slbk 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 Hi People,Can share how much you are paying for your monthly conservancy fee to your TC? I want to see why DBSS has to pay more than the comparable unit since on the external its just a HDB.Cityview@Boon Keng (DBSS,5 room) $78Boon Keng (HDB, 5 room) $59Bedok (HDB, 3 room) $37.50 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
forgotten 1 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 Heehee because Pay and Pay considers DBSS residents to be richer than normal HDB residents Town council & IRAS have "mean-testing" like Hospitals. They charge according to our property price. DBSS is more exp than HDB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, horribly expensive. I think i would curse as well if i have to pay that amount every month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slbk 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 I think we should be paying for the work carried out, not the type of HDB flat we live in. Granted it is DBSS, what's so special that make SC/CC more expensive? Its not like there is swimming pool or a dedicated cleaning crew like condo.The TC really needs to wake up. One size does not fit all. One rule does not cover your a**.

No need to drive car up and down, no need to take stairs/lift up and down, and cheaper fee than multistorey carpark. Hard to find open carparks nowadays. HDB is demolishing open carparks.

S1 & S2 residents who drive, will end up paying almost the same fee as some suburban condos residents. The condo residents still get additional facilities.

riovista44 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2011 Mine is a 2+1(1055sqft/bigger than most 4rm HDB flats nowadays) private condo in Hougang with full condo facilities including free shutter bus service from 6.30am-7.30pm daily every 10mins during peak hrs and 30mins during offpeak hrs. And I'm paying only $153 conservancy fees per month. I think HDB is over charging their resident! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
