LOT PLUS HOUSE CONSTRUCTION PACKAGE

 BF PARAÑAQUE, BF RESORT, MEADOWOOD, TOWN AND COUNTRY, WINDSOR

Project Details

What is the Lot plus House Construction package?

Uniquely a ServeQuest Inc. concept, the Lot plus House package is a 2 step transaction where the buyer first purchases the property of a lot owner. Once the title is transferred in the name of the new owner/s, construction of house commences on purchased lot.

How is purchasing a Lot plus House  different from buying a House & lot?

Purchasing a house and lot normally is a single transaction entered into by the buyer and the house and lot owner. The lot plus house method makes the process cheaper with regards to title transfer, permits and miscellaneous fees.

Can existing lot owner of the village request SQI to build a house using the design?

They may do so and choose from the designs we offer. There is no need for a down payment just as long as the lot owner passes the bank’s income requirements and the clean title is used as collateral with the bank.

Do you sell lot only?

No. We only offer the lot plus house construction as a package.

Reservation Procedures and Documentary Requirements

How much is the reservation fee?

CAVITE PROJECTS:      Php 10,000 for the lot payable to the Lot Owner

Php 10,000 for the house payable to ServeQuest Inc./Ecoland Builders

PARAÑAQUE PROJECTS:         Php 25,000 for the lot payable to the Lot Owner

Php 25,000 for the house payable to ServeQuest Inc./Ecoland Builders

Why are the payment for the Lot & House separate?

The Lot plus House concept involves the selling of the lot to a new owner then construction of the house on the newly acquired property. These are two different agreements. One between the lot owner and the buyer. And another between the new owner and the contractor. Thus, the two checks being paid to two different personalities.

What are the documents needed to reserve the unit?

We will require a completely filled up Client Information Sheet, signed Reservation Agreement (for both lot owner and SQI/SQP), the reservation fee of Php 50,000/Php 10,000 and photocopy of valid IDs with 3 specimen signature

What contracts need to be signed by the buyer?

• Contract to Sell (CTS) care of lot owner
• Construction Contract of SQI
• Deed of Absolute Sale (DOAS) care of lot owner (if with bank approval)
• Deed of re-conveyance (if with bank approval)
• Deed of Assignment

Financing Requirements and Procedures

What are the terms of payment?

From the Total Contract Price,  Twenty Percent (20%) down payment is payable in 3, 6, 12, or 18 months (less Reservation) and Eighty Percent (80%) loanable through bank.

What is the bank process and who will process it?

The client must submit their complete requirements within thirty (30) days and sign the Contract To Sell. ServeQuest will then submit these documents to the bank for processing.  The bank will inform both ServeQuest and the client whether they qualified for the pre-approval of the loan. Within the downpayment stage, the client will have to update such items like  their Income Tax Return, payslip, COE (Certificate of Employment with Compensation), etc. to process the approval of the Letter Of Guarantee. After the approval, the client will need to go to the bank and sign the bank documents for the LOG. Once the LOG is issued to ServeQuest, the title will then be transferred to the client. Client will then sign the Deed of Sale and other requirements for the bank take out.

Who handles the requirements and processing?

ServeQuest will handle all bank processing, transfers, appraisal fee and other charges on processing the loan.

Why don’t you offer Pag-Ibig financing for the lot plus house package?

We encourage the client to choose Bank Financing because there are less requirements needed and they offer lower interest rates.

How long does it take the bank to approve a loan? 

The usual estimate given to the client is 1 month, as per the bank.

Are discounts given?

A 5% discount is given for spot down payment & also a 5% discount for spot cash of the total selling price.

Can I request for an extension for my down payment terms? 

This request has to be done in writing and will be subject to approval of the management.

Is there any chance to apply our loan through banks other than those accredited by your company? 

There are specific agreements between developers and accredited banks that your bank may not agree to. However, if the client insists, and if approved by ServeQuest management, he must be fully aware of and agree to pay the corresponding bank fees and charges of accrediting the property he wishes to purchase to his chosen bank.

Is change of unit or transfer of location allowed?

 YES. Provided that the ff. are observed:

• Transfer fee is required
• Current selling price
• Original schedule of payment will be followed

Is there a possibility of cancellation or forfeiture of account?

Yes. The ff. are the grounds for cancellation:

• Failure to pay any equity installment or to complete the down payment
• Failure or refusal to sign the Contract to Sell within 5 days from the date of

notice

• Failure to submit all documentary requirements within 60 days from

payment of the reservation fee

• Willful misrepresentation or falsification of any document submitted
• Failure to appear for loan counseling
• Withdrawal from the Agreement for any reason

Construction and Turnover

What method of construction is used?

The method of construction used is called cast in place construction. Removable metal forms are assembled together  according to the shape and specifications required to follow the house design. Mixed concrete is then poured between the metal forms and allowed to cure before these are disassembled and reused for the second level. This method spread out the load of the house to all the walls as compared to the traditional building where posts and beams carry the load of the house. That is why the cast in place system allows the walls to be very strong and can withstand 2,500 psi (pounds per square inch) as compared to hollow block walls that can only withstand 600-800 psi.

When does the construction of the unit take place?

ServeQuest shall commence the construction of the PROJECT upon fulfillment of all of the following:

Full payment of the down payment, and discrepancy amount between the contract price and loan amount approved, if any;

1. Approval of the construction loan application of the owner and issuance of a guaranty from an accredited financing institution;
2. Full payment to the developer/seller of the above-mentioned lot and transfer of title to the OWNER; and
3. Issuance of the building/construction permit by the local government and homeowners association.

What are the specific timelines on each process until turn over of house? 

Completion of the PROJECT shall be approximately twelve (12) months from Commencement of Work.

The owner is given 30 days from the date of acceptance to report defects that may surface after turnover. ServeQuest is duly obliged to inspect and rectify these concerns. However, damage of store-bought materials (such as, but not limited to bidet sprays, shower head, faucets, outlets, switch, etc.) from wear and tear will not be covered by this warranty.  Structural works shall have fifteen (15) years warranty while finishing works shall have one (1) year warranty.

What are the causes of the delay of construction? 

The construction schedule is based on the individual status of buyer’s completion of documents, approval of financing loan, transfer of title and processing of building permit. If and when these items have been met, construction will start and be done in 6 months after the loan take-out and release of building permit. Delays in construction concerns are forwarded to the contractor for answers when the need arises.

What is the most common misunderstanding between the buyer and the agent regarding the actual finish of the unit?

Most buyers assume that since they have completed their downpayment and discrepancy amount between the contract price and loan amount approved (if any), construction will start right after. Construction will start only after the loan takeout (Bank or Pag-Ibig) and release of building permit. This means that the lot has been paid, the title of the property has been transferred to the new owner and the local government has approved construction of the unit. Delays in the Transfer of Title or non-approval by the lending institution (Bank or Pag-ibig) that causes the delay in the release of the loan does not require the contractor to begin construction.

Can I request for any alteration or changes of the unit? 

Technology being used is reinforced concrete Cast-in-Place. This housing unit is using an engineered and patented Steel Formworks System. Hence, the you are prohibited from making any changes, alterations, modifications, or, additions in the plans and specifications

Are there association dues, electricity fees or water fees that need I to pay? 

The connection for utilities, such as electricity, water, cable, telephone and the likes, is not included in the scope of work and is the sole responsibility and for the account of the owner. The owner undertakes to apply for temporary water and power before the start of construction.

Prior to move-in by the owner, he shall pay the following expenses already advanced and paid, if any, by ServeQuest, to wit:

1. Real Estate Taxes during the construction period;
2. Association Dues;
3. Interest of loan on the lot and construction, including corrective interest;
4. Advance Insurance Coverage;
5. Collateral expenses in securing permits such as acquisition of fire extinguisher, smoke detector, hydrants, etc.
