Resale Flat Renovation in Singapore
Older flats hide their costs in the things you cannot see: wiring, waterproofing, screed.
The checks a resale needs that a BTO does not
A resale flat should be checked for wiring age and capacity, waterproofing condition in the wet areas, screed and tile hollowness, and window condition before the design is finalised.
Rewiring is a scope decision, not an upsell
Older flats were wired for a different electrical load than a modern home puts on them. Whether a full rewire is needed is a question about the existing distribution board and circuit count, and it should be answered on site.
Overlay or hack
Overlaying tiles avoids the cost, debris and permit exposure of hacking, but it raises floor level and depends on the condition of what is underneath. It is a condition-dependent decision, not a style one.
What HDB requires
Under the Housing and Development (Renovation Control) Rules, an HDB flat owner must engage a contractor listed in HDB's Directory of Renovation Contractors; contravention is an offence carrying a fine not exceeding S$5,000.
