if u compare the price , it does not really cheaper than surrounding units. But the response is so different simply because of :

(1) Quantum is small compare to the surrounding
(2) Buying for future. the unit only be ready in 2-3 years down the road. Market "may" recover by then.
(3) Interest absorbtion scheme allow buyer to fork out only 20%
(4) It is brand new.

[kal]

I found this
http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10297p.nsf/ImageView/RENO_GUIDEBOOK/$file/SCDFGuide.pdf

it say
no removing of the door

or this only for HDB?

[franzmark]

then wouldnt it defeat the purpose of the bomb shelter if the door is removed? I think it is illegal. It would be nuts for SCDF to say that it is okay for the doors to be removed when they were the ones that came up with the full design for the bomb shelter...

i heard agents saying that for other projects before as well but I would think you would still need to place it inside the H/S right?!

base on what the agent told us.
She say.. can remove the door and keep 1 side.
When u want to sell , just put the door back.

It sound to me.
The door is required to be there or else why she say sell that time, put the door back?

[franzmark]

agents would say anything to get the deal thru...thought you already know that

that's why i come in to clarify what the agent say

[franzmark]

i even heard agents saying before that living room can be extended out to the balcony to create more living space. i was thinking, huh???

that's why i come in to clarify what the agent say

[bargain hunter]

yup, and the most viable place to keep that door would be in the H/S. Geez, so much for a stylish walk-in wardrobe.

Please can I check if it is still a requirement to have bomb shelters in the new condos, for developers whom might be applying for permits going forward. I understand there was this bomb shelter requirement during certain earlier years but it appears it is no longer a requirement now.

Please could anyone in the industry, or have direct relevant experience in this field of work, to provide some comments or to share?

If one is able to fork out 1800psf, just dump the door and transform the HS to whatever u want it to be. Worse come to worse, if new owner demands the door, how much can it be? I doubt its more than a grand or two. What is bca or scdf going to do - apply for a warrant and search every home to ensure compliance?

[franzmark]

it is not bout whether scdf know or not just that nobody who pays so much for a house wants to run foul with the law in any way. Ur post shows yet another typical singaporean mentality (u think u got money can drive even the ghost away). Very very wrong thinking...

as with all things, you can do anything you want but don't get caught

Lol. Forget about this fella, he belongs in the same camp as rapister. His posts and inclinations already show the strata he's in, much less his bias - too bad he goes about showing em in a crass manner.

It appears that those newer launches don't have this requirement .... heard it's for project plans submitted after 2007 (dunno exactly when). E.g. those condos with smaller units don't 've bomb shelters (Alexis).
Regulations & guidelines change with times ... this year they've done so with planter boxes, bay windows, etc.

[franzmark]

yah u have a lot of crass for telling the world that hdb flats are overpriced n selling ur east coast hdb flat at overprice to a young couple (arent u slapping ur own mouth by making that self confession? Lol). I think forumers can judge wat kind of strata u r in, pseudo rich... Hit on my raw nerve? Of course not, with ur level of intellect n crass...

Lol you're obviously not getting the point and its useless educating the likes of you. i am not rich. But neither are you anywhere close in status. Crawl back to the boondogs where u belong, no one's going to even trust you to fill up their petrol

[teddybear]

As far as I know, it is no longer a requirement to have bomb shelter in each individual house. However, in such case, the developer can shift bomb shelter to some amenities within the condo development (like underground park area). As such, who will really care what you do with your own bomb shelter's door?

Self contradicting nuthead, i think this place is beyond your intellect so go find another forum to contradict yourself again. I do not think you would even qualify for a position as a security guard at my new condominium in the central coz you lack the mental faculties to even understand the purpose of a bomb shelter.

That's becos they have it somewhere else in the condo devt

[Geylang OKT]

Hmm... not to take any sides as I didn't follow the exchange... but I believe the correct spelling is boondocks.

[franzmark]

Developers can either choose to locate the bomb shelters outside the units on each floor (common shelter) or have individual ones in the units.
