    Hi Rani,
    we are not able to send PM to ur ID as you have not finished your 50 posts I believe. So could you please send me your friend's agent's number as my cousin is also hunting for a house? Thanks.

    Re: need some information

    thanks a lot laxman.u really did a hard work for us

    HDB (housing development board)-these apartments are government apartments and Condos r private apartments with aminities like swimming pool and gym etc....and may be private security system also.

    Condos r bit expensive as compared to HDB.

    so we were searching for HDB and its not an easy task to search for a house.
    we searched in the THE STRAIGHT TIMES newpaper(col.- 422)particularly for HDB.
    and on some internet sites also .

    here in singapore we experienced that if we like any apartment ,on the spot we should give the token money other wise we can loose that apartment,here no agent/houseowner will wait for u to think whether u want it for rent or not.
