hi samantha
does OCBC offer u blr - 2.1% for whole tenure?

That B-2.1 is for semi flexi only..any banks also can offer this rate for semi flex..

hi brian,
what does semi flexi mean?

yes , but i've got other bank offering BLR 2.1 % also they actually calculate by MLR coz they're foreign bank,
but i heard that they can increase the interest any time, coz they're beyond control by Bank negara, is that true?

My advice to you guys out these is...Please understand the characteristics of the loan package that you are going to take...

Besides that, do take into count the pros and cons of the housing project before signing the SPA...No doubt abt it, the house is nice and BIG...However, buying house is a lifelong commitment (Unless you are very rich) and careful considerations are needed...

For example, does any1 here knows how the whole project will look like when completed?I am starting to have my doubt now because there are neither detailed broucher nor model version of the whole project shown by the developer...And does any1 here approached the CORRECT people on the whole project outlay?I have tried to ask 1 same question (A straight forward question) to 4 different sales persons..and guess wht?all 4 of them give me TOTALLY different answers...FYI, this project only consist of 75 houses and some basic information were supposed to be at their fingertips...I am not suspecting any1's integrity but how can this kind of things happen?Its totally not logical unless these sales people were not trained/informed on these information...which was even more not logical...

And whether you like it or not, some critics and concerns mentined by skng03 are valid...In addition to that, there are also a few more issues which I do not 1 2 disclose...

They still haven't distributed the brochure yet???? yet still so many ppl buy?? this is scary and a bit risky. Did you ask why the brochure yet still not out yet? they can change the layout and size anytime..better look out for the details when signing SPA..it should be mentioned clearly there... but as for the whole total project planning.. i guess they are not those big player with big township development...anyway you got a point too

The only thing that is given out is the brochure for registration only..Mayb the actual brochure will be out in official launch..I am just pretty surprised tht the demand from public is so high at this prelim stage..even without knowing the actual overall concept..frankly, I also only know 1 word in regards of this project, TROPICAL..nothing more..Frm wht i saw in Vista Cheras actual brochure, it also does not mention in more detail the concept of the project..

I just felt very strange. y nowadays ppl buy house just for the sake of buying without really have the fundamental knowledge on the said project?

Worst, some do not even know what kind of loan which are offered to them n just take whatever which give a higher -BLR..sad story..

oh yal.. brian no need to get your emotion to be saddened by those story.. it happens everyday.. anyway it is other ppl money.. most important do you want to help other ppl to avoid from the same mistake? share your point here then it is helpful..

anyway.. beside desa budiman.. i think sg.long is attracting a lot of developer..

there are already few developers planning to develop new project in near future..when exactly not sure.. for eg. Malton is planning to develop an exclusive high end project there.. and I heard Sunway is also going in...

Tesco? I remain silent for this... but i think there is a possibility...

Added on May 24, 2010, 1:35 amtoday..first time for me personally go to the area of the said development..
area is a bit deep inside...
access is a bit not so nice... but they have 2 access...
one thing i notice is the surrounding still with a lot of untouched nature.. as what is their selling themes as per mentioned on the first page of their brochure..
Living Art in a Tropical Sanctuary.. well we shall see what they mean by `Tropical Sanctuary` in few years time...
Landscape of surrounding not bad... but still got a lot of empty land.. not sure who own those land and what will happen on those land beside...
if suddenly they build a low cost aprtment beside.. then that its.. the end of sanctuary hahaha..

since there are still got a lot of untouched land. it seems that area will be going a huge development.. means another few years of dust and noise and blasting!
based on some resources...surrounding is developing of semi-D and bungalow lots by Pujangga and other few more developers which i cant disclose here...

very Low dense only 75 units with GnG with more than 2500 BU, concealed drains n underground utility.. nice design and nice layout...
developer is well known of always VP earlier than schedule...

well.. show unit looks impressive.

my verdict.... hmm ask yourself this question.. where to get this kind of house nearby that area with $480k..?? if there is please let us know...
prediction of price yield is at conservative min 8% per annum.. no need to argue.. just my prediction based on my experience..
shall see back this forum in another 2 years time..

good luck!

Yeah... hello everyone.. I bought a unit there.. i love the design so much..
area is a bit deep but i dont mind as long as the security is good and furthermore i prefer quiet place with a lot of green surrounding and fresh air too...with the bungalow unit surrounding ... and a lot of green ..it has a resort feeling..feel like B.Jalil Golf Resort...cant wait it till completed...

ReiShou, May I know what is the price u buy for the unit?

Added on May 24, 2010, 1:36 pmI've visited the show house last saturday, quite impress with the developer's workmanship and the quality materials they provide.

Pros:
1. 2X2 Tiles
2. High Ceiling on Ground & First Floor (Looks grand)
3. Laminated Floors (more expensive)
4. Car Porch with tiles
5. Store room also has tiles! (unexpected)


Cons:
1. Location is deep in (If you dont have Car, pls dont buy here)
2. Feel hot (not windy as Cheras Vista)
3. Car Porch is rather short if you ask me.
4. Too many windows on master bedroom, after install grill, i reckon it will looks nice.

Hi All,
I went there yesterday and made a booking - but now thinking of withdrawing (refundable within 7 days).
I plan for investment but after some thoughts yesterday night, not sure if it is a good idea.

And just curious.... seems the intermediate 2A still no one pick it up since a long time ago ? what's wrong with that unit ?

Which block did u booked?The unit 2A is located in which block?

I booked block G.
The intermediate 2A is Black D I think (main entrance road).

It really depends on individual preference..But I do not note any issues with this unit..Btw, do u guys think tht the conner lot is a bit pricey?In addition to the land price of RM50/sqft, you need 2 pay 80k conner premium?And if your house is facing the playground, another premium of 12k is applicable...

Hi Purplecane..
I got it at 480k.. someone loan not approved so I got the unit! Lucky lucky.. as what I saw last Sun.. only 3 corners units.. one of it is showroom..
the rest all tagged already.. I heard from SA got 3 units cannot get loan approved and released and was immediately booked by other buyers..
Purplecane ..I dont like house with a lot of grill.. doesnt look nice.. feel like in the jail..
you booked a unit?

Hi, the unit tht u booked is it either F12 or F12A?Which is the other unit released?

Brian u booked a unit there? Corner unit is very nice .. but very pricey too...480 + 80 = 560k for corner? i heard is around >600k.. which block corner unit u referring to? i think if u can afford and like the scenery there.. i think it will be good place for family .. even the brochure is advertising their corner unit..
what is the price for corner unit now for vista cheras 3? I think you can benchmark with it.
I missed Vista Cheras 3 last time... now it is so nice...
I hope DB will be better than VC3.. and Pujangga will invest more on the landscape as what they mentioned in their brochure "lush green surroundings with tropical landscape".
Do you think I can sue the developer if they never plant any trees inside the compound?

Not really, the price of the corner is 480+80k+(RM50xsquare feet of the vacant land)...Wah, so fast wanna sue them already...hahaha..btw, do u hav any idea which 3 units pertains are released due to the reason of "loan not approved"?

Added on May 24, 2010, 8:10 pmBtw, they did plant quite a number of trees such as at the side...so unfortunate for u, u can't sue them already...hahaha...

ReiShou,
I just went to have a look with my family, keh poh
Its impossible NOT to install grill right? break in cases quite serious at Sg Long Area
Congratulations on your buy, the house is really nice, my family like it very much, just the location that make us hesitated...

nah la...just want to send the message to the developer.. coz maybe the developer is watching this forum
hope the developer will fulfill their promises or else no one will buy from them anymore in their next few phases..
not sure which units..coz didnt bother to ask details

why u r so interested to know? r u from the developer?

Haiyah, will i ask if i m the developer?juz wanna ke poh only..but to tell u la, trees are not important, it would be good if the developer can provide the same level of security like the ones in aman suria in pj, bayu gita or twin palms..1. where the access are via cards..2. all alarm system are linked to guard house n 3. the guards will call the house owner if there are any visitors, rather than letting the visitor come in without authorisation...

1,2,3 will make the value of the property to shoot up, however, monthly maintenance will not come in cheap (Especially only 75 units of hse to share all these costs..however, i believed tht whoever buy a hse in DB will be able to pay such an premium over the maintenance...
