FAQ

1. Can I pay my monthly amortizations through the bank?
   
   

   Payment through the bank is possible only if notification to do so is received from the company. All payments in arrears, despite assignment to the bank, must be paid to the Customer Service Department.
   

2. What are the steps needed to obtain my title?
   
   
   Buyers who have fully settled their accounts are expected to pay their Transfer Cost Fee to transfer the title to their names. Our Collections Management Department will automatically include the Transfer Cost billing three months prior to full settlement of the buyer’s account. On the other hand, if the buyer decides to fully settle prior to maturity date, the Transfer Cost billing may be requested from Customer Service Department. After settling the Transfer Cost Fee, buyers can expect to receive their titles within 60 to 90 working days. Buyers are also given the option to process the transfer of their title. As soon as a formal request is made, the Customer Assistance Department will provide the buyer with all documents required for them to be able to process their title transfer.

19. What are the procedures pertaining to utilities prior to moving in?
    
    

    Whether you’re a house and lot or lot owner, your utilities are already set when you move in.
    

    • For power: Primary and secondary lines are provided. The direct source of electricity that goes into a house unit is the *secondary line* that contains the 240-volt requirement of most electrical appliances that we use. The power flowing within the secondary line is sourced from the primary line (electrical lines placed higher than the secondary) that contains 36,000 volts and converted to 240 volts using a transformer (where the secondary line is connected).
    • Meralco does not act on an application for permanent energization unless there are substantial (solely determined by Meralco) number of units in one area. What we do right now is we (Earth + Style Corporation) provide temporary electrical facilities (TEF) while waiting for Meralco to act on our application. This TEF will also be able to deliver 240-volts of electricity to a house unit and is also sourced from an existing secondary line of Meralco but located at a distance from a unit. So, the provision for a permanent power line is not automatic in most cases (unless there is an existing one located in-front of the unit).
      
      Go to the nearest Cavite branch of Meralco to apply for your own meter for proper billing and monitoring of electricity usage
    • For telephone service: At the moment, only Parkplace Village has available lines through Digitel. Contact Maricor at (046) 875-9852. The other villages will soon have provisions for telephone service.
    • For water utility and facility: This is already provided by Earth+Style. House and lot owners need not get their own meter, as it is already included in the package. However, lot owners need to purchase their own meter when they build their homes.
       
      
      
20. What form is required for buyers to who want to make a reservation, with the intention to purchase a product(s) from Earth+Style Corporation?
