Cleong : So u have bought a unit in Serangoon ? Any idea what will be develop at the enbloc units? Teban Vista are for those residents whose bloc had been enbloc? Hmmm... mayb wen the Teban Vista are up mayb the business would be improved. I did go viewing once at Pandan . The block face directly to the Temple but find that its too far fm the amneties.

Is there any construction goin on at Teban ? Which part?

Cleong : Where exactly is blk 413 ? Is it Teban or Pandan. We came across blk 63 or 62 can't remember. However asking high cash..30k above valuation for a 5 room flat. Merydith : Any clinics , markets nearby ? Some blk in Teban had been enbloc, i'm wondering what will be replaced. Haha..hopefully building up shopping centre haha..but i doubt so.. Chronograph : Ya, quite true..its a matter of getting used to it ya.

Wel....we've make the biggest commitment EVER !!! Already deposit 1K option fee.. Next ...guess have to reccee the location again n again just to ensure that we have make the right choice. Theres a road juz below the blk..with so many big lorries and vehicles passing thru..wonder it will be noisy at nite...???

Hmm.. are there any buses nearby?? Have yet to check that out. Mayb will put an option to chop first ..den got 14 days to reconsider ...have to weigh the pros n cons. If don't like it den too bad lor will end up like you salavanun..haha..parting my 1K..

I've found this on hdb web site : SERS Site Details Milestone Information Announcement Date & SERS Site Deadline for Submission of Resale/ Transfer Applications Collectors Inquiry Serving of Compensa- tion Notice Registra- tion of Replace- ment Flats New Replacement Flat Construction Selection Estimated Completion Date 12 Jul 2007 Teban Gardens Road Blocks 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 Closed Complete Complete Closed 25 April 2008 Complete Early 2012 These blocks at Teban had been ENBLOC.... gosh.. will all the old blocks in teban wil be enbloc ?? Can someone enlighten me on this enbloc issue.

Salavanun : Teban do have schools rite. If i'm not wrong there is Commonwealth Sec, Pandan Pri . Amneties such as Sheng Siong is also nearby if i'm not wrong. But have yet to check if there is any buses around that goes to the interchage?? I guess you are rite..i have to weigh all the pros n cons...alamak want to choose house aso susah ....but at the end of the day we can't have the best of everthing thou..will consider the pros n cos ...

Chronograph : Mayb i shall take your advise to negotiate and try for a lower COV. Of course the best choice is to take a unit with best location with amneties but also depends on our capacity. Taking a flat too far off fm our budget would also result we becoming slave of our own house to pay for high monthly mortagage. I would aso prefer areas near MRT . Will there be any MRT in Teban in future haha...sigh...nearest to Teban is Jurong East.. Any LTA pple to advice or not any MRT at Teban..haha...*slaps forehead* Cleong : Yup , I agree with you but also i think its a matter of getting used to it lor.We were quite worried of this issue also initially and so Me n wife had actually reccee the place during nite hours and found that not too many workers loitering around that area. We did also monitor during noon hour. Yes noon hours is pack with foreign worker from the nearby co workers out for lunch to the next blk kopitiam.I'm also wondering how the current owners who have been staying in these blocks can adapt to it. I've checked past resale transaction and find that not many people selling their units in this block. So i guess its a kind off getting used to it lor ..sigh...

Hmmm.... so i shall go for it huh...but also not near mrt den travelling got prob leh....aiya...so **** confused.

Wah..seems that this Mr kok n pearlyn is popular......hmm. ..very impressive. can i have his contact pls?

You are rite Cleong.We had reccee the area and indeed there are many foreign workers, big trucks and aso not near to MRT..Like what u said PUB is in the process of building up the reservoir for water related sports facilities.As of now what I can see the viewing deck platform is almost done up. What do you tink of the potential value near future should the water sports facilities are all fully done up and also if the Business Hub (which was planned to be near jurong east mrt) fully develop. Any comments ?

If u don't mind to share why do you give up the Teban Unit?? Mind to share...

Me n wife had some thoughts abt it also.Cash portion is quite reasonable for an EM at this moment.We have been searching around few location but den 4 n 5 room units are all asking superhigh supersky cash!!! Its a coincidence that we came across this unit..We are a first timer and currently staying with parents now n we do not have any property to sell .Its purely hard earned money to dump in for the cov n aso mayb for basic reno to be done. We tot of grabbing the unit since its a good deal.However we are also confused if its a too big unit for a first timer like us to purchase.I was thinking to go for a this flat since we are entitled for the grant and also we are still eligible for a 30 yrs loan rather than taking up a 4 room unit den using up the grant and if future if I were to upgrade to a bigger flat later i won't be able to use the grant and the no years of loan will be reduced to 27yrs (average age for both me n wife) if I were to upgrade 5yrs later and will then end up paying high instalment in future rather than now.So its kind of confusing situation to go for it or not ???

Hi Yuenyuen, can i have the contact pls. thxs a lot.
