        It’s a new lifestyle we’ve always wanted.

        It’s cheap and ‘clean’ (my bro went to vet it liao).

                the new hdb rules state that if it’s a new hdb flat, one needs to complete a min. 5 year occupancy before you could lease the whole unit out. for resale hdb, a min of 3 year occupancy before the whole unit could be leased out.


                this was told to me by our usual agent, dunno if this is true or not. but i think that’s why DH told me too.

                    Check the HDB policies here:
                    http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10206p.nsf/WPDis/Subletting%20Your%20Flat%20/%20RoomPolicies%20-%20Subletting%20of%20Whole%20Flat?OpenDocument&SubMenu=Policies

                    You need approval from HDB, apply for Stamp Duty, and you will need to pay much more property tax.

                      I previously engaged the services of Highpoint Movers. Their rates are reasonable and more importantly, they have excellent work attitude and did a great and professional job. They also provide boxes. You may want to consider them.

                        Sorry if these questions sound silly, better ask here than to sound too amaturish when we contact the movers. :oops: :oops: :oops:


                        If we engage movers,
                        1) What is the main determinant of their price quotation? # of boxes? Location? # of workers?
                        2) Do they provide dismantle and assembly service?
                        3) If yes to Q2, is it an extra charge on those services?
                        4) If yes to Q3, what happens if they dismantle then cannot assemble back?
                        5) For items that need our pre-packing (i.e. food from the fridge, clothes), they give us boxes in advance izzit? or these they also pack for us?

                        :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
