Great choice of having Macrom as your renovator, Loo. He had renovated for me many years ago, and to say, it's not going to be a job done and forget job. Importantly, he will be there when you need him. The after sale is important! He helped so much in taking care of my property in JB during the 2 years of MCO period, saving me some sleepless nights. Well done!
I'm facing that right now. But for me, I knew that issue way before getting the house but as you know, the min for landed housing for foreigners is RM1 million and my case was 1.5yrs ago. There are no houses prices at just RM1 million but way more. And for that, they are usually 3 stories high and at least 5 bedrooms or more. I managed to find one that is only 4 bedrooms and just 2 stories. But yes, depending on how fastidious one is, I spent most of my weekends cleaning the house. LOL....
@@marktan8074 Isnt that the irony of life. I know of rich couple who built big good class bungalow to live with their kids. When the kids grew up, got married and moved out, they feel so lonely with all the spaces and ended up selling the big bungalow and moved to an apartment.
Mr. Loo, l bought a new landed property in Malaysia. There is not much renovation to do, as everything is brand new and fresh. There is no need to change wiring, titles, lightning, etc.
Real parquet wood flooring are known to be very durable. my first 4room master bedroom had it and it was a resale I was second/3rd owner so it's been almost decades. I only did polishing before move in and it lasted me 8yrs before I sold. Totally enjoyed the "cool" solid feel!
There's also usually 2 taps that get direct supply from the mains. They are usually located in the kitchen. You'd know since the water pressure is markedly different from the rest of the house.
From your videos, seems you had travel much everywhere, but most Singaporeans don't have the luxury to own a semi d or bungalow there. Great to do what you want if you can. Don't mind others. Live your life 😊as long as you are happy with it.
How come it seems like u are building from scratch? Tot u bought from developer is ready to move in or at least just do interior design ...I can see bare concrete & window are not there?
The addition on the 2nd floor, the side fronting the street is quite plain. The small window on the left and large window on the right may look as the front facade of the home.
Thank goodness I can avoid 95% of the cost and complexity of what Mr Loo is doing as I bought new. Buying second hand is too much cost, complexity and time, 80% of his cost is spent rehabilitating the house, the other 20% of his cost is changing the layout SMH, he brought all this complexity upon himself and now want to show you how complex it is. Usually this level of renovation is done when owners have lived 20 to 30 years and want to re-cycle their house, then worth the trouble and cost. There are also many much better condition second hand houses for sale and in Desa Terbrau which is actually better location than Austin heights. The only lesson learnt here is to not do what Mr Loo did!
Hi Mr. Loo, Does your contractor take on the role of “interior designer” as well? It seems like no interior designer was appointed from your video. Would you recommend that people appoint an interior designer, or can the owner and contractor provide input as the interior designer?
Share your decision of the aircon and all the misc item when you are ready? I brought a house from Sunway. Brand new. I avoided all these renovation but still need to do up my kitchen and aircon so waiting for you to share if you can.
Is the JB house freehold? Is it on Malay land? If not, will it be possible in future that the land the house sits on - becomes retrospectively designated as Malay land? Why Mr Loo needs to "renovate" the house? Is it not supposed to be everything done and complete internally - BEFORE he bought it? If there are any structural alterations to the house, Architects and Professional Engineers should be involved. With all the required approvals from Malaysia Govt agencies. Instead Mr Loo is talking to a renovation contractor foreman ???!!! As I see it, there is nothing wonderful about this adventure in JB landed house. Has Mr Loo checked who actually owns the development? Don't get shocked one day the Malaysia bank tells Mr Loo to get out within 2 weeks - because the developer had pledged all the properties to the Bank for a loan.
Mr. Loo, Your House Renovation that changes the Facade seems like a slap to the original Architect. Hopefully, the Renovated House will blend, asthetically' with the neighbourhood. Do make the effort to climb to the roof, and inspect the details. Unless You have unlimited Budget to constantly maintain, repair building issues, ..it will be a metter of time before the following appears,.. 1. Rodents, Insects Infestation 2. Leaking Roofs, Walls =,..and other internal locations which leaking source is Difficult to trace 3. Premature Materials Failure (this is extremely common when works are done "fast",..and Really Good Quality materials, hardly exist in the local supply-chain) Somehow, One get the impression that You are exhibiting the "Loud Singkie Syndrome" (LSS),.. of which some listeners may get the impression that You are boasting too much. Local Msians either praise You for paying such a High Price for this House / or Curse You, for pushing up the Asking Prices which makes it more difficult for incumbent Buyers to buys such house Type. Yes, Mount Austin is Vibrant,...but after some time, You Would most likely feel frustrated by the Massive Traffic Congestion towards this area and also within this area. So, Please Do Emphatise with the incumbents' perspectives. I Appreciate Your Social Media Influencing efforts, but it is extremely Dangerous of You to over-positive-rant, the Johor Landed Properties. Too many Landed Property Owners Regret their Purchases, mainly because they become slaves to their houses ( cleaning, maintaining, repairing,..etc.,..) and are too afraid to voice out such - for fear of their properties dropping in Value.

When reno is not over, yet everytime this mr loo will carry balls keep saying how good the guy is. reason being he just want to let the guy think that he have a huge fan base, carry his balls in video so that guy will ps and do a better job. this Ks mentality
You need to encourage your vendor. Let them know there is business opportunity. That’s the difference between a successful businessman and one that leech.

After a while the euphoria of living in a bigger house wears off. There’s only so much space that one needs, especially when you are retired
I'm facing that right now. But for me, I knew that issue way before getting the house but as you know, the min for landed housing for foreigners is RM1 million and my case was 1.5yrs ago.

2 room flexi flat have the 2 toilet door concept also
Mr Loo, you are so brave! Handling so many different at the same time!
Nice video
Looks like everything going well for your house renovation
Thank u very much . Hope so!
Omg Mr Loo getting grandchildren playroom all planned and ready is super low key big hints to your children 😂😅
Problem with wooden parquet flooring is later on the glue gives way & the pieces of wood will come out.
Don’t worry… all ok lah
Real parquet wood flooring are known to be very durable. my first 4room master bedroom had it and it was a resale I was second/3rd owner so it's been almost decades. I only did polishing before move in and it lasted me 8yrs before I sold. Totally enjoyed the "cool" solid feel!
Water tank on top the roof is part of Malaysian landed property not because of irregular water supply.
Does Singapore Landed house have similar rules? Just curious
I think the purpose of the water tank at the roof is to ensure sufficient water pressure is present in the 2nd level of the house.
There's also usually 2 taps that get direct supply from the mains. They are usually located in the kitchen. You'd know since the water pressure is markedly different from the rest of the house.
From your videos, seems you had travel much everywhere, but most Singaporeans don't have the luxury to own a semi d or bungalow there. Great to do what you want if you can. Don't mind others. Live your life 😊as long as you are happy with it.
IMO, wouldn't it be more cost effective to tear down the whole house & just rebuild from the ground up again?
Mr Loo, consider changing your attic supports from wood to aluminum
Water & wooden toilet door = bad idea
How come it seems like u are building from scratch? Tot u bought from developer is ready to move in or at least just do interior design ...I can see bare concrete & window are not there?
It's a resales but he is building up additional room and ripping out existing fixtures.
Can also treat the roofing beams and attic for termite prevention before doing your ceiling.
Cool idea!

Daikin!
With such extensive renovation, is 400k to 500k ringgits enough?
Just one thing, when u r old, do u really want the toilet to be "quite far" from the bedroom?
Alamak Mr Loo! Better wear helmet! Wait stone drop on yr head u concuss again! LOL

The Sale & Purchase lawyer would have checked.

Would you be having a home EV charging station?
Yes!
Can u share the contractor details? Thanks.
Your son's room is very big 🙂

You want to consider treating your property with anti-termite agent before putting on your flooring?
Good suggestion!

Oh really?
When reno is not over, yet everytime this mr loo will carry balls keep saying how good the guy is. reason being he just want to let the guy think that he have a huge fan base, carry his balls in video so that guy will ps and do a better job. this Ks mentality
