Yes ... I vaguely recall the maroon wardrobe with a rubbery texture, but that could be for the bigger units. Maybe can call up UOL to clarify. 2yrs ago, they didn't allow me to take photos in the showflat, not even the model

I started to talk to a couple of IDs and ID did asked me about the wardrobe color - but anyone know if it's going to be maroon color? (The ID also ask if i know which maroon shade........)

If I take Dakota residences as a guide, its 2 bedders is about 4.5k +/-. Pretty much the same as my RCR condo at Lavendar. So I believe studio should be around the same? Which is 3.5 to 3.8k?

IMO, best stack will be stack 1 for studio. Stack 24 for 1+1. Must be above 5th floor though if not, no view. Unfortunately, I can only get a stack 30 for my studio during launch but still better than nothing.

2 bedrooms, nothing fantastic. For 3, 4, DK units, most are pretty okay above 5th floor I would say because it is unblocked to ECP but no seaview I guess.

Think there is no significantly better stacks ... Stack 1 may have unblocked view but nothing fantastic to look at in that direction. I thought your stack 30 is the best cos u get to see the river and also faces the ecp, albeit at an angle ...

As for those facing river, I would prefer those facing south-west than those facing south-east .. Cos there is a chance to see the flyer and mbs if high enough (right in front are all landed ppties anyway). Stack 24 will see the pub pump house and also CCHS

Squall8888

08-04-13, 22:38

Nope, stack 30 is pretty much blocked. Unless you stand very near the windows or balcony. About 45 degrees east. My first choice is stack 1 but no more high floor so I took a high floor stack 30 instead.

I remember 2 bedrooms are facing each other and those lower floors are facing the carpark. I would avoid those stacks if you ask me.

As for 1+1, I was considering stack 24 because stack 24 doesn't have west sun and it is the only 1+1 without an adjacent block and stack 24 is the highest priced among the 1+1 as well. Too bad not enough money, if not, I would have brought 2 units instead.

08-04-13, 22:49

I would prefer stack 13 for 1+1 though .....

I think there are linking bridges between every floors of the mscp to blk 78 & 80 ... So quite convenient for those lower floor units for these 2 stacks, be it to access the cars or lap pools

patrickchng

09-04-13, 09:40

Can block 78 be able to have the city view? I noticed that the two big trees can grow as tall as 8 floor.

East Lover

09-04-13, 10:29

Can't wait for ur key collection. So we can verify your 'prediction' of the view with actual units :D :D

Don't trust pptyguru listings. There were already countless of listings since a yr ago. I tried to get a subsale last yr but ended up most of the agents have no unit, or the owners were jus trying to test the market.

09-04-13, 22:56

Yah, pptyguru sucks. Non existence units only or bullshit agents telling you that 1M dollar unit is sold already but he/she has a better unit but cost 1.1M dollars but still very good value because prices going up.

The only trusted media is still Wed and Sat classified. And your trusted agents of course...

The problem doesnt lie with PGuru...its the agents that are playing punk.

I was looking at some listings for 2 projects and when I called the agents, I can safely say 95% of those that I called, most will say no longer available but their listings had just been refreshed by themselves..It just get to the point of being absolutely frustrating.

Another issue is the data that agents have on hand. Let me give you an eg. I sold my WB unit in Sept 2012 and up till now, I still have agents calling me and wife asking if we are keen to sell/rent our unit. I have been very tolerant but it just gets to the point that they deserve a very good scolding from us nowadays. Recently, interior designers have been calling as well..Dont these people update their records in the very 1st place..

An agent called me and ask if I want to rent out my studio. 3.5k to 4k but they will use it as a service apartment with internet, laundry etc. Is that legal? I will need to sign a 1 or 2 years contract with the company and the company will manage it. Worth it?

well. better include a termination clause in your contract then.
of course terms and condition apply.

if they do illegal stuff, you are still liable, I think.
but I reckon it's more to provide accommodation for short term visitors.
one month, three months type.

Hi! I am new to this forum and I also owned a unit in Waterbank.

Through the email thread, I see that some are informed by the lawyer through phone and some by email. Does anyone being informed via mail. Thanks.

You can just call them and check if they have received the letters. They will normally inform you because you only have 14 days to pay 25% (in my case).

Give them time to prepare your unit otherwise, you may see what you may not want to see

Have you receive your lawyer's notification on key collection?

My law firm secretary said this, "Keys collection can only be collected upon clearance of your cheques and upon payment of 25% of the purchase price from the bank.* I won’t be able to request the payment from the bank earlier as we are required to furnish to the bank a strict seven (7) clear working days to request for payment.* As such, 13.06.2013 is the earliest date I can request payment from the bank."

Is there really that 7days thingy?

Some banks need 7 working days. No way around it. Mine also 7 days with OCBC.

I was very disappointed when I first saw the sneak pics taken by some id firms a couple months back... But finally today I see the real stuffs. The quality is much better than I have expected, phew! So fellow wb owners, don't worry.

Some of the wardrobes and shoe cabinets have thus leather texture, albeit awful in brown. The following is the close up photo:

i tried to upload some photos but it won't load. I spotted minor defect only, no major stuff.

Quality is good and there is a cash voucher awaiting owners upon collecting keys. Voucher is depend on unit size.

Hi Lovelle, just wondering what kind of minor defect you noticed?
But glad to know there's no major defects. :)

Lovelle

10-06-13, 11:50

just minor paint job on door and wall.

Also, there is a complimentary safe box for all..

TheOnlyGayInTheVillage

10-06-13, 12:42

Developer free gift safe box. I am sure they have good intentions but what kind of lousy marketing message is this?

Are they implying the security fixtures etc are gonna be so unreliable that you cant even feel safe leaving your valuables in your own unit?...

patrickchng

10-06-13, 12:59

Thanks for the photos zeamybro. The unit look bright & windy. Hope to see more photos. What voucher are they giving?

Hi Lovelle .. I did notice quite a fair bit of scratches and chips on the main door and door frames ... Other than that i think the kitchen cabinets, wardrones and toilets are surprisingly decent. Balcony railings v oily.. duno wat they applied....

Squall8888

10-06-13, 14:43

Just got my studio. Quality is good. Only some scratches on my cupboard. Here is my analysis:-

Damn windy, shiok. But need to open both the door and windows for the air to move thru the unit
Pretty unblocked view. Can see Malaysia from my unit
Facilities so so only
Gym is bullshit. 2 treadmills for 600+ units? This is crap
Shelter is bad. It doesn't shelter you from even light rain (imagine when it is heavy). Lucky my unit is in front of the entrance so no need to walk along those useless shelter. Really need to make noise about the shelter !!
Pool looks great. Fantastic

One thing to note:- The day security guards are friendly. The night ones are disastrous. Knock on my door and ask me not to on lights inside the unit (I brought a portable A/C 220V light). They say electricity still paid by mgmt. Eh, is it my problem? I can throw $10 at your face if I wanted to but I kept my cool.

10-06-13, 14:46

Anyone who collected key check out the bbq pit area?
Wonder if these are sheltered......
(Then at least do not need to pack and run halfway if it rains)

i vaguely remember all the gym equipments come in pairs.. 2 x threadmills, 2 x gym bikes or steps machines, 2 x gym balls.. and some weights machines. But i dont think i will use the gym, prob will use the lap pool most and jog around the longkang .. v peaceful and air v fresh.

Squall8888

10-06-13, 15:58

1 weight machine
1 elliptical
1 cycling
2 treadmill

That is all. Pathetic. Even Southbank has 3 treadmills and they have 1/3 units of waterbank.
