House belonged to an old lady & her daughter…it was quite old but the deal was quite good…the owner backed out last minute…didn’t want to sell…

A housing agent wanted to sell her own house…simple renovation…but asked for high price…

Flat @ next block…16th floor…husband liked it…I dun…due to the flooring…

14th floor unit…the place was in a mess…& very dusty…we were willing to negotiate…but last minute owner don’t want to sell…

A unit above my current place…we offered a price…but they asked for a higher price…

House @ 20th floor…owner claimed the place was well done-up…but actually it was quite old & dusty…we were 2 minutes late…someone offered before us…

“The One”…very nicely renovated…! We love it…& bought it…hahaa…finally…!
