Beware of Dishonest Property Agents!

[Aquablade]

Hi all, it seems like the particular property agency running My Manhattan is artificially inflating the rental prices when they show the units to potential tenants. Also they seem to be claiming deals are done at prices that seem strangely higher than the market rates.  Very dubious indeed.

Please be very careful and do your due diligence when dealing with them, and do check the rental caveats at the URA website for an accurate guide! Remember, rental prices in Spore dropping and not otherwise. So don't these agents try to hoodwink you otherwise!

The doc: Woffles Wu

The beef: Negligence

This is not Dr Woffles Wu’s year.

In April, the famed local plastic surgeon was suspended from practice for four months for getting his employee to take the rap for his speeding offences in 2005 and 2006, and now he is being sued by a patient for alleged negligence.

Real estate agent Cheryl Soh had consulted Dr Wu in May 2011 about her visible eyebags, but claimed she was persuaded to undergo facial treatment instead.

The 47-year-old was given Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment and used a Cosmelan Peeling Mask, which caused her face to become red, swollen and painful. As a result, she took a longer-than-expected time to recover and suffered a loss of earnings.

Soh returned to see Dr Wu twice the following month and also sought treatment at other clinics for her condition. She was later diagnosed by a physician as having bad skin burn caused by her facial treatment, and is now seeking a refund of about $5,000 in fees paid to Dr Wu and $400,000 for loss in earnings.

In defence documents filed last month, Dr Wu said Soh sought treatment to improve the skin condition of her face, and not her eyebags.

He added that Soh was offered several treatment options but she went with the IPL and mask treatment as she wanted visible results within the shortest time.

Dr Wu also argued that Soh did not follow the post-treatment regimen. Not only was she "over-enthusiastic" in applying prescribed creams, Soh also used products from other doctors at the same time, causing the "chemical burn".

A High Court pre-trial conference is due next week.

what is the Market rate ?
what was manhattan quoted to you ?


I am curious

when I check rental for 3 bedroom at pasir panjang area... Horizon Residences is much higher than the neighbouring condos ...

I can understand that ..as HR is newer, pricier ( Far east project always more expensive).

since owner bought it more expensive, their rental price also a lot higher...



is Manhattan a similar case ?
