Thank you in advance po sa magbibigay ng advice. I stumbled on this page due to my desperation with my sister's problem with PRO-FRIENDS DEVELOPER. Last November 2018, my sister reserved a unit in one of Profriend's project in Cavite which is Lancaster New City in Alapan 2 Imus Cavite. My sister is an OFW working in London, so she is just communicating with her agent here in the Phils. The problem started when she decided to reserve a unit here in lancaster. Here goes her story.
> Around November 2018, my sister reserved a READY FOR OCCUPANCY unit, sent the money via wired remittance. Location map that is available via Profriend's inventory was sent, it was a corner lot so she was glad. She already reviewed the map and it says that it was a corner lot indeed.
> December 2018 my sister decided to flew back to Philippines to see the actual unit. But lancaster Management just showed the unit outside the car, told her shes NOT ALLOWED TO SEE THE HOUSE AND ENTER BECAUSE SHE'S NOT YET PAID THE FULL DOWNPAYMENT even she already paid a reservation fee of php10,000! (Crazy rules of a developer right? TSk tSk). The house that supposed to Brand New looks like a haunted house in actual. My sister saw that the carport area which is included in the package doesnt really look like a carport because of a very tiny space. More look like a BIKEPORT. She asked the officer who assisted them during the viewing why the carport was designed that way, not the way it was presented in the MAP. The officer said you may raise the complain with the management. My sister ask if she can park in front of the house because there is a Lapses on Developer's design of property. The officer said to make a request or complain.
> Because my sister wanted to see the house inside and check if it is in good condition, she decided to pay the FULL DOWNPAYMENT WHICH COSTS AROUND PHP350,000!!! just to book again a schedule to see the inside of unit. MAYBE THE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK ABOUT LANCASTER THE WAY THEY GET MONEY FROM POOR CUSTOMERS ARE TRUE BECAUSE OF THEIR CRAZY RULES.Before she went back to London last December she settled the payment of full DP. After paying the ful DP, she got approved for 1st inspection of the house. The interior of the house is much horrible than outside, Paints are worn off, faucets and all fixtures are broken. Overall aspect, the house is very OLD. The officers promised they will fix it..
> January - June 2018, my sister is paying the monthly amortization of the house which costs around PhP54,000. huge amount for a very Disgusting, Old, wornoff - (Supposed to be BRAND NEW HOUSE). up to now, her concern of CARPORT, HOUSE RENOVATION is still not DONE. PROFRIENDS STAFF ARE NOT COOPERATING, THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS USELESS, NO CALLS OR UPDATES TO PACIFY OR EVEN ADDRESS MY SISTER'S CONCERN OF CARPORT. Is there anybody here can help what we should do? We already went to their office, but they just sugar coated the issue,gave us false hopes. Next week will be July and my sister will again have to pay the amortization, but up to now she still dont know what she is paying for. PROFRIENDS IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT MY SISTER'S CONCERN, THEY JUST WANTED TO COLLECT THE MONEY FROM MY SISTER AND NOT GIVING HER A GOOD RESULT OR RESOLUTION. I HOPE THERE IS SOMEON IN THIS GROUP THAT CAN ENLIGHTEN ME. thanks in advance, sorry for the long vent out. God bless everyone
