This is a follow-up for my recent post about foreclosed townhouses for sale located at Ponte Verde, BF Resort Village, Las Pinas City. I recently visited the units myself to get more details and I also took a walk-through video, along with more pictures.

Comparable properties
I was looking for other comparable properties within Ponte Verde to get reference pricing and I only found the following. If anyone out there knows of any that are for resale or for sale by owner, please let us know by leaving a comment below.
- http://www.bfhomes.net/ponte.htm (This has links to pricing and floor plans)
- http://www.ahyer.com/las-pinas-city-townhouses-for-sale-15934-2 (I believe this has reference pricing from the developer)

Rental rates
As mentioned in a recent comment, I could not find a unit for rent within Ponte Verde (I tried looking both online and offline).
However, I do know a number of townhouses nearby that are also within BF Resort Village Las Pinas with a rental rate of Php10,000 per month. This is for a small townhouse that approximate has a floor area of 75sqm and with 1 parking slot. If I will use the floor area alone, that would translate to about Php142.86/sqm per month.
Using the same rental rate for a 110sqm townhouse, that would translate to Php15,714.28 per month.

Property inspection/viewing

*Update as of December 27, 2012 – The seller has approved offers for all four units and they have already received initial payment, thus all four units are considered sold. Please be guided accordingly and thank you to all who inquired.
Hi Jay, are these still available. Kelan po pwedeng magpa schedule po viewing. Kindly send sample computation. Thank you.
Hi Ms Joycelyn, unfortunately all the units are already sold. I have update the post above accordingly. Can I offer you other properties, also in BF Resort Las Pinas City?
Kindly do. Thank you.
seems to be a lot out there that are interested but are unsuccessful. is there a catch here? what does it take to buy any of these units? what is the indicative price? would like to visit, it that possible? thanks
Hi Alley, offers have been submitted, but none have been accepted, because the offered price is too far away from the listed price here. So far, the challenge has been viewing can only be done during weekdays, during office hours. Another thing, as posted above, these units are for sale on a cash basis only, although bank financing can be as good as cash as explained above.
A lot of people who want to view the units have not been able to. Please stay tuned for further developments as I am are working on borrowing the keys… so that viewing can be done on weekends as well. In the meantime viewing can be done on weekdays at 10:30am to 3pm, but we need to schedule this at least 2 days in advance with the seller.
Hi! I’m interested in the property. Is this still available? Also, you mentioned the offered price is too far away from the listed price… can you give an idea about more or less the acceptable price…
Many thanks!!! God bless!
Hi Reinan, sorry for the late reply as these properties are already sold. Anyway, for your reference, a discount of 5% to 10% is considered acceptable in this case. Thanks for the inquiry.
Interested but want to see property first.
Hi Jay,
Can you also send me computations if terms are via loans/financing? When will be the next viewing schedule of these units?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, are these still available? If available, kindly send computation. Thank you.
Hi Ms. Jocelyn, no offers have been accepted as of now so these are still available. I’ll send the computations asap through email. Thanks for the inquiry!
Hello Sir Jay.
Please send me a sample computation if thru bank financing. Thanks.
Hi sir Franz, I have sent it through e-mail. Please check, thanks!
Hi jay,
Just like to confirm on how they evaluate the offers. I bet there are a lot of offers now and I just want to know if they evaluate on a first come basis similar with buena mano. If you have estimates on the transfer fees could you send me details. Thank you so much.
Hi Jeff, they have a committee who evaluates the offers and the main criteria is price, although they don’t have a formal first-come-first-serve policy in place like that of Buena Mano. Transfer fees would be approximately 2.5% to 4.5% of the selling price. I’ll send you a sample computation through email.
Hello Sir Jay.
Please send me a sample computation if thru bank financing. Thanks.
Hi Ms. Louise, I already sent the sample computation through e-mail. Please check, thanks!

Hi Ma’am Gina, I have talked to an agent who specializes in rentals and he said rental rates within Ponte Verde and BF Resort Village Las Pinas for big townhouse units like these would range from 15K to 20K per month.
Thank you. Can you send me the calculations (dp/amortization) including the other charges I need to pay relevant to the purchase. I know there are incidental charges on top.
Hi Ms. Gina, I already sent the sample computations as requested through email. Thank you!
Hi Jay,
I am interested in one of the houses, can you please send me a sample computation thru bank financing to my email. Is it accessible to schools, supermarket, sorry I don’t know las pinas that much. I’ve been staying here in Doha for quite sometime now. Thanks and regards.
Hi Ma’am Shiela, I already sent a sample computation through e-mail. Please check, thanks! Yes ma’am, BF Resort Village las Pinas is very close to schools like Elizabeth Seton School, Perpetual Help Las Pinas, etc. Supermarkets nearby are Puregold, SM Center, SM Hypermart, and a lot of convenience stores (7-11 and ministop).
Sir,
Would just like to ask if the water in that area is strong and was not affected by flood brought by Ondoy or habagat.
Thanks & more power!
Hi Ma’am Marie Ann,
Yes, it is confirmed that Ponte Verde was not affected by the recent floods caused by the habagat or monsoon rains. Same goes for Ondoy, it was not affected at all.
Thank you also!
hi jay,
thanks for this post. me and my wife liked what we saw on the video. and we are very much interested to tender purchase offer on one of the units available.
we wish we could avail of bank financing, however, the problem is we are residing here in Saudi. is there a way you could help us on this aspect?
thanks.
Hi sir Rhodel,
You’re welcome! Yes of course, I can assist you with bank financing with one of the banks I am accredited with (no additional cost for you). Let me first check what are the requirements to get a loan for OFW’s and I’ll get back to you directly through email.
As mentioned above, The terms are cash so aside from the loan proceeds, you will have a cash-out equivalent to balance (selling price less loan proceeds) which should be good as cash.
Let’s continue communicating directly through e-mail. Thanks!
thanks jay….looking forward to receive your emails…
I already sent the email sir Rhodel, please check. Thanks!
Thanks for posting. Are all 4 units mentioned above still available? I’m working overseas. How does it work? Could I ask someone to see the units and pay the reservation? After I pay for the reservation, would you gave me enough time for me to travel home and see the townhouse myself before I pay in full (cash) and ofcourse to sign all necessary documents? If yes, how many days would you allow to keep my reservation?
Also, I’m just wondering if you could gave me an idea on how much all additional costs (estimate) I should pay until title is transferred to my name? Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Calbert
Hi sir Calbert,
yes, all four units are still available as of August 30, 2012. I already asked on your behalf and was informed that the best way to hold a unit would be to make a downpayment or earnest money, which unfortunately is non-refundable in case you back-out.
As to the transfer costs that the buyer will shoulder, let me prepare this and get back to you (I will also post the transfer cost sample computation for everyone’s reference).
We can continue communicating directly through email. Thanks!
Am interested in the Ponte Verde townhouses,pls. send me computations thru bank financing.Thanks
Hi Ma’am Lutgarda, thanks for the inquiry. I’ll be sending the sample computations to you directly through e-mail. Thanks again.
