He gets offended by everything take no notice. I think it is a genuine question from somebody who wants to learn.

 

Perhaps but could of been worded a little more subtle.

So when can Jake and I and all the others go there, drink a lot of beer and bless your home?

Any time, just let me know ahead of time, so I can get a truck to deliver enough beer, hopefully I have set aside enough peso for this.

Beautiful home, Chief! Nice and clean and modern.

And maybe trucks? for the beer. I think I would like to stay there a while!

Who paid the capital gains tax? How long did it (or will it) take to get the title in your wife's name? How / where did you make payment?

We bought it from Advanced Property Development and Management Holdings Inc.  The remaining balance we financed through them for 5 years.  So the wife will get the title after that 5 years.  Advanced Property bought up several lots in McArthur Village and are building homes just like ours.  We have added air con, water tank, stove with an oven, washing machine, shelfing throughout the house, couch with recliner, 2 love seat with recliner (one in my man cave), table with chairs, 2 50 inch TVs (one in my man cave), king size bed with frame, two door refrigerator and a few other items.

What a nice place. The balcony would be a great place to have morning coffee and watch the world wake.

Thanks, Chief, that's interesting. I had assumed you paid cash because that seems to be more typical here, and so I was wondering about that kind of that transaction, specifically how funds are safely transferred, and what the buyer gets at that time.

Is it any of your business ?  

I'm sure it was asked more out of a thirst for knowledge than just sticking his nose into others business.  For many a property purchase in the Philippines is a new experience and many want to know the process more than the name of the person involved.  There is a standard where the buyer pays certain costs and the seller others but all are open to interpretation.  Myself when I bought my condo offered a very low price and offered to pay all legals and administration except the seller's attorney fees.

Yes, doubtless.  Some of us have manners that's all. There are ways. 

So....let's forget it, eh.

When do you move in? I would be very interested to see the interior after you get settled.

We moved in on 1 October 2020.  Still some work on our part.  Making some improvements to fit our tastes.  I'm not a picture person, some may be fuzzy, took them with my lap top.

Man cave, watching Monday night football.

Man cave, filing cabinet and DVDs.

 Man cave, blinds.

Spare bed room.

Master bedroom.

Master bedroom, Chester draws and closet.

 Master CR.

 

Balcony.

Coming down stairs, living room/dining room.

Built in storage under stair case.

Down stairs CR.  Put washer in shower.  Washer was too big (3cm), so I had to knock some of the door frame out, but had it rebuilt, brother in law friend did the rework and it looks like new.

Covered garage.

Front gate.  Plan on attaching something to go from below the lock handle to ground to keep dogs out.

Looking from front of the house, right side.  Lot is very small.

Front part of the lot.  Olivia has her plants out there.

My TV dish, AFN.

Back side of lot.  Pressure tank and motor in cage and covered.

Back side of lot.  Water tank, 500, bigger than we need.  Cousin still has some work on the frame.

Water tower.  Still some work and then paint it.

Left side of lot.

Stair case.

Not a good pic, if you look between the set of trees in the back ground you can see Vista Mall. 

To the right you can see where they are building two house, like ours.
