r/CondoPH

Edit: budget can go up to 170k if needed

Prefer spacious apartments, good view, low noise (from neighbors/road), well equipped gym, high quality maintenance etc.

Also what’s the lifestyle like in Rockwell for a couple in their early 30s (no kids)? Restaurants? Bars? Cafes? Social life in general?

Hello. We’re looking to rent a condo unit for an incoming UP Manila Pharmacy student. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

We’ve booked a viewing for Victoria De Manila but we heard that the elevator queues there take forever. Any other options that are safe and within walking distance of the university?

Back in 2021, my wife and I were on top of the world. We had just signed the contract for our very first condo unit. It was supposed to be a major milestone, the start of our new life together. To ease the financial burden of the down payment, the sales agent advised us that we didn't need to buy a parking slot right away. They assured us we could easily purchase one later, closer to when we were actually ready to move in. It felt like a smart move at the time, saving us thousands during the heavy payment period.

Pero MALI ang advice ng ahente. The nightmare starts now.

Fast forward to today, and that excitement has turned into dread. We are finally ready to move in, but our dream home is turning into a nightmare. We discovered that a policy memo (I think nung 2022 according to agents). Parking slots are no longer available for purchase by existing unit owners who aren't executing a brand-new contract.

We still wanted to make things work in good faith, so we tried appealing directly to DMCI's sales advisors, offering to pay in cash to show our commitment. Unfortunately, that appeal was rejected as well.

Since that didn't work, we scoured Facebook groups and Reddit posts for available parking slots, but it's very difficult to find one unless an owner is selling their unit or is in financial distress.

Because of this, we feel completely stuck now. The agent's advice left us vulnerable to this rule change, and now DMCI's policy makes it practically impossible for us to secure a space. To make matters worse, this restriction has driven up the prices of existing parking slots dramatically, and the only way to find one at a reasonable rate is through 'pasalo' listings (na sobrang risky and sellers want their cash out agad instead of doing a proper MoA or tripartite).

We really hope there's a way parin that DMCI works with their buyers.

We’re still hoping. I REALLY want us to enjoy this condo unit. Ang dami na nangyayari sa aming mag asawa na emotionally draining. Inisip ko sana na may masaya naman for 2026. Pero wala eh.

Hi guys, need your advice. I'm a working professional earning around ₱80,000 per month, and I'm planning to buy my first condo as my first investment. I'm considering Leaf Residences by SMDC, and my plan is to live in it rather than rent it out.

For those who own or have experience with SMDC projects (especially Leaf Residences), do you think it's worth it? How's the build quality, property management, and overall value in the long run?

I'd really appreciate any honest feedback or things I should consider before making such a big decision. Thank you!

Hello po! Sino po may same situation samin. OFW here. Nakakuha kami ng condo since 2018. 2023 nakuha din namin ang title. then january 2024 nagdecide kami icancel. marami kami tinawagan pinagpasapasahan kami with lots of email na walang matino din na reply. The bank loan na with them BDO even took money sa ibang account. we already signed the surrender form sa BDO last year pero wala ng reply from them.

Si Condo still sending email na dapat magbayad kami ng kung ano ano. Ano bang dapat gawin? we will try to email NPC for request of deletion ng information namin sa kanila. Imagine nagbayad na kami ng almost million sa kanila without the condo na never namin nagamit but naniningil parin sila.

LEGAL BA NA NANINGIL PARIN SILA? since 2024 tumawag at nag email na kami na icancel ang contract pero ang email nila is paniningil ng montly rent at association fee!!!

Hi everyone I hope to ask for your advice so my boyfriend and I we're planning to buy condo for next year. Can I ask for tips or good deals when it comes to buying a studio unit he prefers a 20sqm and our budget is 20k mas inclusive of condo dues.

please be brutally honest with me if this can't be realistic its not our primary home it should be an investment for our future kiddos and also a home here in manila when he comes home every 6months so mots of the time I am alone.

Thanks.

Hi, I am a a prospective tenant with my roommate. We are about to enter into contract signing na and upon seeing the document, hindi po ako kasali sa signatories and covered by it. My roommate and I will be splitting the rental payment and its corresponding terms sa condo.

I was told that isa na lng daw po ang ilalagay and that I was indicated as a tenant (but not in the actual contract as "lessee"). I will be registered naman daw po as tenant sa condo and will enjoy every privilege there is a tenant.

However, I am wondering if I will be protected in the event of disputes ('wag naman sana) or if me being left out as a lessee in the contract would potentially backfire in the future?

Please help me out on this. I don't have much information or someone to talk to na versed when it comes to condo contracts.

hi, everyone! may alam ba kayong condo around moa/aseana??? yung pet friendly sana. my work is located near double dragon kasi. thank you
