I also want to share something, In my experience it does not matter which developer you deal with in the Philippines, they are all the same. (Very poor quality customer service after sales, which is very frustrating.)First of all they're sending agents, representatives abroad to promote the sale of their developments/projects. Their promoters most of them even don't have enough knowlegede. What I can share with people who wants to invest their money is; 1.) ask the details of the unit interior finishes you are interested in, before you make any payment deposit, sign any sale contract agreement etc., go through all the terms and conditions in the contract with your lawyer, do not be fool by the sellers who will try to give you pressures to make fast decision because the units are almost all sold out and that there are only few units left. Make sure that there is always black and white anything you discuss, 2) Before you make any decision in parking your money with property in the Philippines, check out your income taxation (e.g.rental income) first if it is favourable for your investments. In my research Philippines taxation system is unattractive at all besides taxation system system is very complicated. My advise is, do some research with other countries as well when you invest into properties, as there are other countries who offer more attractive tax incentives, offer professional services before and after sales, more details on the their projects and safe assurance returns of your investments. Good luck! Thanks for your comments. I also want to share something,

We agents work very hard, and it is very unfortunate that they have mistreated you. Get a very good lawyer (even though he/she charges high) and fight for your case. Will let you know if I come across one. Goodluck to you! your situation is very very bad indeed and I feel for your damages.

We have been selling for them for many years and now left out empty pocket and empty stomach. They terminate their agents as soon as na napakinabangan. Harapan etong panloloko sa mga maliliit na ahente gaya namin! We have also been a victim of this Century Properties.

I'm looking online to see if others have had similar experiences w/ Centurty Property Mgmt or Meridien Developer Groups. See below for more. Your site is a great venue for balikbayans, expats and future homeowners to search for info on real estate investments. I'm hoping it can be a forum to find out if my incident is isolated or if others share my sentiment... -------------- I'm inviting homeowners to share their experiences w/ the the Meridien Development and/or the Century Property Management Group on this thread. They develop and property manage sites in Fort Bonifacio, Makati, and Pasig, Philippines. We personally have painful stories to share regarding the incompetence & irresponsibility of these two groups. They've successfully defined POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE every step of the way. Reaching out to see if others have been wronged and how. I will post more specifics regarding numerous developer and property manager errors shortly. Please note, the experience we had with the Century Properties Sales Office was top notch and should not be confused with the "Property Management" (post sales) portion of the business.
