I think the 2-storey Semi D exterior does not look as grand as the 3-storey, it also does not have luxury features like top floor garden, jacuzzi, & outdoor shower. However, 2-storey Semi D is much more practical for a regular family and much easier to maintain as it does not have all the excessive luxury features as listed above. I think the 3-storey Semi D is not practical & will be hard to maintain for the following reasons:

- Double Volume Living Area - hard to change light bulb ot clean ceiling fan, aircond cost will be high
- Top floor outdoor area & jacuzzi requires lots of cleaning
- Top floor glass panel skighlight roof over the jacuzzi- soon the glass roof will be quite dirty, i don't know how you could clean it as its so high up, use a sky lift?
- Acoustic problem between ground floor living & first floor family area - living & dining area will be quite noisy if somebody is watching tv upstairs.

Having said that, the 3-storey Semi D definitely looks better if you are a regular party host. It also provides the 'wow' factor to your guests with the above luxury features.

Coolguy,

Totally agree with u. Just ask those who has an existing double volume living area and they can share their experience with u.

Yup, I called my OCBC. They need advice from Swan & Partner first..

I also received the 10% progressive billing for 3-storey Superlink from Legend Grand Development Sdh. Bhd. (Mah Sing). Check with CIMB and they said CIMB cannot release the money as the documentation is not in order.

Call Mah Sing and they said they are aware of the problems. If they are aware of the problems, why do they bother to send us the progressive billing. The due date is 26 June 2011 and I hope that Mah Sing will not charge us late interests as it is not due to our faults.

Mah Sing need to get their house in order or else the public will have a bad impression of the company.

Almost every renown developer will encounter disputes with purchasers, unless the project is abandoned, otherwise it won't tarnish TMS's name at all.
IMHO, do show black & white evidence, otherwise the ultimate winner will be the developer, I dun think you can get rid of the late interest of the progressive payment, the danger part is if you drag further, the developer has solid ground to claim back the unit, look at the bigger picture, dun end up to save a little only to lose a lot.
Some of the purchasers has agreed with the arrangement right? I think it is a wise move...
Remember, in this country, is not the gomen "tai sai", but the developer is!!  shakehead.gif

I have checked with CIMB and Mah Sing on the status. They all agreed that the delay is due to Mah Sing not being able to perfect the documentation and therefore the bank is not able to release the payment. Mah Sing has agreed to look into this problem.

Spoke to Mah sing's credit admin dept too. Person in charge say as long as doc from developer not in place, there wun be late interest charges. But can we trust her word? Or require black & white?
*
Spoke to Mah Sing again this morning. Apparently there is some delay in the transferring of the land title from Mahajaya to Mah Sing due to the State Consent (for leasehold land). Technically the land still belongs to Mahajaya and therefore CIMB being our purchaser's financier will not release money for the progressive payment.

Hi, get it on black & white... to be safe.

Please send your complaint to tracey.cheong@mahsing.com.my.

According to Tracey from Credit Admin, they will waive all interest charges if the delay is due to Mah Sing. They acknowledge that the current delay is due to them as their documentation is incomplete i.e. transfer of the land title from Mahajaya to Mah Sing

ALternatively you can also call her at 03-9221 6888. I suggest those affected to send an email to her so that it is documented.

Can any Semi-D buyer confirm this?
*
I have checked the Irerevocable Offer of Purchase. It states that the Purchaser will lose RM 1000 if he decide not to proceed and to sign the SnP with the Developer.

There is no mention that the Developer will compensate the Purchaser RM 1000 if they decide to "abandon" the project. Anyway the Developer can come out with more "subtle" ways (rather than telling you that they are not procedding with the project) like increasing the original price which they can legally do so or saying that approval cannot be obtained. Hopefully Mah Sing will not resort to such dirty tactics.

Depends on where they built the highway. For Alam Impian, Setia Alam, Kota Kemuning and other newer townships, the highways are outside the townships and therefore it is OK. SKIP will cut through Bandar Kinrara and other existing township and therefore the environment may not be very conducive.

Spoke to staff at mah sing and they re targeting signing for semi d Dec 2011..managed to dig out the real reason..
Apparently semi d plans resubmitted last month as against new regulation .. Balcony cannot be built on car porch
.. So the top floor balcony for 2 and 3 story semi d need to be built inwards into the room..they promised built up still same as they will widen the room instead.. Room now shorter but fatter at the side.. Imagine show hse balcony built into room..they will write to owners soon with new floor plan.. I think we should ask MS to compensate by giving some free upgrades..!!
*
This gonna make a lot of people mad with Mah Sing. We have waited for more than 11 months to sign the SnP. A mighty long wait......

A lot of us has already allocated a sum of money to purchase the Semi D. If for some reasons, we now decided not to proceed with the SemiD, we would have lost 11 precious months of opportunity buying properties elsewhere. In addition the prices elsewhere would have gone up considerably over the last 11 months.

Is it behind the Petronas Petrol Station? If yes, that place is called Kinrara Hills.

If it is near BK 6B/9 or BK 8, then it is
1. Qaseh Superlink houses which is near the entrance to BK 8 - still under construction
2. Chinta Semi-D/Bungalow besides the Semi-Ds in BK 8 - still under construction
3. Sapphire Link Houses in BK 8 - Just completed
4. Emerald Link Houses in BK 8 - still under construction

Hope this helps.

i hope we are not too biased towards MS and condoning their bad services/attitude just because the construction is on time. delay in S&P might affect the sales/value of the property in other sense for instance, some of the investors will lose faith in their project, which is not a good thing towards existing investors. what i am trying to say is we have to scrutinize Mahsing's project instead of letting them to simply give us unfounded promises. we are paying them to develop houses, needless to say it's not a small/minimal amount!
*
Agreed with you. We have paid the booking fees for 1 year already and yet we do not know when we are signing the S&P and when the properties will be completed. It's like they are using our booking money for free.

If given a 2nd chance, I would have purchased properties elsewhere. Now I am stuck with Mah Sing and at their mercy. All others properties have gone up in the last 12 months. Don't think I will be buying another Mah Sing property in the future. Mah Sing is really unprofessional. They never bother to update their buyers on the delay in a regular basis and via officiall channels e.g. via emails, fax or letters.

Count me in.

I just got a call from their lawyer, Halim Ong & Chan this evening that the SnP with Mah Sing for the double storey SemiD is ready for execution. I guess they must be going through all the postings in this Forum. Just to share with everyone.

Hope that there are no suprises.

Agree with the deadline thingy. So let's make it next Saturday(19th nov) to be the deadline for giving inputs of any issues, then I will finalize the memo - letting you guys to proofread/double-checking- submit to MS by tuesday(22nd Nov).

Any objections?


Added on November 11, 2011, 7:39 am

I heard they are letting us to pre-sign the s&p, meaning without the terms and conditions/ clauses in the documents. In that case, I would not be signing it until and unless finalization for the s&p is done.what do u think bro?
*
Agreed i.e. will not sign if it is just a pre-sign SnP with no terms and conditions.

It is like signing a blank check. How to agree if we do not know the terms and conditions. Have to wait and see what actually comes out from Mah Sing. Will call them next Monday

totally agree with you that we are not here to oppose or condemn TMS but to help the develeper to be the Premier Lifestyle Developer.  icon_rolleyes.gif

If KR is a success, somewhat ppl will think of, say, Setia Eco Park. Ppl will pay notwithstanding of the high price, bcos of the reputation and offering high quality materials.
*
I finally got the revised drawing plan for the 1st Floor, 2 storey SemiD. KR has reduced the size of the master room and therefore the built-up. We should seek some compensation from KR or KR upgrade the specs for the building.

The master room now looks smaller as the balcony has "eaten" into the master room space.

how did you get the plan? from TMS? if this plan has been approved by the authorities or just a proposal?

anyway, i am just wonder if we can choose to not to have balcony and thus room size remain? otherwise, some sort of upgrade / compensation as suggested.
*
Their lawyer Halim, Hong and Qwek called me last week that we can signed the SnP. The revised plans are in the SnP and signed by their Architect. You can request the same from Halim, Hong and Qwek.

Mah Sing did not even bother to inform their customers on the changes to the original plan. The least they can do is that they can sent the letters to the affected purchasers.

I think I would also choose not to have the balcony and have it included as part of the master room.

did you manage to ask the lawyer if purchaser allow to choose? or just to sign? if so, how do we know if there are any other changes?

however, not sure if you notice, the length is now 15210 and previously was 15060, longer by 150mm. so, better deal?

hmmmm...  rclxub.gif

Purchaser not allowed to choose. At the moment this is the final plan acoording to them.

Yup longer by 150 mm i.e. 5.9 inches.

Dear all Semi D buyers,

I went to the site last weekend and was shocked to note that they are now using "onsite cast concrete" for some of the walls in the 2 storey Semi D. Please look at the pictures taken. Is MS rushing to complete the Semi D???????? Forget the clay or kalsa bricks debate. They are now using "onsite cast concrete" for the walls.

I don't understand why certain walls are made of bricks and others are using on-site cast concrete. Any experts opinions.
