After a series of renovation woes, the celebrity couple are now settled in their beautiful new home. Local actors Joanne Peh and Qi Yuwu purchased the resale property located in the east in 2020 and had hoped to move in with their two children by the end of that year, only for the renovation to take much longer.

Like many families going through a condo renovation, the couple faced delays, unexpected works, and tough decisions that stretched both timelines and budgets. It’s a familiar story for homeowners who often underestimate condo renovation cost — especially when buying an older resale unit where hidden issues only surface mid-reno.

Their experience also highlights a common theme among homeowners: renovation regrets. From choosing the right contractors to planning ahead for materials and timelines, the couple’s journey serves as a reminder that even well-prepared projects can come with surprises.
