they gonna start new project soon at sri rampai again. but psf price is rm400-420++ up

Do u know about their project villawangsamas? Their building workmanship is very- very damn poor the building facade ALL building are full with CRACK !! Anyone know about the history of this company/ developer? Any comment on this condo value?

Ya i agreed tat d workmanship is really bad. Cracking everywhere and feel unsecure to live. Rental yield is quite alright, friend of mine bought a subsale unit 4 months ago at 350k tenanted at 1.7 p/m. Anyhow, i not opt for it....just my 2cents.

Boss from rm230k at launch compared to present price, dont think they complain much
Didn't know about the bad workmanship thingy

i agree wholeheartedly about this. the crack is very large and visible from outside view to the condos but that is considered small issue. you should see the cracks inside some of the units!! absolutely scary. that's the reason why you can see the occupancy rate of villawangsamas is quite terrible compared to the surrounding high rises.

everytime i passby (from wangsa walk yo NKVE) sure saw the big cracckk....

So visible the crack?

Of course...its visible... at the first place.. i tot they is like wall design but look carefully its crack...go and hang around then u will notice especially the way from rampai court toward Wangsa walk...

but second phase i dunno lah.. what's the price look like... lease or freehold?

FH. if you lazy, see outside is enough to scare. if you daring a bit, call up the agents and go INSIDE the units and see. that one really will scare

But the tenant there no complaints? or they cant do anythings... i never went inside before but i always passby that area.. becos the building cannot attract me... but interested on their phase 2 project...maybe got improvement?

sometimes pass by at nite, no wonder can't see

I will post picture , u can jugde how horrible it is you can see it from kilometer far ...

haha. well indeed they make mistake when using chemical that dry fast on the concrete.

but i already see the new project layout.. should be no more same problem.. coz will be glassy type.. mostly glass apprearance..

but pricing wise for leasehold land is quite steep

Setapak heights s/b subsidary of GCB. Tmn Esplanade is one the project by GCB, founder tan sri low keng huat.

Yes alot of complaints about this project ie security, building cracks, leaking. They have just changed a new security co.

yeah i think the crack is actually the developer "signature"

second phase also same they never learn CRACK every where from level 1 to pent house

it is freehold price 230k onward but now market price 300K above

market price and rental is good is because of foreigner demand and location

BTW im the residence here

Added on April 15, 2011, 8:01 pmmistake once OK acceptable BUT repeated mistake is totally CANNOT BE TOLERATE AND THIS DEVELOPER IS STOOPID

villawangsamas also same project layout with many glass type infact 2nd bedroom 1of the wall was fully glass top to bottom.


how people gonna trust this developer by looking at their villawangsamas CRACK condo project located beside their new Project.

I"m an owner there

The cracks look worse because of the way they were repaired then cheap waterdown paint was used to cover it. The paint as faded the lines you see are the sealent.

I like the location and unit however the developer is lying piece of shit (legal letters welcome) and has failed to deliver on many occasions. In time Villa Wangsamas will be repainted and it will look nice.

The developer must be stupid becuase unless they resolve the outstanding issues and release the large sums of money owned to the JMB then there will will be protests by the residents.

How can they sell anaother development if we hang banners fcrom our ones warning people or park trucks with banners outside their showhouse?

The mainstream and social media will also be used.

No it is not true that the occupancy rate is terrible as I live there. You can see that it is almost full. It is quite difficult to get an empty unit. Rental sometimes have waiting list. Every now and then property agents keep asking if we want to rent our unit as there are many Middle Easterns and Koreans who like Villa Wangsamas. Ya the main problem is the condo's cracks which is an eyesore. Riana Green next door is the condo with poor occupancy rate - as it super expensive for a sub-urban condo.

buy a property from this developer and you WILL regret 100%!! Cracked building with waters sip in to some of the units during heavy rain...they did not honour the warranty period and worse, hired the lousiest security company (There was a time when condo units get broken into every month!!)
Setapak Heights Development gave lots of promises (as you can see in their advertisement board) and delivered crap to us!!!

How the certain parts of the condo look wrose than DBKL flats!! If you don't believe, just drop by at the "condo" for a visit and you'll know what we mean.

Yes agree.

they should just make "crack design" for their future project so if crack, also can call it as design.

Sorry for the owner. Its a joke obviously.

Thanks for sharing the info

I saw this kind of crack at prima setapak II also maybe i should take the photo during this weekends and attached let u guys compare.

Cracking in Prima Setapak is common for condos infact.

In contrast, Villawangsamas is at critical. Through d cracking line, u k c outside world when u stand behind d wall....its terify

In the case of Villa Wangsamas condo, residents or buyers has been cheated big time by Setapak Heights Development Sdn Bhd. During the buying process, Setapak Heights Sales people said and showed a lot of good things for VW. I would that the Sales ppl was there just to sell what is printed on the brouchures. They are not even sure of the outcome after construction. Setapak Heights did not honored their promise. Setapak Heights provided the residents with sub-standard facilities, employed selfish Management Office to manage us from Year 2008-2010, stubborn, stupid and arrogant security company by the name of Active Network Security Services Sdn Bhd (company reg 798886-M) that caused illegal parking in VW and numerous break-ins throughout the 2 years (yr 2008-2010).
The three parties ie the developer-Setapak Heights Development Sdn Bhd, the Mgmt Office-Villa Wangsamas Management Sdn Bhd (this company will change name soon) and the Security company-Active Network Securities Sdn Bhd are not to be trusted. Anyone with useful information, please expose them to prevent them from causing hardship to others.

Added on May 12, 2011, 11:30 amDo you have details on the new project launching? I believed VW residents would like to take action to ensure no one will not be cheated by Setapak Heights Development Sdn Bhd or whatever subsidiary or related company who will manage the project.

yes please, appreciate it.

let people know they are making profit by cheating people money using low quality material!!! [SIZE=14]

anyone have any idea or solution or best channel to complaint please advise us

as a matter of fact, i was speaking to an agent today about villawangsamas..and i asked him about the so called "cracks" - he said they are actually
not a structural crack rather poor paint material or something to that effect...

come to villawangsamas and see it your self

even it is not a structural crack but it still CRACK and why cant they solve it even by panting it over again i saw they have paint it few time on same wall but still the crack appeared.

am not defending the developer or anyone for that matter.....am just saying that the agent said is not structural ..that is all..it is MOST important to know that the safety of the building is not compromised. If it is, then the authority should be alerted so that they give the developer a nice kick in the rear to get them to recify the problem...

Ei halo how can a lousy paint related to cracks?

Cracks are cracks it can't be fixed easily. There must be some problem with the whole building wall. Lousy material plus poor workmanship.

ei halo to you too am quoting what the agent said...not pretending to be a smart aleck when ihave not even seen it myself..nor am i qualified to say what is the actual problem

You can listen what ppl told u but pls think whether logic. And most important believe your own eyes

the location is Great... but development by this developer ... waste

Yes the location is great,
let world know how stupid this developer are and how they cheating people money .

agreed. the unit i saw had this same exact issue. if you focus on the crack, you can actually see the other side contents. if that is not structural or critical crack, i don't know what is

agreed, location is good. Near to DUKE highway and carrefour. But developer sucks unfortunately!!
anyone here in the forum who bought this condo (now aka DBKL flat) as well?

any future happening will happen at road side land?? mayb another festival mall?

I live in Sri Rampai Terrace and everytime i passes by to go to Carrefour, I would comment and tell my frens, "Wahlau eh, look at those cracks. Even after reworking, the cracks are still visible from 500meters.............sure hard to sell already one"

Pity those buyers there.........I think Platinum Victory is a better buy as i dont see cracks

The good points of staying in VW are:
-5mins drive to enter DUKE
-5mins drive to Carrefour, Wangsa Walk and Sri Rampai LRT station
-7km to KLCC
-Weather is quite cooling most of the time. My unit is facing the pool.
-Car park building is huge
-Landscaping is nice
-Still has a lot of green surrounding

For your info the management and developer(setapak height) still cant or refuse to handover the monthly utility account to current JMB

many excuses being given to residence

even the owner of the company Dato Macro refuse to meet us, he have given us a lot excuses not to meet us!!!! overseas bla,bla,bla....

residence here will start complain to relevant authorities DBKL, kemeterian perumahan etc...


BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY CALL SETAPAK HEIGHTS SDN BHD!!!!

will update all forumer

share another one

For this one, last time Magna Park project still quite ok. Like Vista Magna, which nearby Kepong Jusco there... Just after change their CEO... Then quality...

yes altishonda...Let's pay a visit during the launch and "say hi" to the potential buyer

YES!!

OMG. Same crack happen to villawangsamas phase II condominium?

yes same crack.

Your friend kena which one? villawangsamas?

My family are looking at getting a place in W.Maju to be near to my in-laws and saw VW which is around our budget. Then came and read this thread.. zomg.

How's the place now for those staying there? Is the management doing a better job?

I see the same with Tamarind by YTL in Sentul 2 years ago..............but have to say they did a wonderfull job covering the cracks everytime they appear........

how do they covered it? any idea?

what happen now?

The MO came in Jan 2010 and is trying their best in doing their job. The JMC meanwhile is working together with residents and MO to try and improve the situation. Certain things such as the look-like-crack require the developer to do and Setapak Heights is not showing their cooperation. This are few more areas that Setapak Heights is not helpful and cooperative. This is the reasons we hated this developer.
Otherwise, VW is a nice place to stay. Just 7km from KLCC and 8minutes to reach Sri Hartamas using DUKE.

The cracks said it all.

thanks all for raising this issue.thank god i search around the forum about villa wangsamas,to think that i almost buy this piece of shyte for 360k,damn...

This post has been edited by backspace66: Aug 15 2011, 07:39 AM

woah! was considering this and PV13, 3 years ago. Lucky I didnt take VW because I dont quite like the diamond shape living room

the cracks can be seen like miles away

terrible workmanship

ya..asked my architect friend and he said its due to poor workmanship but not structural problem..

poor quality paint was used and not allowing the base to dry before putting on the additional layer so in the end ada pattern pattern
that look like crack..so stupid managment just need to spend $$ and use some good paint and do a thorough repainting..

finally the developer is doing some rectification but at a damn slow pace.....still they'll watch out when they launch their new "condo"..

if they ada smart, they will do the rectification ie repainting BEFORE they launch their new project - otherwise for sure this will be bad publicity for them..!

Well..damage is done..Setapak heights watch out

my friend's mom owns a construction material provider company. she told me that the developer memang busuk in construction industry. what happens was the developer wants to save money on workmanship and decided to built it themselves instead. moreover, the developer is inexperience in constructing a building.

anyhow, i saw in iproperty that vm is selling at 350k. then it should be appreciating.

another developer to watch out is sri melingger. i almost bought their project in beverly II near desa park city. very nice location. i ask my firned's father (who is an accountant in a developer company) and found that this company owes damn a lot of money and they use ciplak materials, sell the the unit at very high price in order to earn fast money to pay debt. close to 300k for a less than 800sf unit.

for owners -watch out for this "handyman/conman" staying in the same condo by the name of muhamed ..(Pakistani)= according to my fren who used him
recently for some small repairs after her tenants moved out , she hired him based on recommendation of agent who said he is "reliable"..In the end turn out to be a nightmare.

for eg..he will say, that he will fix the lamp for free since its a small job as the whole quote for the entire unit came up to a few thousand dollars, but after that will charge some stupid high amount. When my gf tried to dispute the amount , he started to raise his voice. Said that he will give "warranty "but after the work was supposed done and the same problem recur a few days later, he will refuse to rectify unless pay extra and when asked , what about the warranty you promised..he said, oh warranty cancelled!

he also bought stuff that were not authorised and then demand payment for it..of cuz at a high price..

He said like oh..am here 24 hours you can call me anytime...i give good service..my cleaning maids from Philippines ..very good one..blah blah blah..but in the end the so called good maids will only clean places that they can reach..for eg windows..so you can see, top part still dirty .

Watch out for this joker!

after opening this thread i have been fighthing with the developer every week . Taking my annual leave ,I went from the developer , lawyer office to every related govt office to complaint alone.

Ended i meet DBKL officer who is incharge of issuing CF for w.maju area,

Result from there the developer start doing the rectification work start from my block.

It has been almost a year BUT the crack is still there and the developer given so much excuse to complete the repair and the good material promise to to repair it only use at earlier rectification.

Honestly i have fedup to go and compalint again , everyday i been reading the complain and they wanted to go to TV3 ,COB , kpkt lah from owner at villawangsamas thru my email and community forum BUT no one have taken innitiative to actually do it only few did it.

If all the owner at villawangsamas comunity go to Dbkl or cob to voice it, i strongly belive it can be done other than only few or 1 person face them.

Unless the owner actully love and enjoy the crack design on the their wall ?

Yes. I am totally agree with you. People are so selfish and they juz wait for someone to be bad guy and they juz wait and see.

Sometimes Malaysian attitude is really tidak apa. They juz only care abt themselves.

hhmmmm, nasib baiklah tak beli for a property that is costing rm350K....aduh, else there goes the money. you know what, you guys should go and tell all out in the new launch of the developer new project....tell you all, confirmlah sama pattern one

I heard the lifts are super crap.....
dirty....smelly...and got vandalism ...
very scary.....

i think not that bad..i went to view a unit in one block nearest to guard house and the lifts were ok..it was very windy when i was there..
surroundings were ok, well kept ..

some parts need repainting though

refer 1st page letter from DBKL attached

He is old already, inherit to the lousy son did not learn from his father. He is an accountant not a builder. Accountant sure calculate how to get more profit instead of quality. They don know paying less to the contractor sure get less quality.

This developer has another company called Wangsa Land SB, the project named called Alpha Villa Apartment. also has the same problem like VM. cheap quality, extremely poor workmanship, cracks every where......
besides, u will get high blood pressure when u deal with them. also, they cheated u even is only RM10!!! however, if there are 1,000 units then they will have extra income of RM10k.
this developer is extremely teruk & "f**k!!!!....

Anyone knows how is the situation now in Villa Wangsamas? The rental looks quite attractive for this prop. Any guru/owner mind sharing???

3 blocks of 30 story condominium, anybody got info?

the JMB in this development is doing a good job -very proactive and i noticed that one of the blocks' cracks have been repaired and it now looks normal - the one closest to the guard house.

i feel this development has still legs to run in terms of cap appreciation with the new management as it was lagging behind previously due to the developer not
managing the place well after VP..moreover this is freehold compared to riana green that is leasehold.

its high density but this are medium range condos and as such its for the mass market so demand for rental units are high . profile of tenants - middle eastern families, koreans, local families

the units are of a good size and there are 3+1 bedrooms so quite spacious at 1200+ sf - dont remember the exact size.
think currently psf is about 350sf for this size?

location wise is good as it has good access to DUke highway - only 20 mins to reach damansara perdana, 15 mins to mont kiara..

Yeah. About 350 psf. But I am kind of worry to see quite a number of auction in the iproperty for this prop. Any idea??

Added on September 16, 2012, 3:00 amWent for few viewing recently for Villa Wangsamas. Looks quite ok. Anyone has any idea how much diff between between Phase 1 and Phase 2? Price in iproperty seems a bit off. Agent simply calling price they want.

I would likes to bump up this topic to let more ppl know, I'm resident in here.. now problem getting more & more! eg. those tiles break & they fix it & it break again & break & breaks.. continue break like nobody business. I know JMB is working hard on it but this "breaking tiles" serious non-stop!

look at their facebook group comment, non-stop like market promotion!
