Yea. Same here. which bank you took?

the balcony are included in the mesurement. but i think carpark space should not consider in build up area.

Its true, if our unit is smaller than the size in the agreement then they have to compensate us according to the formula in the S&P which is (i cant remember how much per square feet - have to check the schedule in the S&P) and if there is any excess or extra spaces more than the size of ur unit then v dun have to pay anything for it.

Ic... the ans is no... your interest will be only charged based on the amount released from bank to developer..

During foundation work, every unit owner has to pay up 10% 1st... and then another amount for podium carpark (since we have a saparate SNP). After that, the developer will only request subsequent payment when construction reaches your floor. In other works, those who bought lower floor will hav to pay longer interest compare to those who bought 20th floor

RHB bank can do the monthly repayment start from the first disbursement?but my officer told me last time that i only can pay the interest,cannot do the prepayment.and he bluff tat no other bank will let u do monthly payment.only can pay interest only..so how can we do the monthly instalment first?wat the process for tat?need to write in letter to the rhb so tat i can start monthly prepayment liao?thanks.

Dear all,
i have a plan. why not we create a website for zest resident and the feature of the website benefit the resident. like the "latest news", "latest event", "Complaint", all the feature can publish in the front end at the website. got CMS and resident login function.

can we gather some of the website volunter programmer to discuss it before we can really form the committee. after the committee been form, we can put their email or contact number at the website. so, when there are problem, every resident know whom they can contact.

i am doing server and hosting. i can provide the Linux Hosting for 1st year free. anyone can sponsor domain and programming side ? then we can install forum at the website. since there are huge traffic for this topic.

i can be contact at 017-3282011 or email me at shiewwai85@hotmail.com

As I have not catch up with all the latest posting, I believe Zest is 100% sold! Bravo!

The next thing now is for the developer to keenly pursue some reputable commercial tenants or at least those that attract traffic/patrons. F&B is a must such as Old Town, Pak Li, Kim Gary or Wong Kok, fast food joint (McD) or Burger King,.... the rest can be offices but F&B is a must,....

Im looking forward for the opening...

Hello all the Zesters! I booked a unit in Block A about 2 weeks ago before seeing this hot thread, have been spending nearly 1 week to finish reading all the pages in version 1! fuhh....

Am currently waiting for the reply from several banks....

Just wonder if all corner units get side-by-side carpark?

Hi, actually OCBC does allow monthly installment upon first drawdown. I've confirmed this with OCBC. Hence looking at the offers by all the banks, seems that OCBC's one is rather attractive. For NZEC, 1st 3 years = BLR-2.3%. Thereafter BLR-2.4%.

Anyone took up loan from OCBC? Any better offer?

initially i thought OCBC offers the best rate with BLR -2.3,-2.4.
But after UOB banker showed me the comparison between their weekly -2.1 rate and normal monthly -2.3..
UOB actually gives the better rate..and your loan tenure is shorten to 4 years..with their weekly calculation..
so I took up UOB offers....but i wonder any tricks that i am not aware of...

Daily rest is pointless if you just paying on monthly basis....and the last time I check my UOB loan, its stated daily rest interest calculation. Can you elaborate on this weekly thingy...

dude..not scaring you...i think really depends on developer knowledge...if they got no experience..i guess we know wat to expect .
ktm or lrt..still got vibration n noise i guess...
yal..abt da traffic...
like this case..we r doomed lor..traffic congested + noise + vibration + neighbours arguing/fighting

Ahhh... finally I can see some decent words from you

I believe most of us here are a bunch of friendly Zest owners. The reason why your post wasn't well-taken was due to your aggressiveness.

You are right about the shoerack and the lack of entrance space. I could see there is a design issue with this. For your information, I'm taking up a Type B unit.

Look closely at Type B, you would see there a " T " wall at the entrance - to form the entrance and the storage room. When I first looked at it, I had the impression that the designer added this " T " wall after realizing the lack of a storage room and an entrance space. Again, this is only my impression because I find the design a bit "uncommon"

Dear fellow Zestians,

Let us all please return to the friendly warm and cozy discussion that we used to have. There is no (monetary) benefit for anyone of us to "gain a breath of air" (cantonese saying) by pointing/criticizing at what others are saying. I have seen worse "debates" in some other forums regarding another condo, and the only conclusion I could make from that was "gosh, luckily didn't buy there, imagine my neighbours like that...". Let's just stop right here and then, before things go out of control and ugly.

We all can complain about anything that we don't like here. But bear in mind on the approach we take. If you are really vested in this (and of course if you hope to make money from this property), remember that lots of prospect buyers/tenants are reading this thread. If we go down the road of negativity, we will only give our prospect buyers/tenants the wrong impression that the property is problematic - when the problem is probably manageable.

Thank you and looking forward to meet you all at the showhouse gathering!

dOES ANY ONW KNOW WHAT COLOR IS OUR BUILDING? IS IT GONNA BE WHITE ?>!AND YELLOW ?

Which type is it? Type A or Type B?

I was there last sat too.
The only one i was told available is Tower A, Type B selling at 298,888. We were there on the same day.
no comment .. but i will say they are gooooood with strategy

This is certainly very good news for all Zest purchasers.....hopefully, there won't be much protests from the existing residents....fingers cross that the construction works for the LRT will begin very soon.....

Existing purchasers must sell their units only at minimum RM300 per sq. ft. ok?? 

LRT is another bonus to the zest. sure the price and rental at the zest will going up. hopefully the nearest station will have enough car park. The most important thing is the ramp. Until now haven't see any action from developer yet. Any one have any update about the ramp?

Yup..Called up the Developer..they are moving to the show unit (office) on 5th oct..
Hopefully can see the unit...

Visit them n give some pressure and bring up the issue on heron ma..
BTW anyone from Block B know when is the first disbursement from bank?

Have they started piling for block B? When the piling starts for block B..then starts the Loan distribution..

I agree with you that it is absolutely stupid to justify that tiles popped up after validity period...as if they are selling roti with an expiry date...If yes, she is basically saying TT's project only good for 18 months....lets hope that is not the company's position or the boss' position but merely a stupid SA's position....I think irrespective of price, an apartment cannot be built to last merely 18 months, right?

does anyone kno when will the show house ready?
