Xiaohei,

According to the S&P, the legal TOP date is December 2018....At this moment, i havent seen any site works ....i think they will delay until next 2018...


HAHA, lucky me...

The agents told me will TOP 2016.

But I know The Octet will TOP year end 2017.

26-04-13, 17:05
normally will TOP early one la. 2018 is the max they gave themselves to complete.

mine is top floor, corner unit. my agent told me many ppl like that unit haha.

I was the 3rd buyer I think...at least first 10 so has plenty of units to choose from. I hope the west sun is bearable but I want the city view.

BABYT, i have checked with my friend who is a structural engineer..Based on his experience, the time frame required for the construction works will take 2 years....

Haha, same as me, my initial plan of buying Geylang ppty is meant for investment but now might end up staying there :ashamed1:.

Reasons:
1) small unit - easy to maintain
2) near to city
3) within walking distance to MRT
4) lots of good food

When I first bought the Geylang ppty, never know that my office is going to shift to Kallang, now my office is going to shift to Kallang in about 2-3 yrs time, hopefully by then, my Geylang apartment will be ready for occupation.

If Octet showroom is at Lor 22, I think it is already demolished. Went down this morning, thought of taking a look at all the showrooms for Lor 24 projects. Couldn't really find where is the showroom for #1 Loft but managed to see the showroom for Edenz Loft which is at Lor 28 (agent told me that they are going to close the showroom soon). Design not so bad, it comes with a Bosch refrigerator and washing machine. There is a long balcony but no aircond ledge as all the aircond ledges will be located at the top floor. There are 10 more units left out of 42 units. The left over units are west facing but have city view if staying at high floor. According to the agent, there are 48 car parks (mechanical, not sure whether is there any surface parking lot) which is more than enough for the residents. Is it true that Jalan Suka is going to enbloc also or is it that I heard wrongly?

Jalan Suka is going for enbloc? We've not received any news, in addition I'm not very optimistic given that I know of some home-owners who will turn down the offer instantly , in favour of leasing to the vice operators as the ROI is significantly higher than the prevailing interest rate.

I read the comment that the value will jump to $2k psf if this happens? I just find it naive and unsubstantiated ...

Yup, like what BabyT mentioned, we know the place.

But as I mentioned before, I have been actively walking about the area... one thing i also observed is that, there are more and more young couples staying in the area.

I think most of them stay at the newly develop condo...

Water gun not powerful enough, use a plastic bag and fill with water, then throw down, that's what my ex-neighbour did, he threw a bag of water at someone whom he disliked, and then "siam", nobody knew that it was him.

I think Lor 24 at the present don't have innocent passerby. I think I'm the only innocent woman there this evening, haha.

Went to see the #1 Loft today, really impressive but the problem is the staircase is not suitable for those who have legs problem especially old people. Since still have time, so my husband and I walked to Lor 24. Really "Eye Open", no wonder Adam is so angry. But the agent told me that in 2 yrs times, almost all the housing will be enbloc, and all the vice will be chased to the lower lorongs. Whether to be trusted or not, I don't know but this is the 2nd agent who told me that.

I think there is still a 10% discount, why Rontan's friend never get it?

In 2 years' time, the area will go enbloc? I'd love to hear how the agents arrive at this conclusion cos as of now, URA and SPF can't even commit on how and when they can deal with the worsening vice problems here ...

Still as I have reiterated many times, I'd love to be proven wrong, for the good of all of us, present and future residents of this area.

As an update, SPF and URA can't commit to a date for the meeting, though it was raised more than a month ago, with lots of finger-pointing between URA and SPF. I guess as of now, we'll still have to be patient and wait, at the same time, pray hard that I won't appear in the news for the wrong reason, meaning, as the first casualty of this entire Jalan Suka - Lorong 24 saga. Who wants to be the whistle-blower in the first place?

Trust me, if got good news I'll certainly broadcast.

But then again, the residents must be willing to sell but AFAIK, many are reluctant. Take my mom for instance, she's in her 70s and to her, she's not interested in the money. It's her nest, her treasure chest of memories and above all her life; and she's not alone. Quite a number of my neighbours are in her age group, sharing the same thoughts ... and let's not forget the unscrupulous ones who are happily leasing them to vice operators ...

I need to correct you that not the entire stretch of Lorong 24 have gone enbloc and this will have implications when they remain so as the rest of the projects are up.

Let's not forget the root of the problem remains - the authorities have remained indifferent to the fact that some homeowners here are openly leasing their properties to vice operators which leads to the current problem.

Even if the entire place goes enbloc, it's no guarantee what your neighbours do to their property, just like two of mine who have decided to lease it to brothel operators a year ago.

Like I've been saying, I'd like to be proven wrong hence, there's no point setting ourselves up against each other.

Our common 'enemy' is still here, @ Lorong 24, alive, kicking and laughing all the way to the bank, at the expense of the residents whom they can't be bothered.

I asked the agent, what happen when TOP, some of the owners rent their units to the vice for business. The agent said that unless they are not afraid that their units to be confiscated. If that's the case, anybody who stay in that apartment can make a report if they found out there are such a rental. I vaguely remember I saw something in the TV like if the agent cannot sell the house because of the vice business next door, he/she can make a report.

From the graphical representation of 1Loft, I don't see any fencing around the water feature perimeter except lines of scrubs. If that's so, I hope its tall enough to deter ppl from crossing over.

and also the car entrance seems to enter from the side of the building but isn't the coffeeshop is beside 1loft and there is no road to enter thru?

u r not the first one to think I am an agent. there is one fellow who created 1 new nick w 1 post to accuse me of an agent. the last check on his profile, he didn't post anything else till date.

Some ppl here think im an agent just because I say good thing about WHAT I HAVE BROUGHT?

You don't buy something u don't like in the first place? For 1Loft, other than the warehouse looking design and the whores, there is nothing to fault w it. I get to stay top floor w roofless balcony...I cant own a penthouse elsewhere. Geylang is very near to city!

Only ppl who no vested interest will nitpick on every condo in this forum and make snitch remarks on their condo name, showroom, launches, location, design etc. its easy to make such remarks I also can.

If I am an agent, why am I not giving out my personal contact to ppl here?How in the first place I can earn a sales from 1loft when I didn't even tell ppl my identity? U even asked for my whatsapp and I didn't even give it to u.

If sharing purchase experience, posting good comments on your property is a crime here, I think next time I will just keep to myself.

Based on Irisng posting, she said about 10units left unsold...woah if that's the case, I sld have MIA from this thread already...still continue to entertain my 'clients' here? I will move on to other condos I am selling and post good things on them.

Come 2016, I will say hi to u at 1loft.

My mistake, Octet showroom is still there but we didn't go in cos my husband didn't want to go in because he said no intention to buy, so don't go in, if not the agent will keep pestering us. But I think likewise, since there are no viewers and the salesman is sitting around, no harm going in and have a look, in this way, at least we won't cause them to loose any potential buyers.

First time when I bought my Geylang ppty, I also have no intention to buy, just thought of see see look look only but end up bought a unit there. Now is so anxious waiting for the TOP.

If you have difficulties in getting a bank loan (other than Singapura Finance

Please private message me or email me at [email protected]

I think its ridiculous for them to apply same design concept on a new project...it makes our #1loft lost its uniqueness.

Imagine building another 2nd Ferrari condo using design copied from the current one...wouldn't ur customers be upset?


The 1 suites looks more like a circuit-board with more colourful useless lines added in. I tot #1 Loft design was quite bland (but I go ahead because of the 2-storey concept n location).

scarkerr
25-05-13, 02:45
Hi, My first ever post. :)

Aesthetics point of view, the exposed staircase makes the space (width of apartment) look bigger. I think the full wall will restrict the air circulation between the 2 floors; somemore this is a full concrete wall?

#1 suites definitely does not look as nice as #1loft, though v. similar. Comparing location, structural layout (the L shapes), they cannot be priced the same..

Does anyone know what #1 suites is facing? u realise their balcony are not on the sides? that's because those views will be of the geylang hotels.

Please update if u know when the showroom is up? Be very curious to check it out. thks

25-05-13, 09:35
I had been looking at geylang properties recently after owning a few OCR properties and decided to investigate more and invest something different.
To invest in geylang is either hero or zero.
Guess most of buyers' concern is the loan part and I also suspect bank's valuation in future when u decide to sell the geylang properties might not be high. This means that your future buyer might need to have more ready cash to buy from you. But I understand rental wise should be acceptable. However, not sure after so many MMs in geylang, rental might face intense competition.
Nevertheless, if i'm free, will take a look at #1 suites later.

For #1 loft buyers, I reckon it's a good buy if u purchase it at 6xx k.
Congrats.

Based on my calculation, if buy at 717K, 80% loan will be 573k.
If go by 30 years with interest rate at 1.6%, monthly is near 2k installment.

For those buying 1Loft's penthouse, is the roof in the master room a normal flat ceiling or is it a high V-shaped ceiling? I didn't ask my agent and also just realised it.

If its a V-shaped ceiling, then my bedroom and staircase air space above will look more airy and higher.

Some updates on 1 suites.
Rough estimate is 840K for a 1 bedder loft if you accept developer's 10% payment.

For multi property owner, u will be subjected to 7% or 10% absd and if u accept developer's 10% payment, the stamp duty will be based on 840k.


Say if u take developer's 10% gift. And assuming u are subjected to SD +absd = 10% which is 78.6k.
Plus your 10% downpayment 84k, total upfront is 162k.

Only singapura finance will provide loan, at 1.85% interest at 2 years fix rate.

The loft concept is same as 1 loft.
Tmr is the launch, each floor 30k difference.
Pricing not out yet but should be similar to 1 loft.

For multi property owner, u will be subjected to 7% or 10% absd and if u accept developer's 10% payment, the stamp duty will be based on 840k.


Say if u take developer's 10% gift. And assuming u are subjected to SD +absd = 10% which is 78.6k.
Plus your 10% downpayment 84k, total upfront is 162k.

Only singapura finance will provide loan, at 1.85% interest at 2 years fix rate.

The loft concept is same as 1 loft.
Tmr is the launch, each floor 30k difference.
Pricing not out yet but should be similar to 1 loft.

Wah ...840k already ...the one I bought is 717k....paper profit of 123k already.... I bought one loft in Feb 2013..

Hi scarkker,

are u a buyer of 1loft?

there r so many new projects coming along geylang, i think this place will be transformed..


Yo yo, I'm pleased to announce i also have a vested interest here :)

Am happy to know that lots of you share the same 'vision' hoping that Geylang will be famous for chicken rice and not exotic international chicken dishes.

Maybe we shd create a food street selling chicken rice at Lor 24!

actually the pricing in geylang is cheaper even though city fringe, is due to the reputation and the redlight status. buyers bought aware of these. it is not friendly that now have vested interest there, start to complain why got vice activities in geylang and want to 赶尽杀绝people's livelihood.

Nope. U gotta calculate 840k minus 10% given by developer = 750k.
That's the exact price. Cos developer giving 10% as a gift.
Anyway this is just an estimated price and not confirm until launch.

For info, those that are buying lorongs more than 28 will then be able to get loans from more banks. E.g ocbc, uob etc.
Those who bought lorongs 28 and below will only get hong leong or singapura.
For lorongs 20, only singapura finance can loan u. This is the uncomfortable part because if only one finance company can loan u, means they can Suka Suka up their interest rate after two years.

When I visited the sf early this yr, I saw an acrylic piece with the floorplan mounted on the entrance wall of the show unit, indicated as 1 Suites. I asked the agent is this project called 1 Suites or 1 loft. She told me that this sf is actually for 1 Suites, but since its the same design as 1 Loft, developer used it for 1 Loft first.

monkey is not vice. u use the wrong analogy. that mean all HDB stray cats must be killed as well.

its ok to have whores in geylang as long as they do their business within the red lantern houses. those along lor 24 are illegal one. they stand there and wait for business. they sld just move and contain within lorong 20 and below.

a) Some banks grant you a 80% loan as long as the Lorong is > 24.

b) Some banks grant you a loan as long as you are in the odd geylang Lorong

c) Some banks do not grant loans as long as its a geylang property.

I believe only Hong Leong / Singapura Finance grants a loan if you do not meet any of the above but their interest is higher and not sibor linked.

I personally had obtained a bank loan from a bank that is sibor linked and 1st year is <1% + Sibor.

What I mean is Geylang ppty prices have been increasing. To most of us, we have an idea that the prices for the lower lorongs are supposed to be cheaper than upper lorongs, but not so true nowadays, it seems that lower lorongs prices are either at par with the upper lorongs (purchase earlier) or slightly higher. Take for eg La Brisa in Lorong 28, I think the $psf is so much lower than your #1 loft.

Currently, they are also "disturbing" the Geylang residents too, isn't it? In future, there will be more and more apartments coming out, if nothing has been improved, I think by then, the voices will be even louder than now.:D


Rem tt most of e workforce in future will depend on foreigners.

Singapore can still have red light area to satisfy the "hungry" needs but will it be better if it is located at somewhere where there are lesser residents or better still no residents at all because I'm sure nobody will like their areas to turn into a place just to satisfy the "hungry needs".

if authority wants to maintain statue quo...they wont enbloc the chicken houses to pave land for 4 condos at Lor 24.

And so many projects already popped, completed or going to build in geylang. i think the scene may change soon.

logically if new condos along lor 24 are all completed, i doubt whores will want to stand in front of resident area to stand n sell...unless they r so thick skin? and also...do u think SPF will not do anything? 1 condo has a sizeable population, 4 x condo population means even bigger voices to complain.

before that, maybe no one complain about lor 24 because most of the terrace houses are whore houses anyway.

we have been putting assumptions and stuff so just wait for 2015-6 when edenz loft, 1loft n octet are completed and see how it goes.

I think it is because of so many enbloc going at Lorong 24, so now most of the crowd gather at Jalan Suka. But #1 Loft is further from Jalan Suka, unlike the other 2 projects, so maybe not so bad. If there are more and more enbloc going at Lorong 20, maybe it might be different also.

Prices higher at lower lorong better for us so that it will indirectly increase our ppty value too.:D

Isn't 3k-4k a tad too optimistic? not entirely impossible but GL really has to re-brand i feel...3k is possible. i already said in earlier post. it will be a very attractive place for OKT to rent and house their girls. one girl 1 room. one upstair, one downstair. each girl $1500 rental only. per day $30! where to find! nearby hotel hourly already $20+ That is why this is a good buy for rental. no offense, speaking from an investor point of view.

the more I read ur post, the more i wonder why are u so concern w ppl buying geylang property? if u don't have vested interest, don't make sour grape remarks.

Someone said that it is illegal to operate a residential unit as a brothel.

Even if really for investment, investors like u sld really buy a few units and rent to OKTs since u agree it is lucrative?

I have frens staying at lor 28 casa acetate, he said the residents are decent ppl, a few ang mo expats. no whore looking chickens.

if there is no absd, i will definitely buy a few units there.

let's face the reality, geylang is a special place, there is no point closing both eye and say it is a normal place like tiong bahru or toa payoh. otherwise, bank loan would be very straight forward and ALL banks should offer loan.

This place is a good buy, be it for own stay (single) and for rental investment.

Banks favour the ODD lanes, especially lanes starting from Lorong 23 onwards till Lorong 39, its safe to invest in. As mostly its residential properties area. All local banks support up to 80% financing.


For EVEN lanes, properties located from Lorong 24 onwards is generally safe. Lorong 4 to Lorong 22 is classified as the RED LIGHT DISTRICT.
Financing in this area(Lor 4-22) will be difficult in a sense that only Maybank and Hong Leong Finance can loan depending on case by case basis. The percentage of the loan amount will differ as well. (Mostly up to 50% to 70% financing here by Maybank and Hong Leong)


Lorong 24 onwards will be slightly less stringent. However, local banks like UOB, DBS and OCBC are quite conservative about this lanes as well. Thus loans also is on a case by case basis.
As for Lorong 40 and Lorong 42 thou on EVEN lanes, its a all clear zone, all banks support financing for this lane. (3 Popular major developments lies here, Waterina, Sunny Spring and Aston Mansion)
However, with the recent new launches(Mickey Mouse units) banks are opening up to loans in even lanes.

he is just concerned for geylang buyers although i don't see how his comments will create any impact in property market.

well, for ppl who still think short and not far, then just buy ur pasir ris, woodlands, selatar condo lor...paying so much for condo standing side by side HDB, still have to drive or take public transport to town.

Geylang is No.1. not expensive like those condo in city area yet so near to city hall, take bus less than 10mins, can cycle to sport hub or MBS, can go cycle, park and then jogging along scenic Bay Garden East. A lot of food.

compare balestier and Geylang, both city fringe, i still go geylang lor.

w 4 condos along lor 24 in few yrs time...how can this lane not be cleaned? tell me la....if whore wants to sell, she will stand in front of condo and let the residents finger poke at them and laugh at them meh? the most they will gather at Adam's back lane... :D

Is rental really that good? Last time I heard its about 3k the most, hopefully will
go up to 3.5k when ready.

Its just like renting 2 rooms out. 1 at S$1.5k is on the high side to me. Also most single expat allowance is likely to be S$3.5k per month.

Hopefully, i can get 4k per month.

apparently, u can get actual dimension of the project by paying money to BCA for the blueprint. U can see how long is the swimming pool, height of balcony wall etc

From BCA, and here's the website :
http://www.bca.gov.sg/legalsearch/LegalSearchapp.aspx

1. Submit your request online which will cost you S$20 for BCA to search their database. No refund even if BCA fails to find the drawings which you looking for.

2. BCA will send you an email informing you whether the search is success or not. I received mine after 3 working days.

3. If success, you then go to BCA counter at MND building to view and select your drawings on a HP touch screen computer. All floor plans are in AutoCAD format and structural drawings are in PDF format. You then decide which are the drawings you want to print. Each set will cost you S$25 (not per drawing but per set of drawings).

4. Then the printing vendor who is just next to the BCA counter, will print out your preferred size (A1=S$6, A2=S$4). You can even request the staff at the printing room to zoom into any specific area for the print out.

Note:
- You have to be the property's owner to view or print the drawings. You will need to submit a copy of your "Certificate of Stamp Duty" as proof during your visit to the BCA counter.
- You will not be given the soft copy, only can print out in hardcopy.

some said if the motor is under or beside ur unit, then u can hear a faint gentle machine sound.

some said mechanical not good cos when the system is down, ur car is stucked until technician comes and fix it.

there are 80units but only 64 lots available...but i may not drive by then.
