Finally, the wait is over. Received the letter to make some payment for 6 months maintenance fee and surveyor fee before can make appointment for key collection.

Btw, the maintenance fee is pretty high. Does anybody know why?

For those who have collected your keys and had a look around at your apartments, you may like to share your opinions and perhaps the defects that you found.

Let me share mine here...

1. Gaps between tiles are wide, in my opinion.
2. The locks on the sliding doors on balcony, bathrooms, planters could not latch properly. Do anyone have the same issue?
3. Those vertical bars in the bedroom cupboards are not "vertical". These bars are secured to the flooring and the ceiling.
4. The wooden skirtings in the cupboards are unsightly, in my opinion.
5. The toilet roll holder at inconvenient location. ;)
6. The pillars/columns in the carpark are a nightmare!

Thanks for your contribution.

hi i called the Managing Agent - -Property Facilities Services pte ltd (PSF) to ask for a breakdown on the maintenance fees. Seems the most expensive and extravagent item is the security guards : there are 2 on duty in the day and 2 at nite! so total 4 - costing 10k already per month. And there are other costs like PUB (another 10k) and ladscaping, management fees, swimming pool etc... so total expenditure amounting to 50-60k a month!!! He says they already sourced for best/lowest price for each item.

And the proposed fee structure were approved by bukit sembawang and then approved by Building and Construction Authority (BCA). The breakdown of shares per unit is determined by BCA, not PSF. (i.e. min 6 shares for 2bedder, max 8 shares for the 2nd floor with patio type / total 685 shares)

Suggested for us to wait for 1y later during AGM (after strata title deed is obtained) to request for lower maintenance fees by either 1) reducing the total maintenance cost (eg reduce number of security guards or cut other expenses that are not necessary) or 2) all owners to contribute a sinking fund ($10 per share) and reduce the monthly fee - this is typically what older condos do to pay less monthly maintenanc fees.

any thoughts?

Actually quite shocking to see the maintenance fees quoted for a 3-bedder to be $490. Sorry I am here just to kaypoh. Sold off my unit last year.

The other properties I own dun charge as much honestly. The river valley 2+study costs $200 per month (50units, with gym, function room, swimming pool). The pasir panjang/south buona vista ones (55-100 units with 2 guards, gym, swimming pool, function room, fair bit of landscaping) costs below $350 for 3+study. Hence very surprised to see the $490. I was quote $180 per month for my studio at The Minton, not sure if this will remain so after TOP. Hopefully the 1163 units there will keep fees low.

Any photos of the interior? Nice? Congrats on getting the keys!

If I remember correctly, agent was saying $40++ per share. My unit account for 6 shares. So I'm expecting it to be around the high side of $200 or $300. :beats-me-man:

Hopefully, the cost will not be ridiculously high like PM. In any case, we have 330 units to share out... Should not be too bad hor...... :scared-2:

Looking on the bright side, I suppose most of us (the 1st hand buyers) bought PM at a good launch price, so assuming our maintenance cost is ~$200 higher than other developments, that's ~$10k for 4 years' stay, which we should be able to recover in a resale situation.

I think once more people move in, we should have a get-together session to figure out how to bring the costs down (e.g. less security guards and gardeners).

Maintenance Fee is really on the high side given the limited facilities. Should check with the developer on how they derive at this fee. It will be worst when residents have to pay for the 2nd car onwards.

No need to change nick lah. I joined this forum when I newly bought into Mondrian mah. Doesn't mean I have to hold forever. Bought PM at below 700psf, sold at close to 1kpsf, bought fh south buona vista at about 700psf. That's how money churns mah.

But agree that potong pasir is a good place to stay. When the price of landed terraces across the road from PM are right, I might come back to potong pasir again. :)

Have received letter from lawyer 2 wks ago and will be collecting keys next wkend. Yes, can see that the maintenance fee is indeed very high and I have complained verbally to developer, know nothing can be done for now but hope they can do something for future. :mad: Was told that this was advised by MA and then approved by BCA! Since all of us feel it is very high, suggest PM owners to complain to developer and if see if anything can be done to lower it.


N2M, thot you would hold PM for longer term, guess you are contented with your profits! ;)

new2mondrian
22-01-11, 09:45
Actually talking to the MA for a detailed breakdown of costs will be good, and see if the costs can be kept low such that a good portion of the $490 can go to sinking fund. And the first management comm voted in must be aligned to everyone's interests to take the neccessary (and sometimes painstaking) steps to cut costs and reduce management fees. If the first MC voted in consists of Bo chap/less-work-is-good types, then it might be a long route to fee reduction.

Just a friendly advice - might be good to discuss any defects after keys collection privately than through a public forum. Thought this might be pertinent especially to first time home owners.

Did anyone read the papers over the weekend on homogeneous tiles "popping" out in certain condos because they've been tiled too close together? Apparently homogeneous tiles are prone to expansion and contraction so it is safer for them to be tiled a little further apart to allow for this. If not, they will start to "pop" out after a couple of years. However due to rising cement prices, some contractors prefer to tile them closer together so as to save on cement. So I guess it's a good thing that our tiles are further apart after all!

They gave homogeneous tiles, but that's consistent with the showflat + brochure specs. Personally I prefer homogeneous tiles, they are easier to maintain and provide a more neutral background to work against for ID.. although I suppose a lot of folks out there would still prefer marble since marble tiles are more expensive.

Better homogeneous tiles than ceramic, I say. At least when tenants chipped the floorings, it's hardly visible. Cracks an chips show up immediately on ceramics. :scared-4:

Of cos, many want marble floor but marble also got different grade and can be tough to maintain.

more answers towards tiles pop up.

There are a number of reasons a ceramic tile floor may loosen, the most common of which is an incorrectly applied adhesive. Other causes may include moisture problems, an unclean surface, or technique errors during installation.

Unclean Setting Surface
Neither thin-set nor mastic will properly adhere to a dusty surface. For this reason, it is important to thoroughly sweep or vacuum just before installation.

Incorrectly Mixed Adhesive
Disproportionate amounts of water in the thin-set mixture will prevent proper adhesion. Runny thin-set may stick to the floor but not to the back of the tile; powdery thin-set will stick to neither.

Moisture
Moisture problems can arise from plumbing leaks or from changes in weather or climate. While tile is designated for use in wet areas, you should still dry any liquids as soon as possible to avoid problems down the road.

Movement
Movement can occur due to a settling house or because of a weak subfloor. A flimsy subfloor will bend under the weight of the tile and setting materials. To prevent this, you may need to add joists for extra support.

Incorrect Installation
There are a number of different installation errors that can result in loosening tiles. Proper tools, adhesive spreading and setting techniques all contribute to how securely ceramic tile adheres to a surface.

I agree that the maintenance fee is on the high side but most importantly is that they do a very good job. This is key for the long term attractiveness of the property. Many developments would cross the 5 year mark and start looking like 10 year old development. So I suppose it is key for residents and investors collectively keep the pressure on the management agents to ensure that they are on their toes! Well, that is my 2 cents worth.

You are very good in self consoling, I like your optimism. :doh:

went down yesterday to do the defects reporting .. surprisingly, not many defects. my only comments are the kitchen door why painted white (the contractor should paint (a better quality should be sprayed painted and not by hand) the door 1st before installing the glass and the door handle) .. they installed everything and painted the door by hand leaving all the paint marks smeared at the glass and the door handle. next, the storeroom door, at the 1st look at it, everybody thought that the contractor has forgotten to paint the door again after applying the base coat. comment is the door should have been sprayed painted and installed, and not hand painted. otherwise, everything else should be OK

For those of you with bathtubs, can you please PM me a photo of the glass screen in front of the bathtub? Mine has not been installed because the stock has not come in, and I'm still deciding whether or not to install it, thanks!
