Our new nest settled

On the first viewing on 13 May, we came to know that the owner is asking for 45K COV on top of the val 414K
We are not willing to pay that much basing on the house condition.
Major renovation will be needed.
So we went on to view other units, not to our liking.
We still like this one most.
So we went for the 2nd viewing ytd, we neg with the owners etc.. Actually not me, mostly done by Mr Tay and the agent.
We came to a conclusion of 31K cov.
We paid a $1K deposit, waiting for 4of Jun to excerise the option to purchase.
Reason being the owner request to move out only in mid of Nov. We agreed to that so first appt for this new place will only be in Sep12.
Hope to start reno ASAP when we take over the place and hope we can move in by end of 2012, celebrate Xmas, New Year count down! haha...

Oh btw, above picture show the view taken at the corridor of the unit. It is a skyline view! As the area is close to Changi Airport, all the flats and condo around the area are all quite short, given 9th floor or 10th floor the highest. So thus we got the view!

If u r wondering where is Blk 362, Tampines Street 34 here is the map:

It is actually about 5 min walk to Tampines Mart! There are Watson, Guardian, Shop and Save, Mac, Pizza hut, KFC, 1 Food Court, 1 Coffee shop and a Wet Market there!!
