Dear fellow buyers (and other interested parties),

Booked a 3SL on 28/4, for investment and/or retirement stay. Does that make me the latest buyer?

Actually it was by chance that I did so. I was eyeing Hillpark Homes Phase 2 after a visit to MAPEC in MVC (I dint even visit Nadayu's booth), and decided to take a drive to Kajang on saturday 27/4 - an area I was envying my pals from KL who had bought earlier, e.g. TTDI Grove, which I could have bought at launch but was committed elsewhere and anyway felt 480k was pretty high for Kajang DSL (sic). Even a pal who bought a subsale semidee in Semenyih was telling me last month how much his house had appreciated in 1.5 years.

The MKH exec made reference to Nadayu92, which I sensed (hehe) was positive, and I vaguely remembered Nadayu Melawati's very lovely newspaper ad (2 years ago?) but which was very unaffordable to me, so I decided to drop by N92 before proceeding to HH. Was bowled over at first sight with the resort feeling and the showhouse is very well designed. Just lurv the thoughtful layout, courtyard, skylight and balconies - so bright and airy! Beyond expectations really. Just a good feel, u know what I mean? Wendy was kind enuf - said to go and see HH first (she just mentioned the factories at the entrance), and hoped to see me again after that. Anyway, N92 was about 2x the price of HH so, off I went... The drive through the enchanted forest was promising, but after that it felt awfully different. P4/6 is bumpy and potholed, with fairly quiet factories (maybe Saturday afternoon?). Have to say I am disappointed with the type of factories I saw. Seemed older type and low to medium-end to me. I was expecting some HiTech multinationals (okey, a few at least). I mean, with a name like "Bandar Technology Kajang" - false advertising or what? lol. Did I miss any big names? HH seemed not too bad (strictly for the money about 380k), though very clearly not in the same league as N92 in most aspects - conceptually, design, quality, etc. The location of the staircase right in front of the main door is offputting, feng shui or not...but I was almost ready to forgive the shortcomings of HH (after all, can buy two HH with one N92 mah! And a bit desperate and kiasu, being left behind by my pals hehe). However, upon leaving the HH main entrance, I decided to drive along Jln Bdr Technology-towards LEKAS. Was quite shocked to see many small factories under construction, and 15 units soon to be built right beside the HH entrance Plaque. Meaning, to get to HH, have to see factories left, right and center, so to speak? And going out towards Jln Semenyih, plenty of workshops/ link industrial lots. I read somewhere on this blog that many units are not occupied, especially those not along JBT i.e. back rows. The shophouses are also a bit old, with no 'exciting' tenants. Don't expect Starbucks here at all, but maybe Old Town lor. Sorry if I offend anyone by using KL standards here, I really don't know the shophouse market in Kajang. Overall (and personally), I dint like the predominantly industrial kind of environment. Ok, enuf oredi for me!

Too late to detour to N92, so went back to KL via LEKAS/Cheras-Kajang Hiway. Why is this Hiway from BTK to Saujana Impian Exit having so much traffic on Saturdy after 4.30pm? Is this normal or not?

Did some arithmetic at home - HH 20x65 (1300sf b/u 1447 sf) vs N92 25x75 (1875sf b/u 3838sf). Plus N92 is proper G&G strata title, meaning we own our individual lot and also share ownership of common facilities too right? And N92 superior in other aspects mentioned above. N92 is actually worth more than 2x HH on psf basis. No comparison.

So, next morning went back to N92. I chose a unit on the last row, back to K2, facing south, not near Persiaran Nadayu, but also not too near the TNB room at the right end. It was either this row or the superlong land units with their back gardens to Persiaran Nadayu.

After a visit to K2 on Labour Day (really getting to know KL to Kajang hiways lol), I see that they have a proposal to build a link road along the northern border of N92 towards BTK. MKH SA says this is future proposed plan only, and anyway not in next few years until more phases are launched. I hope they don't do this or make it a big road as I wouldn't really like this behind my house (though the major rooms and living areas are all in front and will not be affected in any way). They should have proper buffers and distance, trees, etc before any road, but this will not mitigate completely. Reading the thread here, I suppose K2, N92 and Dijaya will all have to come to agreement on where the link actually connects to each development. If it infringes on the interests of others, surely owners in N92 would have a right to give their views/objections, especially those on the last row (if that is the location of the link road), no? Also, would't it make more sense to connect K2 via Persiaran Nadayu, which is already built? Wouldn't a greedy developer want to build more houses than roads lol...

I was pondering to change to the houses with back garden to Persiaran Nadayu. After much thought I decided not to. Main reasons 1) east-west orientation 2) irregular shaped land with long back garden - not much use imho if cannot extend the house or build structures. Only use as garden. And somemore facing west and road which is not that attractive for this purpose either. My view - not worth the extra bucks. 3) the houses located here will experience some traffic effects at the back (albeit not heavy traffic now). 4) The proposed link road in K2 is just that - a proposal. Who knows when and in what location it will materialise?

So I decided to stay put. Glad to hear any views from you guys, cos can still change ma, tho I am quite happy now..

BTW, it's very nice to see how enthusiastic you guys are about N92. That's why I joined this blog. Sure there are some drawbacks, like HTC (350m not that near, and partially hidden, I think most people are ok with that), access via tunnel (which can flood huh!), but you guys always look further ahead to the solutions. The beauty, the potential and the pricing of N92 is just too good to miss, that's why I booked!

Sorry for this long first piece. Nxt time will use more shorthand. lol..

My sentiments too...

How is this even possible? We are buying into a prestigious development by a reputable listed company. Surprised that they dint take care of this well ahead of completion date of early launches.

Will certainly also speak to Wendy about it.

Bro,

Not to worry about this. I had the same concerns as you. It seemed rather odd that buyers of the homes at the semidee side should have to face such additional logistical and security issues. Having checked with Wendy and with Michelle Ong in HQ, I was assured that Nadayu has decided to keep the gates between the 2 sides open at all times. 1Nadayu92 lah!

Sound like u r staying there now? how cool...
If not mistaken, you have a unit Type A, which is the last row? (and of course, a semidee)

If you have a Type A unit, then it is at the last row? I just bought a Type I Superlink on the semidee side, which is also on the last row.

Reason why I am kaypo about this is cos there is a proposal for a dual carriageway linking K2 to Tropicana, which runs immediately behind more or less the entire northern border of N92. U can see this in one of your pics posted here. So whilst I am very excited along with all of you and looking forward to the improved accessibility to N92, just had a bit of concern about this road running behind our houses. I would like to share Michelle Ong of Nadayu HQ's reply to my enquiry, for the benefit of N92 houseowners:

Quote

" We have checked on the buffer which is, from the information we received till date, is approximately:

· Within our boundary - 25 feet of buffer (* for Type I* - my italics), which we will suggest to have sound barrier along the boundary with us (subject to authority approval).

· On other parties land –

o according to MPKJ, 132 feet wide is the provision for the proposed road on other parties’ land and it is proposed to be a 4 lane dual carriageway.

o Base on general guideline for the width per lane of 12feet, 4 lanes will make up of approx. 48 feet.

o There is normally a road shoulder at both sides of the carriageway, estimated to be 37feet each from general understanding.

· In a nutshell, the estimated buffer will be 25feet (our land) + 37feet (other parties’ land)

However, kindly take note that the development plans and public infrastructure upgrade are approved by the authorities base on allowable guidelines, we have no control over anything that does not sit within our boundary and the plans are yet to be finalized by the authority at this juncture."
Unquote

So, apparently there is no formal channel for us N92 homeowners to provide our feedback and/or concerns, if any, to this proposed road as it is being built outside our lands and furthermore, it is (or should be) constructed in accordance with established guidelines.

Nevertheless. I believe we can still give our feedback, whether solicited or not... free country mah As we monitor progress on the road project, we can also give suggestions to further improve our environment, in addition to the developer's proposed sound barrier, e.g. planting of trees/hedges within N92 boundary if feasible and also in MBKJ's buffer zone, beside the road (which hopefully should be the norm!)

Views/Opinions/Suggestions?

Heard (from N92 sales staff, so take it with a pinch of salt? hehe) that Tropicana planning to launch at RM400 psf (built-up) end of year? Wah, almost double N92. Possible?

Nice pics. Thanks folks.

So much going on around N92, yet very bad phone n internet service. Is it only Streamyx we will be getting (No Unifi?). What about Maxis Wireless, Astro IPTV, etc?

Thanks very much mate!

Yea.. I will request Nadayu to also plant trees like in your pic (tho these were probably naturally grown and not by design!) as the land width of 25 feet seems to be sufficient. Or not to remove existing tress if any left - I have not gone round to the back to see. The trees together with the sound barrier will provide a decent buffer of about thirty feet high. Would love to have greenery like this at the back of my house . I don't really fancy the bamboo they have planted in N92. It's more decorative than functional.

sorry friend

Just wanna be sure which units on the last row are still available. I know there are 15 lots on that row. For intermediate unit, is it the 2nd or 3rd house from right, including the corner lot? Trying to persuade my bro to join me . The corner available is the last house on the left, right?

thanks

thank you. so that's about 50+ feet from TNB substation...wonder if advisable to take that, due to possible radiation effects? a plus would be quite airy as it is near the end of the row

Also the current available is far away to amenities and using another entrance

[/quote

fyi, the gates at the fencing between the 2 sides to remain open, per Nadayu management. so that helps a lot

hahaha... no they dont need to do that now, cos semidee side not inhabited.

you weren't thinking of the "residents" from the condo across the road, were you? just kidding...

My view is that by spending on the homes we buy rather than on the external environment, N92 may turn out the smarter, and will also have done the buyers a good turn. Cos now there are 3 big boys in this area, who can together make the surroundings much more attractive, at lower cost by sharing. It is already happening as can be seen by the upcoming new access, which cost will be allocated to them by MBKJ, as I am informed by Nadayu management. The cost of this will inevitably be passed down to the end buyers. So you should be very happy if you have already bought into N92 - other things being equal, you are getting bigger homes at lower prices compared to Jade Hills.

To repeat what bro Amint and others have said, buy for the future - it is almost here! Expect new launches in N92 to incorporate the allocated cost of the new access road and any other improvements. On this basis, don't hesitate if you are keen as only a few lots remain!

Disclosure of Interest: I am a buyer, but not a Nadayu staff.

I sent an email to Nadayu HQ yesterday together with pics (courtesy of ctyyc @ Jun 18 2013, 11:59 AM), suggesting a similar concept for the northern boundary, and got a prompt thank you reply, advising that they wll look into the feasibility accordingly.

Appreciate their responsiveness

Now we just have to wait and see...

For your information. Chairman says Nadayu92 terrace houses are almost sold out, which you already know..

Just curious, anyone know the significance of the various numbers they use for their projects - Nadayu92, Nadayu28, Nadayu290, Nadayu99? Feng Shui or what?

u so naughty..in Vietnam hehe

Nadayu28 cud be feng shui..no idea about the rest

so boring explanation..thanks

I think people's opinions are shaped by their different needs, risk profile, objectives, time horizon, et al, so it is impossible to arrive at a conclusion that everyone can agree on. I am prepared to accept that Jade Hills is lovely too, and I have heard some good things about it. But I agree that Siakap5's very definite conclusion needs further explaining.

Hei, is N92 is really worth RM280 psf now based on built-up? I just bought Type I @ RM205 psf. So without any further appreciation, we can look forward to a 37% gain in 1.5 years time? Wowee, that is hard to beat!

Sorry, can someone briefly explain why there is a late payment charge? Thank you

I know what is late payment charge.

But it seems to be a widespread problem here. Was it becos lawyer or bank delay? I have to assume most buyers here are able to settle progress claims in time!

I oso wanna know in case it is the same bank and lawyer I will be using for my buy.

Thanks
