That's great, strider8! Unfortunately, I'm gonna postpone my trip to CE
. Got a call from my bro. We would be doing some shopping at S&R tomorrow. Sale. S&R always have good sales. They need my credit card. Hopefully there would be good bed linens again. Gonna buy now in prep for my moving in to Carmona Estates. 4 bedrooms to fill with new bed linens.
We would just be going at CE next week, then visit my sister's property at South Forbes. The kids want to swim at the infinity pools at South Forbes.
Good luck at CE. I should have emailed you the Site Development Plan as well, so that you'd have an idea of the village.
If you have an agent, ask him/her to to tour you around from Phases 1-9, and also at Cedar Residences, so that you would have a feel of the whole estate. Then check the amenities. Then give special attention at The Oaks 1, 2, 3 and 4, as well as The Big Oaks.
Again, be conscious of the "
single attached" design. There are several types:
1.
Back-to-back units --> 2 units sharing a back wall. Oakwood BB (right balcony) and Oakwood BA (left balcony)
1-a. On the same level ground
1-b. One unit is higher than the other
2.
Single attached, almost detached --> unit does not share a back wall with another unit, but part of the firewall is attached to the next unit's balcony, and part of the balcony is attached to the other unit's firewall.
2-a. Perimeter unit - Back wall is attached to the village perimeter fence
2-b. Inner unit
2-b-1. Lot is the basic 88 sqm area, but is adjacent to a lot of irregular size (usually bigger than 88 sqm, and is a corner or end unit). The house in the latter is positioned at an angle, making a shared wall impossible.
2-b-2. Lot is bigger than the basic 88sqm area, and is usually a corner or end lot. The house in the latter is positioned at an angle, making a shared wall impossible.
3.
Unit shares a back wall and a firewall. This is the unit that I would never never think of purchasing. There are 2 pairs of Oakwood BB-Oakwood BA that share a firewall. Then each house shares a back wall with another unit. Simply put, an Oakwood BA shares a firewall with the Oakwood BB beside it, and shares a back wall with another Oakwood BB unit at the back. Similarly, an Oakwood BB shares a firewall with an Oakwood BA, and a back wall with another Oakwood BA. It's like paying for the whole house, but just getting half of the firewall, and half of the back wall. If the 4 units share a roof, they could be classified as a quadruplex. Whew!
You would know all of these thru the Site Development Plan on a blue A3 size paper. Ask for a copy of this before reserving a unit. Then check all the available units. Then go to the actual location of the lot, so that you would know its proximity to the amenities, main road, gate, etc.
Hope this helps. Again good luck. Sayang, I could have accompanied you sana. Kaya lang pag ako nag-explain sayo, baka magreserve ka agad.
