Hi all,

I m getting my house keys very soon. Need to hear all the experience owner buying resale flat.

May I know how does the reno contractor apply for the permit to major reno at my new house?

What documents must I give him a copy of my NRIC? Any kind soul people here to advise me. 

Thank you.

As I recall I didn't really give my contractor anything, besides the house address and when hacking can start. Why don't you ask him?

Don't think you need to as I did not as well. The reno permit doesn't even appear on my HDB  portal page but it was printed out by contractor and paste on the lift landing, inside the lift and outside my new house. Even application for reno indemnity form (allowing me to apply for reno permit prior to completion of sale), the housing agents refused to provide NRIC of the sellers as it is not required. At most I just gave the contractor the front page of the OTP.
