electricity wise, mine's residential rate, they made it clear upon purchase

Good to know that this can happen on a case by case basis. Guess this needs to be clarified upfront before committing to purchase. Thanks for sharing

who told u? got confirmed with TnB?

developer and condo management...
my tenant compared with another friend whose living in a residential condo, rates are the same

so no b&w... one day they realise and charge u back with interest ...

not sure if its stated in S&P or any formal doc, should bother me much since i'm not staying there...
but good point... i'd better find the docs for reference

hi want check is service aparment
is the rate for commercial higher or can convert to residential for the following?
•utilities – TNB, JBA, Indah Water and telephone
•Assessment (twice a year)
•Quit rent (annually)
anyone have some info to share?

The rate is damn high... Next year hike will make it worse...
Anyone know if the commercial rate can convert to residential...since most of the apartment is under commercial title these days....

hi all,

can anyone help me on how to identify commercial title vs residential title? how do I check and ensure my property is residential title before I buy it?
thanks.

I just read this:
"Commercial Title is not covered by housing Act. You can't sue the developer if anything goes wrong. "
i read it from this blog

Is this true? Can someone clarify?

This is what I call "know abit only but he think he know it all"

if im mistaken, service apartment is covered by hda since 2009 I think. SOHO, SOFO and all those other SO im not sure

^^^^

Any1 have any answer to this? I have been searching for any info on this for over a week. As the property is under construction, how to know this rates? My SA said its based on residential, but I dont want to rely on his word only without b/w. I dont think these stuff are stated in snp. Do pejabat tanah, TNB, syabas/indah water have info on this for properties under construction?

Depends on the developer. When you buy a SOHO, if u sign SPA with Schedule G / Schedule H. They are protected under HDA smile.gif

its 2007.. SOHO yes.. other than that (SOXO) no..

Hi,

Anyone could share with me in terms of the different in loan for commercial title property?

What are the major difference between the residential title property loan? Any specific things that I need to take note on the loan for commercial property?

Hope to get more feedback on this. Thank you in advance.

Have anyone get answer for above question? Would be good if can share it out...

I once remember a LYN forumer did mentioned that as long as the project is under HDA Schedule H, it is confirmed that residential rate will apply despite the commercial title. However, he did not specify what are the reason so.

The Schedule H does not provide much clue that support his statement thou. A Gray area perhaps?

Come and share your thought on this interesting topic

Spoken with a Property Sales Team Leader for Kepong 5/ Kepong Square..

She mentioned that as long as the high rise are under HDA protection, utilities rate will be under residential automatically despite the commercial title.

She suggest that i check with TNB and Syabas to confirm her statement which she confidently vouch that it is true.

if i remember correct,

The utility bill can convert to residence,
but all residence have to sign a letter to apply for that,
content like verify that the unit is for residence use.
then TNB and syabas will convert to residence rate.
