beg to differ here although its prudent to exercise restraint in such economic landscape.. the recess area is not a big commitment, it is what you plan to do with the space that will be the additional costs that need serious consideration..

additional space will add value to the house and in my view, if the recess area is sizeable.. it adds very good values.. especially if valuation is more affordable now..

just my 2cents..

mm That's why I requested for the cost. The cost and stamp fees are payable by CPF so that's ok for me. I guess no reno if we can't afford at the moment and we'll just put a gate. Then other things can come later...

yap . . . if jus for "junk" might not worth buying it . . . if your item keep missing i rather install a CCTV for monitoring.

Actually also depend on the size. But once it become part of your house, don think u will wan to put junk there right?

100sqf? got pic to show?

If it's really ex and way out of my budget I'll hold off buying at the moment.

got the letter from HDB? Think your recess should be around 10sqm and would roughly cost about $2k. The survey and inspection fees are the most costly. Nv even see them come around to survey or inspect. Other cost involved would be to shift cable box, electrical box, etc

haha I say it's junk la but it's not la. It's just things like bicycle, plants, and our slippers all that which we have no place to put and I can't bear for my dad to put the bicycle on my newly laid tiles... He's been diligently placing some rubber mats under it but it's just not sightly to have a dirty bike in the house...
