 Why
do we want to stay here?
A Personal View – Denise Ludlow
Firstly on a purely practical level, we only bought our apartment 18
months ago and renovated it, so we definitely don’t want to go
through the entire trauma of moving so soon.
We looked long and hard for about 6 months before finally deciding
upon Clementi Park. We of course had our wish list. Things we had to
have, things we would like, and things we would put up with or deal
with. And to be quite frank, Clementi Park ticked all the boxes.
Great quiet location, large compound, greenery in abundance plus all
the amenities of a condominium. What more could we wish for? I do
hear some say, that’s it’s an old building. Well, in England, where
we originally come from, a 20 year old property is considered
normal, indeed, a youngster in building terms! So for us it just
wasn’t a problem. Any internal problems like leaks; we just dealt
with – no big drama!
As for worrying about if there is enough money in the sinking fund
to pay for the upkeep, possible future major leaks, problems with
lifts and other so called ‘disasters’ etc. We don’t deal in rumours
and made the effort to ask the management the questions. Result, yes
there’s enough! Also, major disasters are covered by insurance. Nice
to know lah!!!See part two in the next
section....
