I would like to see a hacienda or ancestral style home cuz it adds more character to the aesthetics. I really would like to see an ancestral home renovation with Capiz style windows cuz it adds that old world 🌎 charm and add to it the modern appliances with older interior accents..hybrid (old/new) combined. That would be stunning ..🤩 You could be the Filipino version of “This Old House🏠 “ 😁 minus Bob Vila..

I've been trying to persuade my commander in chief to buy a house there. She would not budge, insisting that there are very poor public libraries there which is so rich and enjoys so much here. Alas, she speaks the truth since I've had experience with that when I was there last. So for now, I can only salute the COC and follow her orders. By the way I'm the DTDT in charge in the chain of command, the Do This Do That in charge.

What does the layout look like on the plot? How much land would be available for garden, pool, small playground? Also, what is on the other side of that concrete wall. Is that the river/stream?
@MyPIDream3 жыл бұрын
The designer/builder has set the house size to the maximum footprint size allowable under the 25% Farm Lot rule so there is no room for a pool which falls under the the same 25% footprint of the house. The lot is 750 sqm. The house footprint is 187.5 sqm. So that would leave plenty of room for a garden and small playground. The other side of the wall is developed property and no river or stream as is in other parts of the subdivision. It's possible if you wish to have a pool there you could work with the builder to reduce the size of the house to provide enough space for a pool should you desire.

We have 24 hour security but even in the most guarded gated communities here in the Philippines there is always a threat from those who intend to do bad things. Although not widespread, even our community hasn't been immune to the occasional penetration from crime. I'm aware of about 4-5 incidents over the past 15 years this subdivision has been developed. The best defense is a good offense. Common sense approach to your own property security with 24 hour professional physical security is about all you can do to keep yourself and property secure.

Foreigners are forbidden from buying property in their name with the exception of some business purposes. Normally foreigners purchase property under their Philippine spouse's name. To protect their investment, it is recommended to have the foreigner's name also on the title indicating "as married to" in case the Philippine spouse passes before the foreigner. This gives the foreigner certain rights to sell or dispose the property within "reasonable" time before the inheritance rule activates.

Paul, not sure where you looked for double glazed windows but they are a common option here in our area. We were offered either double or single glazed with our uPVC windows from FourlinQ windows.
