我地遇上house #6… 呢間真係無論價錢，裝修同size都無懈可擊，雖然個agent 已經同我地講呢間野咁筍一定有D 野，叫我地想清楚先落bid。
最終我地敵不過心中0個團火，照落bid，就算back up bid 都要落!!
結果咪就係又遲人一步囉… 
正當我地睇屋睇到洩晒氣0既時候… 有D 野就係咁… 你越無希望就越容易搵到你要0既野!
Labor Day Weekend (9月第一個星期)，我地又出動!
睇左幾間，見到有一間(house #7)同Sam爸之前鐘意0既style 好似，不過就幾爛下，要裝修~ 佢就有顧慮…
Sam媽繼續係see beyond the picture，只要個價錢傾得掂，自己裝修過呢間0既話，就一定可以住得好舒服。
同agent 傾，佢都話覺得個價錢可以傾之餘，仲約略同我地run 左D 數字，大概要幾多錢可以整到我地覺得需要整0既野。而且佢仲話如果我地整得好，呢間屋個地咁大，再賣0既時候應該可以賣得到我地之前鐘意0個間0既價。
於是，我地落左個幾低0既bid。
一日後，Agent同我地講，呢間屋有另一個bid，高我地少少，不過個買家無pre-approval 資料，話我地應該match 佢地個bid就ok，因為我地有齊所有野，賣家會寧願賣俾我地。
同意! 去馬~
一個星期都唔到，我地就傾掂左個價錢，可以驗屋啦!
呢度買屋過程係咁0既… 你睇好左間屋，傾好價錢，就要驗屋，驗屋過程中如果有D 咩問題，你覺得太差接受唔到，可以back out又或者要求屋主整返好或者要求佢地將個cost 計落個賣屋價錢度減返出黎。驗完ok啦，就可以由賣家0既律師出正式買賣合約俾買家律師，買家就要去律師度睇下份約有無問題同簽約，之後就送返份約俾賣家簽。
買家簽約0既時候會俾大”定”，D 錢會入落賣家律師戶口先，唔會到賣家手上。响呢段時候，買家就要搞貸款0既野。最後，Closing 0既時候，就係交鑰匙0既時候啦!
9/11，Sam爸唔得閒，Sam媽拎假，自己同Agent一齊驗屋!!
總括黎講，驗屋出黎0既結果都同我地所知0既差唔多，驗屋師都話50幾年屋，呢間算ok。
但係Sam媽越睇就越擔心好似好多野搞咁…
– 所有地氈要鏟起換木地板
– 電線要拉過 (呢個之前唔知，要add cost $$$
)
– 某D 門好舊，要換
– 成間屋要油過
– 某幾間房D 牆板要換
– 其中一間房個天花要整過
– 某幾隻窗要換過
仲有好多’lam lam some some’ 野要執~
不過呢一刻要focus 落搞掂貸款先，因為我地已經簽左約，落左大”定”啦! 
雖然未正式屬於我地，都俾你地睇下我地間屋個外殻啦!
間屋有一個車房連私人車道，4間臥室(會改成3房)，一個洗衣房，一個den(會做書房/遊戲室)，Living Room/Dinning Room，2個廁所(得一個有bathtub)，無basement無attic，不過有fireplace! 
而家無咩可以做，就真係得個等字~
Congrats on finding the one! The list doesn't seem so scary. They are quite standard items to fix when you buy a house. And you can buy yr house in time for the rebate! Good for you!!
[版主回覆10/06/2009 02:56:00]thanks well.. if we can close before Nov. 30, then we can get the rebate, if not, we'll lose it… so waiting to hear back from the bank now!
電線如果驗屋話要換就最好換好啲.
好似我自己間屋咁, 六十幾年樓齡, 一直無換過. 突然無左電, 之後拉過先知成間屋唔夠電…….
最後拉過成一萬三, 仲要係明線(之係唔係入牆)……….
[版主回覆10/06/2009 06:35:00]有無相熟電工介紹呀?
地方好大啊… 恭喜恭喜!! (英國買樓賣樓又係要等了又等…. 攪好鬼耐…)

裝修都唔係好複雜啫, 其實可以嘅話, 電線水喉呢d, 換下好架, 話晒用左咁多年, 你又會再用, 整好d, 住得安樂d嘛.
