Maz0608 3rd Gear February 25, 2011 Share February 25, 2011 If u compare the size of new flats to old ones...the size is getting smaller but price...getting "bigger"...is it a hint from the gahmen not to have too big a family or dun stay with your parents or just want to cut cost and earn more... about 20yrs ago a 5-room is about 120-140 sq..now about 110...if u want bigger go for executive flat which of coz cost more... Adding rooms on your own...save the trouble...extra cost, reduce space and the house even more cramp... That fark too good life...share room with 1 brother still KPKB...ok mah...need to PCC after watching porn? Wrong! Need to PCC while watching porn.

Joseph22 Turbocharged February 25, 2011 Share February 25, 2011 Ah finally, someone know what i am talking abourt If different gender, then you get that case that was reported in TNP a while back - brother watch porn then instead of "talking" to Mrs. Palmer talked to his little sister. :angry: There are a limited number of jumber flats in the north - but I don't want to think about the cost. I have brought the issue up to local MP, and my thoughts are that HDB should more closely correlate their pricing to family income level. To get a house big enough for four bedrooms I would had to think about the cost. I know that when got our place in 2005 the pricing went like this 90 SQM 4 room = $150k 110 SQM 5 room = $210k 130 SQM Exec = $330K You do the math, between 4 and 5 room, extra 20 sqm is $60k. Between 5 room and exec the same extra 20 sqm is $120k So in today's market, if I wanted to have 2 girls, a boy and grandma plus my wife and I in a 130 -140 sqm (which is actually small for this size family) how much am I going to be paying? Currently have two kids, I am happy with two and will be stopping here. A third has crossed our thoughts, but one of the big mitigating factors is: where would we put it? Grandma is now 65 - so she will probably still be around at least until the kids are teens - three kids in one HDB size bedroom, not very realistic right? (two can manage ok if same sex) and this is putting aside the thought of having mixed sexes. Would I be able to afford a house big enough to fit the whole family if I had a third? Really dunno, and dunno if I would WANT to - guessing that to do so I would be paying somewhere in the $600-700k range (IF I was lucky enough to get from HDB, if private, it's going to be over a million I would think). Do I want to go from a $800 per month mortgage to a $2k mortgage? I don't think so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph22 Turbocharged February 25, 2011 Share February 25, 2011 I been inside 2 of these already lor, one belong to my friend's family, one my relative. Both in different part of AMK. Basically is 2x3rm flat with the common wall knock down. Then one of the Kitchen can convert into a mega Masterbedroom. Shiok ah, 3 masterbedrooms+2 common rooms+total 4 toilets. Most important is 1 owner. the problem arise when they decide to en bloc your home. new flat cannot jambo liao. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfenstar 3rd Gear February 25, 2011 Share February 25, 2011 OK...I am working now, so no time for full and detailed research, but here is one quick cite... "The Canadian Crowding Index holds that a house is overcrowded if it has insufficient bedrooms according the Canadian National Occupancy Standard. The Standard states that no more than two people should share a room. Those who may share a room are couples, children under the age of 18 of the same gender, and children under the age of 5. A child aged between 6 and 17 should not share with a child under the age of 5." * side note - I am not Canadian, this is just one site that popped up early on my google search. Our rules are quite simple... The maximum number of subtenants allowed in each flat is: Flat Type Total Number of Occupants 1-room and 2-room 4 persons 3-room 6 persons 4-room and bigger 9 persons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike1234 1st Gear February 25, 2011 Share February 25, 2011 IMO, new hdb flats are suitable for the younger generations... I have friends whom got married, have two kids, happily ever after... While the older generations (like my family) tend to be quite cramped Currently, i'm living wif my parents, and my 3other siblings (total :6)@ Executive apartment While my uncle, my cousin's family staying (total: 5 adults, 2 young kids) @ 4-rm flat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elfenstar 3rd Gear February 25, 2011 Share February 25, 2011 reject to knock down the wall. buy corridor also cannot since that its belong to 2 separate entities if i am not wrong. yeah, ask my neighbour liao. they dont want to sell Yes you can jointly RENT common areas.

Elfenstar 3rd Gear February 25, 2011 Share February 25, 2011 yeah. if the option is available of couse good. but will likely be rejected by town council when you submit the floor plan. Nope you can get two 3 rooms (max unit size- as long as the combos involve 1, 2, and 3 room flats) that are next to each other under the conversion scheme. A passage between both units must be had, and it will be considered to be one unit. The catch is that they cannot be sold separately again, and it will be called a multi-generation flat (aka jumbo flat). MOP will be tied to the 2nd unit. Also you can buy under this scheme for BTO flats too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfenstar 3rd Gear February 25, 2011 Share February 25, 2011 last time can. now cannot got friend tried liao Are both units under his name??? For e.g. if one unit is his and the other his parents he cant. In order to do it, he will have to buy over his parents flat. Are both units 3 room flats or smaller??? If no then cannot liao.

Elfenstar 3rd Gear February 25, 2011 Share February 25, 2011 Most likely is allowed, but must reinstate at own cost before either unit can be sold. Unless done illegally (i.e. two different owners), then you are right. Otherwise they cannot be separated once converted to a multi-generation flat.

Ben5266 Supercharged February 25, 2011 Share February 25, 2011 Long long time ago, the govt asked the people to stop at 1. Ok 2 at max. So the HDB is perfectly positioned for family with father, mother, brother and sister. Then not too long ago, the govt started to ask people to have 3rd or even 4th child. But..but... HDB bo cho kang. Forgot to review the new need. Still continue to build HDB with 3 bedroom.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
