To the buyers of Halo/Sunday units,

I visited the Advice Centre of HBA on Saturday afternoon, together with another buyer. We explained the situation we were in, in terms of the late payment interest charged by the developer and inability to move into our unit yet bcos no CCC. Their advice was two fold.

Firstly with regards to the late payment interest, we need to individually write to the Loan Agreement lawyers and ask them for a sequence of events from the day we applied for the loan up to the finalization of the loan agreement. Based on the sequence of events, we can then ascertain the cause of the delay in finalizing the loan agreement. If delay is on the part of the developer, the we can request to reverse this charge. Having said that, my personal advise is to pay up everything first to enable getting the keys to your unit and inspect ASAP so that you can list out all defects for developer to rectify - this is important because the DLP is only 6 months!

As for the CCC issuance, basically the developer's architect is responsible for submitting the relevant forms to MBPJ. Once MBPJ is satisfied that all is in order, MBPJ will give a "tiada halangan" letter to the Architect who will then issue the CCC. So, the crucial matter here is to see how we can expedite this process. To do this, we should use the ADUN for this area to call for a meeting with MBPJ, Developer, Developer's Architect and us buyers to get some clarity on this process. MBPJ doesn't want to be accused of delaying the process as it is bad publicity for them, likewise for the architect.

For this meeting to be called for, we have to get at least 10 buyers together. Please PM me if you are a buyer and once we have enough of us, we can meet soon to take this matter further.
