- YES!!! Bin & I are proud owners of the flat in Blk 149. Actually the decision stage was kinda difficult for us…invloving comments from both side of the family as well as $$ issues…but im happy that after viewing 21 units, we finally settled for 1 which both of us like and location good and $$ still manageable.

Location is good. walking distance to mrt, northpoint & chongpang. And near to Bin house oso. Bin go work oso fang bian cos 969 bus stop downstairs nia. Valued at 200k onli….so low i think is because the reno realli very original…..anywae, both me n Bin like it quite alot. But owner asking for 15k!!! After nego and discussing, we decided that maximum we can offer is 10k above valuation. My reason is cos i look at the whole figure. 210k for that location is worth it. Will have a second viewing again with parents to see how.

Comments: Likey~~ will wait for 2nd viewing c how. Hope i can get this unit.

The shape very funni de. the kitched protude into the living room and worse still…..living room and 1 of the rooms sure will kena the 夕照. Anyway its valued at 200k but owner asking for 240k…i seriously dun think he will be able to sell off at dat price.

Comments: When we saw the direction and know about the 夕照, both me n bin were sian 1/2. We even just stood in the living room and watch the TV program (There were other groups of viewers as well)

Furnitures are all moved away liao. Cheap valued at 238k and the agent hinted can go 12k below valuation.

Comments: REALLI very “original”. i dun mind dat but the BF hates the low level as usual so its a no-no.

Chinese owner 7th floor corner. 5 Room.The flat is fully renovated. Basically a move-in condition. Valued at 283k. Asked our agent to check what is the last offer cos the BF like it very much. Apparently someone offered 50k above valuation.

Not bad, well kept clean but the shape abit wierd and i absolutely dun like the toilet in the MBR to be within the room. Prefer it to be out of the building type.

Chinese owner, 4th floor, 5-room corner
Owner is an architect and the house is realli renovated til very nice…..you can basically buy n live in it liao. somemore its wat u see is wat u get. ALL furniture and appliances given. room very big with built-in wardrobe and king size bed. The house is valued at 275k and someone offers 295k but owner still not willing to let go….

Comments: 5 room is not within our means and frankly speaking i think if i buy a lok kok house i can do up those kind of reno as well.

Location so so but they bought the recess area and the flat is fully renovated. hmm not our cup of tea though and 1 thing damn funni. The house only the sofa n a small table in the kitchen is movable. Rest of the furnitures are ALL built-in.

Fits my requirements of near MRT, high floor, corner with minimal renovations. Its even better that there are only 4 units on the floor and all are chinese. House shape is just like my exisiting house. Its valued at 224k and someone has already offeref 7k above valuation. i personally like it alot but papa say the house will kena sunlight from the east.

Comments: After discussion with bin, we decided to give it a miss.
