QUOTE(cooolguy @ Apr 1 2011, 11:40 AM) I think the workmanship is OK. However, the quality of finishing materials is not on par with other Semi D developments in Klang Valley. It would be OK for a normal terrace house, but not for Semi Ds. You have to go take a look at their show unit, compare it with the finishes they use in the Clubhouse. For example, 1. Compare the cheap parquet strip flooring to the high quality timber stip used in their clubhouse gym room. 2. Compare the cheap brown color anodised window frame to the high quality powder coated window frame in their clubhouse. 3. The above are the 2 major items. Other minor items are such as the staircase ballustrade (staircase railing); no shower screen to the bathroom 2, 3 & 4; window handles and locks; etc. Some other forummers commented on the use of concrete-sand roof tiles & brick walls. Nowadays not all developers are using clay roof tiles and clay brick walls because of the high cost. Generally clay roof tiles and brick walls provide better heat insulation. It'd be good if they use the clay materials, but concrete-sand materials are still acceptable to me as long as the roof is properly insulated. I think you can make these comments to them prior to paying your booking fee. Perhaps they'll consider. thanks a lot for the headups dude. are you buying the semid as well?

QUOTE(cooolguy @ Apr 1 2011, 11:40 PM) Ask the Mah Sing sales for the contact of Lim Kar Sing, he is the mortgage sales rep from Maybank, he provides quite good service! As far as I know, only Maybank and CIMB offer DIBS. Did you make the comment about the low quality finishes to Mah Sing? Did they say anything? 1.5mil even or 1.5++mil? because I heard the last done price was 1.548mil? Did you get the row near the park or away from the park? Mind sharing the latest price of 2-storey & 3-storey Semi D and their availability? thanks bro for the info. yaa i bought at 1.54 its quite far from the park and at the upper left of semid. 30k discount. the row near park was still available my aunt booked another one near the park( the backyard has direct view of the park) and it's 20,000 more. forgot to fill in the feedback form and will do it when i next visit them anyways its just right opposite my house lol, walking distance. think the 2 storey semid is very homely in terms of its exterior but the 3 storey one has got very luxurious interior.

you guys know there's a fairly big piece of land in between the completed link houses and the semi d+club house, right infront of the construction workers shelter. i am actually staying in DU3 and spoke to a neighbor the other day there's a concern that it might turn out become a mosque because beside DU2 the low cost houses project is ongoing and i heard(unreliable sources) that a substantial amount of residence there will be malay. so the big piece of land infront of the completed link house and beside the catchment pond might be used by government to build a mosque.disclaimer: i am not raising racist issues here but any thoughts on this guys?

okies i know i am comparing a benz and a ferrari. haha chill people i was just too excited looking at the 3d walk through. agree with coolguy the car porch is very impractical anyone who can afford a 3.8mil property would most likely have more than 2 cars.

Guys, I am semi-d buyer, these are a few doubts I am having in mind now, please advise:
1. when is the actual date of signing S&P for SemiDs buyers? I was told the S&P is ready to sign this late June when we booked in early April, but after that they postponed to late Oct, saying they are having some obstacles with the land office. but to date, no news from them whatsoever.
2. As we know, the semi ds come with strata title. According to Housing Development(Control and Licensing)Regulations 1989 Regulation 11, the time for handing over of vacant possession is 36 months from the date of the S&P agreement(Schedule H). Thus, time start running from the date we sign S&P, not the date the booking fee was paid. Meaning the later we sign S&P, the more they can delay the project. Any thoughts on this guys?
3. Is it true that if we know change our mind the 50k booking fees will be fully refunded with 1k forfeiture?
4. I saw the white paint on all the show houses(except the newly built bungalows) is gradually fading away, and it's only been 6-8 months from the completion date. any idea what paint did they use and why are they not repainting at least the front porch to avoid putting off future purchasers?
5. Now the routes to KL from kinrara 6 are already very jammed in the morning.(one from Sirim shortcut and the other one through the tunnel to bukitjalil-puchong highway). Imagine all the houses in kinrara residence and Qaseh are fully occupied, how will be the traffic be? Any news about solutions to this problem?
6. anyone can give me mahsing email address which is still in use and responsive? I need an official reply from them thanks!
Thanks a lot guys for your kind opinion. (:

guys, just confirmed with one of the sales agent that the initially amended date of signing the S&P of the semids is postponed again. They couldn't make it to late October, promising November but i seriously doubt its credibility.

QUOTE(Antzfield @ Nov 8 2011, 11:33 PM) then you do have good discount then. speaking of MOT, need some advise from some sifu here, i heard, but not very sure, that under the developer / land /whatever Act, developer is suppose to complete the alienation of strata titles before the VP, and thus, MOT should be borne by the developer. any sifu here can spare some thought? if that is true, looks like we need to pressure TMS on this. It is not cheap on the MOT, can get a persona oh we booked it in Aug 2011. Added on November 8, 2011, 11:34 pmwhy is she withdrawing? not satisfied with the delay of S&P because the sales representative in mah sing didn't even take the initiative to contact her about the delay which they have earlier promised on.

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!

Guys, there's a mamak called Restoran Shaib or the Kafe Kampung Chili at the shop lots of Taman Damai Utama if you guys are looking for a get together breakfast.
What I suggest is we hand in a memorandum to MS, collectively bring their attention to the following matters:
Issue 1:The late signing of S&P for the Palmiera purchasers. For my case, the sales representatives promised to let us sign the SP agreement in June but it was later deferred to October, November and the status now is unknown. None of the occasions had any MS's staff taken the initiative to contact us, despite being told by us to keep us posted.
Due to the above said matter, we are collectively asking for: (1) better/wider timber floorings (2) better quality doors as compared to the current one (3) Window/living room glass to be upgraded to better quality (4) please advise..
Issue 2: any issue with the link houses buyer? for instance the brick or the terms and conditions in the S&P? please advise..
Issue 3: personally think that the facilities in the clubhouse are insufficient to cater to nearly 800 units of residences. Suggesting a sauna room and a steam room to be built. Need more advices on this as well
Issue 4: General questions such as: Contour of KR,put forward by Covillea. Please advise.
Those who are with us will then sign on the memorandum and we'll hand it to MS and urge for their reply.
This weekends I am free but not next week.will be going down to Singapore by then. Anyone up for this saturday morning as suggested by Covillea?
For those who can't make it but still wish to join us, no worries we can still put your name/booking reference inside the memorandum.
Any other suggestions? can't wait to meet you guys! (:
