what is tdsr?
total debt servicing ratio
Come join us and figure out your affordability etc.
In a nutshell the total loan ratio to your income, including taking into account all non-property loans. Quite a killer measure which MAS says it is not a cooling measure but a structural measure (read permanent) aimed at introducing financial prudence, so don't rush to buy anything now. The impact on the property market is not fully felt yet. The ratio is also expected to be decreased further reigning in affordability.Originally Posted by Greenwood
Agents may make you buy now by scaring you with scenarios further of tightening of the ratio..... hence these tdsr briefings, but on the flip side don't rush as prices are likely to dip as affordability drops.
I feel the government should not control the property market and let it up and down by itself...
It won't, due to the kiasuness and untempered and illogical aspirations of Singaporeans.Originally Posted by RCT
Those who have pte property always want more, those in HDB want to upgrade. They don't know how to enjoy simple things in life.
They cannot sink in, cannot afford, don't buy.
highest psf $1,564 PSF IN JUN 2013 FOR A 463-SQFT UNIT
Ride at your own risk !!!
not surprising if it is a pool facing high floor unit.Originally Posted by phantom_opera
my concern is more of whether the developer hv cont'd to increase the $.
Pool-facing high floor unit is useless as you need to hunch over the balcony or window to see the pool, which is dangerous and unnatural. For pool facing units to see the pool, 1-6 floor should be better.Originally Posted by mermaid
agree, ppl who r inclined towards pool facing shouldn't choose high floor.Originally Posted by hyenergix
but the prob is, developers dun price the units tis way sia!
high floor pool facing is definitely pricier den the low floor ones despite a lousier view!
Aren't higher units more costly to build?Originally Posted by mermaid
it is, but wat hyenergix is trying to highlight here is that high floor pool view is not necc getting the best deal as far as aesthetic is concerned.Originally Posted by sabian
Sold = 660
Left = 208
thks for the update.Originally Posted by chngz
yr agent got say left which type of units?
sales getting slower n slower leh
Mostly left -Originally Posted by mermaid
1) 3+S
2) 4
3) 4DK
Only left with the expensive onesOriginally Posted by mermaid
hopefully sales can accelerate after the GLS for the plot of land beside bartley resi.

Who's their main con?Originally Posted by mermaid
I went to view WaterBank.
The main con is Lian Beng. I feel the workmanship is quite bad, saw a couple of units interior. The wall between some rooms are hollow, like gypsium board type of material.
I didn't like the overall feel there. The multistorey carpark is ridiculously tight! And it's not 1 unit - 1 carpark ratio...
Seems there are units on top of the MSCP but they all face the rear kitchen of the HDB block!
But the view of the 3 bedders facing the south is good, you can see parkway to raffles place.
The free form pool is also nice. Partly sheltered by a conserved tree. The place has 2 function rooms which is good. But no tennis court though.
Heard from an agent there bigger units hard to rent out. He only has calls in the last 3 weeks for smaller unit rentals. Things are definitely slowing down.
Anyway, back to Lian Beng, they seem to have a lot on their plate...be prepared for shitty workmanship in 2016.
The Lian Beng Group* secured two projects worth approximately S$200 million, boosting its order book to approximately S$1.4 * billion. *The Group’s wholly-owned subsidiary, *Lian Beng Construction (1988) Pte Ltd, was awarded the building * contract of a condominium along Flora Drive in Pasir Ris estate worth S$115 million. *The contract involves * the building of *nine eight-storey residential blocks, *one block of clubhouse, *a *basement car park, *a * swimming pool, tennis courts and other amenities within the condominium compound. *

but ours is lian beng!
omg! Cannot imagine slow progress & poor workmanship
rental not gd for 3 bedder, Im not surprised. if wanna invstmt, smaller units generally easier.
y u so concerned abt waterbank? u vested?
Nope. Not vested. I pass by and noticed it just TOP so went it to look see cos the main con is Lian Beng and a couple of agents showed me around.Originally Posted by mermaid
Now I'm worried.
walls, structures etc carn be changed. But if furnishings n tiling got one yr waranty.Originally Posted by sabian
Hi Everyone, am a newbie in this forum. Just wondering if anyone got the 3+S unit? We got one at stack 35. Cheers.
welcome, yr stack is very near to the main entrance.Originally Posted by dloh9
Hi Mermaid, yes it is. But we didn't want pool facing units and decided on the unit facing the meditation pods with no direct sun, hopefully it wouldn't be as noisy since it's not facing the major, fingers crossed..
