Hmmm....this condo has caught my attention. I think once Pekeliling Flats start being redevelop, this place may fly!
What's the fair price now?

I am sorry to say this but this sentence of yours is completely irresponsible. I think forums are meant to share but I don't think anybody will describe KLCC as "almost empty" and MK as "ghost town".

Honestly, I am looking for a unit in TS (I have not been able to find a "motivated seller" since almost 2 months!) and should let you continue with your negative postings here so sellers will panic and sell, but my consience can't stop me from posting.

I have noticed there are postings with "questionable intentions" in Property forum. Some will try to say all negatives, hoping people will sell/not buy and some will say only positives to generate more interest. This may affect those new into property investments but never the seasoned people.

Worried? Not the slightest bit. In fact, your postings suit all my intents and purposes in regards to TS. I am just waiting for a motivated seller. As simple as you say.

But if you're really genuinely discussing TS, why make silly statements like "KLCC is almost empty and MK is ghost town"? It just shows the "integrity" of your points.

Bro, my thoughts exactly. Though I am one of those vultures who's waiting to pounce, I cannot ethically do it by spreading disinformation (though on hindsight, i should just let others continue doing it). There will always be people out there that will sell cheap sooner than later...maybe need money for wedding, illness etc. Then its fair play.

Or maybe I'm actually one of those who owns a competiting rental place next door and can't afford for TS owners to rent/sell low low so my current rental can still compete? Muahahaha

My point? Read in between the lines. There are undoubtely many lurkers on this forum that just read and hope to get information for free. Nothing wrong with that, but just read and think critically.

Bingo, I too have checked out his profile when i started noticing how his posts tended to be one sided. Just curious at first, but what I found made me suspicious. I mean, why would someone without any interest in TS suddenly pop out and just post continous negatives on it? I don't see him doing similar postings on any other projects. Usually people will ask questions or lurk quietly around reading the updates.

Though I think we can't dismiss all of his negative comments, I think he went overboard with some. But I guess if someone is resorting to tactics like this, he MUST be very very keen on TS. I would too...if only the price is better. Now not much subsales coz owners are very stiff on the asking and the potential buyers don't see it at those price currently.

You see, you're doing it again. Why do you talk of MK and KLCC as if its a bad word? Are you comparing TS with condos in MK or KLCC (upmarket area)? But you just said TS is a mid-ranged condo.

50k profit in MK? hahaha. Kindly point out to me which condo there sells at developer's price. Or even just one that sells at just RM50k above developer's price.

Hahaha. Not shooting but you're wrong of course. I know Meridin very well and its definitely much higher than developer's price. A simple research will tell you that. Even Lumina Kiara next to same highway, and even closer to toll booth (hence even noisier) is way higher. Or the ugly looking La Grande is a good RM200k above developer's price.

I am not an owner but keen investor in TS. I started to actively look for a unit since 2 months ago and have not been able to get one at "good price". I do not say good things only about TS but also cannot stand suspicious postings by people who obviously have their own reasons.
To put it into reality, I offered rm450k 2days ago for a unit but the owner refused!
I guess I don't have brain....or maybe the owner is the one without brains.

Whatever it is, I still can't get a choice unit at rm450k and will be thinking if I should increase my offer. Surely by your account I am even more brainless. So maybe you can tell me where to get a similar property at this price. And u don't néed to reply in bolder red....easier on my brainless eyes

You're not interested? Then please do share with us your agent's contact. I am interested if nice unit. U can also pm me the agent's number if you're not keen to put here. If deal go through, I will make sure the agent give you a referree's cut of the commission.

Thanks,
Minolta

I am still waiting for the agent's contact from ken. Why u ignore me? U surely must be telling the truth, the way u write in Bolded, Red, Caps!

Oh really? Iproperty? Wow. How cone I never thought of that? Do u think the prices in iproperty are genuine when they advertise at that price? I am really waiting for the unit at rm420k. Maybe u can even share the level and facing. U said the prices dropped! What was the price that it was asking for before? Ur after all a keen and wise investor with SO many properties.

Added on August 29, 2011, 11:07 amWow, I see you mention my name. Interesting coz I have never met my "supposed best fren" called Pai before. Have i ever mentioned Pai as sharp before? Please quote my statements. Would you like me to quote how Zavier praised u as "sharp"? I'm hope u know what being sharp means.

To have a super wise investor like u mention my name, I feel so proud already.

How come when I called him up he tells me impossible to get RM420k? And cheapest unit he have is RM450k for 5th level unit (Lowest floor) facing shop (terrible view)? Also he says never call anyone and tell him got unit at RM420k anytime even past 2 weeks?

Why ah why ah why ah? You sure you're really telling the truth here? His name is Jason. You can try calling him to confirm that what I write is the TRUTH.

Hi, I am interested in your rm420k unit. Can u confirm availability? PM me ur contact please.

Ur really something! U say ur agent call you tell you that he offered you a unit at rm420k. I called and spoke to Ur agent and he said no such thing! You are obviously lying. But then u even have the guts to turn around and call me lying and a dog! People have called your agent (who you yourself posted the number here) and also said no such unit exist. You still dun know where to stop.

BTW, Irene just pmed me and said she is not sure if her unit at Rm420k is still available, that she heard of it from her agent fren few weeks ago! I will wait for her confirmation.

Leaking in a condo is a really hassle! I had a similar problem recently in one of my condos. Tenant complain that there was leaking from ceiling at toilet, till plaster ceiling got hole and water dripping! And just after 2 years warranty period! Had to arrange for meeting with tenant, owner of above floor, developer rep, management office rep, plumber and me at the same time to view my unit and above floor's unit. Turns out that there is a hole thru the concrete flooring to the above floor. The headache is to assign fault. Above floor say never do drilling, I say never do drilling, developer say should never have hole (BTW, all should know that though developer only give 2 years warranty, the concrete comes with 10 years warranty!) So how? In the end, have to be thick face loh.
This is a property by an award winning developer summore!

Complaint up all the way till Developer's MD. 2 page official letter with cc to relevant authorities. The project manager called me and said they will repair it. Kautim in 1 week.

I think you're right to a certain extent. Better in regards to being an upmarket place. I think Tamansari is hoping to be another CBD like KLCC. Which has the potential, if done well and able to attract offices/companies. And IF the river of life thingy really goes as planned.

However, TS is where the spill over is at. People may prefer to rent at Tamansari, but the rental will have to be commensurate with the property price, and psf, it will have to be higher than TS. Hence, TS will offer an alternative, an attractive one too. That's what I see in TS when Tamansari goes up.

Added on September 2, 2011, 4:17 pmHaha. Quite thick. RM200 is a permanent or quick fix? Leaks are not minor issue bro. If not settle well, it will come back to haunt you later. And once the developer fix this problem, they will know to do it well coz they know if repeat complaint, it will not only be embarassing but they will have to be responsible.

Tadak leftover mah

My opinions on rental here: -

Students/mass market/foreign labourers etc.
- Lotsa demand at RM1.7k/m.
- Minimal outlay. Probaly spend RM500 of lesser to install basic fans and lights +/- sink (does TS come with sink coz the units I visited all have none?) That's it.
- Can probably skip agent's commission and advertise on own
- Not really much difference on floor level or facing IMO. So low levels should be able to command quite similar rental as high floor.
- Definitely doable at RM2k/m rental! If can get.
- But forseeable wear & tear to property + makes TS as a whole less appetizing for all


Couple/small family/low-end expat
- partly/fully furnished, but no need high end finishing. At least RM10k outlay. Need some airconds and decent lighting and kitchen + wardrobe.
- Expected rental? Maybe RM2-2.2k/m, I think fair price. RM2.4k above is good rates.
- less wear & tear.
- Floor level and facing plays a bit more important role.
- likely cannot escape agent's commission


High-end expat/companies etc
- niche market
- Rental IMO should be at least RM2.6k/m and above.
- Higher initial outlay - RM30k at least. Fully furnished, the works.
- Floor level and facing plays very important role, probably the deal clincher.
- Will not escape agent's commission


Short-term rental(days/weeks)
- F/F + works + utensils + bedsheets + astro/wifi +/- cleaning
- RM100/day minimum
- needs lotsa patience
- floor + facing must be decent
- high capital outlay - close to 3 or 4 star hotel reno at least
- likely escape agent's commission but need lotsa own time/personal attention +/- website
- tax benefits?


I think these rates are probably realistic at current times. Future rates depends on how the area transform to.

Congrats! 1st unit? Wow, how many units do u have?
