The Quartz @ Buangkok (99LH By Guocoland)

[TQ1]

What are you on then?

Hi,

I am on DPS as I bought it during the Q1 2007 launch, but already secured the loan before I signed the OTP.

Why need a FH? It is for loser that lack of security in life.
Property is an asset that come with maintenance costs and this cost scale exponentially against age. FH or LH this costs are the same.



I am only stating the costs to maintenance an aged property is the same for LH and FH.

You are referring to the value of the property. If you are comparing two projects, one LH and one FH with some design, same layout, same location. Of course FH has more value then LH. But that is not a possible scenario in life.

Value of property defend on a lots of factors. The most important factor is Location. Maybe the age is one of the last few factor that are being considered in the bank valuation.

So why put the least important factor as 1st priority when buying a property?

The Banks are the one placing lease as a priority.... and you do need them when it comes to a loan....

[Cot]

But in real whole, will you purchase a FH, which is already 70years old or will you purchase a 99 leasehold which is newly build?

The fact is all Banks do that. And valuers do it. Even CPF board will take issue with remaining lease period for HDB resales purchase application.

Location as you mentioned is indeed another parameter considered in granting loan. As to importance of which will take precedence over another parameter, very much depends and should be looked together in its entire context.

Anyway, congrats on getting a unit at The Quartz. A quick stroll will end up at MRT in less than 5 mins. NTUC and foodcourts close by offers tremendous convenience.

Of course the remaining duration of lease do play a part. But is it not the first priority.

And our discussion is it really that important to buy a FH vs LH for own stay. To be fair, we are comparing 99 yrs LH with FH.

FH or LH? Good question. Both have their own + or - points. At the end of the day, it still boil down to one most important question. How much you like the project.

I like it, that why I am a proud owner of the Quartz. Congrat to all buyer of the Quartz. Hope to see all of you soon.

[CrAzY]

Just a question, do you see any lease hold property in singapore finished the 99 year lease?

[gohsoonk]

560psf. I was told that TOP is likely to be in June.
Anyone else can share some of their ID packages?

Maybe we can team up to push for better packages. This is the right time for buyer to bargain.

Actually, 560 psf is the min. price. The unit I am looking at is priced at 650 psf. About 1421 sq ft. Expensive.

That is the best stack for the project. It is directly face adult pool. Developer will definitely want to sell those unit at high price.

In fact 560psf is not the lowest. There are some units facing north west selling lower then that price. Maybe it was taken by the time you reach there.

[kal]

my fren just bought a 3bedder at 600k..facing north.. congrats congrats..

Don't be fool by the master plan. Govt just lost 100B, almost equal to 40% of last year GDP.

At most they are only going to revamp the lake in near future. Having hotels in jurong east is not going to happen in 10 yrs time.

If you want to talk about development in future, you only have a lake.. We going to have a water activities in Punggol leh. And we can reach Orchard/City faster then u.

[thestudio]

just went to have a look, very good layout. imagine a 1057sqft with 3 room. not much wastage of space.

stack 20 going for about $580 psf.

very attractive. but i am looking for FH.

was worried about the holding price of a 99yr property. me still thinking... and weighing the options.... sigh
