I m fine wit the dry wall actually no problem in fact I nvr noticed it until told by the ID designer....
I m also fine with the maintenance fees as long as the management do a good job at it. I still can't understand people complaining about it...seriously if u don't want to pay maintenance fees don't buy condo la....
There is really no such things as 'too much' when it comes to security and maintenance...

Dry wall is mainly put up in offices when owners renovate them since it is more feasible than brick wall and cheaper. Usually brick wall is the standard spec for houses, condos, apartments and offices, included by the developer. Very rarely dry wall will be included as standard, unless there is some cost-cutting exercise. Dry wall is hollow and cheap, not as durable and will leak noise easier so people will tend to avoid.

As for maintenance fees, that is subjective. It depends or not whether the owner needs the facilities. Midfields is relying on the water features, landscape and facilities to demand for higher-than-norm maintenance fees. Most of the landscape and water features need maintenance. The plants will rot in time and algae will form few years down the road with all these water features if not well kept periodically, and all these cost money. Looks good when new, not too sure 5-10 years down the road.

ya ur rite... but wat makes this so spl u have to pay so much for maintanence alone??? juz wondering...

s


i think the brochure from YTL already spell out drywall so buyers are entrusted to read themselves..i found no issue with drywall or brick maybe we just 2 of us ....

im ok with the maintenance fee, it is good to filter out those ppl which are unwillingly to pay that much...i think nearby desa petaling condos the maintenance fee around 0.10-0.15cent is another option...

it is always the problem when ppl want to stay in condo faces with maintenance fee.. gated housing without facilities is charging RM120 per house btw

My unit drywall is badly damaged by molds and fungus and creepy crawlies.Would strongly advise against drywall. Drywall overseas are of slightly different material and sealer is applied in addition to coat of paint....not forgetting workmanship and toilet etiquette are factors to compare and consider. Will post a photo of my damaged wall when I go back on the weekend.

understand your plight, pls ask the management to replace it as it is still within warranty period of 18months..

mine no problem so far...touch wood

Hi there... Any owner looking to release their unit??? Genuine buyer...
Pls PM me

Real owner pls, not agent

ya true lah..if dont want to pay maintenance, then stay in landed but then nowadays security is ultra important so i rather pay..

having said that i noticed that maintenance fees are going up for condos generally ..just got a notice for 30% increase in maintenance fee for a condo in DP..!
geram lah..some more maintenance not top notch..

think YTL will do a better job ..time will tell.

35cent maintenance....no easy to find a condo below 500k and above >500 unit with such high maintenance fee in KV....

this should be the 1st one.

think YTL "milking" the owners then? so JMB takes over, can reduce the maintenance ?

As promised, my drywall

UOA cheap fence link, now YTL cheap board wall...seems like nowadays wellknown developer also give want to cut cost here n there...

this looks crap..could be water leaking?..pls pm me.. we go bersih style to management office..

did u complaint to mgmt?

Actually this really looks like crap....I would be pissed badly if this was my unit!!!!

there seems to be a leakage problem....its still under defect warranty so YTL should be able to fix it..??

anyway, as long as there is water leakage, it will still look like this whether drywall or brickwall...

want to ask. anyone can recommend a good contractor for simple renovations? plan to rent out my unit.

Dear Midfields Onwers :
I am an onwner of Midfields. Are you happy with the painting of the external wall of the building ? Personally I am not happy with the unpleasant faded/crack/patchy paints either on Block A1, A2, B1, B2 and Block C. Since it is still under the defect liability period I think the developer is responsible to take action to rectify the situation. If they need to repaint the whole building then they have to do it. After all we are not suppose to pay for such a lousy paint job. I believe that the you guys will agree with me on this issue. I have officially launch an complaint to the developer via the management office. If you think you deserve and rectification on this issue, I strongly suggest you to launch a complaint to the developer. Shall the issue be resolved I believe not only it will make you enjoy the environment more, but it will add more value to your property. With more complaints from the owners, the developer would look into this matter more seriously. The email address is midfields@yes.my ( Attn : Mr. Mohan ). I have attached several photos in my complaints, I suggest you guys do the same. Let's do it for betterment of the place we stay. Thank you

im certainly agree with u..since under warranty, we must ask them do

I certainly agreed with you....but I think YTL is also claiming all the defects with their main con. Anyways even internally need so much work....my common area are still plastered with cement everywhere. Horrible....

how long does the contractor takes to fix the defect? i am finding that they are not very good in responding to my emails...
