yalor i dun think TMS allow also..........

sometime the noise is serenity especially children's laughter. in any case, if you look at lakeedge's park or any pther parks in any enclaves for that matter, hardly people go there unless it's during weekend's evening only. on weekdays, people are too busy at work.

rm50k is for those who wants to flip. after cf, most sub-sales will go after units next to the park. for an affluent enclave like KR, sub-sale buyer don't mind paying a little more premium for units next to the park.

Can I know how much is the stamp duty for SPA and MOT? Are they the same?

I know I got to pay the stamp duty but I am not sure how much. Btw, my unit is 2 storeys (RM526980)

RM526980 for double storey link house in KR? Where did you get this price? I thought the minimum price was RM700++????

He purchased fr Mahajaya, lucky!!

In fact the actual selling price was RM498,988... Just imagine that your neighbour who bought from MS need to spend 200K extra for the same house.

Kenot say right or wrong, I think tis incident will happen once in our lifetime, I would say they are the lukiest batch of purchasers I ever see in my life, they shd thank TMS came into the picture.
I was at Mahajaya sales office suppose to buy 2 1/2 storey, but after saw the 2 1/2 show unit, I withdrawed (the show quality is terrible).
The upgrade offered by TMS is quite reasonable as many extra things have been added (modern facade, larger b/up, club membership, security intercom), I dun understand why still have many Mahajaya buyers didn't accept tis offer and blame TMS for doing that. For those units which didn't upgrade, TMS will still made some changes on the facade (FOC) to make it look a bit similar to the new design, but we can still differential it.
I know TMS is a very calculative developer, every single cent also count, those Mahajaya buyers who didn't take up the upgrade package shd be worry whether TMS build different quality hse for them, as I know the management is not very happy with these batch of purchasers, it will end up providing Mahajaya quality fir you.

I understand those Mahajaya feeling. A increase of 200K in pricing is almost 50% increase of the original price. Not everyone is able to afford it and get their 90% loan approved. On top of that, they probably does not need the facilities from the clubhouse and is fine with the design. If you mention about the qualities that TMS provide, I saw some screenshots for the link house, they are not good as well. Definitely not worth the 200K upgrade. If let say I have the 200K cash in hand, I rathar stick with the original Mahajaya design and spend the money on my renovation. I believe it will be much nicer than TMS house.

However, just my 2 cents worth.

Nolah...you probably misunderstood, 2-storey hse upgrade only cost the existing buyers 28K only, to enjoy all those benefits, dun you think it is not wise? Anyway this is personal choice

hahah...28K sounds reasonable...y would existing MH purchaser complaining about...

its a very good deal indeed...

Heard from the lawyer that a lot of purchaser wanted to upgrade their unit last minute but MS rejected it due to the deadline for upgrade already passed. Agree with you on the upgrade is reasonable as it's RM28K for 2 storey and RM50K for 2.5 storey. For 2.5 storey, it added 360sqft to the built up.

Not sure whether we are lucky until the final product is handover to us.

Exactly!
But at least right now we'll have a clue of the material that they will be using. The material used in the show house for Semi-D is a reflection of what will they be using for 2 and 2 1/2 storeys. And it seems to be... well low quality. Honestly I was disappointed when I visited the show units last week (the unrenovated one).

Did you opt for the upgrade?

Yes I know that, my fren us one of those last minute, after seeing the showhouse, regret now. The best selling point for KR is the club house, in the future, the selling price could be easily 30K different.
Although many including me say the quality of the show unit is so so only, but has anyone of you saw Mahajaya 2 1/2 storey show house (at the entrance), I would say damn Jialat!! In my life I never saw a terrible show unit like that, if TMS 3-storey is 8 marks, Mahajaya's show unit is 3 marks.
Those who take up the upgrade package are in fact buying an insurance fr TMS, to ensure that theirs' hse are similar to new design. It is nothing wrong if TMS provide MAHAJAYA quality for non-upgraded hses.

Hi krgia10,
Yes, I opted for the upgrade after doing some calculation on my own.
Things like additional 200sq feet + so called higher quality tiles + different layout (toilet move to a 'better' position) probably cost about the same or more.

Not so keen on the club house but i like the new layout by MS, more practical!

That was what made me worry if I don't upgrade, who knows whether TMS will take revenge by purposely engage back the Mahajaya contractor to build those non-upgrade unit for them. then really jialat liao.

Added on March 30, 2011, 10:01 amBy looking at the reno cost nowadays, RM28K/RM50K really can't do much. For 2 storey u only sacrifice the tiny small balcony which i think it's a eye sore.

Boleh happen ya, closing door operation, who knows wat will developer do.
Anyway, congrates to both of you, Huatlah!!

So you didn't opt for the upgrade?
I was not so keen of the club house too... used to stay in condo but seldom use the facility. But getting old already so maybe this will force me to 'exercise' a bit lor.
Btw, have you sign the latest SPA with the license and advertisement number included? And your unit is?

mine 3-storey fr TMS

i also take the upgrade plan from MS too (DSL).

i just wonder where is the extra build up area compare to original MHJY layout.

MS layout 2488 sq ft; MHJY layout 2280 sq ft.

i know the master bedroom has 2 changes, which moving to toilet to other location, but this also consider within the same build up area right?

another change is the extra built up at the windows there, but it doesn't look like extra 208 sq ft for me.

anyone can help to clarify the extra built up area 208 sq ft?
