HDB Renovation Myths #9

NEVER EVER buy your furniture before you start your renovations.

So you've set your eye on that dream dining table, sofa, bed frame, tv console, fridge (fill in appropriate furniture piece here) and the sales assistant is willing to give you an additional 10% off if you commit on the spot PLUS he even offers to store the item for you for FREE! You think to yourself - I can't miss this deal & for a moment you lose your grip on you practical and logical self & purchase the item.

Then you realize it doesn't fit into your overall design theme after all and your kitchen is not designed to accommodate your designer fridge. What are you going to do? Sell your HDB apartment and move? Sorry, now you have to wait 5 years before selling.

Consider yourselves warned.
