Hi care to post your floorplan, maybe then we can contribute n provide my opinion n suggestions for ur considerations....Between it will be good on ur part to also brainstorm the following for ur purpose n benefits:

1. Budget

2. Priority in Renovation works

3. Time frame and schedule for renovation

4. Concept n Theme of renovation including: colour scheme, general material to be used etc

5. Transitional arrangement for household - ie where will you live during reno period n other such arrangement.

Hope the above helps.

Updating progress here, oso keep thread alive.

So happy, this saturday is the last day for the previous owner to shift out. I have charged them 1k for 2 weeks rental previously. If they wanna extend oso i dun mind..hehe..

Bz studying for my exam now..no mood to think about house.

wahaha, never had they imagine a day they'll need to 'rent' their own house,but still cheaper then hotel sia,should charge more ma. earn back the cov.haha. if they stay another mth you can buy Brunswick tables without feeling any pinch liao. haha.

Hmm.. I believe the agent start counting the 1mth FOC extension from 9/10 bah. That's why till the dates to charge will end on 22/11 (Sat). If extend another 2 wks, then their last day at the place should be 6Dec.

Don't be too soft. After all, u r the owner of the place liao. Agent is agent. U should have the final say. Maybe u can inconvenient them by bringing contractors up to the place to take measurements etc, even thou u r not gg to renovate so soon. haha Then they may feel paiseh and faster shift.

Is your agent serving you as the the buyer to this EM (as the new Owner) as well as the Seller of the EM? If yes theres conflict of interest and he may be takinbg side to the seller... as such, you may wan to be tougher... insist ur way on being reasonable on it... and since you are paying the agent, let him work it work and fight for you....

Dont get too soft and give way... after all you pay.. they recieve - Both of them...

THe agent is the buyer's agent...not mine. Both are malay uncles, old enough to be my father. From the way they talk & act to each other i tink both of them are friends.

Dats the reason y agent cannot get both sides' commission. He sided the seller more than me...

Anyway i will calculate the num of days from the day after 2nd appt. Based on 31 days month.

Based on 31 days? I heard from my agent that it's usually on 30 days. Hehehe.. Not sure if it's true la, but u may wana consider. After all, Nov has only 30 days.

Angel81 etc,

I find that it might save you an appointment if you make your first meeting with your contractor/ID at your new place, so that you can straightaway show them what you want. Otherwise if first meeting meet them at office, still have to go your place see, then meet then again get quotation etc etc...like that each contractor/ID meet min 3 times can die...

Still waiting to finalise quotes...all in 50+k range cos I taking down everything...

I do not know wen previous owner is leaving..

dat time after 2nd appointment..say will try leave less than 1mth after 2nd appt..then took 1month..ask 4 2 weeks extension which i charged. Now another 2 weeks...same rental rate.dunno another 2 weeks will extend again or not.

Lucky I dont need the house urgently..if not i would have chase them out of the house.
