How to Sub devision proper type for sale around Dumaguete.

Hi guys,
We are looking to buy a 3 bedroom house in a sub devision around Dumaguete but in the province.I would prefer it higher up for cleaner air and cooler.Are my expectations to high ,to find this sort of property in Negros?
Thanks in anticipation.

 

The town of Valencia--about 15 minutes away from downtown Dumaguete City could be an option. I think the town is 800 feet above sea level.

 

Sub-division........dont be fooled by all the lovely brochures, it will be filipino standard (poorly constructed), will also be a lot smaller that you imagine, cannot pick your neighbours, will be drug-dens/havens in a few years time......especially if you are buying from the plans, its possible the area will never be completed, the roads left unfinished, no streetlights, no security guards, no boundary fences/walls..........thats all on the outside, give it a little time, then your doors an windows going to start to warp, and open by themselves, then the electric going to give you grief........and good good good luck trying to contact the builders to fix anything, they will be long gone

 

I would add to that very good list, the fact that if you buy and neighbours (or whole neighbourhood) turn out to be from Hell, you will find it very difficult to sell the house and may have to live there in torment.

 

Last post hit nail on head as property very easy to acquire but much much harder to sell!

 

Thanks Kelly, I will certainly look into that area.p

 

Curious since your informed on RA 9653 if you know what the current max to be applicable is right now? When it was passed it only covered places 10k and under in urbanized areas but one would assume over the last 5 years there would have been increases to that. Curious what the current rate is.
