Another very promising DMCI project in the South! :banana:

When's the target completion of each of the buildings ?
How much are the parking slots?
Is CITRINE the only building with the smallest 2br units at 37sqm + 5.5sqm (balcony)? How much is the projected TCP for a unit like this?
The entrance path is kinda long. Is it as long as the one in Ohana?

1. gaano to kalayo sa Fault Line?

2. ilang mins from Boni mandaluyong to Sienna? (with and without traffic)

3. gaano sya kalayo from Boni mandaluyong? parang Boni - MOA or NORTH?

4. may TOLL pa bang dadaanan papuntang EDSA?

5. sobra ba matraffic sa SLEX?

thanks, mukhang maganda ang mura. sabi kasi 37 sqm + balcony is around 6-7K/month till turnover

Hey I live in Paranaque too

1. Fault Line? Are you speaking of the Marikina Fault Line? that's pretty far.

2-3. Hmm to Boni Mandaluyong, that's a bit far. Much much farther than Boni to MOA. Prolly an hour or so. West Service Road gets easily congested, however this site is close to SLEX Bicutan interchange so that instead of passing thru the long service road you can go into SLEX.

4. Huh? There's no toll along EDSA. You can also avoid going thru the SLEX by using the service roads.

5. SLEX north bound during morning rush hours become congested because of - wait for it - vehicles coming from the service roads.

Many people use the service roads because its free, but later on it will join the SLEX just after nichols interchange. If you're on the service road you can opt to do that or go thru Fort Bonifacio.

South bound, after work hours, going thru SLEX isn't so bad nowadays with the Skyway construction moving on southward to Sucat/Alabang area. At least, for us Bicutan people.

Also a lane for those going to the Bicutan interchange was setup to speed us up guys leaving SLEX thru there.

DMCI Homes offers grand condo lifestyle in the south with Siena Park Residences.

http://dmci-homes.com.ph/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Siena-Park-Residences.jpg

For residents of Parañaque City, Raya Garden Condominiums has emerged as the paradigm of modern condo living — an esteemed address and well-admired community that many families aspire to be part of, as well as for single professionals who consider it a worthy investment.

Project developer DMCI Homes is equally proud of this flagship development that has set the pace for its growth in the industry, leading to its current position as the top name in medium-rise developments in the metro.

It was only natural then for the developer to come up with another project within the vibrant city of Parañaque. DMCI Homes’ latest project is Siena Park Residences, set to rise along West Service Road in barangay Sun Valley, Bicutan. This 3.1-hectare property will consist of 11 five-story, medium-rise buildings offering medium density living and the same winning attributes that have validated the DMCI Homes brand in the industry.
Siena Park Residences presents an option of two-bedroom and three-bedroom units with a generous gross floor area ranging from 48.5 sqm to 83 sqm.

While other projects are situated right in the middle of busy districts, the proximity to such hectic venues subjects residents to noise pollution and a constantly chaotic environment. Siena Park Residences gets the location advantage of being situated in a quiet property bounded by establishments and existing subdivisions such as Marimar Village I and Marimar Village II.

Located only five minutes away from Raya Garden Condominiums, Siena Park Residences is also nearby another popular landmark, SM Bicutan, which is just two minutes away. Other notable commercial establishments are likewise accessible. Glorietta and Greenbelt in Makati are just 20 minutes away via Skyway while Alabang Town Center and Festival Mall Alabang are just 20 minutes away.

Established schools are found within easy travel distance: Don Bosco, Assumption San Lorenzo, and Colegio San Agustin in Makati; International School Taguig, Asia Pacific College Magallanes, St. James Parañaque, Southville International School, San Beda College Muntinlupa, and De La Salle Santiago-Zobel Muntinlupa.

St. Luke’s Hospital Taguig, Asian Hospital and Medical Center are also nearby while business districts, public markets, sports centers, churches, and the domestic/international airports can be reached easily via the Skyway, SLEX, and service roads.

Siena Park Residences is billed as a “genuine tropical garden village with invigorating recreational amenities.” Designed after the same resort lifestyle typical of all DMCI Homes properties, Siena Park Residences will convey a modern contemporary architectural theme that will appeal to the target market of start-up families and upwardly mobile professionals.

The building façade will be articulated by the play of colors, form, and texture while the rest of the structures will be unified by a clean, uncluttered look.

Resort amenities are planned to encourage a relaxed, recreational lifestyle. Outdoor amenities include an activity lawn, playcourt, pool complex with waterplay, and a clubhouse. This central amenities area will be adorned with lush landscaping and attractive accents like a deck and cabanas. Inside the clubhouse, residents will discover plenty of activities in the game room, fitness gym, audio visual room, and multi-function hall. Their household needs will be serviced by a convenience store, water-refilling station, and laundry pick-up station.

Siena Park Residences presents an option of two-bedroom and three-bedroom units with a generous gross floor area ranging from 48.5-sq.m. to 83-sq.m. A total of 985 units are available for a very competitive price range of P2 million to P3.5 million. This is a lower price range compared with direct competitors in the area that also offer resort amenities in terms of per square meter price.

Buyers are assured of efficiently-planned unit spaces as DMCI Homes offers a two-bedroom unit with gross floor area of 48.5-sq.m., featuring top-quality finishes. The unit can accommodate a household of three to four members for the same price of a competitor’s one-bedroom unit sized at 33-sq.m.

With the purchase of a condo unit, residents also get to enjoy DMCI Homes’ signature, first-rate building features such as lower ground floor parking, professional property management service, scenic elevators, roof deck service area, 24/7 security and single-loaded hallways with landscape atriums that maximize the natural flow of light and ventilation inside the building. For young families looking for a primary home as well as yuppies, OFWs, and investors within the Bicutan and Sucat areas, Siena Park Residences will present an upgraded lifestyle within their comfort zone. Clearly, it’s the ideal option where residents from the south can enjoy a grand lifestyle and always feel at home.

DMCI Homes is the country’s premier triple A builder-developer that brings serviced, themed communities within reach of urban families who once had limited residential options, but still aspire to achieve a comfortable, enriching quality of life proximate to their place of interest. For inquiries on Siena Park Residences and other DMCI Homes projects, call 502-8116 or visit the website: www.dmci-homes.com.ph

Young professionals, start-up families, and upgraders from the South now have the option of moving to a DMCI Homes development and enjoy its location advantages with the leading developer’s new project, Siena Park Residences.

Set to rise on a 3.1-hectare prime property, Siena Park Residences will be comprised of 11 five-storey buildings offering medium density living and the same winning attributes that have validated the DMCI Homes brand as the top name in medium-rise developments in the metro, including single-loaded corridor and garden atriums.

With a strategic vantage situated in the quiet side of West Service Road in Barangay Sun Valley, Bicutan, Parañaque City, Siena Park Residences will emerge as a convenient address for professionals working in the business districts of Makati, Bonifacio Global City, and Alabang. They can access these destinations via a short drive or travel distance, passing through main roads such as West Service Road, Skyway, and South Luzon Expressway.

Another benefit of their location will give young families the comfort of having their needs within easy reach, through proximity to various leisure and recreation spots, shopping malls, hospitals, schools, and domestic / international airports.

Located only five minutes away from DMCI Homes’ first project in Parañaque, Raya Garden Condominiums, Siena Park Residences is found nearby another popular landmark, SM Bicutan, which is just two minutes away. Other notable commercial establishments are likewise accessible: Glorietta and Greenbelt in Makati are just 10 minutes away via Skyway while Alabang Town Center and Festival Mall Alabang are just 15 minutes away.

St. Luke’s Hospital Taguig and Asian Hospital and Medical Center are accessible from Siena Park Residences, while public markets, sports centers, churches, and other major destinations can be reached easily via Skyway, Expressway and service road.

While other projects are situated right in the middle of busy districts, the proximity to such hectic venues subjects residents to noise pollution and a constantly chaotic environment. Siena Park Residences gets the location advantage of being situated in a quiet property bounded by industrial districts and residential subdivisions.

Amidst the existing residential projects around its vicinity, Siena Park Residences will present the best value-for-money propositions and stand out as a genuine tropical garden village with invigorating recreational amenities. These include outdoor amenities with an activity lawn, playcourt, pool complex with waterplay, and a clubhouse. This central amenities area will be adorned with lush landscaping and attractive accents like a deck and cabanas. Inside the clubhouse, residents will discover plenty of activities in the game room, fitness gym, audio visual room, and multi-function hall.

Siena Park Residences can be reached via at least two major routes. One is from EDSA: Take the south bound route of EDSA Hi-way; upon reaching Magallanes Interchange flyover, follow lane going to Nichols/SLEX. Drive straight and exit at the Merville tollgate / West Service Road. Drive straight towards Bicutan, and they will find the Siena Park Residences gate beside Toyota Bicutan Showroom.

a.) 37sqm + parking or
b.) 42sqm without parking.

Hi guys, just got my contract to sell. I've got a few questions if you don't mind.

1. Do I need a lawyer to read this? Wala kasi ako lawyer. I checked and tama naman yung amounts na nakasulat dito. Ayaw ko na sana gumastos for a lawyer :ohno:

2. Bakit hiwalay na contract for the unit area and drying cage? Ganun ba talaga?

3. Standardized ba lahat ng contents ng CTS and supplement ng DMCI? Comment ko lang na parang napaka one-sided hehe. Puro fees, penalties sa side ng purchaser. Waived pa ang right ng purchaser to press charges against the Developer/Seller. Lumalabas pa na ang purchaser ang nagoffer na bumili ng unit and nagagree lang ang developer/seller :lol:

Pag late naman delivery ng project, wala lang. Reimbursible pero hindi sinabi ilang taon magaantay ng refund :bash: At least 2 years warranty hehe :)

1. You don't really need a lawyer to read it. Just read it thoroughly.
2. Because they are 2 separate titles. 1 set of contract per title, and payments will be distributed between the 2
3. Yes, basically contract ng payments mo yan and what to expect. In the event delayed, you can put your payments on hold for the balance portion.

Don't forget about turnover fees which you need to settle on turnover of your unit. Hindi nakasulat diyan yung amount pero expect it to be around 30k. This is different from closing fees.

ask ko lang po if the closing fee is usually paid in cash or check? Hinihingan kasi ako ng postdated check for the closing fees. is this the norm?

Yes.. you pay in cash through check. All payments you make should be through PDCs. What is meant by "paying closing fees in cash" is you settle the whole closing fees on your first amortization which is 3.6% TCP.

hi DMCI, ask ko lang if ever i want to rent a parking slot sa Siena, do i need to work on it now? is it in a first come first serve basis? i purchased unit at Auburn..paki advise lang po kung paano ang system? thanks :)

Hi Ramilb!

If you are interested in renting a parking space in Siena Park, you can have it arranged when you have finally moved-in. Usually, some of those who have bought parking slots are offering their slots for rent. However, it is still advisable to buy your own as reserving a slot is in a first come, first serve basis.

DMCI Homes may offer street parking slots for lease in the future, but these may also be offered soon to interested buyers.

Thanks!

Social Media + Real Estate Business

It is an undeniable fact that social media has been widely accepted as the key that opens the doors to prospect clients and has establish interaction to a more large scale. Comparing social networking to traditional way of marketing, it can be considered a more effective and efficient way to market product and business. Online businesses have incorporated widgets and toolbars, created fan pages, circles, groups and accounts just to extend there reach to potential customers. Real estate business is one of the industries that have been greatly influenced by social media. The University of Maryland's Smith School of Business conducted a study about the relationship of social networks to businesses and they found out the in the United States of America, technology adoption rate has double comparing it to the past year, from 12 percent to 24 percent respectively. From this study it is noticeable that many businesses have integrated social networks and is no surprise why they have included social marketing as a part their internet marketing strategy. :banana::banana:

Better ask your agent that one. Anyway, we visited the site last January. I'd just like to point out that there is no sidewalk being built along the driveway from West Service road to Sienna Park. Are they going to make a shaded walkway? Here are some pics.

blueknight1968

March 13th, 2012, 08:44 AM

Nice but indeed a long walk. Based on the site development plan in the DMCI website, there appears to be no covered pedestrian lane. Perhaps administration can allow the commuter tricycles or pedicabs to drop off customers beyond the guard gate. Or not, if there are security considerations.

brian504

March 13th, 2012, 09:44 AM

You're right. I just checked the plan and there's no covered walkway. I was hoping for at least a sidewalk so we wouldn't have to walk on the road. I guess I'm ok with tricycles as long as they implement some kind of security measure.

As of now, site viewing is still only on Sundays. Model units are to be opened early April (hopefully) if not within the month. The crane has already been moved farther away from Auburn building (the first to be turned over, this year). It is expected that soon, the site will be opened for viewing any day.

Saw the model units of Sienna Park last 28 April. There's a two bedroom and a three bedroom model unit in Auburn. Lots of space saving ideas. Sorry I didn't take pictures. I was more interested to see where my unit at Lilac would be relative to the amenities. Like. It would be a long walk and from the service road entrance to the units. Hope there's another entrance at the back. SMDC will be building a condo right beside SM Bicutan, just before Toyota and then Sienna Park.

I've already saw this before getting a unit here in Siena Park. While it is regrettable those things happened to them and it is inexcusable that the after sales service supposedly suck, I found that there is no 'perfect' developer (at this price point at least). DMCI is one of the better developers I think. Hey, at least the project looks like it will be delivered on time :) As with everything else in the PH, you must do your due diligence and constantly follow up.

Sure thing madam!
Actually i'm a Contractor (beds & cabinets) but I stopped for a while nag focus sa work and other biz and now slowly planning for a comeback. U might want to check facebook:bedsbyfraz@yahoo.com. I'm also planning to have my Auburn unit as our model unit probably 4th quarter of this year.

I think their rule is once completed un 10% we can go ahead and move in plus paying the turn over fees. Pwede nmn din if u want early turn over you pay for the remaining balance to complete the 10%.

brian504

June 28th, 2012, 02:44 AM

ahh ok. sa case ko kasi 20% yung downpayment spread until turn over. hopefully, hindi ipapabayad one-time yung remaining balance to complete the 20% if ever maaga rin matapos ang building namin :D

PurpleRib

June 28th, 2012, 04:30 AM

Yes true na pwede na mag early move in ang mga may unit sa Auburn.

Regarding fees, here's an estimate (our agent is asking us to prepare):

Move in fees - 30-50K (may sobra na yan)
Bank fees - 60-70K (depende sa loanable amount, I think 1M is like 18K so +MRi etc pa)

Dun naman sa question if need pa bayaran ang remaining na DP installment - the answer is NO. Kung ano ang nakalagay sa computation which you signed, yun yun. Kaya nga they are only trying to contact unit owners who already made a 10% DP, regarding the Closing fees, I think ito ang kelangan i-fast track. Kame kase, we chose na ilagay ang Closing fees sa last DP namin (medyo madugo) and sabi ni agent though, kung sakali na early move in kame, no need na magbigay new cheque para ma fast track ang Closing fees. Leave it as it is na daw :-) Yung iba ata kase eh naka spread ang Closing fees sa monthly DP.

Also, swerte natin na nakakuha na ng unit kase mas mababa ang Closing fees. Ngayon kase, 10% na ng unit cost ang Closing fees (mahal masyado).

The last time we were there, nililinis na mga units for inspection. May mga na-contact na kaso siguro dahil masyado malaki fees na ilalabas to move in, di pa maka move in. Nasa atin din naman daw if we want na to move in or not kung binigyan ng priviledge of early move in.

PurpleRib

yup agree..i propose you go and visit the site..di naman ganun kasikip once andun ka na..for me its decent enough and a good place na din..presko yung area..its almost the same sa project nang dmci na napuntahan ko like Raya Garden..

Yes right, di naman siya mukhang cramped. Presko ang place and light pa din ang feeling naman. Ang isang side kase is the main road and the other side naman eh parang walk way ng mga tao kase it's landscaped. It's on the opposite sides though. Overall, okay pa din naman sa laki ng area at sa dame ng unit owners. Not bad at all :-)

Also got a call from someone sa DMCI. This person said they were already contacting Auburn owners on early move in, way ahead of the original October advice. Mukhang malapit na maging RFO ang Auburn sa Siena.

One thing that bothered me though. Sabi ng taga DMCI na ang actual turn over cost is PhP 40k. Eto daw yung water and electric meter deposit and other stuff. Humingi ako ng breakdown pero kumabig yung kausap ko sabi estimate palang. Eh ang pagkaalam ko di dapat lalagpas ng 15k ang cost ng mga kuntador at pagkabit ng utilities.

I spoke with a friend and confirmed na ganito din daw yung siningil sa kanya ng DMCI when she moved in to another development. May part pa daw na "deposit" part yung 40k na refundable shortly after move in pero isang taon na sila di pa makuha yung "refund."

Meron bang may contact sa PMO o sa DMCI mgmt dito baka pwede i confirm lahat to. Masyado mahal.

I think, mababa masyado ang 15K na cost. Kahit nga bahay na pinatayo, kulang ang 15K as fees for the water pakabit and the electricity. Eh meron pa assoc dues (unit + parking) and deposit pa.

Anyone who had moved in na to Auburn?

Glad to know how was the move! :-)

Good thing pala, we got our units na in Siena kase nag increase pala ang closing fees ng ibang DMCI projects to 10% (from 4.5%) - too steep na ito.

As of now, di pa kasama ang Siena. Pero baka daw next month may memo na din for 10% increase. Kaya for those na may unit but no parking at nagpa plano, get your parking slot na. Sayang din.

Just need the following questions answered:
1. Why is the "association joining fee" is so expensive? I mean to take this into perspective it would be like paying 667 PhP / sqm for a 60 sq unit, one time.
2. Will there be transparency on where this money is going to be spent on?
3. Who determines the "association joining fee"? The central PMO department in Bangkal office or the Siena park PMO only?
4. What's the basis for setting the association fee amount? I've seen a PDF file from the web and the turnover fees vary widely across different projects.

Unfortunately these days will need to be very careful about cashflow. If I don't get a satisfactory answer then I'll probably be doing my own research and then write several letters to escalate the matter... so far customer care has not been very useful at all with this.

The "association joining fee" you are referring to I think is the "move in fee" --- obviously, you were not so much informed about the fees. This is the breakdown (If I remembered it right, you said it's 40K?):

-- meralco meter, water, assoc dues which is 25 or 27 pesos/2q mtr only and another one which slipped my mind at the moment

These days, mahal na po ang meralco meter. Kahit nga townhouse lang, inaabot na ng 10K+ sa meter pa lang. Hindi naman manlalamang ang DMCI sayo, it will all be into paper kung ano ano mga babayaran mo.

All in all fees to move:

--- Move in fees
--- Bank fees (if mortgaged ang condo)
--- Closing fees (if you did not opt for the monthly payment na nakadagdag sa monthly installment DP mo)

I hope it helps.

Thanks, Mike!

My mom is one of the first to live on Dona Soledad; the street does not flood easy, and remains at a low level when it actually does.

Lavender and Peach are the last two buildings due November 2013 (Lavender was originally estimated at September). Peach is a half building, so I was wondering how its elevator and atrium layout would be (if there is an atrium garden).

I asked for the price of the parking and was told 511k... up from 400k? would have loved to have a parking space but it's above my budget.

August 7th, 2012, 10:39 AM

Yes, 511K na ang parking space.

If you plan to buy a parking space, do it now as the closing fee is still at 4.5%, maybe by next month it will already be 10%. It is already imposed on some projects. Sayang naman ang matitipid.

Finishes are done po kasi depending on the clients, if they already want to move-in early. Moving in takes 30 to 45 days, kasi dun pa lang sinisimulan ang finishes of their units. Kaya bagong bago pa talaga ang finishes.

Finishes are done po kasi depending on the clients, if they already want to move-in early. Moving in takes 30 to 45 days, kasi dun pa lang sinisimulan ang finishes of their units. Kaya bagong bago pa talaga ang finishes.

Hello,
We requested for early move-in as early as June 26, but we were informed that they are just started the finishing 2 or 3 weeks ago..when po ba ang earliest possiblity to move-in sa Auburn building?

Second, until now DMCI haven't release the final move-in fees..with barely one month to go before the RFO..still no final computation?

thanks po!

Hello, sorry for the late reply. If it started 2 or 3 weeks ago means they should be calling you by this week or the next week for your move-in date. They should also be informing you of how much is your "move-in fees" by then, if not upon turnover of your unit. Just keep checking on it from time to time po for them to know that you're really looking forward for your early move-in.:)

@ kennethvon - agree! low risk lang sa earthquake si Siena. Yan ang isa sa chineck namin before we place a reservation with our unit :-) Pero if there will be an earthquake, mas safe pa nga tayo na nasa mid rise condo kasi mas strong yung foundation ng tirahan natin, unlike pag house.

@ramilb - wow, very near na ang lipat niyo. Please update us once naka-move na talaga kayo ha. Nga pala, ang mamahal ng cabinet maker na nakikita ko. For master's, kid's room, CR and little upgrade sa kitchen will cost around 100K+ na. Pero you might want to check with Designmo (kita ko lang siya sa sulit and has a shop sa Cainta area ata, bit reasonable ang price niya pero di ko pa sure sa gawa). You can check though :-)

@plipp17 - wow, goodluck! So seems like, you're moving na din sa Auburn?

Last time we went there, we checked our unit sa Magenta. We get to measure na yung mga kelangan para maka pag scout na ng cabinet maker and appliances as well (excited much).

@purplerib Yup. well hopefully before Xmas makumpleto na lahat =)

can you email me a sample design...ill give you a reasonable quotation for free =). bedsbyfraz@yahoo.com

Wala talaga akong design, pero gusto ko yung closet na nasa model units, yung sliding na ang door nila (to save space).

If you can give an estimate cost of that one, pati na din sa master's for the same style pero a little bigger mas okay para ma-compare din ng ibang naghahanap dito ng maker :-)

By the way, you mentioned din na may LOG na, next is pay bank fees na di ba? Pa-share naman how much will it cost you ha.

Thanks

UCPB kc un kinuha ko natataasan nga ako sa bank fees nila compared to BPI, but i got no choice coz BPI is not offering 10-10-80 promo. Both gave 80% approval pero ang laki ng difference sa fees and interest.

UCPB total fees = 46,000
BPI total fees = less than 30,000 (d ko mhanap un email nun exact fees)

I'll send separate email for the quotation witihin the week. Mejo busy d2 sa office eh.

^ganun ba, gusto ko pa naman ng BPI.

What is this 10-10-80 promo?

I supposed 10 is DP? then the other 10? and 80 is for the bank, right?

For our unit kase, we have 15% DP. So paano kaya yun ano? kelangan 20% ang DP if BPI?

Mataas ang fees ni UCPB ha. Ano pala ang principal amount ng loan?

Thank you

Yup mas gusto ko din BPI pra auto debit nlng and I can easily manage my account online...But they can't give me 90% approval coz I have a car loan with them na kc.

And also idagdag ko na...I was not informed about this matter before getting the unit. I thought 90% can be easily covered by the bank. Dapat cguro i-explain din ng mga agents lahat ng possible scenarios in applying for bank financing ndi puro sales talk lang. There's a lot to consider din kc lalo na if u r not a cash buyer.

Re:10-10-80 *got this from dmci page

10-10-80 Scheme: UCPB Ultra Special Sample Computation
P2.3 Million TCP (less 2% if paid 10%DP in 30 days) P2.254 Million

1st 10% DP- 225,400
2nd 10%- 225,400 in 24 mos @ 0% interest = P9,391.66
80% - 1,803,200 15 yrs to pay = 21,352.25
1st 24 months amortization = 30,743.91
After 24 months = 13,673.68 for the next 13 years
U nid to cash out the remaining 5% if BPI will not give you 85% loan take out.

Around 1.8M un approved loan ko

@ plipp17 - Thanks sa mga details. It helps a lot.

Between BPI and UCPB din ang choice namin, BPI kasi loyal client kami. Haha. UCPB kasi yan ang suggestion ng agent namin. Di din ako informed sa 20% DP sa BPI, but I will ask nga may agent kung ganun talaga.

We already have pre-approved loan sa BPI nung year 2010 kaso we didn't avail it. Ire-reapply ko ulit siya siguro early next year since May 2013 pa naman turn-over ng unit namin.

Malapit na ang October, update kayo mga Auburn peeps ha. Goodluck!

Hello..got info from DMCI that Auburn RFO will be on Oct 1st. We will be inspecting our unit on 29th prior acceptance. The estimated cost of move-in fee is more or less 40K daw, wala pa final computation from PMO..

Ang mahal na pla ng parking slot...How much would be the monthly rental rate? Anyone knows.

usually P3,500/month ang rate. Suggest you buy na lang sayang din kasi if you'll be staying sa condo ng matagal in 10 years you've already paid 400+ Pwede mo din naman sya ipasok sa dmci leasing to rent out kung di mo magamit

Thanks for the info...i think 3500 is the rate for DMCI Taguig but for Sienna probably less than 3000 lang dapat.

Question on bank loan. Say, I get a unit on a 10% DP and would take out a loan for the 90% balance, and BDO, for instance, would approve a maximum of 70% of the appraised value of the unit.

1. Is the 'appraised value' equal to the TCP or the bank will be using a different calculation?
2. Do I have to cash out the 20% that the bank wouldn't cover? Can I go in-house for the 20%?

TIA! :)

1. They should use the 70% of the TCP, then the interests depending on your payment terms.

2. You don't have to cash out the 20%(i'm understanding this as paying the 20% in full), but you need to pay the 20% as it is a requirement for your bank approval in BDO. You can go In-House until you get to pay the 20% then you can restructure for bank financing. OR to another Bank that could cover the remaining 90% balance.

Whatever amount is left and not covered by your approved bank loan, that's the one that you need to pay in full to DMCI. Luckily I was approved for a spread out of the remaining 10% that was not covered by my bank loan. I'll be paying that to DMCI in 24 moths plus the bank's monthly loan amortization under 10-10-80 UCPB special promo. But according to them they will no longer entertain and accept request like that.

Wow, that's quite steep. I'd end up paying the closing fees, moving-in fees, and the 10% that bank won't cover (if ever) all at the same time. That's over 600K in one go!

Is it still possible to change the payment scheme? I mean, for example, I'd signed up for 10-90% and have just started paying for the monthly down payments, and in light of the possible issues I may face upon turnover, I'd like to switch to 15-85% instead. If I'm accorded the extra 4.5% discount, I'd keep the remaining balance to under 2M which I hope the bank could then cover.

Btw, I'm getting multiple, conflicting computation sheets. I don't know who's messing it up there but it's becoming a bait-and-switch situation which is actually illegal - at least in the US. I still haven't reached my boiling point but I'm expecting a better service from DMCI than this.
