Hi sifus,
need your help here.
My wife and I bought 2 units at Regalia in January 2013 from developer and singed SNP on 25th Feb 2013. Desposit paid RM32k. GRR 6% unit. Then we process loan etc and Loan approve within 1 months(but weirdly only by certain banks and some banks dont even want to consider Regalia)..btw, its still on temporary CF...
Then we waited and didnt get anything from developer or maintenance office except from banks stating the release of payments to developer. On 4th October 2013, we got a notice by developer with interest of almost 12k in total.
We question why charge interest and they said late payment etc. There is a late payment of RM2k (only for one of the units) due to difference in loan amount and purchase price. i was late because i had to double check with the sales team and bank and verify. Once confirm, i quickly pay them off the Rm2k. Because of that developer want to charge interest of the whole amount of 10% of purchase price. we were advised to write an appeal letter which we did and send on 11th Oct.
managed to speak to staff there, apparently there are soo many cases of dissatisfaction and appeal which management has decide to ignore and will not entertain anymore appeal since last week. many buyers already gone to tribunal, some already win (a friend of mine).
on top of that, last week, 1st letter came from the management office, with overdue of maintenance fees, car park maintenance fees, building sinking fund, car park sinking fund, water bill since January 2013, and other charges of amounting close to RM7k.
i appeal for them to waive the developer interest of the 12k. i also appeal to waive any building maintenance fees, car park maintenance fees, building sinking fund, car park sinking fund, water bill since January 2013, and other charges as its not mine yet until vacant of posession or take the keys.
my question:
1.what else i can do other that send appeal letter, tribunal and ......pray?
2.are they allowed to charge maintenance fees before handing the keys?
3.i have never heard of car park maintenance fees, car park sinking fund etc. is this normal?
4. how long can we go with temporary cf? what are the risk?
any input is apprecaited, thanks!
Maintenance fees and other charges can only begin after you get vacant possession. If they have charged you before that, you have a legitimate ground to take a case against them. This is not an appeal since its not your fault. I have never heard about car park maintenance charges on any condo.
My advise would be to fight Mayland and fight them hard. Put everything down in writing and make sure you get responses in writing as well. Never rely on verbal communication.
