Wyfitms Twincharged July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 buy property how to not pau jiak one buy BTO sure make $$$, after all, HDB lose millions every year to build. Even $700K BTO also can become $1M after 5 years if mkt tank, just wait another 5 yrs, if not another 5 yrs it is very easy to make predictions without giving any timeframe 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnoob Supercharged July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 Going to raise issues is one thing, just hope to see positive reply from KBW... Anyway, possible reply will be that DBSS is private companies design and build, hdb can't do much ... and for BTO, oh well, they will step up checking, but do remember that bto is heavily subsidized so home owners already "earn" liao ... Hmm... the above replies ok? Wayang time... http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/no-compromise-in-quality/1980382.html Nonetheless, residents who face issues with the quality of the flats may report them to the Building Service Centre managed by the developer during the Defects Liability Period, Mr Lee said. If the developer fails to address them, the buyers will have legal recourse against the developer as provided for under the Sales and Purchase Agreement. “Although HDB is not a party to the S&P Agreement, HDB plays an active role in ensuring a fair and satisfactory outcome. When DBSS flat buyers raise concerns or feedback about DBSS units, HDB will ask the developer to take appropriate action,” he said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Hypersonic July 13, 2015 Share July 13, 2015 (edited) 1/3 (aka 33%) defects equal GOOD? http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/no-compromise-in-quality/1980382.html On average, about one-third of all new Build-To-Order (BTO) residents approach the Building Service Centre for assistance with defects after collecting their keys, says Minister of State for National Development Desmond Lee.

Carnoob Supercharged July 14, 2015 Share July 14, 2015 Want to push but cannot push kind of answer... For DBSS projects, the HDB only sets buyer eligibility rules and provides broad planning parameters such as the mix of flat sizes and the range of facilities. But that is not to say that the HDB does nothing at all, he said. With the Trivelis DBSS project in Clementi, for instance, HDB "worked behind the scenes" with the developer to seek a resolution. http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/housing/no-compromise-in-quality-of-bto-flats 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course parquet flooring will be sayang lah My old apartment kenna also like that but not so bad , just that after 25-30 years the walls inside started to get mouldy and no matter how many times I painted after about every 6-8 months from inside also could not arrest the issue; I even put silicon on the windows from outside - where the cement meets the aluminium frame- helped a little; On the 35th year kenna en-bloc and I thought I got peace and move in to another apartment and another issue of water seepage from the ceiling. Peoples life is getting longer but buildings are getting really bad nowadays with everything concealed, Water is damn clever one - come in from don't know where and seep out from some place else where there must be some weakness in the concrete ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
