Sorry, can't tell you that...... I've not negotiated it yet

Anyway, quite old but the surroundings are nice and the condition is not so bad, just needs some work. We have a relatively good choice for condo units at or less than 3k around here, 2br/1000sqft.

It'll be some shitty place that's being sold for en-bloc and he'll be forced to move out before the lease is finished. I have a bridge for sale as well.

I just did the same search (actually 2-3k) and I'm rather shocked. There are placed I'd consider here. I don't find Woodlands too terrible, but then I do work at YCK Road, so it's not a bad commute

That's my thought. I'm either going to buy after this lease, or move to a condo in Ulu Ulu to save a bit on the lease. As long as I can walk to a Starbucks (Woodlands can la! yishun also can) then I'm set.

I'm neither a fool or a slob and your insinuation of one or both is rather insulting. Don't pretend to know everything since you've clearly come out and proved otherwise.
~$3k can get a reasonable quality condo, a fair size, all the facilities, underground parking, security (well......., what passes as security here), close to transport links and maybe just around 30-min from the CBD, Airport and even Malaysia.
