Hi. Thanks for offering your help. I'm looking at a 1,700 sq ft condominium unit (around 12 years old) for around RM600k. It's going to be for my own stay for at least the next 10 years.

What should be a reasonable amount to spend on renovating the unit?

Appreciate any response. Thank you.

Since you are staying for quite a long period in it and 1700sqft seems quite ok for long term stay, I will say you will probably need about RM200k max for everything inclusive of furniture, appliances , airconds and etc. Maybe you want to reroute your piping to prevent leaking in future.
But rest assured that you will love you home and may even don't want to move out in future 😜
Do bump me if you need the help on your ID
cheers!

Thanks so much for your reply. You can't imagine how relieved I was to see the figure you mentioned. In my own mind I had around RM170k to RM200k and was thinking: Is that too much?

Thanks again and I'll discuss with my wife and get back to you in relation to the ID. In the meantime, appreciate your responses in this thread and do share the results of your work or services.

Hi and thanks for all the great help you've provided in this thread.

I'd like to pick your brain in relation to my just purchased apartment. It's an old unit so the design leaves a bit to be desired. Was wondering if you can give your thoughts especially on the kitchen/yard area.

My preliminary thoughts:
- Don't really need the Bath 4
- Open to the possibility of knocking down walls to create an open kitchen
- Not too keen on wet and dry kitchen, I'd rather just have 1 big kitchen

Thanks in advance.
