<p><span class="drop_cap">A</span>s with other new launch projects from Knight Frank, I thought it would be nice for a last minute (very unfortunately) would be asked questions about the upcoming Viva relaunch</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s the discount I&#8217;m expecting if I&#8217;m buying?</strong></p>
<p>The discounts from the list price is as follow depending on the schema that you take for the purchase:-</p>
<ul>
<li>By Normal Progressive Scheme, you get a 10% off the listed price</li>
<li>By Interest Absorption Rate, you get a 8% off the listed price</li>
<li>By Deferred Payment Scheme, you get a 7% off the listed price</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Finishing? Is it good?</strong></p>
<p>Great! I&#8217;ve seen the things that they are throwing in. You&#8217;d love the Miele kitchen if you&#8217;re a kitchen person (washer and dryer not included though). The fridges are integrated and makes the whole seemed blending. </p>
<p>White marble for your flooring gives a very clean and elegant look; in fact it brightens up the whole apartment.</p>
<p>Very functional layouts too.</p>
<p><strong>When is the Temporary Occupancy Permit going to be issued?</strong></p>
<p>Estimated in June 2013.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s the status of the construction?</strong></p>
<p>They&#8217;re currently laying the foundation, so be expect for your mortgage to start kicking in at the 10% level as the foundation should be finishing soon.</p>
<p><strong>When is the actual launch?</strong></p>
<p>The actual launch will be on the 8th of August 2009. Co-broke agents are welcomed to liaise with us.</p>
<p><strong>How many units were actually sold?</strong></p>
<p>As of some latest news update, a total of 58 units were snapped up.</p>
<p><strong>What are units sold? And what will be released for tomorrow?</strong></p>
<p>Refer to the <a href="http://bensonkoh.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/benson-viva-elevation-chart.gif">elevation chart here</a> (might not be the latest, but keep looking as I&#8217;ll try my best to give you the latest). All stacks are released from level 05 to 09, level 14 to 16 and both level 24 and 25.</p>
<p><strong>Is there going to be a side gate? Where is it going to be?</strong></p>
<p>There will be one side gate that opens up directly for you to walk to United Square.</p>
<p><strong>What road will the main entrance be facing?</strong></p>
<p>Your main entrance will be from Suffolk Walk. Thomson Road is a busy road. Besides, it&#8217;s a cul-de-sac (no through road), giving some exclusivity to developments along Suffolk Walk.</p>
<p><strong>What is the price going to be like?</strong></p>
<p>We&#8217;re expecting a median range of at least $1,500 per square foot for most units.</p>
<p><strong>I&#8217;m interested in the Penthouse or the Sky-suites, how come I cannot find the layouts from your brochure?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://bensonkoh.com/contact-me/">Contact me</a> and I&#8217;ll send it to you separately.</p>
<p><strong>Err where&#8217;s the layouts and brochure download?</strong></p>
<p>Do refer to the <a href="http://bensonkoh.com/2009/allgreen-relaunching-viva-in-novena-soon/">blog entry for Viva here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Who should I be contacting to book my units in Viva for priority?</strong></p>
<p>Any of your Knight Frank agents to get into tomorrow&#8217;s preview. Or else any of your preferred agents to the main launch on Saturday. We co-broke <img src='http://bensonkoh.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>If any buyers who wants to get into the preview tomorrow on Friday have no one to bring you in, you may contact me at +65 91253045.</p>
