We called a number regarding a new launch. Was given an appointment to view the show flats and if keen to submit IC with a blank check for the soft launch for balloting.
Yesterday we received a call from ERA that our Q number was over 200 and our appointment time at their Toa Payoh office was 4plus. Was shown the units we had indicated interest that only 2 such units were left: the penthouse and one below were higher in price because of view. Was told in the morning people had come and booked in bulk using different names. Grrrrrrrrrrr, balloting or some were given 1st choices because of the bulk purchases? Big question mark. Only the developer and ERA knows the behind scenes.
Prices advertised for starting from $2200, $2400 and $2500 psf upwards for the freehold 130 estate has now been changed to $2700, $2800 and $2900 psf because they have received 400 interested blank checks for the 130 units during the show flat viewings. Was told that since they did not have to buy the land ( they owned it) they were sincere in selling at a good price?
Was also told that we have to bid for the units we had shown interest in if they are more than one purchaser. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, were these so-called more than one planted?
Greed has no limits in this country. With the multitude of laws that have in this country, one can never feel at ease even buying properties? And all those at the top still sleeping in their job!
The dirty business of new property launches.

Indeed, when you eat at a cafe or restaurant, there are prices on the menu or the wall. These items are less than $50.
ReplyDeleteOne might want to visit departmental stores or shops, price tags are attached.
The biggest but is at new properties launches, no price list. Must be legal 'cause all are doing it on million-dollar purchases?
It really amazes me how one can get away in a so-called *orderly?* state.
