Yonglip bro, your water heater is instant or storage tank? I used to storage heater, and hoping to keep it that way. Also, anyone know if the bathrooms for existing HH homes can accomodate these storage heaters without needing to hack entire bathrooms down? Also, your budget for water...

Lol, was about to point that out. Just to add on to the point that moving there is a choice based on more factors (especially the space factor) than simply whether one is rich enough to not have to go there to buy a GCB-equivalent, on my way in yesterday morning, there was a convoy of...

Good reasoning there. Everybody's idea and expectation of a weekend home is different, and what your's is will tell you whether you want to pay the premium. Thanks for the warning on car-related crime. I think I really need to up my vigilance as well. And today on day 3 of CNY, grass cutters...

Ironically enough, my perception, and it is far from being mine alone is that what has actually been holding back SG/MY relations over the past 30 years is not one, but two old men. And the recent retreat of both the old men from active policy making (to various degrees) has in fact facilitated...

Thanks for well-wishes all. Looks like I can only really even start to think of reno in the second week of CNY since eveything there is closed for week one. I have a contractor in mind, recommended by my Singapore one whom I trust 100%. I see how that works out before recommending or not...

I think the discussion about Greens pricing pertains more to purchasing from an investment perspective. For you and I, buying for own stay, doesn't really matter if we can't sell it for a profit in the near future, or even if prices tumble. We are buying to be relaxed and comfortable, that is...

According to bro trithl's earlier post, House price 600k + Stamp Duty = 13k + Interest 25-30k (assuming complete in 2 and half years) + Foreign levy = 13k Upfront cost is 660k. Agree it's not really compelling for a 22x75. Waiting to see how well the launch really goes.

Yep, good analyses and opinions all round from various contributors. Like arses, we all have one. :) I am not sure about the group being lost forever part. Speculators have incredibly short memories. Investors have long memories. And the speculative dollar always outspends the investing dollar...

It could not cater to the categorization of queries and topics before you granted it a special folder status, which happens to have been when I created it. Of course, it had already been created and paid for, so my options were to keep at it for a while more, or simply let it go.

Believe it or not, this wannabe actually was going to thank you, but he was too caught up, umm crafting his words, so he inadvertently clicked on post before adding the words of thanks. So here goes, big thanks for what you put in to keep this forum going for the benefit of all its members and...

The rules are designed to keep out commercial posters. You are making various assumptions that could not possibly be upheld. You did not notice that I had in fact linked Sammyboy and Wuqi back as a recognition of it's status the the go-to place for information for information on this very...

Hush yonglip bro, I'm in the process of putting my own unit up for sale, don't want you giving them strange ideas as to how much they should or shouldn't pay for it lol. I see your point. Fact of the matter is, as far as property goes, or any other asset class for that matter, any objective...

Ummm, seriously? I barely just bought my unit, but I will cash out instantly if so lol. That kind of price is absolutely absurd.

Done and dusted! Deal closed at lawyer's office today! Very happy with the outcome. Looking forward to key collection and the big move now. :) BTW, I always assumed that I would move on the MM2H programme, but upon closer examination, it does not appear to be of substantial benefit to me...

Hi Guys, in need or some urgent help with regards purchasing my resale property in HH. An issue seems to have cropped up. Appreciate it if anyone with recent experience in such a pruchase could PM me, or provide me a mobile no to call for consultation. I could provide mine via PM as well...

Thanks! Really looking forward to the tennis, haven't played for a while.

Nope, developer was my first point of contact when looking for a property in HH. Unless someone has some special kang tao that I don't have, there are no balance clusters or terraces for sale in Gateway or Golf. Anything on the market now for these 2 types is strictly resale.

They make money on the interest. :) The longer you keep on paying, the happier they will be

It should work the same, attractive loan packages lock the borrower in for a certain period, with penalties or clawback of certain incentives (if any) should borrower redeem in part or in full. Varies from loan package to loan package.

Sounds like my wife, lol. Maybe I should do same with my wife. Anyway we are thinking of checking out various childcare/nursery/enrichment facilities there. LG: What I mean is that going to HH is very fast using the coastal highway if driving, but driving back to SG was a much longer drive...
