Assalamualaikum
Renovating a house will never be a piece of cake. NEVER! Unless you have a fortune of money to splurge on hiring an interior designer like meridien. They will do all the works for you. All you have to do is just advise them on the concept that you want.
As for me and hubby, it doesn't go that way.
We bought our house in late 2010 (6 months after we bertunang) through an agent. Bear in mind that if you're considering to get an agent, you've to pay him/her 1% of the housing price. Reapfield is one of the trusted props agent that you can count on to.
We've been house hunting for at least 4 5 months before we eventually found this sekangkang kera house that match our budget.
The S&P of the house took almost a year starting Jan 2011. We are getting married at that time and expecting to occupy the house somewhere in June 2011 (just after our nuptial), but alas the S&P process is not done on the expecting time-frame.
Why does it took so long? Because the first owner is a Singaporean (Oh, forgot to tell that we are buying a secondary house) and it's very difficult to get him to sign off the concession. This is where the agents are for. He has done a very good job by hammer out a deal with the Singaporean for us to occupy the house despite the S&P hasn't accomplished yet.
Guess what? We've been staying 6 months for free before we start to pay the installment.
Even though this is a second-hand house, but the condition is still like new. No traces of nail holes at all. No water leaking. Paint is still there and not yet faded. No scribbles or scratch on the wall.
So, here we are, after almost 3 years living in the basic designed house, we've finally made up to do a minor renovation.
