Robinsons Land Corporation consolidates completed units from its portfolio of brands ranging from the affordable Robinsons Communities to the mid-range Robinsons Residences and the upscale Robinsons Luxuria into a sort of one-stop shop for homebuyers. Called Robinsons Right Homes, they offer units that buyers can move into right now such as The Trion Towers (above) and Sonata (right).
MANILA, Philippines - It’s a great way to shop for a new home — there’s no waiting time, the house is finished, you don’t have to rely on renderings, floor plans or model units, and you can move in as fast as you sign the document and your check clears.
Robinsons Land Corporation (RLC) recently launched its latest brand called Robinsons Right Homes, which consolidates units from RLC’s portfolio of brands, ranging from the affordable Robinsons Communities to the mid-range Robinsons Residences and the upscale Robinsons Luxuria.
What’s good about having a finished house as opposed to one that you buy in the pre-selling stage is that you can make a decision based on the finished product, knowing full well what you are getting in terms of the unit itself, the amenities, and the community. Robinsons seized the opportunity to serve the market that is ready to move into a new home and not have to wait till the project is completed.
“Right Homes gives people the chance to see the completed homes in a master-planned setting,” says Mybelle V. Aragon- GoBio, senior vice president for Robinsons Luxuria, Robinsons Residences and Robinsons Communities. “This helps them to ascertain the quality of the development and to run through what will be the inhabitant’s experience in a tangible manner. There are people who can’t afford to pay for amortization and rent at the same time but it’s important for them to invest in a place or buy a home.”
Robinsons Right Homes sales head Roel Maglaya adds, “The notion of an RFO (ready for occupancy) is that you pay in full. What potential buyers don’t know is that we offer friendly payment terms.”
Buyers can choose from the various RLC brands Robinsons that are located all over Metro Manila such as Cubao, Bonifacio Global City, Mandaluyong, Parañaque, and Cebu and Tagaytay. They are close to major thoroughfares in the city, schools, offices, hospitals and churches.
The various brands of RLC means you can choose from a slew of products that fit your budget.
Says Maglaya, “People, who don’t have sufficient savings or credit to buy a home, can avail of a two-year lease-to-own package. The tenant can occupy the rented unit after signing a lease/purchase agreement and payment of lease deposits with an option for purchase. At the end of the 24-month lease, the tenant can buy the unit for a specific amount. Total rental payment has been credited to the sales price or final cost subject to certain conditions. This gives the lessee time to save up while evaluating the property and the neighbors.
“As an investment, the buyer can put up the unit for rent and get a quick return. Likewise, with the rising demand for condo units, the gross rental yield per year is four to five percent of the invested capital. Because of the unit’s appraisal, the invested capital will go up in price. The yield from rental is higher and faster than keeping the money in the bank.”
Right Homes also provides assistance to those who want to lease out or resell their units and free interior design consultancy services and furniture orders at cost.
Kaye Mallari-Sanchez, Right Homes unit head, cites an example, “In the past, the reservation fee was P35,000. We’ve lowered the reservation fee payment to P20,000. At Escalades 20th in Cubao, you can own a unit for as low as P8,000 monthly payment. In this mid-rise condo, you don’t feel as if you’re in a vertical development. It’s more like being in a townhouse.”
