Landex, when did u submit ur cheques? Just wonder how long to take on the clearance
cheque needs at least 3 days to clear so pay via cashier's order if you want to shorten the lead time

I submitted the cashier order to my solicitor last Mon, 2 June 2014. When I called this morning to make arrangement to collect key, he said no update yet on clearance. Sigh..
I just made the payment yesterday. So I guess it will be an even longer wait..
Does anyone know if this area is clear of all those red lights activities?
This can be quite disturbing for all of us staying here I suppose..

Your cheque is only one aspect, more important is your disbursement of your bank loan to the developer. That will take atleast 7 working days after your lawyer giving notice to your bank.

That's correct. i paid fee for bank to expedite release of funds and my lawyer was very helpful to assist in the entire process.

There are two ‘red houses’, one on lorong 28 and the other at lorong 30, each within 75m of GE entrance. Both I believe are for outcall. This two lorongs is a lot less complicated than the smaller numbered lorongs and in time, I believe these will go.

Thanks for the reassurance :)
Hope gahmen will revamp Geylang, starting by getting rid of all the red light activities.

realistically, every major city globally will have a red light district; after all it is one of man's oldest trade so it would not disappear. As long as it is controlled and does not get into our daily lives, it would be fine. :)

I was there just now too. Go and view a lot of units, many not lock at all. After looking at my unit, just feel a bit small and the work is not ready yet.
Anyway, I will start planning of how to renovate with some photos taken.

Glad to hear you will be staying there. Just alone or with your spouse?

OMG, cannot sleep tonight, cannot wait to rush down to take a look at the real unit ( curious how small it would be) but at this time they might reject the view. To be honest the swimming pool looks to me is not very pretty from the photos, lack some feelings. the colors are too simple and does not match well ( a bit boring).

I did not measure it, but i guess is about 3.2 meter without false ceiling. With ceiling board at kitchen area I think should be around 2.6 meter.
I think there should be quite a lot of defect. For my unit, it is not ready yet. Worker still patching up tile that is not properly done. I suspect there is water seepage issue.

Glad to hear you will be staying there. Just alone or with your spouse? With my hubby. This little apparent is initially purchased for renting out more than own stay ( we are currently living in HDB) But I changed my mind as feeling not very good to let stranger use my brand new apartment. Hehe. So After renovated two of us will move in. Plan to stay for a few years then rent out. We are 小只， believe 560psf is adequate. Yeah I also notice the rent is rang 2.5k-2.9k a bit lower for a new flat.

Must can lah, don't worry. Believe most of us can collect by next week as long as u already gave the cashier' order to lawyer last week. My layer told me she already reimbursed my cashier's order yesterday and normally need 3 days to process, so planning to call the guy to make appointment on next Thursday.

Great to know the height is not that low, but yours is penthouse must be a bit higher than our normal ones lah. Sigh. Still worrying......until the day see the real unit.
Sorry to know ur apartment have some inproper works. such problem should be temparary, all in all developer should know there must be many defects due to rushing so much for TOP and get them fixed without fail.
I also just try my luck, drive there and the Guard just open the gate for me , and I just drive in. Those units that are ready will be locked, but some units are not locked.
Good to hear you got to walk around today. :)
The security was lax on Sat. The guard seem to be letting whoever that drove into the carpark without asking for unit number. I hope this is temporary and not a reflection of the security standard.

The penhouses are not ready yet, the doors are all over and I believe you would have seen some of them besides your own. Not sure what they doing with the tiling at the roof top, it is same for many penhouses.
Also noticed it very easy to see your neighbour when you stand at the jacuzzi area, however developer had given this some thought and staggered the jacuzzi such that it will not be side by side with your neighbour

Hope you managed to get in today. False ceiling at dining to living area. i didn't measure the height but it's high enough.
Master room depth is 8ft as per plan, 7ft for bed and you left with 1ft between end of bed and walk.

Thank you. I not only successfully got in GE, but also successfully entered my unit ( luckily it was unlocked, but unluckily saw our toilet was used by someone, gross!).
Happy to find:
1. Room is actually quite livable, not that small as I imaged.
2. Living / dining / bedrooms height are 2.9-3.2m. not bad not bad.
3. Not as many defaults as I thought.
Sad to find:
1. Both bedrooms width are only 2.4m, we already ordered king size mattresses and bed frame. King size bed is 2.3m long, only left 0.1m for walking. OMG.
2. Width of my 3 balconies are only 80cm. You can imagine how narrow they are. Headache to seek small outdoor table / chair to fit in.
3. The heater of air com are located in a very small closed room outside my living room window which is quite lousy design compare to those unit with outdoor heater. Worried how many years my air con can last.
Anyway, the exciting feeling is surpassing disappointing. kitchen looks small but very decent and functional. Glad to see no indoor trash drop inside kitchen.
when u brought ur unit, u didnt check ur floorplan on the width of the balcony and masterbed room size? sldnt have deviated very much. :confused:

Bedrooms only width 2.4m?! Really how to walk now. LOL. Maybe a super single bed will do the trick.
Balconies only 80cm. Now I really need to think of how to utilize it. But I think most of the time is to hanging the laundry.

oh great you saw your own unit, surprised it is unlocked as i thought only the PH were unlocked.
Guess for your bed, if you can remove the headboard that would help, else eh you need to roll over your bed to get across :p
Personally for me, 80cm width for balcony is just nice, any bigger it would eat into my living room space.
For aircon, i think there is an exhuast system to channel the warm exhaust to 8 floor roof, not as good as outdoor facing units but hopefully wouldn't give your aircon any trouble.

For my apartment, I think it is blocked by a new building coming up, haven't gone down to see it around 3-4pm yet because I have already rented out my unit. Before the new building is built, the west sun shine right thru' our main door to the corridor.:doh: But if air-cond is on, actually the room is not that hot leh except that it is glaring but can always draw the curtains. Not to mention our S'pore hottest month around May, other than that, actually it is quite windy at times.

Hi GE Owners, anyone collected keys this week ?
I collected the key on last Friday, actually they called
me last Monday but my phone was out of battery so didn't answer. The next day when I called back they informed me can collect key and the appointment date will be two weeks later....... I told I couldn't wait so long time and need keys ASAP. so they adjusted my appointment to last Friday. So kind.
About the collection keys day- they showed me all of keys such as letter box etc, aircon controller, handbook, main gate scan card. Defect form etc. they told
Me so far already distributed keys to about 90+ units.80% of them will be for renting out.
About the defect- for my unit. My smart and detail ID helped us find out a lot of hollow floor area, scratch and hole on doors. Unsmoothly power switch, oh and I notice there is minor leaking problem in kitch and bathroom after open the water. Also noticed the door line between living and bedroom are rusty( why they don't use plastic material?) anyway already tendered the defected form to a India guy who promise will re-work everything from today, hope will see improved room on this Saturday.
About the renovation - according to GE management office, have to pay $1000 deposit prior to renovation ( so expensive right?)
About the facilities- yoga / function / reading room are still unfinished status, pairing box tools everywhere, asked management office they told me chairs will be moved in August and there will be no booking in reading room at all!!!( they suggest owners to donate). They are also waiting lucine for swimming pool so temparar only cannot use swimming pool.
Yesterday went GE again, happen to see a young couple looks like tenant in lift and heard they said they regret to buy a unit in this condo, they are so impressed of the unit facing to swimming pool, looks so convinient that they can even jump directly from forth floor to pool( OMG, can igage how noisy the unit facing pool will be)

If I'm not wrong, GE has two exit, Lor 28 & Lor 30. Exit Lor 28 and walk towards Geylang side instead of Guillermard side, there is a coffeeshop at the corner but I think now is under renovation. Opposite Lor 28, also has a few coffee shops but need walking lor.
You are lucky, not everybody who live in HDB has shops just located at their blocks. Some also need to walk at least 5 to 10 mins.

U walk towards Geylang Road - across the road there is 1 kopi tiam. If u dun want to cross the road, walk in the direction of traffic, there is one provision shop call I-Tec.....all within 3 minutes walk from GE.
Has anyone completed the defects checking and submitted the form? I heard they will take around 2-4 weeks to rectify the defects depending on the 'seriousness'.
I just have one question on this..
Can we still proceed with lights and curtain fittings while they are doing up the defects? Or is it better to wait after defects are cleared then we proceed?

I had the curtains people come down to take the measurements and asked the lights people. And both parties recommended to proceed only after the rectifications as to avoid complications... :(
I called up the developer to request for the floor plan of my unit (with measurements) but they are not able to provide. I was told they only can provide the floor plan picture but not the measurements.
I mean this is unacceptable right? We need the measurements so that we can look for furnitures and electrical appliances that will fit the unit. Yes, we can own self measure but what is so difficult for a developer to provide?
This is most frustrating.

For my case, during the process of rectifications, I have some of my lighting up first so that in case we wanted to come and see our unit in the evening. Try not to do anything that needs hacking or drilling. For curtains, you can get it prepared first but don't hang up in case the workers might dirty it while working.
If there is some major defects eg floor cracking or have hole, try not to install anything near there in case they said that you dropped the things and damaged it.

In fact, I also got lots of advice from our brothers and sisters here. Cheers to them too.:cheers4:
I called up the developer to request for the floor plan of my unit (with measurements) but they are not able to provide. I was told they only can provide the floor plan picture but not the measurements.
I mean this is unacceptable right? We need the measurements so that we can look for furnitures and electrical appliances that will fit the unit. Yes, we can own self measure but what is so difficult for a developer to provide?
This is most frustrating.
Unfortunately, measuring ourselves is the only way (some actually enjoy doing it). An easier way is to measure from the floor plan as it is a scaled drawing, however it is less accurate and you cannot measure fridge height for example from floor plan.

We never based on the floor plan, we measured it ourselves. Even for curtains, we DIY it.

You must be prepared that during the rectification, the workers might use your toilet for "business" without flushing properly:simmering:. Then they might stay in your house to enjoy the aircond in the evening. This one, actually I'm not very sure, I suspect only :D. I found my pail in my master bedroom the next morning when I actually left it in the toilet. Then the plug was not switch off when we had actually switched it off before leaving, so maybe they used it to charge their handphones. Another day, I saw one of the workers sat at our balcony taking his tea break, this is actually ok for me. In fact when he saw us, he quickly stood up and wanted to leave but we asked him to carry on but he felt shy, haha.

yeah, floor plan is not accurate. I did all the measurements myself except for curtains, curtain man measured, sewed and put it up for me.

Limited unit in the whole project.
1 +1 penthouse unit for rent.

asking 3k yet neg.
very nice landlord ,

realistically, every major city globally will have a red light district; after all it is one of man's oldest trade so it would not disappear. As long as it is controlled and does not get into our daily lives, it would be fine. :)
As far as I know, government will not renew their license to operate from lorong 20 and above with effect from last year.

Yes exactly. Riverbay has one unit 1x- 06. It is going to TOP soon yet that unit is used by workers to sleep, bath and play at night.

Hi bro, I think this is unacceptable and you should bring it up to Govin (the PIC I think).
definitely will raise defects again.
just wondering if anyone got similar experience
Is this project by Macly ?

Looks like those units facing the pool are having a more spacious balcony..
But most of the unit with bigger balcony facing pool don't have the Home office that 'a why you can see most of them have to set the dinning table outside in balcony, i really feel speechless about the designer of this condo, cannot they give a slightly more satisfied design, I remember at the day of lunching, I am so interested about the units facing the pool, but after check the layout I give up.

My unit is currently under renovation, I am going to instal decking in balcony, decorate all the rooms with wallpaper and block-out light curtains, origianlly I am going to romove the stupid looking wall in balcony just like unit 05-26( if I am not wrong), but checked with management office this is not approved unless after 1 year all the necessary inspection are done and approval is finally received for the condo then maybe can romove the wall, Speaking of management office, I quite like Miss Frawny's response and service, I submitted the application for renovation in very short notice and request to start urgently before Goast festival, she granted the approval on the spot which is so great. Btw, I also removed the developer build-in wardrobe in bedroom 2 and going to ask my ID to instal a full height wardrobe.
Make sure don't get into legal law suit with Macly as in the case of one of the owners of Thomson V.

How is my GE neighbors doing so far?
Btw does the management charge a fee for using the BBQ pit?
Anyone of you find the duct very noisy?
I have asked the maintenance people a couple of times to look into this.
Recently Govin told me they have fixed the problem by sealing the window tighter.
But it was still noisy last night when I went down to check :frown-new:
Now thinking of replacing it with sound proof window which some friends told me can greatly reduce the noise. But that will cost...
Received by property tax, annual value $18,000 for one bedder 441 sq ft.
Anyone else received it and I your AV the same ?
Landex, my 409 sqft has the same AV.
Common, 409sqft and 441 sqft has different rental value, 409 sqft should have lower AV than 441 :frown-new:
Icefish, the duct is noisy but its ok once I close the window

Dear neighbors, just curious how your living is in the new apartment in GE. I am piss off by the useless and helpless security. They just let anyone come in without checking and other necessary information, and I noticed they also let any people visited noisy temple opposite to walk in or park their vehicles FREE in our condo without getting permit( actually it shouldn't be allowed, am I right) What a serious problem! I mean I paid maintainance fee to the so called maintainance found every month just for what? Of course for at least condo service. If these people can free park in this condo anywhere anytime without stopping them then who is responsible and paying damage cost brought by them? Is this a condone HDB? Are we paying salary to security do such suck service? So angry. Last weekend night I saw two persons walk from temple opposite the street into condo (guess they are going to drive their free-parking car away) what a convenience. I immediately ask that night shift security why he didn't check, he said he also noticed but he also didn't know and he will check in future. Tonight my husband saw a group of people walk in to condo from opposite temple again and about to drive their car away my hubby ask security to stop their vehicle but security treat my husband like a air and still let these outside people go in and go out without any checking. Seriously will complain it to management office next Monday see what their answer is? Hope security didn't take any $$ from temple to offer their so "convenient" service and management office will have a urgent solution to stop it. And learnt from this lesson that in future will never ever buy any property from a unknown developer cause small developer don't care owner and don't have any professional standard and even the security' service we are paying for is a big joke!

Hi, already finish and moved in 3 weeks ago. Quite excused and tried by these Reno thing but happy to live in the new house, feel all time and emerge worth it, now every morning I got direct bus to office in town in 20 min and save a lot of time on the road. So I feel quite satisfied just two things bothers me. One is noise, unbelievable and unacceptable dog barking, drum, ugly singing sound from the temple just opposite to the entrance of Condo, and seems temple owner got quite good relationship with security ( or management office). I saw security even let his customer to free park or walk in without any checking. Going to complain it to management office cause the security here is the most sucks I have ever met in my life

Could it be that GE is still new, so security is not so tight yet because there will be more and more new residents and agents going in and out of the building.
Some security guards are too strict while some are not. My 1st batch of security guards were sooooo " g o o d " that they allowed "someone" to come straight to my house at around 11pm without intercom/inform me. :banghead::doh: Then we had a 2nd batch of security guards who were so strict that even KFC delivery, they also intercom us. I wonder how secured is security, I think most of the condos, the visitors only need to tell the security guards the unit number and they will be allowed to go in without the guard checking with the owners. So I wonder if "someone" knows any unit number in the building, is it means that they can go in and out of the building anytime?

Breakdown the problem into small pieces and solve it one at a time.
1. Take down the security guard name, the date of incident.
2. Ask which company he belong to.
3. Call the company.
4. No improvement, inform the company you will help them advertise their good service in the social media.

Security Guards are normally the main problem in most of the condo. I suggest inform the MA.
And pressure the MA to make improvement and enforce the rule and regulation.
Next time, you should join as Council Member once the MCST is formed.

That's the reason why I prefer a condo with the gate closed all the time, only can be opened if your car is equipped with the device.

Your unit is facing directly the temple?
IMHO, beside the noise, you might be able to smell the "smoke" when they are burning the incense paper during the 1st and 15th day of the month or special occasions. But if yours is on the high floor, maybe not so bad. Once you are used to it, I think it should be ok.
