Alim 1st Gear January 4, 2010 Share January 4, 2010 (edited) My friend was house hunting in Bishan and showed me pics of this awesome looking 4-rm HDB in Bishan, asking for $100k nett Cash Over Valuation (COV). How much are you willing to pay for this? FYI...all high end fittings, TV, furnitures etc included.

Hub_n_mona 1st Gear January 4, 2010 Share January 4, 2010 nice, but I would also ask what's the valuation in the first place..the person doing the valuation might already have factored in the reno? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alim 1st Gear January 4, 2010 Author Share January 4, 2010 As far as I know, HDB valuation is based on amenities and location of the flat. So it shd be the same valuation as a normal flat in the same block bah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alim 1st Gear January 4, 2010 Author Share January 4, 2010 I saw on the web it is $585k neg., my friend told me the owner will not settle for anything less than $100k COV, so it is $560k. Link for reference: iProperty Listing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamstart 1st Gear January 4, 2010 Share January 4, 2010 The reno is nice and I think the owner paid more than 100K. I ever come acrossed a so-called designer deco, ask more than 100K. really damn nice. Imagine asking for 100k cash (COV), where to get man, loan??

Stary Turbocharged January 4, 2010 Share January 4, 2010 I saw on the web it is $585k neg., my friend told me the owner will not settle for anything less than $100k COV, so it is $560k. Link for reference: iProperty Listing Strange..how come 4-room HDB only 2 bedrooms?? But 1080 sqfeet is quite big for a 4-room HDB 100K a bit high. The reno I think is around 50K. The furnitures plus TVs at most 15K unless they are all super high end type. But valuation price should have factor in the reno already. Otherwise what's the point of valuation right?

Wish1719 1st Gear January 4, 2010 Share January 4, 2010 actually i would rather see the place personnally before deciding the COV i willing to pay. cos pictures sometimes (most of the time) are deceving... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porker Turbocharged January 4, 2010 Share January 4, 2010 Doesn't look high end to me. Its the typical design you get from the thousands of ID firms in Singapore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vextan 1st Gear January 4, 2010 Share January 4, 2010 so nice, i wonder how much did the owner spend on the renovation and furnishing ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining Neutral Newbie January 4, 2010 Share January 4, 2010 for me, it depends on location as in which part of bishan? nxt to junction 8? or at catholic high ? and which floor? but 100 grand is too steep personally... assumingly location is superb plus high floor... i reackon if seller ask COV 50-60 grand people will snap it up in no time... if 100grand... must wait ..long....long... this is discounting carrot heads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, the owner paid $200k (Hear say) but I was told from AC to all fittings branded wor. Probably those people with excess money and already staying in condo and want to maximise govt benefit will buy lor. May be weekend getaway with mistress.

Alfc 5th Gear January 4, 2010 Share January 4, 2010 Need to view the real thing to evaluate but personally will not pay anything more than $50k cos renovation is subjective. Some i see like to build partition here and there, end up impractical as not much storage space. Also these days a lot of reno stuff nice to see only as underying material is all chipboard with lamination only. Hence not difficult to create the "condo" feel. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
