Vacanza @ East

[CKCPA]

Thanks Global 100 for the additional info.

Before I forget... happy holidays to all!

Remember is 1 yrs only. Even you collect key later. Your warranty still follow based on TOP within 1 years. Not you collect keys 1 year.

I am a property agent myself. A few client oversight and can't claim any things as developer will tell you is already after CSC. I already collected my last 15% from you or your bank. Nothing to do with me anymore.

Is the first batch of key collection for one block only? How long will it be for the first batch before the second?

I'm from blk 46. But have not received the letter of TOP yet. Don't know whether this blk is under batch 1.

Went down today and finally understood the concern on the entrance ... Too wide to be only guarded by security. From what I know, we can make a mass complain to the developer to ask for the barrier/ gate before CSC is issued.. Probably, we can gather our strength now ..
According to guard again, TOP was obtained ytd ? ? ( not sure if correct )

Hi all,

I am quite new to this site. Just wonder if anyone could recommend some shops to buy lights?

Thank you in advance and happy new year!

[kelxz]

We can sue them for such idiotic design? to me its the biggest defect... crap

Hi everyone. The brochure isn't very clear on what lighting will be provided, and what will just be wires hanging from the ceiling.

Anyone have any insight on that?

Thanks!

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the info.

are we required to pay a sum upfront before we can collect our keys?

probably half year's maintenance fees? just guessing.

[Jellybean]

How much is the maintenance fees per month?

This morning visited V@E. A sign board reads "all CCTV in operation...."
but there is no camera along the fencing, neither a sensor. People can easily climb up and cross the side gate without being noticed at night.
And I lastly know the gap between two units is for disabled's access.
Anyone got letter about TOP?

[cdrum]

If I searched correctly, I didn't see the record that Vacanza received TOP in December.

I searched for A1404-00297-2009 on the following site (yes, I went page by page to go through 198 records!)

https://www.bca.gov.sg/eservice/integ_search.aspx --> "Temporary Occupation Permits (TOP) Issued"

Bummer!

[Sharky]

How difficult it'll be to construct an electronic barrier?
Any experts here?

Can we do it after taking over from the developer since HH refused to do it?

Could you post a print screen picture of the TOP record? Thanks.

[DC33_2008]

It is rather insecure as anyone can just jump over the gate with the aid of the railing. You can consider the biometric system with a circular gate that allows only person to pass each time.

I sent through too... don't see it too

[CKCPA]

Hello all,

Just back from vacation and was hoping to get TOP news but alas!!! So, I called HH and spoke to the lady in charge of VE. TOP has been pushed back to mid Jan... reason - paperwork at the authorities... Apparently, the legal TOP date stated in the brochure is Dec 2015. Fortunately, I am not really in a hurry as Q1 will be a crazy period for me. For those that need to speak to HH, their number is 63119555.

Oh, then it means definitely we cannot move b4 CNY.
Time is not problem, but hope they can take the time to improve VE quality.

I was told it's about $335 for 3-room when I signed the OTP, but it's subject to adjust.

the borchure's specification 20.11, CCTV is provided at lobbies at basement and 1st storey, and pedestrian gates.
but I don't see it at pedestrian gates yet at this moment.
wait and see.

I prefer lightings.com.sg the price is transparent. Go visit their shop at jln besar.

Although their prices for lights are transparent, it was a different story when it comes to lights installation. Basically their outsourced lighting guy (some malaysian) turned up and told me of additional charges I need to pay which was not mentioned by lightings.com sales who arranged the installation. Called the sales back and he basically was avoiding the problem. I had to bargain down the installation charges with this electrician and even then it was still ridiculous, e.g. $15 for simple wiring extension for each light, or $7 for plastering over each hole they cut on false ceiling. Quite rubbish as my previous experience with another electrician for a different unit do not come with such hidden charges and cost less.

I suggest get your own contractor to install your lights and avoid theirs. I have black marked them.

Called the developer about 5 minutes ago, they said it's TOP was obtained yesterday (I spoke to a lady named Emma). However the Building Auth, whom I called prior to the developer said no TOP yet.. so bit confused..

Lady from the developer Emma said that the keys will be available for BLK 46 in 2 weeks time.. still not in time for CNY to move .. but at least can view

Thanks for the info!

I called, and spoke to Emma as well, she also said TOP was yesterday.

I am from block 40, and unfortunately for me, Block 40 is in stage 2 - so we won't be getting our keys until end Jan/early Feb
