Oh I see, thank you. My buying price is quite close to the recent 2br sub sale transaction price. Thinking that price will be more higher in next year when getting closer to the top date.

Is local, was told by the agent that he has few units on hand. I suspect may be is the issue of the TDSR for the future refinance? In fact I initially planned to buy 3br, :banghead: TDSR:mad:

The developer still have 3BR now right, but I think is quite ex, almost 1.3~1.4M.

Yes, this project is special, the bigger the unit the higher the $psf. There is many 3br in the sub sale market, but all above 1 mil, but may be can get cheaper than the units hold by the developer, could be due to direct pool facing and high floor level?

Hi all,

Anybody knows on the possibility of putting a bathtub in the master bathroom?
It looks rather small at the showroom. It's stated on paper that it is a 'sunken bath'.

Thinkbig
18-12-13, 11:10
I think it's too small a space to install a bathtub. Can't we use the sunken bath as a bathtub already?

Hi guys and gals

We want to get ideas on renovation and maybe join some group buys for things such as security keypad/locks etc.

I see other condos have their own facebook page but we dont have one, so I opened a Seastrand Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/seastrandresidents

I'll add some of you guys as admin.

Not sure if can post here but I thought it'll be good to have this other platform to interact. Not to compete with this forum at all.

I'm not doing this for commercial reasons - I'm just an owner of the units at SS :)

:cool:

hit Like to join? like no activity there?

Well if everything goes to plan, we should be at Seastrand at next countdown.

Based on their magazine, it states 4th Quarter 2014 TOP. Realistically, it would be sweet to see Tower A TOP in September (4th Quarter ehem) followed very closely by the other towers.

June even better - if so all Towers TOP by September 2014 ;)

Hi, How's everyone doing? Hope the year 2014 has ushered in smoothness so far.

For those concern n interested in FengShui. Chanced upon an article that sounds interesting.

Just for reference. Seriously try not to take it too literally.:tsk-tsk:

Anyone owns a 2 bedder here? I remember the master bed room in the show unit has the bath room door facing directly the side of the bed, which is not good in feng shui, any idea how to fix this ?

Is this completion date same as TOP?

I thought this completion is for construction work, after completion they need to submit TOP to the government, which takes another 2 months?

Not sure about this, hopefully we can get the key as soon as possible.

acosean
17-01-14, 11:12
No, there are 3 stages:

Stage 1: Completion (when construction firm has finished constructing)

Stage 2: TOP (a few months after completion because there are various surveyors to certify the works are done properly and in accordance to specs for safety, etc.; also the legal paper working for obtaining TOP)

Stage 3: Collection of Keys (when developer obtains TOP, then it can start arranging for owners to collect keys)

Note that for owners to go in to take a quick peek, it can be between Stage 1 and Stage 2 (if I'm not wrong), but also subject to being "Ah Ga Liao" with some of the key people there. But must wear helmet and be accompanied.

Hey guys,

garychang is right. The fence is seriously not that bad with plants creeping all over the fence. And it's definitely perm n not temp. This is the latest style of not making the whole surrounding fence look too concrete. The apts should be the emphasis thus with those creeping plants all over makes the whole place look more green and the buildings will stand out. Too much concrete look will make the place very 'dated'. Like 'prison' feel. Know what I mean? It's going to turn out nice I'm sure. Provided the creeping plants grows well covering all those wire mesh fencing. Getting real excited. Really can't wait for the netting n scaffolding of the whole project to be dismantled soon! :scared-2:

They will then update the lawyers who will inform us in writing and we will then make payments and things like that. once this is done, we will be given an appointment date to collect the keys and all this paperwork process will take about 1-2 months after receiving TOP so we may likely move in only in FEB!!!!

Went to the Big Four just now. Noted that Tower J of Seastrand would supposedly enjoy full unblocked sea view because its facing is blocked neither by Ripple Bay or Sea Esta. Unfortunately, after checking the floor plans of the stacks in Tower J with that facing (i.e. Stacks 45 and 46), it is their walls (instead of windows) facing the sea!

Seastrand's fencing simply looks like an upgraded version of that but nonetheless factory-like and ugly! Since the workers are still around, maybe something can be done about it. It really looks like a temporary fencing though

I thought what is the big deal about the fencing until I took a look at the photos.

I totally agree that the fence are just a notch better than those green wired fence. And if nobody tells me it is a condominium, it would think it is fencing for the factory or high class workers dormitory.

Not to rub salt, but owners should write in and complain.

Hi neighbours,

After looking at how some of u feel, I observed something which I would like to share with you from a third party point of view.

Yes, when I first saw your fence, I was a bit surprize why wire mesh fence was used?

As I look closer on the picture and physically inspect at the site, it occurred to me that you Hv something better than a pattern solid wall fence.

I think You are given a green belt landscape barrier fence with high metal fence outside, low metal fence inside and landscape garden in between

This, in my opinion is a more complex fencing solution than just a pattern solid wall. It is a statement that SS has the land/resourse to build/maintain a green belt landscape barrier fence.

Just my humble opinion :)

yup... i prefer the greenery natural feel of the fence which likely will have Creeper plants and small trees decorating it... like waterview at Tamp ave 10.
and then if crime rate ups, we can electrify the metal fence... woo hoo!

Have you guys gone down to see the actual site?..it is not a matter of concrete or greenery but this is a matter of cheap quality fence. Seastrand was more expensive than other developments and yet they are cutting corners. The fence is low at some parts and it is easy for someone to jump over- I have seen some developments with similar fence and the creepers only cover small parts of the fence. It is not green at all.

samtcw
18-04-14, 11:18
it looks like a dormitory with the wire fences around it. If u look at the projects by architect Ong&Ong, the fences should resemble like OLA residences and is close to the seastrand model. The wire fences even with the greenery doesnt really give an aesthetic appeal to e surrounding.:simmering:

it looks like a dormitory with the wire fences around it. If u look at the projects by architect Ong&Ong, the fences should resemble like OLA residences and is close to the seastrand model. The wire fences even with the greenery doesnt really give an aesthetic appeal to e surrounding.:simmering:

True, same here. I was expecting something like this picture attached:simmering:.

Before I purchased the unit, I asked the agent on the perimeter fence. The agent told me it will be similar to the model and not to worry, this is a feo project and they will not compromise on quality
:simmering:

The reality is the model designs always look better than the actual condo. However, as this is a FEO project, I expected some level of standard plus this was comparatively a more expensive project than those in the vicinity

To me the facade plays an important part in the value of the condo. Having cheap fence makes the condo looks cheap. .

Really hope the interior quality is not compromised.

Seastrand's fencing simply looks like an upgraded version of that but nonetheless factory-like and ugly! Since the workers are still around, maybe something can be done about it. It really looks like a temporary fencing though
Can anyone post how the fence looks like?

I Really like the interiors of seastrend but too bad I missed the boat.

400k more than neighboring condos?

Comparing the 3 bedrm, seastrand sells at 1.1-1.2 mil where as the vicinity condos can get it at around 800 k. Seastrand is the first to launch therefore they sold at high prices.

I seriously don't mind such fencing to showcase the landscape greenery, but they don't have to use such flimsy cheap quality, they can use some beautiful iron rods to surround the houses, also can showcase the landscape inside.

The fence really spoils the whole look of the building. And it brings down the value of the house.

I too am kind of disturbed by the fencing. Surely someone from Far East is in the know of this forum. Will any organisation allow such a flaw mare their reputation? This is nowhere premium nor luxurious in my opinion. This is also in no way similar to the fencing represented by the model, except for the primary function of creating a boundary, albeit a flimsy one. If the fencing is not as aesthetically pleasing as the one shown at the model and is not sufficient to act as a good barrier (due it's low height) what are we signing for on the dotted line really? Let's just hope that we are over assuming and that Far East will deliver what they represented. I truly thought that the fencing is a temporary one when I first saw it.

The fence shown in the model looks ok lei.

FEO has used the weird cheap looking wire mesh fence instead when they constructed the actual condo? :doh:

So what you see is not what you get. How are the buyers protected from this kind of cheap tatics?!

Hi future fellow neighbours, I've been reading your posts on the fencing and I cannot agree enough with you on how flimsy and cheap the current wire fencing looks!

To add on, the fencing is of irregular height and looks completely different from the model at the show flat! I am sorry to say this but after checking out Belysa's fencing or rather concrete walls, I am thoroughly disappointed at how much better it looks (plus it is an EC) :jaw-dropping:

Are we able to write into FEO or something? I hope we can do something about it now before we start collecting our keys......... :scared-5:

Maybe those better in writing can draft a standard complaining letter and we all copy , sign and mail it to FEO?

Went to downtown east and saw that it is the same wire mesh used, to cover their Costa sand chalet area. :jaw-dropping: But even dte will be revamping the whole place soon. This wire mesh idea is really old and awful. Maybe we can ask first if there a chance of the fence ever becoming like the model? Or is it already in its finished work?

Confirmed its a finished work. If no one complain , then the developer won't change the fencing..the more I look the more look like prison fencing!!!! Totally unacceptable. :tsk-tsk:

Even you complaint they don't do anything you cannot do anything . They will try their best what I feel . If they turn out not your expecting they tell yourself next time when buy their project again or next time ask them to write in the agreement before you buy . But I feel like it will look ok . Like estuary in Yishun also have this fencing after top the green plant grow look not that bad . The most important is the the interior work in your unit they provided because we stay not the exterior work . Exterior can be touch up

It should look at least 50% somewhat similar to the model. But it is 100% completely different. How are they going to explain this? This is blatantly lying to the consumer. Like you buy apple, they give orange. Oh, just for illustration purposes? The model had no wire mesh at all. It looked so perfect. But they failed to deliver.

Developer has indemnified themselves against any claim and dispute. It stated in the undertaking letter clause 3 when we signed in our option to purchase:-

" any pictorial representation of items to be provided by the developer in the sales brochures, flyers, leaflets, building models may not be identical to the actual items i.e colour ,design and brand may vary from the pictorial representation/representation"

Nevertheless, as an investor or home owner, we should write in again to the developer ( to the correct person) with regard to the design of the exterior fence which has deviated from the model.

Majority of us have expressed great disappointment on the slipshod job by 2 reputable developers. In fact i would say that many of the projects under FEO are pretty nice with green landscape and well designed exterior fence as well as the interior design. e.g 99 years leasehold Silversea which going to be TOP soon. It has already set the precedent. So the expectation is naturally pretty high for what they have promised on their delivery. :tsk-tsk:

I honestly feel they are cutting corners cos of the general bad property climate.

Honestly, the genuine homeowners always suffer due to spectators causing the property prices to soar, n the developers get more greedy n then bid the land so high.

Now the homeowners have to content with poor quality, substandard materials , smaller condos n higher prices!! :tongue3:

Though I m not vested in SS, I empathize with the owners.

I'm not surprised. I think it would be best if we could send through a formal query to check in on the fencing on behalf of all the owners to check in on the fencing? Also did anyone spot the different shade of paint (looks brownish to me) in the stacks behind the towers facing the main road?
