numb 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2007 After 17 visits over several weekends and weekdaysOn May Day, we have finally found a place of our own...Everything is done up nicely by the current owner...Everything from the deco and the layout was what we could wanted if we had a bare place to reno with.And it's on the top floor... so machim like Pent-house...The view is so shiok...But all this doesn't come cheap, of course...First time in my life i spent such a huge amount of money...Money in term of ten thousands of dollars , and i didn't even bat a eyelid...Haha...Hopefully all the paperwork can be done up soon...So now is time to look out for new furnitures... Hopefully i can start posting some picture to share with everybody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lifestyle 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2007 Hi numbCongrats on your new place. Look forward to your pics.We also got the place we wanted having waited so long so not many want to sell in that location cos of the nice view. We are starting the reno soon as the place is very old & run down (unlike yours).Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

numb 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2007 So long never update my T blog liao...so fast, mon is my first appointment at HDB le...So calling out to all the experienced buyers here...Any advice? What can i look out for?i heard that if the seller could let me reno the flat before the 2nd appt, the seller must sign some form is it? Anybody have any experience?

eR1c 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2007 i heard that if the seller could let me reno the flat before the 2nd appt, the seller must sign some form is it? Anybody have any experience? Can fill me in on more details??Would be grateful if anybody can give me some guidance...Thanks a lot...If the seller is not occupying the house, he can let u renovate the house before the 2nd appt and only after the first appt is approved in principal. ie. When u received the letter from HDB that informed u that the resales is approved in principal. The letter will normally be send to u around 3-4 working days.After this both the seller and buyer have to sign the indemnity form. This is to indemnified the seller of any problems arising from the renovation and the buyer will take full responsibility. Also the buyer has to sign a letter of undertaking for early possession to take the keys from the seller. Ur renovator will also help u submit the application for renovation, which the seller need to sign. Photocopy of both side of the IC of both the seller and the buyer is also required. The seller and the buyer need to sign on the photocopy of IC also.Ask ur property agent to help u run thru the require paperworks. Also let ur renovator knows, he will advise u of the forms required.Hope this is of some help. !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eR1c 0 Report post Posted July 21, 2007 oh ya, u also need to apply for the power supply too. They will went down to the place to read the meter after ur application (my agent applied for me and i just need to fax back certain form and my I/C) and anything before the reading is the seller's, and anything after that is the buyer's.
