Update for those that have yet to sign the s&p (purchased from Mahajaya).

I have read the s&p and the contract (service for security, etc) and it is almost 99% identical to the original signed with Mahajaya. The only differences are

1. The parties (MS, MH and you)
2. Price (if you decided to take the upgrade package and want to incorporate into your loan)
3. Layout (if you decided to take the upgrade package)
4. Schedule 4 (It's for the breakdown of the payment, again if you decide to take upgrade package)
5. Also, when I compare the number of aircon point, lighting point, fan point, etc, there's significant differences... E.g. MH's s&p mentioned 6 aircon point but MS's only 4.
6. Lastly, most important - the completion date will now shift accordingly to the new s&p. This mean we are going to get our property 5 months late - for this you can request for an undertaking letter from MS saying you want it ready according to the earlier s&p but there're many concerns on this.

I personally have not sign yet but when I was there, 4 families signed and all 4 took the upgrade package.
Also, I went to Melody to take a look... damn the workmanship is good but the layout wasn't that pratical especially for 26X70 type (the rooms are so small). Subsales going from RM750k now... bloody expensive.

Im also a buyer of a 2 storey.. I my opinion the additional amount of RM28K is way above my budget... Im buying for own stay.. In 1 1/2 to 2 years time i need to think about furnishing and others which easily reaches RM100K... Therefore i would rather stick to the old one...

Given a choice i also wont take the upgrade package as bulk of it goes to the club house which wont be completed until the next semi-d phase... Furthermore the clubhouse is not a necessity for me... Instead its more of an additional burden in the future due to monthly fees...

This is just my opinion...

Huh? sure boh? bedroom or bathroom? So, have you decided to upgrade?

why masted bedroom need tiles?

and i read the upgrade specification, macam no word which mention about master bedroom has tiles?
master washroom sure have i know....
please correct me if wrongly, the paper is not in my hand now.....

not yet-lah. s&p signing tentative mar or apr 2011. you pay stamp duty thereafter-lah.

The revised floor plan has been released a few months ago. Heard from the lawyer those opt not to upgrade will have a similar facade but different layout internally.

Last week just signed the deed of mutual agreement that according to the lawyer this is the format that conformed to MS standard.

No, not yet. You bought from MS or Mahajaya?

dun worry for own stay also can enjoy...

there is sth call re-financing ...so take out more cash...

to buy other thing...
lol

owners who accept the upgrade plan from MS:

have you pay the upgrade fee? 10% (90% put into the loan)

i kasi a cheque to that stupid lawyer since oct 2010 when i sign the loan agreement, but already 6 months, the cheque still not yet bank-in (title is Grand Prestige Development).

keep calling to lawyer firm, always say the lawyer not in the office, and said don have the mobile number when i ask for...

@#$@#$@#$

Have u all look at the new Deed of Mutual Covenants (DMC)?? No rite so u all listen here.. I have a copy and im against alot of things.

Firstly your Centrax System will incur monthly rental charges, call charges and maintenance charges which are not given the breakdown.

Secondly, u will also incur sinking fund, administrative funds and others.

Thirdly, any renovation works you will have to pay a deposit to MS.

This applies for all mahajaya purchasers, upgrade and non-upgrade 2 and 2 1/2 storey which i know consist of more than 50% of the overall buyers.

And furthermore, the 2 storey upgrade package building plans have been changed. No more additional built-up.. U will just get a balcony.

From the way the DMC is worded, its clearly a disadvantage to us. For ur info according to MS the DMC is standard for all new and old buyers even for the Semi-D and Bungalow.

So dont be so happy for those new MS buyers. They can anytime go against their word as it is not written in Black and White. According to MS it is standard clause.

Just imagine how ridiculous it will be if security + club house + sinking fund and adminstrative funds comes up to RM400 - RM500 a month for just a 2 sty.

mrkenjiro,

I went last Sunday, and the lawyer wants me to sign 3 things..

- The building plans and schedule of the SPA.
- DMC
- MOT

I have checked with the lawyer on the DMC which is worded to our disadvantage, however, he insisted that we cant change anything. And there is no respond for MS about this. I have sent email to angela but no reply as at to date.

- Building plans approved are not the same as the earlier signed SPA.
- DMC changes to include sinking fund and other charges.

I dont understand what MS is doing as we purchasers of MH are left in the dark. And the lawyer is not helpful at all. Only acting for MS and not for us.

My advise to all of u is to check every pages of the new things to be signed as he wont tell anything unless asked. If dont agree, dont sign.

Earlier signed mentioned only RM150 a month and it is clearly stated that MS will bear the 1st 2 years. However, this time around is different. They word it in such a way that the are other charges even for the centrex system and furthermore the clause did not mentioned 1st 2 years bear by them instead it was written in the manner that we have to pay RM150 a month upon vacant possession.

This really sucks!!

Anyone with any banker's contact?

krgia10,

I got the letter a month ago I think.
Already called my bank and they are willing to 'wait' until early June. By then if no disbursement need to apply again...

endieyap,

Give up calling the lawyer. I've tried so many times and failed.

As of now, I was made to understand that the SPA was not stamped yet. Only after stamping then we can proceed with the Loan Agreement. Most likely I need to apply for loan again... bloody frustrating

The question is:

Can I know anyone of the 2 or 2.5 storeys already signed your loan agreement especially those that purchase from HM?
