Hi,
anyone have idea how to make the window safe without installing windows grille? Those HDB type windows grille do not look nice. I have young children.
YES - Not enough CPF Minimum Sum...sigh.
YES - Need to get higher loan for Condo. Not worth it.
NO - I can get good rental yield. Shiok man.
NO - Other reason.

I don't think there are any choices except either to lock up the glass door or install a low gate (high enough to prevent children to climb over) which you can buy from IKEA.Originally Posted by SIA
Any steel gate provided for the main entrance?
Thanks. Actually I am referring to the windows in the 3 br rather than the planter. if I remember correctly, TQ has a low bay windows. And without installing any window grille, I think any young children can climb up to the windows easily.Originally Posted by TQ1
I was told no gate provided, you can fix 1 if you need. My agent even suggest to me to build a shoe rack since there is some area from the door.Originally Posted by noblebaby
check with renovation contractors on the possibility of having a lock to your windows that could not be removed unless with a key or by unhinging something.Originally Posted by SIA
hi all
anybody knows whens the TOP date? saw fr gucco web, it states 2010.
some agents mentioned that it will be ready by 1st quarter 09. but fr wat i c, its not progressing much. i do chk out its progress every mth. but seems little changes made.
Just to confirm, is the conversion of planter to balcony legal? cos read from URA July Circular that owner needs to pay for the GFA.
No choice lor, since cannot install window grille, either have to lock the window and most important to educate the young children the danger of climbing up the window.Originally Posted by SIA
Some developer do not allow that. But I had checked with the TQ agent and they said install some type of wooden plank is OK. But to lay cement on the planter is not allowed.Originally Posted by Balcony
canot put cement??? then what is on the planter? soil?Originally Posted by TQ1

You have absolutely no common sense!
It is a planter, not a balcony.
Adding more weight adds to the stress to the structure.
The specifications may not allow for such a additional weight.

Unregistered2, please register to this forum and give yourself a nick. Thanks.Originally Posted by Unregistered2
Planter (as the word describe) is for you to put plants onto it. Some owners may not want to use it as a planter but as an "improvise balcony".Originally Posted by noblebaby
For bigger development like TQ, laying cement to convert it to a balcony is not allowed as it will add additional weights to the structure of the building. However, installing wooden plank is OK.
Hope you have some ideas now.
TQ or Livia, same price, which one is better?Originally Posted by TQ1
you should ask yourself: which suits your needs better. no one can answer that question except you. go where your heart is...Originally Posted by TQorLivia
May I ask you if Nokia and Sony Ericsson both come up with a hp model equal in functions and price which one would you buy? I am sure nobody can give you the right answer except yourself.Originally Posted by TQorLivia
1st of all, are you currently staying anywhere near the east/northeast?
If yes, you should all the more be certain whether it is TQ or Livia. If not, I suggest you and your family take some time to go to both locations and look around. Of course, I believe that both locations convienient, with full facilities and nice people.
If you ask people like me, TQ1 or Kennt in this thread, the obvious answer is TQ. LOL!
So good luck and may you make the right decision.

For me, earlier TOP is my first priority. If price drop in the next 1 year, at least to pay the current price, I get to enjoy the condo facilities first. As for Livia, TOP will be much later. So if price go down, it will be really heart pain. Pay higher and yet have not moved in to enjoy the facilities...Originally Posted by TQorLivia
Agreed! which block you bought? at what price?Originally Posted by TQ new owner
Initally thinking of stack 63, end up buying stack 69. PSF after discount is around $700+PSF. Actually more expensive than Livia. Same questions applied on whether you prefer East or North East? To me, I like North east. Then another important factor is the earlier TOP.Originally Posted by Unregistered3333
Hey, the unit you bought at stack 69, is it facing the pool? High or low floor? $700+ after discount - so you mean you bought from developer directly? Thanks in advance for your answersOriginally Posted by TQ new owner
facing swiming pool? $700+ is before the rebate right?Originally Posted by TQ new owner
Right. Pool facing. Low floor. $75X after discount. Before discount is $8XX. Thus Livia is actually lower costs. But Kovan residence will be more ex than TQ. But back to the old answers, both development are still far from TOP thus striking off my lists.Originally Posted by stack 15
Thanks TQ new owner.Originally Posted by TQ new owner
Yes TOP Q109 is definitely the plus point for TQ. Did you just bought it recently? and was it directly from developer? Planning to go to the showroom this weekend

Thanks for the quick reply. Will try to take some picsOriginally Posted by TQ new owner
Thanks in advance for the pics.Originally Posted by stack 15
Yours also pool view right? When did you buy? I think you should be sitting with alot of paper gain right now? Cheers.
your low floor is how low? $75X is quite good price.Originally Posted by TQ new owner
yes mine is also pool view - bought about 2yrs ago at $6XX psf...yes paper gain but our main objective is to move in! no intention of selling as we really like the location and convenience of MRT and now the NTUC and Kopitiam!Originally Posted by TQ new owner
