\nWith the Multi-Ministry Taskforce (MTF) announcing the reversion to Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) measures,\u00a0which kicks off effectively from 22 July to 18 August, the\u00a0Council for Estate Agents (CEA) has mandated estate agents and real estate salespersons to ensure that no more than two distinct persons per day may visit a property that is inhabited by a household.
\n\u201cThe two distinct persons include you and any other person who is visiting the property,\u201d it explained in a circular.
\n\u201cYou will need to check that your client and the property occupant(s), if the client does not live at the property being visited, are aware of the updated rules, and the number of visitors that may visit the property per day,\u201d added CEA.
\nEstate agents and real estate salespersons are also mandated to cease all door-to-door marketing activities, which include flyer distribution to business premises and households.
\nMeanwhile, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) also advised\u00a0Management Corporations (MCSTs)\u00a0to follow the tightened safe management measures (SMMs).
\nSpecifically, the permissible group size is reduced from five to two persons. The allowable number of distinct visitors allowed per household a day was also reduced from five to two persons.
\nWith the tightened measures, some developers have decided to delay their project launches. One such developer is UOL. The developer has decided to temporarily close its showflat for The Watergardens at Canberra effectively from 21 July, after the Government announced the reversion to Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) measures.
\nTo safeguard the safety of its buyers and partners, the company has also deferred the reopening of the showflat as well as the sales booking date of 31 July, pending further announcement from the Government.
\nThe Watergardens at Canberra opened for preview on Saturday (17 July), with prices starting from under $1,400 per sq ft (psf).
\nSituated near Canberra MRT station as well as the future North Coast Innovation Corridor, the 448-unit project offers a mix of two- to four-bedroom units spread across 16 five-storey buildings.
\nUnit sizes range between 646 sq ft and 1,528 sq ft, while prices start from under $920,000 for a two-bedroom apartment, under $1.3 million for a three-bedder and under $1.8 million for a four-bedder.
\n\u201cThe visitorship to The Watergardens at Canberra showflat has been healthy since our launch preview over the weekend. However, we believe that closing the showflat given the latest Government announcement is the right thing to do as safety is our utmost priority,\u201d said Jesline Goh, Chief Investment & Asset Officer at UOL.
