Hi All! I'm new. It's so exciting to read through your conversations about PC. I've booked a 5 room on 30th floor. Just wondering if anyone has got a confirmation about your HDB housing loan yet? They've just asked for my 12-mth payslip - that worries me a little.
Hi All,
At MyHomeTown, there is this discussion on proximity access card. Please take a look if you are interested.

Hi All,
Regarding bay windows and planter boxes for Park Central, are they being counted as part of the floor area?
According to the following, private condominiums exempt planter boxes and bay windows gross floor area (GFA) calculation.

Does anyone have good knowledge in this area?
Pls advise.
Thanks,

Hi Folks,
Believe we'll need to work together as a team if we were to negotiate with the developer. Right now, the developer might still listen to us as we have yet to sign the payment agreement. Even if Town Council allows, the developer might do away with the system in order to cut cost. Also, there will be the ongoing issue of maintaining such a security system.
Might be good if we can gather consensus of majority preference on the security access system.
Some thoughts,
Ced

gals, be serious....
makania> Any plans on your side? We'll be the more than willing to sign any petition should there be a need. Perhaps we are even willing to fork out probably 1k or 2k/unit which probably might be enough to cover most of the cost of the installation? Card access is one of the reasons why I prefer condo to hdb (though now I'm settled for PC) and I believe a number of us here have the same thoughts. Rather impressed by your initative to approach Town Council directly for this. Since PC did approach TC for the idea, I believe having the card access is not impossible.

i went the the City View showroom and i checked with the agent there on the proximity access system. apparently it will be at the lobby or lift and is connected to your home landline. to allow visitor to access to your unit, you just press a code (i assume the homeowner will assign their own code) which will allow the visitor to access the lift.

Wow! the proximity access system in City View seems so similar to those condos.. actually i would also prefer such system. Like that no strangers can gain access to our lifts and so, to our corridors.. more privacy!

detonate - hmmm no, not connie. Someone called Raymond called instead. The thing is I lost my IC!! So I only presented my passport when I book the flat. I will only get my IC tmr... hope I will get the loan approval soon after that. This is so stressful - if we can't get HDB loan, we might just give up.. we bought the 30th storey so would be "safer" to have HDB loan I think.

finally got my HLE approved. now waiting for the actual HDB loan.
ced >>> i did ask the agent for the bay windows and planter boxes. He told me that normally it will be 5% of the gross floor area (GFA). And its definitely included in our GFA. which works out to be 5 - 6 sqm for a unit with 112 sqm. my guess is that estimate is not far off cos i did try to measure for the 120 sqm one.
for the security system>>> personally i find it quite restrictive and if you have guests sometimes have problems entering and may need to and fetch cos the system is not working properly. Also if the system spoilt the maintenance may be pretty high not to mention the a annual maintenance.
i'll prefer an option to choose the tiles of my rooms cos laminates though easy to maintain but it will create air bubbles (uneven flooring) if accidently spill water and didn't wipe it off. i prefer a timber flooring or tiles for the rooms in anytime.

valerene>> you might wish to consider other factors apart from the negative point you have mentioned on the proximity access system
some are mentioned by another user (sorry, can't remember who)
pros :
1. less possibility of vandal/urination by strangers
2. prevent karung gunu from accessing
3. avoid having stickers from locksmith "vandalising" our doors/gates
4. when away from holiday, may be safer
cons
1. inconvenience in case of malfunction
the list is not exhaustive. welcome anyone to add on!

Anyway, i have check with the pple buying Premiere@Tampines.. They email/call the developer to get the 1:100 scaled plan and get it the next day. So, there is no need to wait till TOP.

wow many enthu-ists here!!! Great! I am for the proximity card access thingy too (VERY SERIOUS). Else, suena will scold ppl.
I don't think we ought to pay anymore cos' we paid quite a lot for this flat.
Elspeth, zuo4 gong1!!! Your job is here!!!
Thanks, Ced for setting up the voting thingy in the PC blog.

makania> good idea. Just cast my vote. In my opinion, based on the current voting results, we may have a hard time getting the system. Only 2 (including myself) are willing to pay up to 1k for the system to be implemented. I guess we have to be fair, in the sense that no one will cut his own profit to satisfy a large number of people. Most probably have to pay. That's what I feel personally.
grace> i never scold la. Just that this is REAL serious stuff...

Yesterday, the town council told me they have not arrived at any decisions. I believe one of the Park Centralians reported that agent(s) said the security system was not approved by town council.
I also checked with one of the agents. He mentioned there are no information passed down with regard to security access system.
