Anyone ever bought or invest in a show house? I heard the decorations and furnitures are of low quality type. Need someone to clarify.

I'd say that generally the furniture and fittings in a show house are of middle quality.

The developer would not want to spend too much, otherwise the price of the show house would be too high and hard to sell off. Neither would they use low quality stuff because then it can be seen and felt by visitors and that leaves a bad impression.

Depending on the developer. Reason being, by the time u got the keys to the hse, the defect liability period of the building contractor should lapsed already.
So if there really are some defects to rectify, developer need to engage contractor, thus extra cost to be borne.

Ask them before hand, whether they still provide the warranty thingy?

If yes , when signing S&P, check if the clause's there.

Anyhow, even if they honour it, all developer are slow when it comes to purchaser complaints. tongue.gif

So, if it's minor, most ppl would just settle it on their own.

If the house is being bought first hand from the developer then the standard SPA (as provided for in the HDA) would normally apply. This will include the defect liability period. But yes, do double check the SPA.
