Hope my answers below are helpful. BTW, Im staying at B2 for 7 months already. I personally fine this is a good place to stay if you are a city person. Some claimed that having the car park on separate building is a problem. however, i prefer this arrangement because i can take a slow walk everyday and enjoy either the greenery or the swimming pool view.
Hi everyone. I am considering purchasing a unit at Midfields 1 as a home for my wife and I.
I have read through almost every page of this thread and note the problems highlighted here last year. I would like to inquire whether these problems have been resolved - and if not resolved, whether concrete steps are underway to resolve them).
Specifically:-
1) I understand that there is a petition to install telephony and Unifi broadband services. The petition requires 400 signatures if I am not mistaken. What is the status of this petition?
- Spoke to management, they are engaging TM. Hope we have good news soon.
2) For those of you who are using YES, what is the cost and have you experienced any problems with YES?
- I'm using Maxis wireless. So far no issue except every expensive.
3) For those living in Block B2, do you encounter any noise and/or dust from the Midfields 2 construction site?
-past few months was bad. They started work on 7.30am for piling work. Now seems quiet. Personally, I'm fine with they start work from 8am onward. I straggle the most is on Sat morning.
4) Is open burning of plastics and other waste (from the nearby waste/recycling yard) a noticeable problem?
- Not that I know off. It is very windy except recently due to haze.
6) Is noise from the highways noticeably loud (the entire condominium in general but Block B2 in particular)?
- hardly can hear any. Still a distance away.
5) Do the landscaped grounds experience flooding when it rains?
- The JMB has done a good job to resolve this issue.
6) Do the pools (both the main and the smaller pool) still experience flooding from the grounds when it rains?
- Not sure
7) I read somewhere here that when the unit above washes his balcony, water will leak onto the balcony below. Is this true?
- Not for me.
8) Is the Management Office open from 9am to 6pm on weekdays only?
-Yes
9) it seems crime is also a problem (read about the murder of the Indonesian national and apparently car rims were stolen). Has Management taken any concrete steps to reassure residents or beef up security?
- murder case was outside of Midfields and at the roadside. I would have worried more if somebody can get through the guard and kill someone inside the premise. For stolen car rims, did not aware of this other than reading from the post, so no comment.
10) Lastly, are there any other issues that I should be aware of?
- Be prepared for many defects. If you plan to buy one, please do it before the end of this year while you still enjoy the warranty. YTL defect team is very helpful. please dont blame them for the defects because they are trying to resolve the problem created by the developer.
Thank you so much and I do apologize in advance for the long list of queries (trying to do my due diligence before buying). Any assistance or advice is most appreciated.
Cheers
Jon
