Hi all, I live in LF and am considering to invest in a solar power system for my house and sell the unused energy back to TNB. I know the costs and ROI etc but was wondering if anyone had any useful experience / recommendations for company's who are providing this type of equipment as I would...

Thanks for the useful advice folks. Has anyone had any problems making two moves to the same property? What I mean by this is that as we have a lot of stuff and we are not ready to fully relocate yet so we might shift some stuff that we don't need in SG to free up space in our house and ship the...

One a slightly different topic, we will be moving to our new house in LF soon and I am starting to think about a moving company that is reputable and good as well as any issues relating to customs. We have a lot of electronics items (84" TV, 52" TV, computers, 27" screens for Macs, and pretty...

Dont know what all the fuss is about, if you break the law and get caught what do you expect, just pay the fine and stop whining (not you, but people on FB account:) !!!!

Well thats where we differ, I am in no rush to move in and quality is a higher priority to me than delaying a few months to get it right. There is a saying "the sweetness of low cost is forgotten long after the bitterness of low quality remains". Dont get me wrong, I am not obstinate or...

That doesn't mean I should just lie back and accept sub standard work. I am a contract engineer so I understand all to well that standards vary throughout the world. However there are clauses and statements within the SPA which (despite Malaysian standards) force the developer to ensure a...

We are on our 3rd round of defect list. Some defects caused while they fixed the original ones!!, we hope to have final handover next week (well that's the plan). We had a couple of leaks and a few disappointment issues which I just nagged the developer about in order for them to fix it and...

Re: Need some design advice on grills. Can anyone recommend a good provider for curtains and blinds? Cheers

I had my handover last week....peppered the house with little pink stickers of things they need to fix. To be honest if they had spent some time cleaning the place thoroughly beforehand then there wouldn't be has as many snag points. Only got 3-4 semi serious issues they they have to sort out...

Hi all, I am starting the reno work and some of the items I want to install (electrical good for instance) are not easy to find in Malaysia but I can find in Singapore. If I have them delivered from the supplier to my new place in JB, what is the tax situation? Thanks PS - I know warranty...

Thanks, spent 6 months reno'ing my place in SG, so got some experience and expectation already under my belt :)

Thanks Legoland, that is what I am talking about. Although still seems a strange practice, when I have had reno work or moving house etc. done in Singapore the contractor always pays the deposit to the management. Then they have a vested interest to be careful and not cause any damage to the...

On a slightly different topic, I am ready to start Reno in November and the contractor has asked me to pay the deposit to LF for the contractor works, which I said no as I should not have to cover the contractor risk in case he damages anything. He replied saying normal practice here. Anyone...

I think you might find this is not quite so straightforward. The Purchaser has entered into a contract with the Developer. If you, as the Purchaser, fail to honour the terms of the contract then you as the Purchaser will be deemed to have breached the contract. It doesn't matter what the bank or...

Babyface: We encountered the exact same situation a few weeks ago. Problem between the lawyer and our bank and then out of the blue we got a late payment penalty. Suffice to say I went to into orbit with the bank as we are the poor helpless saps who have to foot the bill purely through no fault...

After years of waiting (literally haha) we have our handover date next Friday. Then another 6 months of reno work hahaha.....will get in one day!!

I did an inspection last week (before handover) and left a list of things for the developer to fix before we do the handover. Nothing too serious but had a huge leak in one of the bedrooms which didn't fill me with confidence, but they will sort out out before the handover. Also made sure they...

Yeah it certainly is, I was there yesterday with our ID starting to plan the work for the renovations towards the end of the year. Certainly we will not know what the service prices are for another 4.5 years I think haha....anyway the way the tit-for-tat toll charges are going it will soon be...

No idea I'm afraid as we got 60 months free charges as part of our purchase :)

Yep, couldn't agree more with what you say about Akmal, he certainly goes above and beyond the call of the job to satisfy the buyers / owners. Well its not wildly out, but I will not be buying furniture or remodelling the house using just the plans. It does make me wonder what they were using...
