Thanks! so did you get SM then?
I always believe value is in the eye of the beholder. If you like what you bought, then it's worth it in your eyes. and next time if you do want to sell it, someone of your same kind of value judgement will also appreciate your unit in the same way.

SM is more complete with fridges, washing machines etc and even marble flooring...then $500k can start wholesale distribution of fridges and washing mahines etc...heard one gal commented to her hubby while the agent went away

The price of the lower floors or those with no view is still palatable but the huge jump in prices for the units with better view at SM is not worth it. I think it is rather foolish to pay 300k more for the 8th flr as compared to the 5th floor with only view of the pool. How often time is someone going to spend sitting at the balcony enjoyingthe view. My bet, after the initial euphoria, no more than 10 minutes a week. For that 300k more? Just foolish.Originally Posted by Emma
The wardrobes are all included for all the bedrooms as well, basically just need to do up the lightings, sofa, dining table and beds only.Originally Posted by Emma

I totally agreed with you. the big balcony is a total waste of money too.Originally Posted by nav14
such saving can made the place more affordable.
....good for you not to have to get use to the hidden chute after all.....but what I said should applies to P3nBoy and other new owners of SM......its actually a good thing because, in making it difficult to throw rubbish, you might be less inclined to throw away things that can be recycled.....SM should be given Green Mark of excellence....once got award...maybe can sell even higher....SomeMore.Originally Posted by Pro888

which new development comes with small balcony?Originally Posted by sunrise
Agree that the hidden chute is kinda inconvenient & difficult to maintain.
But i dun think the cockroaches will crawl out after fuming.
My parents live on a low floor in hdb in Khatib area for more than 20 years. Next to our flat is a coffeeshop area. We have a chute right below the sink too. Never seen a single cockroach after fuming. I hope never ever too. However, i was frightened by a cockroach when i open the chute once(not after fuming lar). Btw, i did find the smell from the chute unbearing. Maybe is becoz my parents live in low level. So i gonna hold my breath every time i open the chute

true as well. but from the floor plan the balcony for this one really is quite large. but if you enjoy scenery etc, maybe you can find creative uses for the balcony. and from what i remember, the balcony of for st pats is quite huge as well. maybe this is the style of this developer? - like a resort theme or something. if you like resort style, scenery etc, you will enjoy this kind of theme i guess.
ps i am not making a statement on whether big or small balcony is good or bad, i guess it's all down to your preference - there is no accounting for taste!

take a look at this
Seen SM showflat (2BR). The common room is really very small.
As for balcony, pls check MR.... MR has big balcony area too. However, the BR size is comfortable. The only down side is, there is NO bomb shelter (aka store room) in case of MR.

Estuary layout sucks lah.

But the view is awesome. Beware of the noise though, coz that stretch of road is pretty busy. Nevertheless, it is walking distance to the coffeeshops, MacDonald and if dun mind walking 15mins, can rch Khatib mrt by foot too.
Are they providing Miele, De Dietrich, Gaggenau appliances? Hansgrohe, Grohe, Bravat fittings?
Or run-of-the-mill mass brands?
Why the rooms are so small?Originally Posted by shareidiot
Actually, dun need to tell them all these. Even if it is 99% perfect (even if only hor), they just continue to nag on the 1% until this thread reaches 100 pages. The most important thing is u like the place & willing to pay for it.Originally Posted by jacelynchia
Same goes to ppl who bought unit/s that is far away from everywhere except west itself like foresque. No views. No future developments. Hall small, rooms are small + many others . Go read up foresque thread.
pple talking abt the link u have posted. You talk abt other things.Originally Posted by sunrise
One forummer mentioned abt your foresque unit small hall, small bdrm +++ many others You asked him to buy PH. Same thing here wat.
U haven't do your homework? Ask u to look & think deeper, but u r getting shallower. Wrong direction liao..
Mind game.
Try to refrain from using foolish or other mean words lah. It is their $$$.Originally Posted by nav14
They have 1001 reasons to buy and u have your own.
with fantastic view value of the property will probably be at least maintained
About 19.3% of the space goes to balcony and AC ledge. Would be more optimal if the percentage is around 12-13%Originally Posted by sunrise
I think 10 minutes walk can reach Liao, not that far!Originally Posted by einnoc
also that it is sideway make it even more headache....
it's about 1.9km walking distance to Katib mrt leh..quite toughOriginally Posted by Kanarazu
That's SM, thought I was referring to Estuary.Originally Posted by Komo
Do they provide shuttle service to the mrt the 1st couple of years?Originally Posted by Komo
When I was at SM the sales people was hard selling like anything...that was 1 week before preview...and they already saying famous feng shui master buying
When I heard the price, I asked since the developer paid a lower price whichnresultbin break even price of 450 to 550 psf, and the average asking is 1200, what..aside from the view (which is notbprovided by developer) will the developer do different since the premium is so much, almost double what it will cost them.
Fitting is normal branded, fridge dun cost so much, facilities are normal.
They cannot even tell me is the civil engineer local or some Japanese expert, main con not confirmed and QS not confirmed.
I ask if cut cost to maximize profit and appoint china or Indian company how? After all which business is not profit hungry. Unlikely...but can happen right?
Reaction of agent suggest they are all talking up to increase psf price, at buyers' expense.
Decided to wait and look at other alternative investments...afterlll I feel global recession 3.0 is coming a no it will not be the last
