The Visionaire EC

[iceraider]

Thought need to sign S&P within 9 weeks after OTP. If HDB takes 3 months to approve, ain't this contradicting?

developer will not fault or penalize you for not signing the S&P within 9 weeks if the delay comes from HDB.

If HDB never approve, developer also cannot let u sign S&P. Generally, wun go until so long unless need a lot of verification by HDB then it will drag.

HDB needs to clear the path for developer to issue S&P. The quickest are first-timers with no grant so those can expect to wait 3-6 weeks. The rest have to wait in batches for HDB to clear all the eligibility requirements before the developer can issue it, such as grants and income ceilings.

Torn between visionaires and brownstone

Hi Guys,

I am torn between the 2 Ecs. Any good insights?

For Brownstone, I like the developer and flooring but the walls in the toilets and the multistorey carpark are quite disappointing

For Visionaires, the flooring seems to be of a lower quality.

Can offer some advice?

U mean the bedrooms laminated flooring? Just live with it and replace with better laminates years later if u intending to stay long. This is something easier to replace compared to multistorey carpark disadvantage.

There are merits for a mscp. It cuts down quite a bit of the track noise and provides privacy of the pool users and estate.

Take a train ride towards woodlands direction. Look at 8 courtyard and sapphire. You can barely see inside 8 courtyards. But sapphire u can see the pool and estate quite clearly. Visionaire gonna be even more open. To me a pte estate supposed to be pte. Not for everyone to see.
I've stepped inside 8 courtyards. Can barely hear the track tks to the mscp. And u feel like you are in your own estate. Pte feel.

TBH, if brownstone had been willing to wait for my MOP, I would have gotten it

Brownstone left with quite lousy units and the layout of the ec is a bit messy. I felt like visionaire the pools are all in one line much easier to move around. Brownstone like must navigate between the blocks to reach the next pool.

Also the car park is not great, underground is much better.

I like the flooring in brownstone too but not a deciding factor for me ��

You have same thought of me ! I like Browbstone flooring too and branded developer.. However the living room really too small for 3room and look weired for 4 room .. Visionaire still can choose good unit with co space storage and 250m of landscape view get more attraction!

I can only afford a small 3 bedroom unit. Both places seem small so looking into more details to make a decision. Is it true than the thin wood flooring in visionaire is more difficult to maintain? I heard only 180 units sold so far in Visionaire as well,would this be a worrying factor?

Apologies for the noob questions, first time home owner here.

Visionaire laminate flooring creates a floating feel. Vinyl flooring is more solid feel and very water resistant since no plywood or wood inside.
Brownstone finishes are better over all and it's nearer to mrt.
Actually their sales moved faster when visionaire is launched. Can guess why right?
Most imptly choose non West sun facing if there is any left in brownstone

Visionaire sales is slow but still moving due to oversupply.

If flooring is the only concern, there are many solutions. Eg. add extra layer or ask the developer not to install their laminate so you can put your own.

Are these the only two ECs you are considering? Both are priced quite steeply, so you may want to expand your search to include those which have lower PSF price.

Honestly, I hate the idea of the MSCP if I have to walk so far to my car. It's been 11 years for me and I dread every trip to and fro to the carpark.

In the older estates, you had the open-air carparks just downstairs. Then we had space constraints so MSCP became prevalent. If I want the luxury of a condo, I would expect to take the lift straight down to the car park. It's worse if the path to the carpark is not even sheltered!

 

[hongge]

Yep.. and I hate to spin around the MSCP to the highest floor when coming home late.

Visionaire has the cheaper 3 bed room options where the basin for the master bedroom is outside the toilet. My agent showed me one unit which was only 715k. However in my opinion it is super weird and not practical. Am not sure how they plan to market that 3 bedroom design

Which would you suggest to look at? =D

The flooring sucks, not sure if that is just the show house problem.

OMG totally agree on the toilet wall for brownstone, especially for the master bedroom (dark scheme). Shock. I thought I'm the only one who think so.

In the end you decided with visionaire? It is quite ex to replace the toilet walls? My agent told me can get lawyer to write in to developer. Don't know if he is just smoking me. Haha

I thought the warm theme's toliet is the white one. Honestly, the toliet in black theme is not bad. Stains or dirt is not too noticeable. The other toliet in tan is better than the white one.

Lawyer can write letter but no use one. The contract u sign with developer will have such terms and conditions stated. You are just a small buyer compare to the whole development and they reserve the right not to entertain.
