%? Each party absorbs some damaged. Someone house newly done floor tiles just got hacked because AH SOO didn;t pay him. -

Took me quite a while read all posting from August. It is really sad to see this happening and all owner blood $$ have gone down the drain. I agreed with some members here, rally and go to the police. Good luck. -
Everything is expensive. Just pick a few, item 1- ID charging you 650 pfr, my god, contractor the most half the price or around 400 plus range. Install ceiling light, ID supply per light 350, installation only about $8 to $15, meaning your light is about $330 plus, have u see the light and does it really worth that much? Same for item 11 to 12. Item 13, WI gate supply install only 500 plus. I think it is your location, your ID see your one big carrot. If u like the design, can u buy their design and get contractor to do it?

A quicker way to know how much you incurred on your electricity bill is : On your last month bill, it will show the readings taken or estimated. Then check the reading of your meter, the difference of the 2 will be the consumption to date, multiply by 0.2321 will give u up to date electricity charges in $. (Current rate is $0.2321/kw.) If this $ is way above your monthly electricity component then u r in trouble. $50 per month as agreed with your tenant: 50/0.2321 = 215.42 kw

How Did You Pay Cov
chronograph replied to berry_surprise's topic in HDB New/Resale Flats, Executive Condominiums
I tot remaining COV is by cash order and it is pay during 2nd appt. At least it is the case for me. -
GST is collected by the gov, make sure that the company the agent is representing issue a invoice with GST component in it. If u r daring u can choose not to pay, i wonder if the gov will come chasing after u. Anyone has any experience? Want to share?

Still within $900, even with 2 toilets and kitchen floor area cause your is a 3I. U can do your math. -
Forget about it. One year later paint will come off, happens to mine. Better to replace new one. My contractor did mentioned to me that WI gate paint is treated, there is a layer of protective coating.

U can ask your contractor to waive off kitchen cabinet and wardrobes if u r doing new ones from him. -
Hacking And Dismantling Costs For Whole House
chronograph replied to spearhawk's topic in RENOVATION WORKS
You mentioned it is only 900 which is reasonable. In fact 49ft hacking is not alot. Hacking fee range from $1.5 to $3 psf, so 49ft by 8ft (height to ceiling, newer house should be lower than 8ft) = 392 sf which gives u a hacking fee from $588 to $1176. -

Nicely done up, but like u said good price why not. I like your open concept staircase, nice. But kind of worrying when young children are around. -
