I actually like wire fence. can grow creepers to make the estate looks very green.. another thing is the air/wind circulation effects partly is because I am always complaining hot, hot, hotOriginally Posted by Jcmillineum

I suspect measures like that will cause the rental rates to go up as foreigners will seek to rent rather than buy at exorbitant rates. Hence, people will be resistant to selling, and thus will still drive the property prices up no matter what...! silly...Originally Posted by scsc
I think that is the plan, they are growing creepers on the wire fence. Soon people can't see through into the development liaoz.Originally Posted by stl67

Rental rates is a tricky question.Originally Posted by Jcmillineum
"Wanna buy to stay but hit by ABSD, so LL stay in rental place".
My first foremost thought was this too BUT after thinking over, this scenario will only hold if renters still have job & Spore economy still vibrant. If world economy sucks, likewise goes for Spore & likewise those flowery jobs that offer big paycheck. They may not wanna pack their bags BUT ask to malik kampong. (IMO, they are much preferred than those overseas speculators that juz come here to fry our tiny island)
On yr 2nd point, the majority by resisting to sell will not cause PPI to go up. When the scenario of Extreme FEAR arrives, the little minority will have weak legs & gradually creating a domino effect. No need to argue about this point, we can sit down & observe the Euro facing this situation.
That gona to take, 2 , 3 years for the creepers to become fully bushy?Originally Posted by azeoprop
With regards to TOP, the weather is surely not helping. How to work outdoors like that??
Just passed by the site this morning, after a long time, and I must say a lot of work has been done since then. There was this SUPER BIG aluminium-type signage shouting out "Meadows@Peirce". Landscaping is also almost completed.
Anyway, I was reading an old thread from Skyscrapercity and I saw a picture showing the Project Information... it said Expected Date of Completion: 1 April 2011.
See http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=20774293
Today received letter from Bank telling me they have dispersed 60%.
So now left 2 more:
Notice of Vacant Possession: 25%
On Completion Date: 15%
It's disbursed, not dispersed... sorry, my bad.
Can it be possible that the last 5% before TOP (for carpark, etc) coincide with the dispersion of the 25% for TOP, ie dispersing 30% at one go?Originally Posted by maseratiq2
The last disbursement will be 1 year after TOP....Originally Posted by ysyap
Thx. I'm referring to the 5% for carpark inspection, not the final 15% a year after TOP.Originally Posted by evilllll
Booking Fee (Cash) – 5%
Sales & Purchase Agreement (CASH / CPF) – 15%
Foundation – 10%
Reinforced Concrete – 10%
Brick Walls – 5%
Ceiling / Roofing – 5%
Electric Wiring / Plumbing – 5%
Carparks / Roads / Drains – 5%
Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) – 25%
Certificate of Statutory Completion (CSC) – 15%
Thank you for providing this information. So will developers ever collect the 5% for carparks/roads/drains together with the 25% for Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) together?Originally Posted by maseratiq2
I think all have been collected.
Now the next payment is upon TOP. 25%
Then final 15% is upon CSC.
No wonder I failed my English, cant express myself well.. Lol! I'm not referring to this project. I'm saying for any other developers. Can developers collect 30% at one go?Originally Posted by maseratiq2
not the norm leh. u kenna before?

Hmmm...Originally Posted by bargain hunter
It wil be based on the specified terms of milestone payment, and at the hand of the bankers/lawyer.Originally Posted by ysyap
Owner in fact have to say except that need to have the required fund in the account...
Possible .... Depend on the pre arrangement before contract , most developer follow Market norms..Originally Posted by ysyap
Usually they preferred to break up for easy claim, if two conditions are tied into one payment and any held of the condition will delay their claim process...
Thank you for your answer...Originally Posted by zzz1
went to check it out yesterday morning........took a closer look at the back where my unit is. looks like quite certain the cheapo wire fence is here to stay. what is more troubling are the back gates. I certainly hope those are temporary until the security system is installed and entry/exit is via access card rather than the good ol' lock & key??? it looks like what u see at kampungs leh......
the banglas look like they are rushing for time......wet weather they are still frantically working and one nite I even saw them painting although I wonder how they can see whether they are painting properly.....
I drive past there quite often. Frankly the facade looks like students' hostel and the sunken land plus wire fence didn't help. In addition, the traffic along Upper Thomson road is heavy and the vehicles have to accelerate against a slight slope at the traffic junction. Fortunately the owners didn't pay very high psf for this condo.Originally Posted by KarenK
A much better designed and located condo is The Calrose, which is nearby. I'm not vested there.

Agree. This facade looks a little too sanitized. I drove past the site today. No creepers on the fence line...Originally Posted by hyenergix
A new cluster house is going to be launched nearby... any other feedback on the vicinity?
Which is that?
