INTRODUCTION

Welcome! We would like to highlight to all owners residing in The Amore, some salient features of strata living which tend to differentiate it from public housing and landed private properties. Owners living in an executive condominium can enjoy exclusivity and privacy by virtue of the fact that they are exclusive owners of the strata units and of an undivided share in the common property. The sense of exclusivity is reinforced by the provision of a range of amenities and recreational facilities within the executive condominium. The major facilities include a Clubhouse, barbecue pits, Gymnasium, Tennis Court, Swimming Pool and Children’s Pool. Booking of facilities can be made online via The Amore’s web portal. Where a non-refundable (for Tennis Court) & refundable deposit is required to be remitted prior to obtaining a confirmation for the booking, users will need to make the remittances with either the Management Office or the Security Guardhouse (non-office hours). The details are explained in the relevant pages within this Handbook. The exclusiveness and advantage of having a range of recreational facilities for the residents entail the proper management and maintenance of these common amenities as well as proper enforcement of rights and obligations among residents. Provision is therefore made for the enforcement of rights and obligations affecting the subdivided building as a whole and the management of the common property, and for resolving disputes, in the enactment of both the Building Maintenance & Strata Management Act and the Land Titles (Strata) Act. You may be pleased to know that The Amore had put in place many “green” strategies so as to optimise energy, water savings as well as sustainable waste management practices so as to continue and advocate the ‘green’ lifestyle. A building user guide had been specially prepared for your reading in the Handing Over Kit Thumb drive. Under the Building Maintenance and Strata Management Act, a Management Corporation is a legal entity constituted upon registration of the strata title plan submitted by the Developer of the Development. Every owner of a unit in a strata-titled development is a member of the Management Corporation of that estate. The Management Corporation is responsible among other things, for the control, management, and administration of the common property and for properly maintaining and keeping in a state of good and serviceable repair, the common property and every property vested in the Management Corporation. All owners are required to contribute to the Management Fund and Sinking Fund for the maintenance and upkeep of the common facilities and amenities. A share value constitutes the basis for maintenance contribution, voting rights and a share in the common property. A share value duly approved by the Commissioner of Buildings is assigned to each unit. A Management Council is elected at the First and each subsequent Annual General Meeting to assume management of the housing estate. In practice, a Managing Agent with clearly defined powers will usually be appointed by the Management Corporation to carry out various statutory duties accordingly.

DEFECTS LIABILITY PERIOD Subsidiary Proprietors (SPs) whose Sale and Purchase agreement of the unit is governed by the Housing Developer's Rules enjoy a 12-month Defects Liability Period. The Defects Liability Period starts from the date the SP receives the Notice of Vacant Possession.

a. The developer shall be given access at reasonable times to rectify any valid defect. Access shall be given during working hours from 9.00am to 5.00pm on Weekdays and from 9.00am to 1.00pm on Saturdays.

b. The developer shall not be liable for deterioration or consequential damage due to delays in rectification works caused by purchasers or their tenants.

c. Defect rectification works may be reasonably delayed if time is needed to

produce/manufacture an item, for example, the replacement of a new glass panel for which the contractor may require time to fabricate, import parts, etc.

d. To note that the Defects Liability Period does not cover repairs for damage caused

defect.

f. The developer shall not be liable for the loss of use or any inconvenience caused during the course of rectification works.

g. Upon the expiry of the Defects Liability Period, purchasers are expected to carry out

maintenance, repair and replacement works of their unit at their own cost and expense.

AFTER TAKING OVER YOUR UNIT As soon as you have taken possession of your new home, it is good to first ensure that all fixtures and fittings are complete. A blank copy of the Purchaser’s Comment Form has also been included in the handover kit. Kindly inspect your unit and fill in the inspection form and submit to the Management Office or to the Developer’s Representative.

a. Only the Subsidiary Proprietor (SP) or their authorised agents/representatives can submit their defect lists on the prescribed form and they shall submit their defect lists within seven (7) days after the unit has been handed over to them. For authorised agents, a letter of authorisation is required to be submitted together with the defects list.

PART V – MAINTAINING YOUR HOME & ESTATE

47 | P a g e


e. After an appointment has been fixed, the SPs can assist by clearing the space and/or

putting aside their belongings to facilitate the smooth completion of work and to mitigate damages to furnishings and belongings while repairs are being carried out.

f. At the appointed date and time, the SPs shall ensure that someone is in the premises to

grant access to the contractors to carry out rectification works.

g. Upon completion, the SPs or their authorized representatives, shall acknowledge that the repairs have been carried out; this will help all parties to be clear about the status of the work and prevent any complications that may arise.

h. Should there be any disagreements over building works, the Architect will be invited

to inspect the defects or rectification works that had been carried out. The Architect is a Qualified Person (QP) and acts as an independent party. The Architect is often the best person to give advice or comments on the acceptability of the contractor's work. The contractors are generally obliged to adhere to the Architect's comments with regard to rectification works during the Defects Liability Period.

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE OF FINISHES HOMOGENOUS TILES

a. Ceramic and homogeneous tiles are durable, easy to clean and have a greater resistance to chemical attack and abrasion. Nevertheless, for gloss-finished tiles, care should be taken not to use abrasive cleaning materials, as they can scratch the tile surface.

b. For maintenance, clean tiles with normal floor cleaners or detergent and rinse with water.

c. Avoid using strong alkaline detergents, as it will leave deposits on the tiles, especially

the tile joints.

TIMBER FLOOR AND TIMBER DOORS Wood is a living material and will adapt to the temperature and the relative humidity in the areas where it has been installed. For areas with air-conditioning turned on for 24 hours, the relative humidity will be lower and may cause natural contraction of the timber. For areas without air-conditioning, please open the windows to ventilate. Also, as the wood ages, it will change in colour.

a. Variations in temperature and humidity may cause timber floors to shrink and move slightly during the course of its life, sometimes causing gaps between the timber strips. This is a natural characteristic of the timber and one which is unavoidable. However, to mitigate such movements, it is advisable to avoid direct sunlight being directed at the timber floors by drawing curtains. This may also reduce discolouration of your timber floor.

b. Simply vacuum clean or dry mop the floor to remove surface dust and grit.

Occasionally, the floor should be cleaned using mild soap based cleaner or parquet/timber floor cleaner with a well-wrung cloth. When mopping the floor or cleaning up spills, do not wet the floor as it will damage the wood. Always keep the floor dry and any puddles of water on the surface should be removed immediately.

48 | P a g e


c. Besides natural shrinkage, timber floors are also subject to scratches and dents due to wear, hence, legs of furniture should be cushioned with felt pad to minimize damage to the finished timber surface and extra care taken to ensure objects are not dropped onto the timber floor. Timber floor can be rejuvenated by sanding and filling in the holes or shrinkage gaps that occur with time and finished with varnish. It is recommended that a specialist contractor be engaged for the rejuvenation work.

d. Avoid using “oil soap” type cleaners, ammonia, pine soap, chloride bleach or any

abrasive cleaners.

e. Avoid waxing the floor as it may make the floor slippery, dull the finishes and cause re-coating failures later.

f. Timber doors and frames should always be kept dry to prevent the timber from rotting. Regular cleaning with a dry cloth is advisable while abrasive cleaning materials, which may damage the timber surface, should be avoided.

BATHROOM

a. Bathroom fixtures can stain and tarnish if neglected. Soap scum and dirt are easily cleaned if not left for too long. When cleaning, avoid abrasive cleaners which can damage the smooth surfaces or coating. Avoid using wire/stiff bristled brushes which will damage the surface of the fixtures.

b. It is advisable to be gentle with the flush push button as excessive pressure may break or damage the flushing mechanism. Over time, the mechanism or parts in the water cistern will experience wear and tear. Overflowing or leaking water cisterns

are common symptoms which indicate that adjustments or replacements to the parts that have loosen or worn off, is required.

c. It is also advisable to be gentle when flipping the cover of the water closet to avoid

damaging the joints and breaking the cover.

d. Do not throw rubbish, rags, cooking oil or other refuse into the water closets as they may choke up the sewage pipes and may cause backflows that damage property and/or create inconvenience to you and/or your neighbours.

e. It is advisable to check periodically if there is any sign of water flowing out from the

overflow pipe of the water closet; water from the overflow pipe may signify faulty mechanism and an experience plumber should be called upon to check on the cause of the leakage.

f. If water does not drain well from the basin, unscrew the bottle trap or P-trap under the basin to remove the debris.

g. The mirror should be cleaned with a dry or well rinsed cloth. Water should not be

splashed on the mirror particularly the edges. Water will cause the timber backing of the mirror to rot. It will also damage the reflective coating at the back of the mirror resulting in black spots appearing in the mirror.

h. To prevent the growth of moulds on the applied sealant of the bathroom, it is advisable

to keep the sealant strip dry whenever possible, especially after shower.

i. Floor traps should never be covered as the obstruction will impede the flow of water into the floor traps. In the event water is unable to discharge fast enough, water will build up

49 | P a g e


and overflow. This may in turn cause damage to other parts of the house. To prevent choke, the classic drain floor trap cover should be regularly cleaned or replaced.

KITCHEN WORKTOP

a. The solid surface worktop at kitchen should be cleaned and wiped dry. The worktop can be maintained by using mild liquid detergent and a well-wrung cloth or sponge.

b. Avoid strong detergents or harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning materials like steel wool and other abrasive pads as they may cause permanent damage to the worktop.

c. After cleaning and/or using the worktop, it should be wiped and kept dry to prevent damage from stagnant water. Wipe spills immediately, particularly if wines, sauces, washing liquid, etc., are spilled. This is to prevent staining and damaging the worktop.

d. It is advised that pots or dishes directly from the oven or burner should not be placed directly on the worktop to prevent damaging the worktop.

KITCHEN CABINET Kitchen cabinets are subject to grease and moisture on a daily basis. Grease comes off easily if it has not been left for too long.

a. It is advisable that cabinet surfaces be cleaned with mild liquid detergent and water regularly after each cooking.

b. Avoid abrasive products and products containing chlorine, ammoniac, furniture wax or

acetone, strong liquid detergent and powders.

c. It is also advisable that the cabinet surfaces be wiped dry after cleaning. The cabinets must be kept dry as prolonged wetness can cause damage like rotting and discolouration. The laminate on both the external and internal surfaces of the cabinets may also react to water and delaminate, bubble or peel. Hence, utensils and crockery should also be wiped dried before being stored inside the cabinets.

d. It is also strongly advised that not too many glassware, tableware or other heavy items be stored in the top hung kitchen cabinets as the combined weight of these items may exceed the load that the cabinets or shelves can withstand.

KITCHEN SINK, WASH BASIN AND BOTTLE TRAPS Food waste, beverages, dirty utensils and cutlery should not be allowed to remain for too long as they can stain the surfaces. Spillage should be washed off immediately.

a. It is advisable that a sink strainer is installed to 'filter' food waste from getting into the bottle trap, as accumulated food waste may cause chokage to the drainage system.

b. Bottle traps are found underneath kitchen sinks and wash basins. Regular cleaning of bottle

traps is recommend; as they tend to collect waste like hair, soap scum, food, oil etc. Bottle traps can be easily clean by unscrewing the bottle trap and cleaning with a brush. To prevent leaking, it is necessary to replace the rubber gasket in the bottle trap once there are signs of brittleness or tear.

c. Do not throw rubbish, rags, cooking oil or other refuse into sinks and basins as they may choke up the sewage pipes and cause backflow that may damage property and/or create inconvenience to you and/or your neighbours. Greasy liquids such as cooking oil will solidify

50 | P a g e


over a period of time and cause blockage. It is advised to remove build-up deposits from soap scum and oil accumulated inside the sink and bottle traps periodically with warm water to prevent chokage.

PAINTING The walls and ceiling are painted with a primer, an undercoat and a finishing coat. Hairline cracks may appear on wall surfaces due to plaster shrinkage. This is a natural process caused by temperature variations and humidity and can be patched up by using putty and painting over. There is also paint available in the market which can cover hairline cracks. Walls are often stained or dirtied over time. To apply a new coat of paint to the walls and ceiling or to re-paint to a different colour scheme, surface preparation such as re-priming is recommended prior to the application of the new coat of paint.

METAL SURFACES Metal surfaces like door handles, etc., are coated with a protective coating. Cleaning with abrasive cleaners, metal polishes or aerosol spray polishes may damage the coating. If the protective coating is damaged, tarnishing and discolouration will start to occur. It is recommended that these surfaces be regularly cleaned by simply wiping with a dry cloth.

WINDOW FRAME AND GLAZING Regular cleaning of the glass is important to ensure easy cleaning. When dirt is left to build up for too long, it becomes stubborn stains and hard to remove. Cleaning can cause scratches on the glass panels.

a. Window frames and glass can be cleaned with mild detergent and a well-wrung soft cloth.

b. Do not use sandpaper or harsh cleaners as it may cause damage to the surface.

c. Fixed panels and the external surfaces can be reached easily by using proper cleaning tools like wipers that come with extended handles or magnetic windows cleaners that can be purchased from well-stocked hardware shops.

d. Windows are exposed elements and are subject to repeated stress when they are opened and closed daily. The SPs are responsible to check and maintain the windows regularly. This includes tightening the screws; adding lubricants to protect the hinges and joints against corrosion to maintain the ease of opening and closing and replacing worn-out parts. However, lubricant must not be applied onto any pivoted part or screw at the friction hinge as it will reduce the friction to withstand the self-load and normal wind load. If in doubt, contact a qualified window specialist immediately to conduct the necessary checks and rectification.

AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM Please ensure that your air-conditioners are regularly serviced by qualified servicemen so that they do not drip or cause any excessive noise to the annoyance of your neighbours. Regular servicing should include the cleaning of the filters of the fan coil units for effective performance. Each fan-coil unit has a drain-pipe. These pipes should also be free from obstruction to avoid blockage. It is recommended that the drain-pipe be pressure blown at least once every six months to dislodge any obstruction or built-up of dirt. The refrigerant gas pressure should also be checked every 6 months and topped-up when necessary.

To avoid unnecessary surface condensation, do not open doors/windows immediately after shutting down. If temperature has been set very low, increase temperature setting gradually before shutting down and allow room to gradually warm up.

51 | P a g e


PEST CONTROL

The SPs are advised to clean their household regularly and to check periodically for dark and moist corners which are good breeding grounds for insects. Just like the common household pests such as cockroaches, lizards and flies, termites can fly in or enter your home through the openings at the yard, balcony or windows. Although generally these common household pests do not damage your belongings, insects such as termites and wood bugs feed on timber. Do check your timber furniture, carton boxes, old newspaper and/or artefacts that you bring into your home.

The SPs are also advised to visit the official website of the National Environmental Agency on information on "How to Prevent Aedes Mosquito Breeding" for the prevention against dengue fever.
