Balwin Properties, Westlake Eco Estate - Trash sold as luxury
Buying a Balwin Property at this Estate has probably been the worst financial decision of my life. It is sold as an Eco Estate which is probably code for 'cheap material' used. I own a 3 bedroom apartment on the 1st floor.
First and biggest issue, the ceiling on this unit is so thin you can hear your upstairs neighbor drop a pin, now imagine hearing them walking, moving furniture and even flushing their toilet. Imagine not being able to sleep because your neigbor is walking around his/her own unit, absolute trash, and my unit is on the floor one of 4, so they can't do anything now, just trash build quality.
2nd issue, cracks, cracks and more cracks. These units were built super quickly and I think the foundation was not allowed to settle so at it does, cracks appear all over. You can even log them, they will come and plaster over them but 2-3 months later they all re-appear.g
3rd issue, in my specific unit, there is a balcony above my main bedroom and as it rains water seeps through into my apartment. I've logged it 5+ times and they have not been able to fix it permanently, after one or 2 heavy rains, whatever measure they put in place fails and it leaks again.
It gets tiring to be having such issues and constantly logging them, especially given how these units are described as 'luxury' and sold at such high prices. I'm gonna have to sell for my own peace of mind and may lose money because who would knowingly pay 1.4M for such? Never again will I buy from these clowns. Do yourself a favor and don't too!
