Sea Esta @ Pasir Ris - By Hoi Hup Sunway Pasir Ris Pte Ltd

[Yuki]

the ground elevation of other developments may be different so have to really be on that floor of those developments to be certain.

I swing pass sea esta, ripple bay a few times.. Dun think it's evaluated. Vue 8 seemed elavated however it could be because it's residing in lower grounds as compared to sea esta. So once elavated then it's Sama Sama same height..but me not sure..

but thanks all for your replies.

[yonghan]

Ah... Good good. Genuine question, not rhetorical nor sacastic :- hear that too much prolonged sea breeze is bad/detrimental to furniture/home furnishings. Dun know how true or how false is this hearsay. Any idea?

Yes, especially Wood Capentry. Near sea would mean atmosphere is salty (metal and wood) and wet (wood).

Used to stay in eastvale not far from sea esta. Many wood panel needs changing after like 10 years...

Thanks thanks. So it doesn't matter whether it's sea facing or not lah? Cos as long as it is near sea, it will have this effect?

Quek, the above photo was taken on Level 5 from Ripple Bay:



You would realise that there is still a thin slice of sea, largely blocked by the mid-rise apartments in front. However, the mid-rise apartments in front of Sea Esta seems to be about 1 to 2 storeys shorter, so likely to have less blockage.

The following shows the view from Level 7 from Blk 8 of Ripple Bay. Note that one of the sea-facing blocks of Sea Esta (at the left of the photo) is partially blocking its view:



It is true that if the tall trees right in front of the sea are chopped off, the sea view will be much unblocked.

the sea view in these photos are very dissappointing.

[MrTan]

I think it looks fine lah. With so many high rise buildings nowadays, it is a gift to be able to see the horizon in the comfort of ur own dwelling, let alone a sea view.

Thanks for sharing... I have to reduce my expectation..

agree with Mr Tan. most of the homes either face the road or face another home.

Mr Tan, i dont think the sea saltiness in the air affects wood carpentry that significantly in singapore leh. think of it, the whole stretch of east coast to tanjong rhu, marina bay to keppel bay to west coast and woodlands, alot are either facing or are in the proximity to the sea. i've never heard of any complaints.

Factor in the ssd and the loss is even bigger.

[Kelonguni]

916 days? I think have to pay 8%.

[MrTan]

916 days? I think have to pay 8%.

Then ssd loss is 86k, even bigger than the psf loss of 20k.

[CondoWE]

Then ssd loss is 86k, even bigger than the psf loss of 20k.

Total loss is 106K...!

[Myeast]

Any chance that this unit is kept by developer or ppty agency till top soon? Does the SSD still involve in this case?

Not much chance. But sometimes it's possible to have 1 or 2 case of fall sick, gambling lost money, or business failed, that some have to exit urgently. Unless it's widespread...

[MrTan]

This development is sold out at end of 2012. No point of developer to keep this unit as top soon and they have to risk paying extension charge if they can't sell it. Ppty agency dun buy and keep units. They dun earn by speculating. They earn commissions by marketing and selling it. Hence this is most likely a fire sale by a first hand buyer.

Hi All,

Newbie here. Been following this forum for some time now. Anyway, for your information we actually purchased our Unit in May-2014.

Not too sure why developer announced it was fully sold post-2012 though.

Hhhmmm... That's interesting. U bought ur unit as a 1st hand buyer from the developer? Perhaps a returned unit?

Just curious, how you do your selection? how many units is available for you to choose?

[jagis]

We saw the Unit as being available posted on a property website. Did a quick check on the Sea Esta sales brochure and it was one of only two units of the same type/size.

Then onto the URA Caveats lodged records and this showed that only one of the Units had been lodged/sold previously (July-2012).

So I guess yes, we bought ours 1st hand from Developer. Still puzzled though why Developer reported all as fully sold.

Anyway, we are very happy to have gotten our Unit!

[radha08]

Omg someone sold seaesta at a loss....end of world coming....quick take cover...

[onehome]

Hi

That's looks like something good. can you provide in with some more details on it

Wow! U bought a very big high floor unit huh? Congrats!

At the same price as the other unit of the same type/size? That means definitely from developer. Congrats congrats!!

I guess it was really fully sold out as at end 2012 at that point in time. Cos after that whole lot of caveats lodged in 2012 and 1 last one in Jan 2013, there r no other caveats lodged already, except for urs in 2014 and 2 more in 2015 (1 in Jan 1 in May). We know the one in May 2015 is a fire sale subsale, and urs is directly from the developer (perhaps a returned unit). That leaves us the question of which category does the Jan 2015 unit belong to.

Anyway, congrats congrats congrats!!! I m very happy for u also!

You are very lucky. We didn;t manage to find one must be the timing. Is it a pretty high floor?

Anyway, for the rest of the homeowners, here is a very useful infographic.

Thanks Yuki, nice website summarizing all the costs. To set up a fully furnished home really not cheap. But so fun and exciting!

No prob! I have learnt a ton from old birds like you. Hoping to contribute by sharing what I stumbled across too...I am consolidating all these linky for my future reference. Should be useful in 2 years time...what a looooong wait!

Hehe I where got old birds. Here too many retired old birds, some haven't chirped for a long long time.

The main thing that allows a forum to grow is to encourage diversity and healthy discussion / sharing of resources. The same thing for a country too.

Good to have fruitful discussions and see other's viewpoints as well.

2 years? It will pass very fast.

Hope so! If we had successfully gotten a unit at this project.we will be so excited waiting for the keys now!
