Why en-bloc now?

(Date: 2007.7.17)


(A) RESERVED PRICE

  • The sale proceeds from the Reserved Price is acceptable, any extra will be a bonus

(B) TIMING

  • The present property market is HOT now
  • The Developers are also eyeing competing en-bloc projects (Neptune Court, Lagoon View, Laguna Park, The Summit) and might secure sufficient land bank soon
  • Will we miss this 2nd En-bloc opportunity?
  • Can I afford to wait for the 3rd En-bloc opportunity? When?

(C) Government Comment /Action

  • The rent in Singapore must be lower than Hong Kong
  • The vacant site beside Tanah Merah Kechil Ave
  • The vacant site beside Bedok Court

(D) Major Works in Bedok Court

  • In 2007~2010, the lifts upgrading program would cost $700,000.00 (estimate)
  • In 2008~2009, the building painting would cost $880,000.00 (estimate)
Hence, the Management fund & Sinking fund contribution from the SPs cannot remains at present amount

(E) Major Works near Bedok Court

  • In 2007, HDB block 46 Bedok South Ave.3 was demolished
