Bleu @ East Coast (D16, Freehold, Sim Lian)

[Xarain]

Just realised that the bank had adjusted the interest rate to 4% after they post the statement to us! Was shocked and had approached the bank to recalculate the rate and found out that what they charged previously was incorrect and they bring down the rate to 2.5%. Can any of the owners here share what is your interest rate? I believe that the bank can still decrease the interest lower than 2.5%.

bro which bank are you with?

Mines with OCBC and its like 3.25% now... best i just realized the Lock-in ends in Jan 2010 which translates to a 7k early redemption penalty if i jump ship

Was shopping around for refinancing and chanced upon UOB which is like 1.68% currently.

Is this the condo by the road? Noisy or not?

mines facing the road so i wont say its like a library.....but its rather ok since traffic is not very heavy.

If you want peace and greenery suggest you pick to rear stacks. there's a couple on sale now if you are interested.

Huh... how could they make such a mistake?
Mine's with HSBC at around 2.5% and lock in period is 1 year from TOP.

Many bought way below today's prices. Is the condo well-built and everything in order like no defects?

[ACTI]

I also want to remove the door!!!

Can meh... if can, i also want...

In fact, i went to a showroom recently and the developer removed the door and put up a nice facade in replacement... so misleading.. i ask the agent can remove or not... she talks a load of rubbish without answering my question so i don't think so.......

According to handbook, cannot leh.
But for my 2 bedroom layout, the home shelter door clash with main door is v stupid.

[joyce501]

My main door is dented Im guessing the main door hit the handle of the bomb shelter door which was not closed properly

What about paint / cement residue - Are they liable to clean them up too?

Just met the person in charge of defects this afternoon, he agreed to help us clean up. See can get them to clean up too.

Btw, is there door stopper at main door? The person in charge says all units dont have.
Right now, if open the door too hard the handle will hit the wall. You face the same problem?

Hi Joyce!

is yours a Type A5 too?

There is no stopper for the main door, my handle seemed to have "bang" the walls many times liao hence going to ask for a replacement.

Bomb shelter by right cannot remove however if you have the means to do so whos going to check right? (Im just going to leave it there for now)

When you say "Clean" up - does it include repolishing / revanishing? my floor looks quite terrible.

Cheers

My floorings are in perfect conditions. Only a few minor defects found only so far.

Hi Xarain,

Mine's type A3, which looks exactly like yours except for the location of the balcony.

Got to go and install one stopper on my own liao. Even replace also cant be long term solution as will still continue to bang.

Hubby also told me to leave the home shelter door alone, as it is too troublesome.

For me, there are just some paint stains, so normal removing of paint is what he will do for us.

Took out HS door and just store it in HS.

Mines also with OCBC. I think you can try to negotiate with the bank and pull down the interest a little. As current economy is bad, they would probably give in to your request.

PM me, I give u my OCBC mobile banker number

Instead of approaching a mobile banker..
why don't you try a mortgage broker.
He/she can compare across all the different mobile bankers and give you advice.
It's up to you to take the advice.

How does a mortgage banker earns? Since you can pick up the advice and go direct to the bank for the loan.

Kick back from bank.

[focus]

it's either the whole commission amt into the pocket of the RM..
or the commission is split btw RM and Broker..

But, I would say.. you let the broker do the comparison..
but you can also asked the individual RMs yourself..

then compare.

anyone have any recommendation of the contractors/electricians? i only need to install the false ceilings and downlights. Btw, any of the bleu owners here already start renovating? I have search a few of the contractors, but no idea which one is reliable and good.

Some phots taken recently.

nice view...very relaxing place..
afew friends came here and went swimming with me there.. they all loved the relax feeling here.. esp. my unit is facing the trees.. weather here is nice so far and lots of sun! cant wait to slim down so i can don on my swimming attire here!

[Blur]

Ach,
prob can ask if security is able to open the other gate for moving, providing the truck is not obstructing anything there.. it will be easier to move items esp. the huge ones there, going down the carpark is terrible idea.
