PURCHASERS OF YUET WU VILLA SATISFIED
THE PURCHASERS OF YUET WU VILLA ARE NOW GENERALLY SATISFIED SINCE TAKING OVER THEIR FLATS FROM JUNE 20 THIS YEAR ONWARDS, THE SECRETARY FOR PLANNING, ENVIRONMENT AND LANDS, MR TONY EASON, TOLD THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TODAY (WEDNESDAY).
THE
REPLYING TO A QUESTION BY THE HON ZACHARY WONG, MR EASON SAID DEFECTS AT YUET WU VILLA WERE MINOR ONES COMMONLY FOUND IN · NEWLY COMPLETED BUILDING PROJECTS AND THEY HAD ALL BEEN MADE GOOD BY THE DEVELOPER.

HE SAID: 'NORMALLY THE COMPLETION OF A BUILDING PROJECT IS FOLLOWED BY AN INSPECTION PERIOD DURING WHICH ANY DEFECTS ARE FOUND AND MADE GOOD BEFORE OCCUPATION.
"IN
MOST PRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATION SCHEME (PSPS) PROJECTS THE PERIOD IS THREE TO FOUR MONTHS; BUT WITH YUET WU VILLA IT WAS ABOUT SIX MONTHS BECAUSE, WITH NEARLY 4,000 FLATS, IT IS ONE OF THE LARGEST PSPS PROJECTS TO DATE.
"SOME PURCHASERS OF YUET WỤ VILLA PREMISES EXPRESSED CONCERN OVER THE TIME TAKEN TO REACH COMPLETION AND WERE WORRIED THAT THIS MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE QUALITY OF BUILDING WORKS.
"HOUSING DEPARTMENT STAFF AND THE DEVELOPER HAVE MET THE PURCHASERS AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO THEM.**
ON THE MONITORING OF THE PSPS ESTATE CONSTRUCTION, MR EASON SAID, THE DIRECTOR OF HOUSING APPOINTED A PRIVATE SECTOR SURVEYOR
ΤΟ MONITOR AND OVERSEE PSPS PROJECTS AND REPORT ON PROGRESS AND THE DEVELOPER'S PERFORMANCE.
THAT
THE SURVEYOR ALSO CHECKS, ON BEHALF OF THE DIRECTOR, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PROPOSALS IN TENDER SUBMISSIONS COMPLY WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE.
ON THE BASIS OF SURVEYOR'S ADVICE, THE DIRECTOR OF HOUSING WILL ADVISE THE DIRECTOR OF LANDS WHETHER THE FLATS ARE COMPLETE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS OF SALE.
