Dear Mr
Thank you for your feedback. We have investigated and confirmed that the caveat of this unit at Southbank was lodged after the sub-purchaser signed fresh agreement with the developer. However, in lodging the caveat, the sub-purchaser quoted the price paid by the original purchaser instead of the sub-sale price. We have therefore removed the record since it does not reflect the actual transaction price. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Regards
Customer Support, Property Research Section

Sent a email to URA ask them check whether the transacted price is correct. The last time I sent a email to them they told me the buyer chose to declare a lower price.

I read from some bros here that The Sail has been having maintenance challenges due to the sheer size and high percentage of tenants (non owners) staying and using the facilities... Perhaps owner had enough dont wanna be saddled with huge maintenance cost years down the road...Originally Posted by kasparov
actually the first owner sell so low in 08....LOLOriginally Posted by dtrax
Most fxxked up maintenance i've experienced. worse than hdb
80% of the managing council
are property agents, mostly managing rentals. champion msct
ROIC is even better.Originally Posted by Rysk
20% downpayment is 800psf*20% = 160psf.
Profit is 1600psf - 800psf = 800psf.
ROIC (ignoring all cost) = 800/160= 500%
I am new to the sail. May i know what is the problem?Originally Posted by gfoo
planning to sell mine... Hmmmmm
Y r u selling, care to share?Originally Posted by oda
whole place is falling apart; security problems; people using it as condotel; maintenance problem; central chute problem; usage issue in common areas due to poor planning; etc etc. i just sold mineOriginally Posted by Jadey
This is bad.
好看不好吃 indeed.
I wonder if Reflections @ Keppel Bay will face similar problems... or any of those CBD high-rise apartments like Lumiere, Clift, One Shenton, MBR and the many more similar to come.
Only the Sail, as it was sold low and built when cost of materials was the highest in singapore's history due to sand ban and inflationary scare.
mbr and one shenton much much better
sail is purely a location play. everything else is no better than hdb

Because the Sail has become a condotel which you can rent for days like a hotel, some time last year it became a hotspot for arab medical tourists.
imagine entire extended families staying in one unit - grandmother, grandfather all the way to grandkid.
arabic culture is such where the women and men need not necessarily eat together or commune together. Imagine tea time, 5 womenfolk, 2 kids and a baby would be sitting crossed legged in the common events room facility, tiffin and tea spread on the carpeted floor, kids lying on the floor being fed and taking naps, granny taking nap, while the other women are chatting eating betel nut thingies.
The menfolk will be in the other tower doing the same thing. why, cos their condotel unit cannot fit all of them communing at the same time.
every fireworks festival and NDP, agents managing empty units or condotels will invite their father mother grandfather and their distant relatives to converge on the Sail and watch fireworks. Security measures cannot stem the huge tide of bodies.
worse thing is, the MCST is almost all comprising of agents holding proxies, not genuine owners or residents. thus they will always gun for the cheapest possible maintenance fees and thus undermaintain the estate - as long as the place doesn't collapse.
i've since moved to d9 - many many expat rentals here too but mainly angmoh and jap families renting long term, and the rest indon owners - and because no condotel shit here thus things are soo much better taken care of.
I SCREAM ICE-CREAM!
Sorry to hear about that bro gfoo. Hope you got a good price for it as compensation for the pain you went thru...
market driven economy to the max ... CSR comes to mind
Ride at your own risk !!!
the only thing i miss are the nude puffies on weekends at the pool and having a Harry's downstairs
correct... even carpark privileges are taken away from resident owners to sell to public so as to minimize monthly maintenance costs.Originally Posted by phantom_opera
this is a pure 100% investment play.... i have actually come to admire how profit can push people to ignore living conditions. if i wasn't an owner-occupier, i wouldn't have given two hoots too imho
no pain milord, it was quite fun in my 2.5 years there. It was only in the last 6 month leg that the crowds started streaming in and condotel business went out of hand. I was the first of my neighbours to sell. 5 more have done so sinceOriginally Posted by TheOnlyGayInTheVillage
is living condition that bad?Originally Posted by gfoo
median rental psf for Sail has been constant for the past year.
even higher than median rental for One Shenton.

Illegal but you complain gov agency you need proof, then they will say MC already empowered to deal with them using by-laws, MC can get court order directly for enforcement.
So you need iron-will MC members who are resident-owners. Don't think MCs made up of proxies who are agents will do that?

excerpts from that thread
"In a statement yesterday, OUE said it decided to terminate Ideal's lease because the company sub-let illegally partitioned rooms and did not comply with URA's enforcement notice.
URA, meanwhile, said it acted because of the unauthorised use of the Grangeford. It said it did so in response to public complaints."
The initiator is public complaints, which led to URA taking action, which led to OUE taking action.
you made a million just like that i am sure no pain at allOriginally Posted by gfoo
I am rich in debts...
correct somemore most of the mcst run condotel operations. where got neutrality?Originally Posted by felicia_sg
Not really that bad. It has been pretty good for the past 4 years or so staying there. But the condotel thingy needs to be clamped down.

It is really a pity. It can be called a sailotel. How about MBR?
