u r rite....I'm just tearing down the upper wall....and no issue with the cooker/hob.

as for the sink, I had neber tot of the water splashing out....for open concept and dry kitchen, that is always the case....like ppl always say ai shui mai mia..wahahaha...still considering lah.....

ok i know what u mean now. there is supposed to be a wall dividing the kitchen and dining and now u want to tear down that wall down to make it open concept correct? Hob at its original position got a backing so no problem. Just in case u want to know why must hv backing....according to fengshui a stove without backing will lead to couple fighting, family having no peace and money problems.

I like this concept and i would probably do the same as well. Just wondering...nothing to do with fengshui lah. With your sink "exposed" water will splash to the dining floor when washing dishes. u thought of that?

driftwave, which part of the world you are at now???

yeah, "must-visit"-website for me too

[driftwave]

wow...u also flipping ah?.... yes....as far as I know its 1%-2%...depending on which company....if desperate for biz...some may go 0.5%....

Hi crazyclub members

Any idea how much do we need to pay agent for selling a condo unit?
I know the recommendation is 1 - 2 %
But I remember reading in the papers, its up to sellers and agent to negotiate. so what's the norm?

[driftwave]

a bunch of HDB in punggol also built by some china construction company as well....the newer ones next to MRT are all local company....formerly mine from Sim Lian..hahaha.....now ppl built condos already...hehehe.....

China Construction is now constructing UWC at tampines as well.
Seems like they are getting lots of project.
Heard that they are fast & cheapest.

Ris Grandeur was by them too but did not hear any problem as yet.

Are they that bad or just that we did not notice other contractors...

Hope that HyTech Builders do a good job...

Livia is by Hyundai... seemed very professional when past by there.
Site office very well done.

[driftwave]

yes u can but then how do the moderator verify if its the actual owner of the unit?

I think the moderator or the forum adminstrator can block the user when non WFW owner register in the forum.

[driftwave]

have to really understand what the agent meant by not having pay extra....in fact, everyone don't need to pay extra for the list price...just tat with Progressive payment, u pay lesser....get wat I meant by playing with words? Unless they Agent say same price for IAS and Progressive payment.....so b careful.....one other thing is, if pay by progressive payment, u start paying now and increase little by little over the months....for IAS, its like HDB style....u pay a fixed installment upon key collection.....but then HDB loan is flat rate, where as private loan depends on int rate fluctuation....so usually IAS are meant for investors where the intent is to sell just b4 T.O.P, whatever they pay is just the 5% cash upfront.

the key thing is, u pay now or later, u still have to pay....so its very up to the individual. By paying later means u have $ now to invest and ensure that you are able to gain bk the diff in int later on when ur loan start.

No need to pay extra with IAS scheme? That's good.
Did you get your unit before their starbuy promotion? When I got my unit in April this year, buyer has to pay a premium of 2-3% extra for IAS scheme. Think most of us who got our starbuy units likely to opt for NPS.

For IAS, buyer will only start to service the loan when developer has issued Temporary Occupational Permit of the Property. This is why developer will usually charged a premium of 2-3% extra on the purchased price to cover the interest over the period from construction to TOP. Developer also borrow money from bank for construction.


If your loan is pegged to sibor, than you are taking their Market-Pegged Rate Package. Any lock-in period?

Market-Pegged Rate Packages (SIBOR or SOR pegged)
The rates are either pegged to market SIBOR (Singapore Interbank Borrowing Offer Rate) or SOR (Swap Offer Rate) depending on the packages offered. Such packages are suitable for people who prefer the transparency of market-pegged rates and do not mind its volatility.

[cheahsg]

Just got lawyer letter, installment starting for stack 25 on the 14 August.

[venus]

If wind is no issue then u should do it...it'll be nice. Actually my kitchen layout is quite similar, except that the wall is a glass panel. now u know where I got that idea from Im gonna ask developer not to install the glass panel as I hv the open concept in mind as well. But there is nothing to shield the wind from my hob. If it becomes a problem I will change it to induction hob. Problem solved!

[driftwave]

if ur layout is same as mine and the fridge is by the side of the hob, u can install a small glass panel between the fridge and the hob....this case, the fridge won't be soiled and there are heat protection against the fridge.

oh its similar but not exactly the same. My fridge is next to the sink while yours is next to the hob. Also my hob is closer to the kitchen entrance.

went down to WFW showroom yesterday to check on my kitchen wall. Was shown the actual scaled floor plan, actually the so call wall is not a wall but a glass panel overlooking the dinning room. The design concept is some what similar WFK 2 bedder kitchen. There is a top hung shelves above the sink....the agent ask me to write in to double cfm but tat is at least wat was drawn up initially....sigh....more things to consider now....

btw, a new WFW brochure is in...no more booklet, its in a triple fold binder format showing all the 4 remaining type of units left. Guess what? in the new brochure, the MRT has also been realigned....wahhahaha...passing thru the park instead via the reservoir....but no stations were named in it...

T.O.P officially stated in showroom as 2011. Over 80% sold, left with pool and reservoir facing units.

one other thing is there will be a traffic light realignment, upon the exit from WFW/WFK, there will b a T-junction traffic light to better control the traffic.

WFK sales is doing very well too....they are left with about 2-3 stack unreleased. Other than Reservoir view, majority of the Park and Pool facing are all sold. One of the things that surprise me most is one of the Reservoir facing penthouse was sold to a Indian National at whopping 3M+ !!!! Amazing....seems like we are going to see some rich and famous ppl in the neighbourhood soon...whahahaha.....

[driftwave]

You shall find out in times to come....whahaha....

what were you doing there? what is your expertise?

[driftwave]

TOP was stated 2011 in the showroom (hanging advert by the 3 bedroom) but the new brochure still states 2012 Dec(small print behind).

[noblebaby]

Wow, if the 2011 is true, which is initially stated during first launch... Then when can we move in? By end of 2010 or early 2011... Getting excited...
