Camella Homes
reviews and complaints

They said the only way to speed up the construction is if the house is paid. Now, its been over 3 months since they are fully paid by the bank, only additional 10% was improved. Been emailing and submitting tickets to support but their answers are vague and wont give me a specific date of the target completion. Im raising the issue to HLURB so I get a decent conversation with them. Any other suggestions I could do please?

I am writing to relay my disappointment regarding the Cara house block 17 lot 16, Camella Capiz, Brgy. Sibaguan, Roxas City that we have been paying for more than 2 years now. We were told that by December 2018 the house will already be turned over to us, but until now there is no progress. Attached is a picture of our house as of June 2019. We already paid the downpayment in full last may 2018 the. Started the bank amortization for a year we even paid for MRI and fire insurance even if the house was not turned over to us.

Kindly do something about this since we did trust you with our home. We always pay on time and we are OFWs who wishes have our own house when we come home to the Philippines.

I've been following up for the Title of a fully paid house for more than a year. Camella (Erma Sabrina Baling ) advised they will provide it in 6 months but until now they still cannot give the house and lot title. I have been constantly following up but they stopped responding to my emails.

Call for lawyers who can help out. It will be much appreciated.

To Whom It May Concern,

We purchased a house at Camella Cupang Balanga, in the beginning they (Camella Balanga Office) said that the hoa dues will be less if there will be a lot of people living in our subdivision, but this March there is a letter that we have received that hoa dues will be increased effective April 2019 because there is an increase of expenses specifically security expenses. We've raised our concerns about this since there is not much change in security of our subdivision and we are trying to ask them where is the increase of expense at and they cant provide us anything. Also when we asked the Camella Balanga manager about a number we can contact regarding this increase in hoa fees she cannot provide us any specific person/number we can contact regarding this problem . Also regarding the water bill, we have asked them so many times why our water bill and hoa are in the same bill, we asked them to separate the bill but they said " tie up water bill and HOA dues are reasonable as per Atty din po na homeowner, since hindi po lahat nakakabayad ng dues". Is there anyone we can contact or talk to regarding this matter? Higher department. There are alot of homeowners have so many questions and complaints but they always say that it will just be forwarded to Camella Balanga to fix this, but the main problem is the people in Camella Balanga Office. I hope someone can help me with this matter.

Dear Management,

I purchased a Mika Model model house and lot in Camella Naga City Phase 3 Brgy Del Rosario. Paid 40% of the total cost since November 2061, but land development and our house was still not finish. Its over delayed and still no progress of the site since today May 2019. They just taking our money without doing a proper action, to think our money that we paid was generating interest for them since they didn't spent it for construction of our house. How cruel this company of yours that by the time of selling process too many sweet promises and after we paid a lot, we are suffering from many complaints. I already raised this issue to Ms. Grace in Camella Naga City but still no good update at all!Hoping that if you can't finish the house construction you will refund the money with penalty.

Dear Management,

I purchased a Fatima model house and lot in Camella Monserat Lapu lapu Cebu. Paid 80% of the total cost since 2017 but our house was still not finish in constructing. Its over delayed and only 10% was constructed and still no progress of the site since November 2018. They just taking our money without doing a proper action, to think our money that we paid was generating interest for them since they didn't spent it for construction of our house. While we are paying the interest of our bank loan, they are earning with it. How cruel this company of yours that by the time of selling process too many sweet promises and after we paid a lot, we are suffering from many complaints. I already raised this issue to Abygail Badjao in Camella Fortuna Cebu but still no reply from her side. Hoping that if you can't finish the house construction you will refund the money with penalty.

Our house is less than five years old and yet big cracks are very evident everywhere, especially the stairs. We are a small family with young kids and so no, there have been no abuse whatsoever in the "usage" of the house. For a house as expensive as this, I expected so so much more. This is beyond frustrating. And what's worse is your customer service is just frustrating.

Camellia homes malolos bulacan - we are looking for a good place to settledown but what a depressing experience ang carmella homes malolos bulacan. Poor communication skills, kung kani kanino ka ipapasa and then puro paasa. We are working abroad and yun nga email communication is the best channel pero un nga di man lang sila mag update kung ano na na ngyayari. Sobrang dami palpak if I will list it down kulang ang page nato. My ultimate concern is 2017 pa nakatayo unit namin, handed to the bank last year july 2018 pero until now wlang linaw kelan makakabit ang kuryente at tubig. We can't move in kung wlang utility facility ang sabi ng magagaling pwede na raw mag move in kasi may rasyon rw ng tubig. Ano yan relief goods after calamity!

This is really too long and too many problems, linked some videos!
This happened at Camella's offices in A.S Fortuna Cebu. Client name is Riza Edang and Juston Pilkington.
We got scammed into Camella's in house loan. We have said the whole time we did not want it and wanted to be approved by a bank before signing. We were also told that I could be on the loan applications (I'm an expat) We got denied at our bank (told I couldn't be on the loan) and told the sales agent we couldn't do it. He said it was just that bank branch and that we should go to Camella's bank branch. He met us there and got the lady to tell us we would be approved and got us to believe we were approved. We went to Camella's office to sign, while there they then said I couldn't be the co-signer and that my girlfriend didn't make enough and if she would put in additional income I had money to cover it. They talked her into it by saying that she can say she works more hours since she is self-employed. They also said this was common and everyone does it and that it was ok. She said ok and the marketing lady was even the one that added the additional information in. A couple weeks later we found out that we were not approved due to again I couldn't be on the loan at the bank. What a [censored]ing scam! We had requested our deposit back and first payment. More videos are coming on this issue!

I am currently working in Singapore and I had been too busy with my job. In spite of my situation I still pursue to get a house loan in Camella Sta Maria Bulacan as I want my parents to leave there as soon as possible so they are comfortable coz I thought Camella is a very good housing developer. They promise to start building the house in August 2018 as I was on the 1st batch who paid the whole amount of DP since December 2017. I cannot wait any longer as my parents are too old and I want them to be in a good house to leave in and I don't care about these hardships just to get a house for them now 1 year ago had passed and still giving promises to start the house soon. I decided not to continue anymore as I can actually just buy a house and lot for them instead. I went to their office last Decmber 2018 and I talked to one of their Production Department Officers. I told him that I will just cancel my account as I waited for how many months already and then he told me can start the house build on 25th of January 2019 the soonest possible. I told him I will stick to cancel my account. He told me to just email him (Chester) that I want to cancel it. So when I came back here in Singapore, I emailed him with Maren on the loop last 3rd of January 2019 that I will cancel my Camella Housing loan in Sta Maria Bulacan and until now I don't receive any acknowledgement or any reply from email and this is so very dissapointing on my end. Maybe I will ask Tulfo on this matter. Thank you.

We ask your help to expose a situation that camella gensan has been keeping secret and always happen here in this subdivision they always a robbery happen to this place. And yet no action taken from the home owner association.

Unknown to the public, the village issue was still continuously happening, UNRESOLVED issues in which at least 6 victims encountered in regards with this problem.Since the police, home owner association and the village security have both failed to resolve the mysterious theft incident and/or catch the criminals. This security standard operation practice (sop) failed to their duties and responsibilities.

What's worse: we are the sixth victim on this problem and yet no action taken.. in short the previous cases was not resolve and the management didn't do anything to the premises.

We need your help because no one trying to answer why this is keep happening on this subdivision yet we paid for security guard. issue. HOA, camella gensan and security keeping the issues buried and ignore.

Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am an OfW employee in Doha, Qatar who availed in 2016 a house and lot BLk 5 Lot 10, Camella Homes Trece Martirez Cavite. I finished paying the downpayment in 2017 with the total amount of 260k but unfortunately, I lost my job the same year that'swhy we didn't continue purchasing the house. Me and my wife decided to voluntary refund the payment eventhough its very less amount 43, 000 pesos only compared to what we payed but until now still we did not take the refund money. Now that I am employed again in Qatar and since we did not take the money, my concern is we would like to continue purchasing a condo hotel in Pines Suite Tagaytay and requesting to cancelled the refund request instead use the 260, 000k downpayment to purchase the condo.. We send emails to the marketing agent Micah [protected]@camella.com.ph about cancellation of refund but she refuse to help us because the check already done. Please we are begging you, we know you have rules to follow but since you know we OFWs working hard here abroad sacrificing every singles centavos just to send money back home.. We dont want to lose the money, we are asking your help to consider our request please.

Awaiting for your kind response.

Kind regards,

Hi there,

I am complaining about the rules on extending the house, putting up a fence, paving the outside floor and installing a garage roof.

They told us about some rules to be followed that I don't see being followed by my neighbors e.g space between walls, paved front yard, contruction bond for garage roof.

It is not in our contract that there should be a 2 meter space in our front and backyard that should not be paved.

We were advised of this rule and included it in our contruction plan just so it will be approved.

Space between the fence and the side wall of the house beside our house.

We were told that there should be a space between the wall of the neighbor's house and the fence we are building.

We checked the other houses here and we dont see them following this rule.

We followed this rule so our plan gets approved.

When we bought our house, it was not mentioned that there will be 5k construction bond for installing a garage roof.

One of our friends who has submitted a plan for the same instruction was not advised of this rule and camella did not collect 5k from her.

Looking forward to hear from you
