developer still gt unsold units??

If still got developer units for non luxury condo...need to think twice before purchase

developer still gt unsold units??

This was what told by the agents claimed to represent the developer. I assume still unsold units cos all the agents advertising the same price. But can't confirm, that's why would like to check with developer but couldn't get their number.

i prefer villa makmur, low density, and no near to highway...changkat view too high dense and too near to highway..suffer..

where is the IJM project? got link for info?

i heard about the land belong to IJM since 2008... until today no development.

Thanks guys. Went to check out villa makmur..
Dont really like the fact that it is at the end of the road where the few apartments before it seem to have insufficient parking lots, hence all the cars parked all along the road..

Will need to do more survey now >.<

My friend went to see some of the units with the agent (marketing for the developer) . Prices now very high, quite risky coz others would hv bought at very very cheap price (heard RM180K for the smallest units @ 1100++ sq ft). the lowest floor (2nd floor) asking for RM350K (smallest units), every one floor higher add another RM5K. The developer has many many units left which some (with better views) they rented out, some are being marketed by appointed agents. One potential risk is, if the developer later on decides to sell cheap (touch wood, need cash) they can do that coz they own so many units there (selling at RM180K , developer still make profit).

If this is a hot property and at RM 180 K they had made their money and common sense tell me why I will let go at price lower than market rate ?

Yeah, I saw the others but i think i went from the other direction?
Cos i was on the road where solaris dutamas was on my right and kensington homes on my left and then we took a left turn after hartamas regency and another left where we passed changkat kiara, the angguns then only reached mesra terrace and villa makmur. So i was coming from the other direction right?

That means there's actually another way to villa makmur? Is that actually closer to the main road then? Sorry ya, really not famiiliar with the area at all

u r on the correct way, but afterpassby changkat kiara, u will see prima duta on ur left, then follow by prima ria, and changkat view, then menara duta on ur right, and menara duta 2 on ur left...then u can see villa makmur on ur left, then go further u will see mersa terrece on ur left, follw by duta ria on ur right and finally is anggun puri on ur right...

I thought there is only one way in and one way out? Are we referring to the same road? As I know villa makmur and mesra should be on your right, follow by duta ria and anggun puri on your left? 

ermmm....... haha.. let's start again...

when i went, mesra terrace and villa makmur were on my right, and i reached mesra terrace before reaching villa makmur..

means i was coming from another way??

hey, so you guys think this apartment can still buy kah?

need to find one near the solaris dutamas cos office moving there soon.

or do you guys have any better recommendations? at least this one is still within my budget.. others in dutamas the prices can be so high.

do you guys know now many units are there in villa makmur? cos bf prefers low density.

Thanks so much in advance!

Added on May 26, 2011, 2:04 pmoh ya, btw, i just saw a listing RM520k for a 1280sq ft unit = RM406 psf

Is this the prevailing price for it? Or should be lower? should contact the management instead?

If you look for new property, you can wait for the expected new launch at site opposite french international school. I think will be in couple of months.

1280 sqf unit for 15 floor oledy 503k, i think i will chose casa kiara 1 condo at mont kiara, size 1268 sqf, 2 cover carpark, and with mont kiara adress........this villa makmur quite overvalue themself...maybe for another 5 years, the price is make sense, but nt for now....
http://www.iproperty.com.my/propertylistin...ominium_ForSale

ya, a little higher than I thought.
the thing is people want new, bbb euphoria, developers become bold,
for own stay, i will also go for for older units in mk at about 400-450psf or <300psf in dutamasraya.
the thing about condo is once they are >5yrs old, they all start to look the same!!

nope, u will see villa makmur first then follow by mesra terrece, why u wan make it so confuse? there is big word 'villa makmur' state at the entrace there...

dun think villa makmur looks new, is only around 15 or 16 floor, looks like medium height apartment only....compare to other 10 years old condo such as duta ria, prima duta along jalan dumatas raya, villa makmur not looks like new at all...i will rather chose prima duta which i think is very well maintain and gt some water feature make it looks more grand...400k can get 1300++ unit at prima duta oledy

U guys mean villa makmur still got unsold unit? and the price selling is from developer?

Yesterday went to check dutamas area, along the road gt alot of condo..

Personally felt menara duta not bad from exterior...

I checked propwall describe about menara duta and seem like lot of issues.... and ....developer for menara duta ady bankrupt (based from propwall)

But 350k++  can get 1500sqf at Menara Duta...

However, passby villa makmur, i personally felt not bad based on exterior...But 450K+ seem lil bit exp than others condo at same road..

sorry if i confused you but i went there and i DID see mesra terrace then only saw villa makmur!
and most of the posts here said villa makmur first then mesra terrace.
thats why i said im confused too! >.<
so means there ARE two ways of getting there lah?

Sorry all, I wasn't active for so long in this thread...

I'm now staying at Villa Makmur. Let me share with you all why I bought this condo instead of Prima Duta / Menara Duta or other condo alongside of Jalan Dutamas Raya.

a) I prefer low density condo, Changkat view is good but very noisy & high density... it is located just beside the highway.

b) management is not bad.. no doubt the car park a bit cacat (water leaking), but overall other facilities are maintaining well.

c) Ya, the road in front of Villa Makmur is the widest road along Dutamas Raya, and I manage to exit my condo easily... cox it's not the end like anggun puri, have to stuck in traffic; neither on the opposite side where i need to make right turn...

d) location is strategic.. it can easily access to jln kuching, jln duta... i manage to reach office in KL within 20~30 minutes in the morning...

e) This condo is surrounding by a school, landed semi-D (mesra terrace), and in front of this condo is still empty - not sure what will it be, hope it's not another condo )... hence, i don't have anything to block my balcony view... my balcony is very windy...

f) as compared to Segambut Dalam, Jalan Dutamas Raya has plenty of roads to exit... that's why i chose Villa Makmur instead of Casa Kiara / Rosvilla

negative views:
a) management fees is a bit expensive compare to other condos nearby.... (but again it's due to low density,  no choice )

b) car park a bit cacat, water leakage problem... (until now also haven't resolved)

c) I agree that the condo has insufficient lights.... it looks a bit dark sometimes... >> i wonder why mgmt office is so kedekut..

d) lift design is lousy, no access control to the lift (access card or etc)... unlike Menjalara 18 (the lift is superb nice) / rosvilla (biometric devices - finger print access )

e) In the morning, i can hear the students singing negaraku... but not a big deal to me, the voice is soft and only appears once per day (weekdays only).. >>> i always use this as my natural alarm clock

f) It is still under master title.... not strata title...
Again, this condo is located at Segambut, not Mont Kiara / Solaris / Dutamas  ---> cox in fact, the condo's master title address is indeed Segambut address.... even though the ppl likes to use: Jalan Dutamas Raya, KL. (hide the word Segambut)

sad to hear that.... I was told by other ppl that IJM will build landed property instead of high rise condo....
let's wait and see

anyway, Verdana is bloody hell expensive!!!

a) management fees is a bit expensive compare to other condos nearby.... (but again it's due to low density,  no choice)

b) car park a bit cacat, water leakage problem... (until now also haven't resolved)

Hi Guys,

I have a quick question. My sister just bought a unit there and we just found out that there is no CF for this Condo. Is anyone aware of this?

Pls beware of this if your planing to purchase a unit here. No one mentioned this to my sister when she bought this place. We learnt it the hard way. We were told initially when we made the purchase that there was CF for this property. Totally mislead.

Anyone going thru the same problems. Let me know.

Thank you

Or get another choice which is sri putamas..

just to share my experience.

I purchased mine earlier this year and had no problem whatsoever getting loan.

Additionally, i've received nothing but really good help from the management when i was doing up my unit.

Complaints about my unit (touch ups etc) were attended to very efficiently. Not too sure why is everyone speculating things around here.

The place is extremely low density which makes it very comfortable for private owners like me to live there. Furthermore, there is very no middle eastern/african tenants - something which i truly appreciate as my previous condo (Riana Green) was filled with really obnoxious and rude mid eastern tenants.

Overall, this is really been a good place to live.

Hi all,

Here are the pro and cons of Villa Makmur Condominium IMHO.

PROS:
1) Low density condo
2) Good location for accessibility
CONS:
1) Poor management. Management take very long time to resolve issue even thought complaint form and follow ups have been done accordingly.
they have only 1 maintenance worker. what to do. save cost.
2) Facilities not properly maintained. Tennis courts have cracks and require resurfacing as well as change of netting. Swimming pools lights not properly lit up and not conveniently to swim at night. they ask u to inform the guard to on the lights if you want to use. if not how to save cost? Tiles is popping out as well and not being re-tiled and this might cause injury. that's why u seldom see ppl utilize the swimming pool Gym equipment required to be replaced by new ones. Most are not in proper working condition. those look like second hand machine?
3) High maintenance fees as compared to surrounding condos. This is not an issue if management maintained the condo in proper manner.
because low density
4) No access control in lift. Lift interior required refurbishment.
that's why they put some printed photo to beautify it
5) There is no CCTV for security guard to monitor 24 X 7. CCTV is available but stored in CCTV room for unknown reason. Most likely it is for viewing when incident happened.
for display purpose. so cant blame them for not having CCTV
6) There is no visitor gate for residents who park their vehicles outside out the condo. Residents should be provided resident card for security checking when exiting and entering the condo. At the moment, residents just enter and there is no checking from the security guard.
maybe they think their security guard can memorize every resident since "low density" ma
7) No shelter installed at the card detection sensor when entering main entrance. During rainy days, it is inconvenient for resident to access using the card.
no need worry, when rain the gate will auto open for you
8) Car park area for residents require repaint which display their car park unit number. Insufficient lighting at car park area as well.
save cost. Try going out in the morning around 5am to see their lightining (advise you to bring along your torch light)
9) Whenever there is rain, water will splash inside the corridor and walkway in each floor as window panel was not installed.
open concept ma
10) No strata title issued yet and under master title. There is no AGM for owner to voice their issues. Everything still managed by developer. No transparency of actions being carried out and status of account.
boss manage. just trust boss lo

so this place now have CF or not?

just to share my experience.

I purchased mine earlier this year and had no problem whatsoever getting loan.

Additionally, i've received nothing but really good help from the management when i was doing up my unit.

got CF no CF also nevermind la doomdoom. The thing is, they still manage to sell. Miracle? 

haha....i guess u been staying inside ur unit all this while......

there are middle east tenant staying here as well and most tenant here don't really care to take care in maintaining the condo.....

the facilities and management style of this condo is very obvious..u can see the difference in menara duta management...much more efficient....and i dunno when the developer going to finalize our strata title......developer seems like taking ages and keeping the master title for their own good.....can rake in more maintenance fees as long as possible .......

and continue giving free maintenance fees to units they slowly holding and sell

Mr projectowlchemy just done his defects. What can expect from him? Just give him some more time, then only he will find out more.

hi i'm a newbie here but i have been following this thread for quite some time. i just got my keys to villa makmur 2 days ago. so this is my 2 cents :

1) CF = a lot of ppl has been saying theres no cf n all, based on my understanding if no cf then loan won't get approved( correct me if i'm wrong). i managed to get my loan approved and i even asked my lawyer to check about it since i read in the thread that their temp CF expired. n my lawyer said no la everything is ok. they have a cf n he said if the cf expired then my loan won't get approved. plus they won't let people stay there if there is no cf.(again correct me if i'm wrong)

2) found out that the owner of the building is staying there as well,he and his mother based of news from one of the tenant and the guard. so ok la

3) the management is quite helpful to be honest. the person in charge is very friendly.

4) so far haven't seen any foreigners yet except for the guards.

5) seems like the developer is keeping their units n selling it bit by bit to make more money.

will update more from time to time.

oh yeah they just repainted the parking box.my car tires have yellow marks on them 

I suggest instead of listening to what ppl have to say, I suggest you speak to DBKL directly and you shall find out whether they have the CF or not. The agents for this apartment are scums and they never speak the truth. Check your sources.

ok i will when i go to dbkl to pay my assessment i will ask them about this
btw mine is 1124sf fully furnish i got it for 400k

ok i will when i go to dbkl to pay my assessment i will ask them about this
btw mine is 1124sf fully furnish i got it for 400k

Nope subsale

Developer already resolved the CF issue with DBKL....! 

Price would be increased by 10% by 2013....!
