Just visited the site as well. Understand the contractors last day is 5 May. They will handover to developer then. Hopefully that is true. Still see drilling and painting ongoing.

I'm very interested to see what the owners find abt the finishing and quality of China Construction's work.
It's also the maincon for Estuary, Double Bay Residence, Soleil, Floridian, Cabana and Duchess Residences.
I drove pass on Sat and saw the Logo "Clementiwoods" at the front gate, the letter '0' is dropping sideway and hanging there.....Originally Posted by amk
omg what a bad impression, they can't even build a proper signboard, I can't imagine what's worse inside....
don't know is it just me, I just feel that the contractors look very slack and inefficient to me. HDB workers even build faster than them.
Just went inside and look into some "completed" units.Let me give a warningOriginally Posted by orangeroad80
to all owners of Clementiwoods. Be prepare for a rude shock when you see yur unit. Better stand by an ambulance on inspection day as you need it because you will either faint, suffer a massive heart attack, attempt suicide
or kill the inspection officer
.
By the way I just get rid of my unit and know of several buyers desperate to buy a 2 bedroom unit at the ridiculous psf of over $980 psf. Smart owner of Clementiwoods can PM me if they want to get rid of your unit at record psf.
Looking at the bus loads of China men they ferry in and out on a daily basis to "finish" the units...I suspect the "finish" is finished.
We shall not speculate on this...lets wait till it TOP to see the final product. Last min 1-2days touch up work can mean alot of difference.Originally Posted by calvenng

Hi Man, you behavior looks interesting. You sold out your unit and then begin black-mouth this project... Let me imagine what you will say if you did not offload. In fact, I went inside the project as well and did not find anything obviously annoying. What's more, I also tried to walk around the project in the eve, finding the environment fairly comfortable and eco-friendly. The buildings and gardening make it totally immersed in the Clementiwoods Park.

Also to add 980psf if nothing to shout about, I was offered 1022psf for my 2+1.

He needs more of you to panic, lower your expectation and sell so that he can close that deal easily.

haha... salesman of the year. If only he's more subtle. Great salesman don't brag about their exploits and just earn quietly. Anyway, how did you guys manage to go into the units to walk around? I stand outside also scared the guard chase me out. The signage outside looks good already. Just need to clean up the place and water the plants. They look half daed after being there for so long. Aquatic plants are also starting to go in...
1022 psf for clementi woods? It is worth only $550 psf as what the developer think it is worth when they launched.Thats why they hired the cheapest contractor n give the cheapest interior n finishes.You will have the biggest regret in your life.Originally Posted by cher

These are the defects I have spotted :
1) The flooring throughout the units are not flat . If you pour water you can find those spots which were flooded.
2) Most windows/doors cannot be close or open properly.The screeching sound for some doors is so loud that those living in Blue Horizon also can hear.
3) Most toilet bowls has so much shit n urine in it that they almost overflow. Don't forget the color of the water in the ponds.
4) Power points, TV n Tel points are not fix properly that cracks can be seen all around.
5) All the things that areto be fix in the bathroom are not done professionally that cracks n stain can be seen at the edge or on the wall.
6) The floor n wall of the yard is best not to be seen.
7) Check the ceilings n walls too. They are not flat or in a straightline.
8) Wrought iron railings of patio n balcony, has so much scratches n poorly done as if they are just taken from those burnt iron junkyards during Moa Tse Tung 's cultural era.This stingy developer can't afford to use glass panel.
9) Ward robes so poorly fix that they cud collapse if you shout at them.
The list could go on that I can write a 1000 pg books on all the defects.
10) The edge of the bay windows/skirtings seem to have waves n not straight. Think they forget to bring a ruler when installing them.
Other factors - The recreational/lap pool is just built for 4 units on the ground floor. Wonder how the rest can use the pools when there is no place for them to put their towels or clothes?![]()
If you are not planning to stay till death then better sell before TOP otherwise all the current Clementiwoods lovers willing to pay $980 psf will vanish when they see the actual units n place.

Folks...just ignore him...I personally find his comments very distasteful.
The whole world or clementiwoods prices is not gg to crash overnight just bcoz of one black sheep.

I still have plenty of buyers willing to pay $980 psf for a 2 room unit. But sellers of Clementiwoods want at least $1022. Need to warn them not to be too greedy. It can only live to 99 yrs old, how to remain $1022 sf forever?Originally Posted by spn25

Owners are not worry about the price please most bought for home stay, furthermore rental yield will be good so why worry, price not good rent first, let others service the loan for you and sell when price is good. 99 yrs not necessary means price cannot hold, just look at my unit at Carribean also 99 yrs after so many years still holding strong at 1300-1400. You should know property is all about location, location and location.Originally Posted by calvenng

Besides these small time conmen, there are the big time ones who are analysts linked to the US investment banks.Originally Posted by cher
During the Lehman crisis, these analysts wrote as though the whole world was coming to an end, then the next moment you see some property funds (also linked to their banks) started to buy properties.
So they scare you first to make you panic so that they can scoop your property dirt cheap.
That's why I say everyone should practice the PROPERTISM religion.
When the market is down, close your eyes, and recite ...
PROPERTISM Rule No. 1 - Property prices always go up in the long term hence properties should only be bought and not sold.

Hi my wise but angry property buddha, I m honour you have to come to this thread n "expose" me.Originally Posted by jlrx

Can a 99 yr old leasehold property still go up when it has less than 50 yrs lease?
Though what i say cud be far fetch n exaggerated they are carefully thought n have only good intentions.![]()
I still belief my advice to Clementiwoods seller who need to sell to take profits near $1000 psf as the wisiest n most pragmatic one. The value n prices of older 99yr Westbay n Westcove just opposite n similar in size has fell so far behind the rest of Spore. In 5 yrs times Clementiwoods n Varsity Park 's value will catch up with Westcove/Westbay but drop very fast away from the new condos there.![]()
As for Caribbean despite selling at abv $1400 psf its rise in value is pale in comparison with Clementiwoods n those condos in Marina Bay n Sentosa Cove. Even Faber Lodge, The Pearl, Harbour View Tower, Harbourlights etc appreciate more in terms of % from May 2009.

Don't worry we all CW owners understand how you feel. If vision can hit 1100psf why should we let go at 980psf??? Are you telling me all vision owners are IDIOTS and you are the smartest of all???![]()
if you are so noble to warn all the CW owners, why are you not warning your plenty of potential buyers ?Originally Posted by calvenng

Hi, my caribbean neighbour Cher,Originally Posted by cher
You are a smart investor n sure can make your own decision but Comparing Vision with Clementiwoods is like comparing a 2010 Lexus with a 2007 Toyota. Vision's interior,finishes, view, facilities, bathroom, kitchen is much better than CW. Yet those lower floor unit in Vision is only sold for about $950 psf, the same as last transacted price of CW.Only an ignorantor very rich person
with $ to throw will buy CW above $1000psf.
Let me give another wise advise which I have learned in the past, one shud not feel "cheated" even if price shoot up after selling. Be happy n contentedthat you have make money n make the rite decision to buy in the 1st place. Always trying to sell at the highest n buy at the lowest will make one a frustrated n unhappy person
.
Good point but they are buying for own stay n like the location so not worry that price will drop in the future. I have advise them to pay a maximum of $980 psf if the unit is good n not anything above $1000 PSF.Originally Posted by Douk
In fact one buyer ask me to offer a unit at the owner 's asking price of $1020 psf , I told her not todon't be a sucker to greedy seller

Lol. U must be very successful.. Smooth..Originally Posted by calvenng
