Hi, I would like to knock down a HDB bed room's wall to make the living room bigger.

a) I understand that I need to apply through HDB, but what are the chances?

b) Will it affect the valuation if I decide to sell in future?

c) Is it possible to rebuilt the wall conforming to HDB standards? If yes, how much roughly?

Thank you!

Mine was a 24 years old flat and rejected

The following renovation works do not comply with the current renovation guideline:

1. Reposition toilet entrance for commom bath/WC1, seal up existing entrance (mark blue on plan) and opening new entrance (mark red on plan).

Reason:

This is a prefabricated flat. Our Structural Engineer has advised that:

a) The existing reinforced concrete walls between BATH/WC 1 and kitchen/Dining are not allowed to be demolished or tampered with.

Thanks for the information.

I have yet to receive my keys yet, but can I check with HDB first?

If yes, can advise on who to contact?

Thanks!

usually the ID or contractor can submit the request for you.

its subject to approval, provided the change does not affect the structural integrity of the building.

hi just to check if i would like to cut a hole about 3ft by 3ft in one of the wall what are the chances of HDB approve?

and do i need to get a QP to view the process of hacking or cutting ?

b) Will it affect the valuation if I decide to sell in future?

YES

affect valuation is 1 thing.

By knocking down 1 room. It will restrict the buyer pool.

Unless the buyer want a bigger living with 1 room less

or

The buyer willingly to spend extra $$ to re-create the room back
