The views from the condo are amazing, Rod! Yes, kitchen in spanish is "cocina". Did you eat in the spanish restaurant there in front from the condo, as you said?
You may want to advise your subscribers to watch as the 2nd room you showed isnice however i rented a a room at the quest hotel (I thought was ver nice ) but b/c it had 2 windows to the outside on a corner room the view was nice but I had to move after 1 day b/c the air con (1 unit) couldnt keep up even with the large heavy drapes closed all day. I will say the windows weren't able to be opened. As maybe we were on 7th or 8th floor we would have a good breeze to keep it cool but when we we took 1 widow room the air was fine
Obviously you would want to rent for at least 6 months to know the area. Then decide if you want to buy. What is your opinion post CV19, do you see prices dropping? From what I’m hearing, people are less likely to be moving or traveling to foreign countries.
It seems people are trying to hold their prices but one should be able to find motivated sellers in the coming months. The economy worldwide and travel restrictions make everything worth less.
Amazing Philippines yes it’s tough to hold prices when you don’t have a demand. Obviously the demand for rental or purchasing foreign property will be impacted drastically.
I just had an email exchange with the owner who is stuck out of country and he is willing to negotiate offers Zerinth. Apparently a past renter walked off with some furnishings also.
@@whiteboymax250 i agree its the same with hotels as well. However if you hunt around you can find affordable value for money. I had a quick look on rentpad and found decent 1br or studios at: Mivesa Gardens, One Oasis, Mabola Gardens Flats around 12 - 14k with gym and swimming pool balcony etc. I would not pay more than 12k if you dont have these amenities. If i wasnt bothered about swimming pool then its cheaper to rent a bigger house lol.
I thought your video was informative, however I did not hear you quote a rental price for the one bedroom condo. I don't mean to be disrespectful but the bidet in the bathroom is a French word. Therefore when bidet is properly pronounced the last letter (T) is silent and not included in the pronunciation. Just an FYI in the event that you continue to make videos with this item included in the CR.
Thanks Mike. Yes, I am familiar with French bidet. The owner is stuck out of country and an agent is handling the details. Email me at noisemasters@gmail.com for his info.
Most do not Michael. I have also had to use door/window insulation around them to try to keep in more of the cooler AC air. Big gaps around doors, AC units, and poor sealing windows.
Thank you for your answer. It amazes me to find countries that generally don't use window screens because in the States, if I have even a small tear in a screen, I will definitely have mosquitoes enter. I have to maintain the screens very well because one mosquito is enough to keep me awake and crazy throughout the night. I imagine this would also be a problem in the Philippines.
what is the process for having your electric turned on in the Philippines like deposits or down payment i am going to move there for retirement and no one is talking about start up fees for electric and water and so forth?
Great question Bobby. My electric bills have always been in the condo owners name and I just paid it at a "payment" kiosk or business like 7-11 or many others set up to receive payments. One can often do it online now through GCash, etc also. Setting it up in your own name may require a deposit but I haven't had to do that.
That is my email Karina. The owner doesn't want to be bombarded with requests so contact me if you are serious. I think he has 4 for rent and is willing to sell perhaps also but doesn't want to drop his price too much.
I like your reviews and it’s good to see a lot more apartments but I’d like to know the price at the beginning as it seem to be wasting a lot of time just looking at bits and pieces , time is the essence
Thanks Andy. Prices are a bit negotiable especially during these times. Length of stay figures in of course. The studios start around 17,000 for a year lease and more for shorter term. Negotiable. My email is noisemasters@gmail.com
18k for a studio apt. Wow! Im renting a big three bedroom ,two bath. Big 1000 sq. Meter property super nice!! American standards , garage and nice fence. Two minutes from the beach 16.000 per month. On this beautiful safe, clean island. You can have the city. I will stay in clean air.

The exchange rate is about 48.4/1 US dollar. It averages about 50/1 so divide the pesos by the rate of your country. 15000/ by 50= $300 20,000/ 50= $400

Welcome aboard Selwyn. Cebu City is a small "big" city. It offers options that the smaller cities may not.
Your library is extremely impressive so many choices i'm assuming the higher you go on a condo the more money it cost
That is often true Michael. Higher means more $$ and view also affects it.

The one bedroom was a nice size. I stayed in a City Suites building on my 2nd trip to Bacolod. Thanks for the info! Stay safe out there!
Thanks for sharing that James. I love the view.
If moving to Philippines not moving into a high rise, defeats my purpose of a tropical paradise...

@@AmazingPhilippines1 I live here there is very good noise insulation in the building
I liked the 2nd unit. That green (1st) unit is hard on the eyes.
I agree Mike. Thanks.
I love the fact the safe in 1 bedroom apartment was loose and obviously lightweight so it can be picked up and taken away
LOL. I understand Ian.
I stayed in 2 different apartments there. Unfortunately they have problem with the water supply (toilet flush doesnt work properly and so on)
Interesting and thanks.
No problem with the water supply in City Suites for a long while now. I think most of Cebu was suffering the exact same problem a few months ago
Do you have any problem with the water pressure up so high ? I figured you may need a water pump to get your pressure.
\
Many of these buildings already pump water up to a tank on the roof John, so no problems here.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 Thank you Rod for your prompt reply. My third daughter used to own a multi story condo in Sydney. They had a pumping system there with a hot water tank in the roof cavity. The hot water was free but the charges were met out of the building levy.

Yes, many rents are negotiable.
Where is the bathroom? In the balcony?
No electric on so very dark in the CR Luven.
At 9:25 I noticed that closet safe wasn't even bolted down, not sure if I'd trust that at all....LOL
I chatted with the owner who is stuck out of country and it seems that a tenant walked off with several things and too late to track him down.
So, if you’re renting do you still pay the HOA fee as well or is it paid by the owner?
Most but not all landlords will include the HOA fees in the rental quote. Be sure to ask when negotiating the terms.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Carlos.

Thanks for the visit Jane. I do like that view. I would consider it but hope to make a trip to the US and not sure when I will be allowed back in.

gym and swimming pool? I assume the ones after the first one (at 18k) were more expensive as you didnt say. Too pricey...not good value imo.
I just had an email exchange with the owner who is stuck out of country and he is willing to negotiate offers Zerinth. Apparently a past renter walked off with some furnishings also.
