gohkm 1 Report post Posted August 13, 2007 I suppose that the odd shape floor plan will not affect your valuation. However, when you are trying to resale your flat in the market in future, the buyer will definately take the floor plan into consideration and thats a disadvantage and might haggle the price with you. That's just my personal opinion. Everyone also want to buy high floor, good view, near mrt, near facilities, cheap price, good neighbours, normal shape, near town.......................but sometimes in life u cant have the best of everything.........everything fated, i believe............if u got 80% of wat u desire, good enuff and u should take it.................think seriously, where got so good deal in life........let me share alittle story wif u...............i saw a house recently with high floor, designer renovated, marble flooring, good view, near mrt, near facilities, super cheap price, normal shape and near town recently.....................too good to be true huh............very happy...........but i visit the house a few times and talk with the neighbours and ppl around it..........u know wat .............the house is haunted.........in life u can never get 100%............

The queue to collect keys is probably its based on who selected first.Not very sure also... just my opinion.Anyway now 7th month already started, so most chinese wont want to open the door during the 7th month.Hope you get your unit soon!

Chamia 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2007 (edited) Hi,Haha, u r new neighbour..........I get a low floor unit (5rm) at Blk 459 at 360k....u think 360k++ for that place really worth it?................the location not bad but the maintenance of the block abit bad, like not much ppl live there, also abit dusty..............how come eyeing that place for a long time.............how come this place never open for previous walk-in selection..........cos i check many units for blk 458, blk 459 and 460 have been vacant since 2002.............Hi Gohkm,My parents in law is staying at Clementi Ave 4 (next to clementi ave6 expressway) since my hubby is only 3 yrs old (he is in early 30s). Hubby like Clementi so much (me as well, and stayed first two yrs with inlaws) and wanted to get a flat there. We were hoping to get a new flat where you have got yours in Year 2005, but they are not opened to ballot, thus looked around at 2nd hand ones which are as old as me. During that year, we had view one 6th floor 5room at blk 362 (near the clementi police station) selling at 368K. Very interested but a bit on high side during that year's market price. Before we can negotiate further, along came the ballot exercise for Redhill flats, and we managed to get a Redhill flat instead.Clementi is really a good place and consider 'Hub' for the west of Singapore. It is truly convenience even though a bit further away to town (actually can get to town at short time also), and I am sure my husband will not hesitate to shift back to this town in future to be near his parents. I am also ok with it even though my current place is nearer to the city. Yes, one look at 360K++ for your 2nd level flat seems to be expensive but 2nd look, I find it is worth it as this is a brand new flat, you are first owner. nearby amenities are good (near mrt, interchange, upcoming clementi hub, good schools, good makan places, etc). And although its on 2nd level, it is unblocked. Can be a bit noisy occassionally but as long as you are easy adaptable person, it should be alright. I am just posting my opinion. Hope the above helps (the comparision price of old 5room flat and yours) Edited August 17, 2007 by Chamia Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
