Carlhoe: Wow - that is surprising! But I don't really understand what you mean by "fire safety" - like hose reel, fire extinguisher, etc? These are authority requirements - all developers need to include these things in, if not they cannot get CF.
Hi,
sorry not to mention well here. For your information, i just got the information from the committee of my apartments (i am not the member of committee). The committee taken over from them and just have to renew the fire insurance, but just heard from committee said we have to pay more due to the safety factor not being installed. i am wondering too to get CF last time. hence, a bit dissapointed. Somemore my sanitary parts in toilet was not installing with good quality parts (broken within 2 month which borne by end user as claimed by developer). I just want to share, those so called good and well known developer might not deliver the good stuff at the end, somemore just look at the paper with so many factors migth be changed? I suppose those hard money earner should bet the money on those paper? well, there is nothing wrong as investment is always taking the risk to have better or worst product at last which we need to make sharp decision earlier or later merely.

the more facilities you get, the more you need to pay to maintain those facilities. not main main, you will be paid alot to maintain them, otherwise, they will be eyesore and can affected the entire condominium.
prefer UOA provide basic facilities will do.
yup.. agreed. however, how about if pay about the same but get lesser facilities?

I agree with you on the usage and practicability for the facilities. However, one of my friends wanting to rent out his condo in Bangsarsouth to an expat , but was turned down because the facilities is only having swimming pool, gym, and a mini sauna. For the same price, most of the luxurious condo, have in addition, tennis courts and squash at least. These facilities are usually taken away because developer could save more costs or make more $$.
What I am trying to imply here is that the more facilities available, the higher is the perceived value of the condo for both rental or resale.
No one agree to this?

Added on October 24, 2010, 7:03 amReady or not? So fast?
Added on October 24, 2010, 7:04 amMaybe many more.

yes. agreed with it. i have been trying to sell some of my own subsale properties, the more facilities the higher price we can ask for.

This is Setapak you are talking about. I bought a sampan, sure its diff from a yatch, no matter where i bought it from, or where i park my boat.
but,

i got your point.
But still if the letter from stakeholder stated condo, and now in the article it stated apartment, i'm sure it require clarification.
well, just share again with you all. I have one property built by UOA too. Before i pay for booking, they mentioned is service apartment and somehow later have been told is only apartment, but i believe many of the residents in my compound not sure the title. well, i have no doubt if you all talking about this issue again in SG.
