When can I move in?

• You can move in within 30-45days after you have fully accomplished the following: Complete Requirements, Signed Contract to Sell (for buyers under financing) or Deed of Absolute Sale (for Cash Buyers), the minimum required downpayment to move in (for buyers under financing), and the release of clearance from DMCI Homes Documentation Department. Finishing of your unit will only start upon release of clearance from the Documentation Department. If your unit is already ready for punch listing, a Turnover Group Assistant will call you for your unit’s punch listing schedule. Please coordinate with the Turnover Group Assistant for your turnover schedule.
• Provided all the move-in requirements and move-in conditions are met, you can move in to your unit once it is “dressed” and the finishing touches have been completed. The preliminary inspection of the unit shall be conducted with you based on the specified turnover conditions set by DMCI Homes. Arrangements on the installation of the water, electrical, cable and telephone units will also be conducted at this point. Your Condominium Corporation officer shall be more than willing to assist you in this matter.
• If you plan to move in upon acceptance of the unit, please inform our Turnover Group Assistant so that the necessary arrangements can be made to facilitate your move-in.
• In case the buyer fails to inspect the unit within thirty days from the date of notice, it shall be deemed that the buyer has automatically accepted the unit.
• Confident of the quality of DMCI construction, All DMCI Homes developments come with a warranty against construction defects and workmanship within one year from the date of acceptance/turnover by the homeowner. Warranty concerns shall be forwarded to the Property Management Office. However, please take note that the normal wear & tear or misuse by homeowners or tenants is not covered by this warranty.

Are there fees after I move-in?

• Yes, you should provide the payment for your own Meralco Meter deposit (the Meralco Meter will be under your name), the Monthly Association Dues, and other miscellaneous fees from the Property Management.

When do I start paying Association Dues?

• Once the unit has been turned over, you will be obliged to settle the association dues, whether the unit is occupied or not. For example, if a unit had been turned over in July, but you did not move in until August, you are still obliged to settle the Association Dues for July.
