More of the same with Azure

More of the same with Azure

Yes, more of the same with Azure.  When speaking and reading what is expressed by Unit Owners in the various buildings, only the wrapping gets better while the product remains the same.

These first pics are from a brochure for Azure.  Remember the brochures we had for other buildings?  Did all those pictures match the end result for the turnover surprises?

The brochure is sideways due to length of the pages.

Does Paris know what the pictures look like in the ads?  Will the result match all the pictures?

 



Just one brochure with several interesting pictures.  And did and do they match reality?

Save all those ads for your files.  Also remember to save the sketches of floor plans and the turnover floor plans and go to the respective city hall and get a copy of the floor plan and entire floor for you unit.  The city plans were those approved for construction.  http://sohocentralcondominium.blogspot.com/2014/03/sketches-vs-plans-vs-unit.html

Guide to Homeownership by Armando Ang: Advertisement

On page 336 from Presidential Decree, Section 19:

"Section 19. Advertisements. Advertisements that may be made by the owner or developer through newspaper, radio, television, leaflets, circulars or any other form about the subdivision or the condominium or its operations or activities must reflect the real facts and must be presented in such manner that will not tend to mislead or deceive the public.

The owner or developer shall answerable and liable for the facilities, improvements, infrastructures or other forms of development represented or promised in brochures, advertisements and other sales propaganda disseminated by the owner or developer or his agents and the same shall form part of the sales warranties enforceable against said owner or developer, jointly and severally. Failure to comply with these warranties shall also be punishable in accordance with the penalties provided for in this Decree."

From the chapter on Condominiums and Townhouses page 390:

"Keep all the copies of sale brochures, advertisements and other sales propaganda for future reference. Try to get the promises made by the agents in written for and signed by the owner/developers..."

Remember, as he writes in the same section, the sales agents may make promises that do not reflect the truth. But as I read in the Decree, the developer and their remarks are held under the law as a possible liability referred to in the above Presidential Decree 957.

For us in Soho Central there was so much to look forward to then so much to regret and now so much to investigate and complain about.

The Fantasy Vision

Does everyone remember this among the wonderful ads and brochures and how about the salespeople and what they told us.  I hear such fantasies continue.

So after watching and remembering cry and then laugh at the truth that is being exposed.

And, if the above is not enough and you need blood pressure to rise more, here is the developers' brochure.
