Cheria just VP recently (late Nov/early Dec 2019). Most owners are in the process of collecting keys, home inspections, defect rectifications and renovations. In fact, a few of the owners have already moved in as there are not many defects.
Personally, I have to thank the Tropicana Residences uncle incident in April 2019.
Since the incident, Tropicana delayed the Cheria VP process by 4-5 months to improve workmanship and quality of the Cheria house delivered.
Some early Cheria buyers like me were compensated by Tropicana for the late delivery (LAD payment).
I received the Christmas gift/ (LAD cheque payment) from Tropicana recently. I plan to use the $$ to cover some of the renovations expenses etc.
As for the house itself. This would differ from house to house and on a case by case basis.
For my case, the house is delivered in a good and move in condition on the day I receive my key 2 weeks ago. e.g. clean, no hairline crack, didnt see any water leaks, no water or electricity issues etc.
Anyway, I am not taking any chances and I have scheduled a home inspection in the next 1-2 weeks to do proper checking by the home inspection professionals.
There won't be any house that is delivered 100% defect-free. We have the standard 2 years defect liability period for Tropicana to fix any defects reported during this period.
Overall, Cheria house quality is good and within my expectations.
Feel free to private message me if you have further questions.
Thank you and congratulations! agree that no house van delivered 100% defect free, but the late LAD risk that Tropicana took is a sign that TA has improved their mind set.
