    Hi all,

    I purchased a 2 bed room unit in Dec 05 facing the railway. I understand that the actual TOP date will be 1 year earlier. Not sure if there is any chance to TOP Dec 07. Cant wait to move in.

    There is an agent that quoted 485 - 500K for the 2 bed room unit. Even though its attractive but its kind of difficult to purchase a brand new 2 bed room condo with raintree pricing.

    I stay in Blk 83, neighbour of some of you here. Hope to see you guys soon

    While we had the intention to stay, may consider sub sale if the price is attractive enough to convince us to let go of such a wonderful development.

    Was one of you there near the site trying to see the status of the construction yesterday? Driving a white Toyota? I was there on the way in but my car had some problems (my wheel housing drop off)... so have to turn back and make my way to the workshop instead...

    So how's the status?

    Btw, I am driving a red Peugeot 407.

    There is no bathtub for all units in Raintree, I think. Depending you like bathtub or not, it can be a plus or a minus. For me, most likely it is going to be a white elephant at home, so better do without it, then I can get a bigger moving area in the bathroom.

    I bought 1 unit in Sep'06, facing the landscaping and a bit of the pool. Top floor. Paid about $512psf.

    Cheers!

    bought a unit recently n thought that the bank's legal subsidy of $2k would be enough, but the lawyer's invoice came up to abt $4k (incl disbursements and for cpf's lawyers). anyone hv experience in this and do u think the fees are reasonable?

    read earlier post. pool facing is almost 580psf.
    quite ex. moreover as one post pointed out...faces the radio tower too.
    rail facing seems better. view slightly marred by southhaven,
    slight noise problem only.

    but hey, no radio exposure! protected by rear neighbor.

    Got my unit last mth, 3 bdrm, highest floor, pool-facing, abt $515psf. 3 floors lower was $498psf but decided to pay a bit more for the height. The 580psf is prob for the 3+1 or 4 bdrm highest flr facing pool.

    For pool or gaden facing, consider mid-low floor units because the view is not as great when you are too far away from. Noise is less of an issue as it tends to travel upwards, you actually hear less noise (from the pool), but yet better view of the pool. For rail or reserve facing, consider high floor units because low floor units will be blocked by bushes and trees and there will be nothing in front of you except trees in super close distance (tress and mountain look wonderful only at a distance and you may end up with assortment of insects flying/crawling into your unit).

    Why don't you turn your radio on and see if you hear anything? If so, that would mean the radio wave is getting to you. Nowhere to hide, good news that you are probably not getting more exposure from radio wave than other waves: microwaves, UV, GPS, .......

    Think the lawyers normally quote with everything in, abt $3k shld be reasonable

    is it true that for the highest floors of each block, the ceiling height is higher compared to the rest of the units? that was what the agent was trying to market to me, dunno if real or not

    It should be opposite, the ground floor in all projects should have high ceiling because of rules and regulations. However, it is possible that RT has high ceiling for the highest floor, but I don't think it is required from the developer

    May I ask which blk did you get? When I purchase my unit in Jan this year, agent told me all pool facing 3-rm top floor taken? I even have the print out of all the unit available (with pricing) with me, dun c any top floor available. Hope my agent did't pull a fast one on me

    You said highest floor meaning top floor or highest floor available?

    not all waves are the same....
    light is an electromagnetic wave.
    radio wave is an electromagnetic wave.
    can light penetrate a wall?

    the waves are just bending around the walls.
    so the more walls between tower and self, the better!

    kudos to those who bought rail facing units!
    sound waves better than radio waves.
