Singapore Property Review

In 1631, Shah Jahan of the Mughal empire was griefstricken after his thrid wife Mumtaz Mahal, died during the birth of their fourteenth child, Gauhara Begum. Construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1632, one year after her death. Themain mausoleum was completed in 1648 and the surrounding buildings and garden with the reflecting pool were finished five years later. This is one of the first condo, that highlights that it has reflecting pools. (By the way) the pools are too shallow even for babies or kiddies to wade in. More likely, it is just nice for froggies... Other famous examples of reflecting pool:-http://en.wik…

Part 2: Feng Shui of Coco Palms condo & the interior layout especially the location of the WC vs bedroom & toilet close to the main entrance door. 1. Where possible always try to avoid sleeping close to the bedroom wall shared with a WC. 2. Try to avoid buying a unit with the WC close to the main entrance door. 3. Do I blindly follow the Sales Brochure North compass marking for this development? 4. Other considerations: https://www.geomancy.net/forums/topic/15313-reading-between-the-lines-of-sales-brochures/?tab=comments#comment-34350

Note: In later reviews, we will take a look to classify each of the buildings. For example, OUB building is considered a Fire element building. While the Overseas Chinese Banking Corporation building, The Ritz-Carlton Millenium is an `Earth Building'. While the United Overseas Bank Plaza One is a `Wood building'. One interesting thing about looking at a large number of buildings is to look at the trends or preferences (if any) of the designs by the architects. Usually, their designs either `caught' the eye of the owners or have to be revised perhaps according to Feng Shui in many instances! One must say that to be fair, the ultimate design is influenced by the buil…

Dear Kohsy, Yes, at the moment, because Geylang is a red light district. And, in my opinion, it looks like this red light district is going to stay for sometime. I believe that, in the next 10 to 15 years at least, this red light district will still be around - geylang. It is not like the government can simply relocate it to e.g. Pulau Ubi etc... Yes, and because of this reasoning; and in a recent documentary, some residents (females) who stay in condos in geylang were asked for such services. As a parent, we are already concerned about our children's education. We do not want to have additional concerns about their `safety' right at our door steps. Many of us cannot affo…

Many Geomancers and buyers always feel uncomfortable with the unit circled in the picture. Most Geomancers would consider that it is no good to stay in a home with a hollow below the home... And visually, many would feel "insecure" even if it is structually safe! Thus most likely, it can affect the re-sale of that unit...

The Yardley Site Plan In reference to my previous comments, if one examines the compass orientation on the site map:- http://www.mclland.com.sg/property/dreamhomes/theyardley/theyardley_siteplan.asp I personally find that many of the units here are not to my liking, as a significant number of them (in my view) will receive direct morning to noon sunlight from the East, and in the evening, many walls will also be exposed to the West (afternoon sun). At times, the heat can linger until 7 or 8 pm in the evening. (There is no concern if rooms are exposed to afternoon sunlight - and if one can afford air conditioning... then, that is acceptable!) Specifi…

Grandeur Park Residences & Shapes and Forms Feng Shui 1. Type 5L - 5 Bedroom Premium 1.1 Many of Grandeur Park Residences layout have the Living Room sharing the same wall as a bedroom. 1.2 In this instance with bedroom 3. If this section of the wall is a dry-wall. 1.3 One would have to be extra careful as to where one mounts the TV. As the contractor would usually mount it on an additional piece of wood which offers not much protection from EMF radiation. 1.4 As there are many brands and models of TV sets; majority of the TV sets do have EMF as high as 20+ milliGauss (mG) or more. In this instance, my EMF meter only reads up to 20+.

Developer: Hoi Hup Holdings Pte Ltd Location: Jalan Rama Rama Tenure Freehold Total No of Units 204 Expected TOP Date 30 June 2008 Types of units: 2 Bedrooms 1,055 to 1,055sqf 3 Bedrooms 1,259 to 1,615sqf 4 Bedrooms 2,939 to 3,025sqf This development has two blocks: The Duke and The Duchess Overall, it looks like all the better units had been snapped up i.e. especially #03 and #05. Blocks #02 and #07 in my opinion are considered unfavourable because of the fact that these units are exposed to the afternoon sun. Imagine! daily (especially in sunny Singapore) one returns to a very warm Master bedroom! and even the bedroom 2 cannot escape the afternoon sun. Do seri…

Feng Shui of HDB BTO Waterway Cascadia Both Blk 316D Stacks #681 & #683 with Blk 316C Stacks #705 & #707 have facing direction of330 degrees. This places these four stacks as NW3 facing direction. And the plus point is that the frontage has a mountain star #6 with water star #8. Thus from now to 2023, this frontage is auspicious as it faces the Punggol Reservoir dam. As it is further inwards from the waterway; it is least affected by the direction of flow of water on the waterway. The negative of these four stacks are that it is bathed by indirect afternoon sun. And lower stacks/unitscan be noisy from the new Sumang Walk road

Location: 1, 3 and 5 Simei Street 3 Developer: Far East Organisation and Nissho Iwai Corporation - Eastpoint Park Properties Pte Ltd Tenure: 99 years TOP was in 1999. This condominium is 3 years old. Total units: 684 Consisting of: 84 studio apartments, 2 bedrooms, 3, 4 and 5 bedrooms. In my opinion, becareful if you are looking at second hand units in this condominium: 1. The units are like in a butterfly design. Inauspicious shape. As butterfiles live a short life. (Real butterflies live for only 1 week). 2. Many of the units have toilets at the centre-point. (Inauspicious). 3. The entire estate is opposite the New Changi Hospital. (In my opinion, as t…

The RC ledges not only gives this development a distinct external outline but follows the 1950's art-deco era of form and function. 4. The function is that it allows each individual unit to have as many windows or openings partially or even fully opened without unduly concerned with the elements such as wind and …

HDB West Scape @ Bukit Batok BTO August 2017 launch 1. As the potential Place of Worship is a street away and directly facing Block 432A stacks 1507 and 1509.
