Chapter 391: Buying a House
Chapter 391: Buying a House
The taxi drove towards the outskirts.
Thirty minutes later, it stopped by a lakeside.
Qiao Sang paid the fare and headed towards a massive crescent-shaped building to the right.
Qinglu Manor, despite its vintage-sounding name as a residential complex, was actually a futuristic villa area. The crescent-shaped sales office immediately conveyed the complex’s style and positioning.
This housing project had been on the market for half a year but still hadn’t sold out.
It wasn't due to quality issues, but rather because a similarly priced villa area in the city center had also been launched at the same time.
Location is the primary consideration when buying a house.
Although the villas in Qinglu Manor were significantly larger, one was in the suburbs, while the other was in the city center. Those who cared about value retention and easy resale opted for the city center villas.
There were only so many people in Hanggang City who could afford to buy villas, which led to several units in Qinglu Manor remaining unsold.
Sales Office.
Qiao Sang entered and registered her information. Soon, a staff member with a chestnut-colored hairstyle and a handsome appearance approached her.
"Miss, do you have an appointment with a specific property consultant?"
Qiao Sang shook her head. "No."
The staff member glanced towards the entrance and asked, "Are you here alone?"
"Um-hmm." Qiao Sang nodded.
"Then I'll be your guide. Please follow me", the staff member said warmly.
He didn't pay attention to the young girl's age or the fact that she was unaccompanied by an adult.
Ordinary middle-class families wouldn't come to look at houses here.
The girl wasn't wearing any designer clothing, but that didn't matter.
Clothes can be deceiving, but a Bonded Beast Companion cannot.
The Treasure Hunter Demon, evolved from a Treasure Seeker, indicated that a child who could bond with a familiar worth hundreds of thousands definitely came from a wealthy family.
As for the other red-and-white familiar, though he didn't know what it was, its appearance, demeanor, and luxurious fur all radiated one word: expensive.
Moreover, it had been several years since the initial promotional launch of the project.
Those who came to look now were already familiar with the residential complex and had a genuine interest.
While thinking this, the staff member led Qiao Sang to the digital model.
"Quoli."
As soon as Qiao Sang stood still, a Quagly with a black bow tie appeared, carrying a tray with three cups of water.
"Thank you", Qiao Sang said, then called out, "Fangy."
"Ya."
Fangy immediately understood her Beastmaster's meaning. Its eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, glowed with blue light, and the three cups of water on the tray floated up, stopping in front of Qiao Sang, Treasure Seeker, and itself.
Qiao Sang, Treasure Seeker, and Fangy each took a cup of water.
Psychic Pet... The staff member's eyes lit up as he operated the digital model and began his enthusiastic introduction.
"We offer a 360-degree lake view, with every villa featuring a large lakeside terrace. There are 62 custom-designed standalone villas, ranging from 350 to 1,000 square meters in size, each with a unique layout."
As he spoke, a three-dimensional image appeared above the digital model, fully recreating the overall appearance of Qinglu Manor.
"Ya Ya!" Fangy's eyes widened.
Treasure Seeker floated over, showing clear interest as it examined the model closely.
The staff member, undisturbed, pressed a button on the digital model, and a three-dimensional image of a building appeared above it.
He continued, "We currently have units 16, 17, 28, and 53 available."
"Unit 16 has a sales area of 566 square meters and an actual usable area of 778 square meters. It is designed with one basement level and two above-ground floors, with a garden area of 1,109.8 square meters. It comes with high-end finishes, a private swimming pool, a basement, and a garage. The main features are its elevated position, excellent privacy, and additional gifted space."
As he spoke, he pressed a couple of buttons on the digital model, and another villa with a completely different style appeared in three-dimensional form.
"Unit 17 has a sales area of 874 square meters and an actual usable area of 1,000 square meters, with a garden area of 1,923 square meters. It comes with high-end finishes worth around ten million, a landscaped garden, two private swimming pools, and a garage."
"There are still 28 units available..."
Qiao Sang interrupted, "How far apart are units 16 and 17?"
The staff member was taken aback but quickly replied, "Rest assured, we are building a high-end cluster of detached villas. Each villa covers about 4,000 square meters, ensuring that you won't be disturbed by others. Privacy is guaranteed."
Indeed, no amount of training would disturb the neighbors... Qiao Sang asked, "Can I take a look inside?"
The staff member responded, "Certainly, but before we do, we need to verify your financial status. You can have a relative send over an asset proof. The amount required for verification varies depending on the price of the villa. Which unit are you interested in?"
The asset verification is essentially a process for the developer to assess the buyer's financial standing. According to Qinglu Manor's rules, verification is required before a dedicated sales consultant provides an introduction. However, since the project has been delivered for over half a year and customers are rare, they are willing to provide a thorough introduction first to secure the deal.
"Units 16 and 17", Qiao Sang said, pulling out a Black Gold Card. "Can this be used for the asset proof?"
The black and gold card seemed to be from the Federal Titan Bank... The staff member barely managed to control his facial expression. He took the card with both hands and maintained a smile, "Please wait a moment."
With that, the staff member left in a hurry, card in hand.
A few minutes later, he returned, looking dazed.
Seeing Qiao Sang, he took a deep breath and respectfully handed back the Black Gold Card, asking, "Shall I show you around now? Which unit would you like to see first?"
...
Qiao Sang followed the staff to view units 16 and 17, and she was very satisfied.
Unit 16's top floor was covered in stainless steel and coated glass, giving it a floating appearance above the lower levels.
Unit 17 had a futuristic, folded facade that, while cold, was softened by the surrounding greenery. The large transparent floor-to-ceiling windows allowed ample light to flood in, creating a beautiful overall look.
The interiors of both villas were already fully furnished, requiring only some soft furnishings to make them ready to move into.
Seeing that Qiao Sang remained silent after coming out of unit 17, the staff member tensed up and quickly said, "Would you like me to show you units 28 and 53? These two..."
Qiao Sang shook her head, "No need. I'll take these two."
The staff member was stunned, "Two units?"
Qiao Sang nodded, "I'll take both units 16 and 17."
Both units looked great, and since money wasn't an issue with her Unlimited Credit Card, she naturally wanted both. She could always switch between them whenever she got tired of one.
Damn! Two units? How much commission will that be? Maybe I can finally buy an Evolution Stone... The staff member was momentarily dazed, then his expression turned excited. He couldn't wait to teleport back to the sales office, "Shall we go sign the contract now?"
Qiao Sang had no objections.
The contract signing went smoothly.
Qiao Sang glanced over the details: Unit 16 was priced at 33.89 million, with a unit price of around 59,000, while Unit 17 was 55.06 million, with a unit price of 63,000.
Minors signing a home purchase contract and applying for a mortgage require a legal guardian, but since Qiao Sang was paying in full, there was no need to involve her mother.
Half an hour later, the staff member's smile was almost ear-to-ear, "These are completed units, so you can move in at any time. Once the property deeds are processed, I'll call you and deliver them personally."
"Alright", Qiao Sang nodded.
"Quoli."
After Qiao Sang left the sales office, Quagly, who had been holding a cup of water, approached the staff member and handed it to him.
The staff member bent down and picked up Quagly, his excitement evident, "Fruit, I can now buy you a high-quality Evolution Stone!"
"Quoli!"
Quagly steadied the cup of water, which was almost tipping over. Once the cup was stable, he recalled his Beastmaster's words and couldn't help but mirror the same excited expression.
