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

The term "Completion on Foundation Works" shown in the progressive payment schedule, does it mean the completion of pilling works? If yes, what is the time frame required to complete the pilling works then?
Anyone has any idea on the mechanical carpark noise? I understand some of these can be quite noisy. Dont really see much condo's with these but it is a unique factor i guess. Does #1 suite have a mechanical carpark?
I think there are quite a few in Geylang apartments.

I think this question (time frame) has to leave it to the expert to answer you. I'm only "half past six".:ashamed1:
Foundation work should be equal to piling work :2cents: . I bought my unit in Mar 2011 and the foundation work was completed in Feb 2012. According to my agent at the time of purchase, he said that the foundation work for my project would be started only six months later, so in my case, it took about 5-6 months to complete. After piling, they still have to test the ground, so that's why foundation work takes longer time.
My TOP is supposed to be in Dec 2015 but it seems that it is about 1-2 years ahead of it.

When is your TOP date?
iris, what is your project name? till now i dunno which condo u stayin.
When is your TOP date?
Not known yet but the internal plastering, doors and windows are in position already. Now left the installation of the electrical plant etc inside the house + car parks, roads and drains, so I guess it would be either end of this year or early next year.
my lawyer fee costs me $6k+ and another $700+ for CPF solicitors. :scared-5:

I need not pay the lawyer fees as it is part of my loan package.
i think the new cooling measure means have to fork out laywer fee ourselves right?
perhaps you have indicated as for investment? bank are more willing to loan if indicated as own stay, like babyt.
That's what the bank told me too. Unfortunately, I already has a HDB so was not advisable to place it as own stay. (grey to me)
The place is too small for a young family with kids to stay. (unless its the 3 rooms one)
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.
Shouldn't we be doing this before we purchase the property? :)
Since there are so many of us here, many we can form up and see what is lacking and try changing it with the developer?
For one,
I will love for the washing machine to be changed to dryer/washer or for the
wall to be painted other colour.
I need not pay the lawyer fees as it is part of my loan package.
Which lawyer costs so much? Mine only cost 2k. (a common market price).
There is no value into going into a good lawyer as this is routine work i suppose.
I think there are quite a few in Geylang apartments.
Saw one before but not sure about the voice but did not hear any noises when i was there.
I did noticed that there is only 66 lots out of 80 units which i think is on the lesser side?
my lawyer fee costs me $6k+ and another $700+ for CPF solicitors. :scared-5:
It should not cost you more than s$3,500 for legal.
As for CPF, it is cheap. Not $700.
Mine was s$3,000 all in (legal, CPF etc). You have a choice to find or call different lawyers to get the best deal. What you paid was JUST TOO MUCH.

BY ADAM GOI,
The meeting with CO Geylang NPC and his management took almost 90 minutes yesterday.
As expected, I only heard assurances that SPF are aware of which residential units @ Jalan Suka, Jalan Molek and Lorong 24 are operating as brothels and they are building their case against them; that either investigations are ongoing or due judicial process is taking place.
When I pressed for the timeline, I wasn't given any, which was not a surprise. When I pressed them to make a statement on the reason(s) why they are not doing anything about the alarming rates at which private properties are being converted into brothels, I wasn't given a direct answer and they kept using the strategy of assuring us that Lorong 24 is safe, and despite it's overwhelmed by large, intimidating crowd especially on evenings, weekends and public holidays, statistically it's acceptable; in short they asserted it’s safe here and hence my notion of unsafe neighbourhood is a ‘perception’ which doesn’t reflect the reality.
I guess towards the end, eveyone knows we're getting nowhere as mere words of assurance just do not cut anymore; the fact remains what we, the residents are witnessing and experiencing remain worrisome. We still live in the state of insecurity, frustration and fear.
So my parting shots to them was first to protest that relying on statistics is meaningless. The statistics, i.e. low crime/casualty rate do not reflect the local sentiment and reality; it's extremely bias and not holistic, it trivialised the severity of the problem here. We live here, mind you. We see it, we feel it. It’s nothing compared to your ‘dipstick’ type of sensing that SPF get from their brief patrols!
In addition, I also reminded them that despite the 'assurances', nothing has changed (in fact it’s worsened) and the resident's confidence here is at record low, that the credibility of SPF, as the de facto law enforcement agency is extremely poor as of now. We don’t feel their presence, in fact the vice operators’ presence is overwhelming here!
I also pointed out ti them that they can't resolve the problem, let alone even to contain it, be it vice problems such as more prostitution, more brothels, continued sale of contraband cigarettes and the return of gambling on the street.
Though I remain thankful to the cordial relationship with the CO and the officers from Geylang NPC, and the fact that we had a very open, heart to heart talk, of which I've promised not to divulge certain details, I continued to remind them that with each passing day of non-activity to deal with the vice problems here, the residents here continue to languish, imprisoned in our homes when the crowd gets bigger and when night falls.
Though I am guaranteed personal safety (as well as my neighbours') that as long as we feel threatened, SPF is just a phonecall away and that should anything, God-forbids happens to any of us, the strong arm of justice will come down heavily and swiftly on the perpetrators ... well they sound really good but what's the point? Do I want to be a victim to test this 'theory'? Haven’t we read enough of crimes which occurred out of irrational thinking?
We have come out openly to oppose the vice operators and we know somehow our actions are affecting them. Can SPF assume all of them and their sympathisers will behave rationally?
Okay I think I got one shot left that was to point out that we’re not giving up. It may seem like a roadblock but we’re not giving up.
We will continue to write, make noise and stand up against these vice operators who have come to invade and continue to ‘rape’ this neighbourhood which we still call home. We will defend this kampong, within the legal framework, until justice is served.
Hence, for those who are reading this, we’re still grateful and continued to be humbled by your support. Please stand with us by sharing this and I can say confidently that if this problem is not addressed, it will spread. I’m already receiving reports that other non-traditional Lorongs have more sightings of streetwalkers and it’s said to be moving beyond Geylang.
Let’s play an active part before it’s too late; let’s send a clear message to those unscrupulous individuals or groups that we do not welcome them to set up vice activities in our community. We want our home back!
Hi all,
Nice to hear that there are plans to get rid of the dirty activities in Geylang. I also have a unit in Lor 28 which is rented to a british expatrite. I plan to take back the unit and stay there 2 years later when the tenancy end. By then, the revented Geylang River and Sports Hub should be ready. We can all enjoy the new amenities then. With all the new lovely buildings in progress of completion along the way, Geylang will be a nice beautiful private estate to stay in.

Indeed you are right and some people are asking to leave the dirty activities alone :doh:

Hi babyT
Agree with you on the storage. for small apartments storage and cabinets are key to prevent cluttering. stairs for small new york apartments are usually floated or have storage facilities to maximize use.(read about this on tiny SOHO apartments). Developer should take note of these and attach washer under the stairs instead as it is directly behind the toilet. like this we can split the washer and dryer separately instead of combining into one machine. I understqand these combined washer/dryer are usually not energy efficient as separate units. but well i guess it is pragmatic for small apartments nonetheless so it's really up to owner.
Can also utilize the area to house the brooms and store rooms. more functional use of space. With good dryers, people will not put their unsightly underwear on the windows and degrade the exterior and value of the unit altogether.
Baby T please shut the shutters if you drying clothes in balcony okay. :) biggest challenge for such units are laundry i believe and storage.
I find this website pretty relevant to #1 loft. they have more space but you can pick some of their ideas when you guys move in.

anyone cycled around the Waterina area? i bet that place is a huge draw when the kallang river has finished its construction. reminds me abit of Keppel Bay area abit. Hope more bars come out. some good alfresco placces around the Kallang River would also be a plus I reckon.
i stay top floor so i can air my laundry easily.
i cycle from bedok to MBS almost every week so moving to geylang means i can cycle to MBS/Shenton/Lau pat sat easily.
optimus, u also brought 1loft?

Yes. one unit and contemplating still whether to stay or rent. I'll figure it out when it TOP depending on demand and rental.
heard the developer pays for 10% of your 20% down payment? so effectively you enjoy 90% LTV:confused: is that true?
solicitor cost is 3500 but add all the little fees here n there for disbursement and anticpated disbursement and gst....all up 6K
I think this is expensive because these are the lawyers whom seldom does conveyancing.
If you get a specialist who does conveyancing, you only end up paying < S$2k nett nett. (everything in)
However, we can compare price but its hard to compare standard of services.
I just felt that the transaction is a simple case and went for the lower one. It differ from case to case.
U mean that we can actually request for changes??
Did anyone notice in the brochure, its says hot water in the masterbath room.. i asked the agent, does that mean we dun get hot water supply in the other toilets?? Tot thats strange.. hmm.
If you ask for something that is cheaper, my guess is they might give it to you.
It makes commercial sense for them to do it but i guess it might have to be in writing.
You can always give up something you don't think you need and have a chat with them. Nothing wrong to do that. The worst is that you still have to end up doing or buying them yourselves.
Life is all about communication :)
Maybe we can start a thread and discuss on the potential problems that might happen and ask for changes if we can get the bulk to agree.

My opinion is that the place is lovely for young couples without kids, single staying with parents.
It is too small for family with kids unless you bought the 3 rooms unit.
The location is excellent and overall food around the area is great. (although i have to admit that the soy bean Yong He standard is getting worse)
The only problem is with the hook**s which might not be a problem for some.

Haha, you're right! Used to think it was nice to have it just a stone throw away but given the price and quality, it's become a non-issue ...

I have been having this for > 20 years. I remember those days where I used to go there during the World Cup period where you have one match at 11pm while the other start at 3pm.
Those days were definitely more colourful.
Personally, I believe that this area will soon have a "red light junction". Any units after Lorong 16 to the Junction will be where the "professional" will be carrying out their work.
Housing price is so expensive nowadays. If you get a > 1,500 psf unit, how much do you expect to gain?
Any idea what range would the maintenance be monthly?
agent told me about $150-250 but take it as a pinch of salt.
Any idea how big is the pool?
I find maintenance on the high side since there aren't many facilities.
However, there are not a lot of units too.
agent said 25m.
prospectus put as estimated 50sqm.
if its 50sqms and its 25m long...that mean the width is only like 2 m?? :scared-4:

thks for the pics :) I jus realised that i did not open up the fridge to see how small it is.... ahhaha..
Do u guys not think that the wardrobes are kinda small.. ? plus there is no store room, where to put barang barangs??
:confused:
small fridge means stock up less food, less junk food, more visit to Sheng Shiong nearby and dont cook at home.
but well guess u can buy a bigger fridge but that will take up space.

If your prospective tenant(s) is or are person or people who indulge in the D14 trade, will you rent to that tenant(s) (assuming the tenant(s) is or are agreeable to your price)?

What trade is that? D14 has many different trades like coffeeshops, durian sellers, banks, religious buildings, markets offices, brothels, massage parlours etc...

Happens to me too. The developer should be in some shit. Did you ask CPF what should be the stamp duty then?
Shouldn't it be based on the sum after the goodwill amount?
How can 2 government takes 2 different prices as purchase price for their advantage.
I want to write in. Anyone interested?

u didnt inform bank agent of the 10% discount? My lawyer even asked me to declare the 10% discount. I did n the loan is based on total amt after discount given so that means im not caught in ur situation.

Chey, this is not the first time it's happening; the media has been reporting this and SPF have been making press releases of such but I can assure you come back the next day, this area will look as if nothing has changed.
I welcome raids and arrest of streetwalkers but they do not solve the root of the problem. Homeowners, your current and future neighbours can freely lease their units to vice operators. The brothel operators are relatively safe from the police. How often do you read brothel operators are arrested and even charged and then given a heavy sentence? No?
Until these processes are addressed, I am not hopefully this area, at least Lorong 24 will be 'cleaner', let alone, 'the true value will explode in the next 5 years'.
I have been a resident here for the last four decades and have been pressuring the authorities to do the right thing, encountering obstacles after obstacles. I'm still fighting for a safer home for myself, my aging mom and my few neighbours. Hence I find statements saying this place will be cleaned up are simply incredible and irresponsible.
I'm not asking you to prove me wrong; you can't. Only the authorities can do it and they know how. The ball in is their court.
Adam,
U cannot blame the landlord for renting the house to vice operators ...i believe , According to the signed tenancy agreement, any immoral activities shall not be carried out within the apartment unit...Hence, if the tenant has decided to carry out vice activities in the apartment...is not the fault of the landlord....

ADAM, if u want to eradicate vice at your place, u should let the developer enbloc your house....let the developer to build a new condo at your place...with this, the price of the condo at Lorong 24 will shoot up to $2,000.00/sqft...

Last time and now is different. Last time not so many enbloc, now lots of enbloc with new apartments. So things might change for the better. Get developer to enbloc Jalan Suka and Jalan Molex as well, it will be even cleaner for Lor 24.:ashamed1:
UNLESS the vice operator is making use of the whole apartment instead of the landed ppty that they are using now, then will be jialat liow.:scared-3:
i doubt the operators will buy 1 entire block of condo to do business la.
last time can use terrace houses to host but enbloc liao, they have to find somewhere to house these chickens. condo too expensive n too good life for these cheap chickens.

Now I throw the ball back to you since you're addressing me directly. Since when did I say, you claimed that Geylang will clean up? That's misquoting me and don't think that is responsible.
Anyway, it's clear our agendas are very different, if you even bother to follow what has transpired so far in this thread.
Clearly our agendas are different; you seemed to be more interested in ROI while we're more concerned with safety. Hence there's no point prolonging this debate as it goes nowhere, upsetting everyone.
I stand by what I said and as usual, my usual friendly advice to all prospective investors and as well interested home-buyers remain: before you buy your property here, really do your homework and for those of us who have bought it, do think through what you can do now to pressure the authorities to take the right actions to manage vice activities here which takes a lot of time and effort. It is already far more complicating for a resident to learn and 'appreciate' over the years, let alone for newcomers.
As for rontan_83, I rest my case.
At the end of day, it's safer streets to all and better

Maybe i am mistaken. You quoted my post and said "You". I guess you are making a general statement and not referring specifically to me. If so I apologise.
Regardless, I think what you are doing for Lor 24 is applaudable. I wish you all the best.
Adam is really doing something great to rid the place of vice, STDs, violence and crime. You have my support for what you are doing.

Since a few policy think 5k is easy to earn, u must know the risk as a landlord.
- tenant of such character may default on rental
- they may peddle drug, operate loan shark n gambling on ur premise.
- ppl die in ur house due to sex drug or heart attack whatever.
- house illegal immigrants.
- stay put n dun leave ur house.
End of the day, landlord gets prosecuted as well. Not worth the risk unless above are ur own business.

As stated in the S&P agreement, the expected TOP date is December 2018...do u think the developer will drag the construction ? Can it be TOP in 2015?..seems like the site is yet to be hoarded up..this is worrying me
i m not in urgent to stay. meanwhile earn n save $$ before the full mthly payment kicks in.

Yes, its Vernon.

I also think he is a nice guy but just doesn't seems to be able to help on the loan problem. This thing might just get bigger and bigger.

Dear All,
I have called the architect for this project this morning...According to the architect, the demolition works will commence by end of July 2013.. For foundation works, it is expected to be completed by End December 2013....
The targeted TOP date is March 2015.

Foundation works so fast, like that must prepare the 10% soon.:scared-3:

If you loan from the bank 80%, the bank will disburse it and you repay the bank monthly using CPF or cash.
my bank loan will kick in when the 5% for the partition walls come in
the first 40% must be in cash $$$$$$ :2cents: :2cents: :scared-4:

80% that's where the problem lies :p
Hi, isn't there progressive payments for the 80%?

Sorry I meant the problem is I didn't borrow 80% so like Babyt I will start paying when they start calling for the funds. Sorry if I caused any confusions :D

BabyT....put it for what...u can only see chicken touting for client....it is an eyesore

The balcony is so small. Have to swing inside loh.

For the benefits of all those affected,
(A) Purchase Price (Before Discount) : S$750k
(B) Discount -10% : S$75k
(C) Discount : S$10k
(D) Purchase Price (After Discount) : S$665k
1. Stamp Duty + Additional Stamp Duty (5%) (If for investment)
(A) is being used as purchase price.
Stamp Duty = S$54,600
(D) is being used as purchase price.
Stamp Duty = S$47,800
Under common practice, (A) is being used as purchase price
2. Bank Loan
(A) is being used as purchase price in the bank loan.
80% = S$600,000 (Need to pay S$150k upfront)
(D) is being used as purchase price in the bank loan.
80% = S$532,000 (Need to pay S$218k upfront)
We thus have a scenario where IRAS charge a stamp duty on the higher
purchase value (not beneficial to buyer) and MAS restricting the loan amount to a lower value (not beneficial to buyer) which is atrocious but is a reality and common practice.
Also, the difference in the bank loan has to be topped up fully when the first 10% is being called up. (S$68k as above) and is NOT to be topped up progressively. (advised by the lawyer). This is because MAS has a regulation that full purchase price has to be contracted via a bank loan with the difference in cash.
Hope this help.

Wow, I was at Geylang that morning to have my dim sum at Lorong 17, then later went to Lorong 28. Never went to Lorong 24 on that morning which I normally did if I go to Geylang to see my uc apartment.

It's for people who wants to rent it out.
If you put a door at the stairs and one after the small kitchen, then you can rent out as 2 complete master bedroom with toilet of its own.
sis iris no need to pass thru 24 to visit your uc prj rite...
No need. Normally we will either turn in from Lor 30 or Lor 31. Depending on which way we come from (Guillermard or Sims).
Sign.... your 1 bedder has 2 toilets whereas my 2 bedder has 1 toilet only.;)
I convert 1 toilet to bedroom lor. :D then I have 3 bedders.

cassia is too near to main rd which is also a rather busy one at that. so will be noisy. new launches always launch at high price so it will boost up the pricing of the area.

No progress for #1 Loft... it seems that the old tenant contract still not yet end.
The only progress is Edenz Loft.
Yesterday went there to see see look look... around 3pm... saw quite a number of heavy trucks....
To my surprise... there are not a single "chick" standing on the road of Lor 24... ( I did not went into Jalan Suka and Jalan Molek)
I went to the main road again and walk down to Lor 16 then back to Lor 24... that about 3:30PM... no chick at all... it is really rare to see quiet Lor 24... I only see some "hamsup" man standing on the road...
Hopefully the recent active raid and the heavy construction drive them out...
Makes sense. Better not add on extra "dust" and "soot" to their already heavy makeup lol.

Hi Lemon Chamomile,
May I know which level are u staying?
Babyt is not owner of one loft...he is property agent.....hahahahaha....hi agent babyt, thanks for your video clip on ikea furniture....really useful information..
hi everyone,
I think someone is crazy here? keep accusing me of being agent just because im not concern why 1loft has yet to start work? (LIKE AS IF I CAN DO ANYHTING ABOUT IT?)
someone may be first time property owner, that does not mean everyone here needs to behave like him...
be sensible, developer is not going to speed up completion for u just because u have a louder voice. When u sign the agreement, u take the LEGAL COMPLETION 2018 as it. if they really hand over in 2018, u suck thumb.
I wouldn't bother much w a faceless forummer. at least I shown my face w mask.

long story short, i brought the last unit @ #1 loft recently as the previous buyer back out due to loan issue. So on 2 separate occasion when i was there, i chat with 2 different agent and obtain the same information. given the fact that all units are fully sold, i believe the information provided are more or less confirmed.

Here’s a few reason:
First of all I like the layout and concept of #1 loft despite that that the exterior looks extremely horrifying.
The layout will be suitable for renting out if I am not staying there anymore.
If you ever notice, quite a number of condos are sprouting up all over geylang, in a few years time, the landscape of geylang will change vastly.
The proximity of the building to mrt and city is another consideration.
Hence it is a good investment.

Hi, I also bought a unit at #6.
Do you need to obtain a bank loan? I got a SIBOR linked lobang.
Trying to earn some referral fee. :)
Someone reviewed this place. What do you think?

Paya lebar airbase will be moved eventually. I m sure the height limit will be removed in Geylang. Do u think our loft1 can benefit in future? Our units are freedoms n smack in between paya lebar n city hall. :-)

so just announce airbase move out.....wat it mean for geylang....
so just announce airbase move out.....wat it mean for geylang....
Meaning Geylang area will not be restricted for the building height of all the condo ....hence, in the future, there will high rise condo in geylang...is very attractive for en-bloc.
But they are under conservation...isnt it....
unless they move geylang prostitutes.too....like they move the planes...

Conserved parts are the shophouses fronts. The adjoining complexes can be up to 8 storeys. If ht restriction removed perhaps can become 11 storeys or more like those in River Valley.
But they are under conservation...isnt it....
unless they move geylang prostitutes.too....like they move the planes...
Last time lorong 28 also got brothel..now all enbloc and become private condo area liao
dont think we will live to see high rise buildings springing up in Geylang any sooner.
many new projects up to 8 storey high are scattered in the lorongs. too new to enbloc and the airbase wont be moved out any sooner.
i dont foreseen a high rise modern building sticking beside my attic penthouse.
however, because ours are freehold, u can leave the property to ur kids and maybe they will live to see the enbloc happening.
BabyT,,, do u think the price for one loft will soar in the future?ur advice, please
Passed by today, saw the area has been wrapped up by canvas.

rontan83,
ppl chided 1loft comes w 2 toilets, easy to rent to chickens.
now HDB going come out w 4 bedrooms w 3 bathrooms...does that mean chickens will find it more affordable to rent such HDB flat than 1loft? somemore 3 bathrooms...LOLOLOLOL :D
they sld move their biz to Yishun.
The beauty of 1loft is that every bedroom can become a rm with ensuite.. Even the living room and common bath can be enclosed to become a bedrm with ensuite... ie. 1br with 2 baths can be converted to 2 rms with ensuites.. And 3brs with 4 baths can be converted to 4 bedrms with ensuites.
BabyT,
My replies below in red.
rontan83,
ppl chided 1loft comes w 2 toilets, easy to rent to chickens.Its good to have toilet attached with each bedroom....Buying 560sqft unit means buying 2 nos of master bedroom...We can occupy 1 room, another master room can be rented out....it is dual key concept....Monthly installment is only $1800 to own this condo, if we rent out 1 master bedroom at $1300, we only pay 500 dollars for the mortgage loan, its really worth it...
now HDB going come out w 4 bedrooms w 3 bathrooms...does that mean chickens will find it more affordable to rent such HDB flat than 1loft? somemore 3 bathrooms...LOLOLOLOL :D No comment

Mine is penthouse so I have problem renting the master room separately as the prospective tenant is not able to use the open balcony for storage.
