Previously there is a post to discuss about Bandar Seri Coalfields but very quiet. So I just open a new post to discuss.

I just purchased one of the Bromelia unit last month. Anyone purchased a unit in BSC?

I think by now you all sure received the letter to ask for the second 10% already, haha..

Mari-mari, get to know each other first before the project is completed in 2013 xD

Repeat thread?why continue with existing one

Most of the people commented in previous thread are non-buyer, some more the SA keep doing promotion at there, felt very messy to obtain the info from there. So just post a new thread.

Banyan buyer here.

Agreed the old thread was by people who look-see-good-for-invest-or-not.

Hope this will become a BSC community thread. Maybe could have named thread as such?

Although still quiet..... hopefully more will join.

Wow Banyan! Rich guy..

Awiva thanks for your support and suggestion. Already change the thread name.

My house is facing to Banyan, although there is a wall in front of my house, haha..

Duranta buyer here...

Not rich. Final upgrading before retirement, so went for broke.

Wife likes the house. My blood pressure already thru the roof since signing S&P.



Hi kcyau



Going to drive past site today. Update you guys later.

Hi kcyau, nice to see you here!

Where did you guys currently living?

I stay in Kajang now, is a far move for me, haha..

Shah Alam. So can monitor site every month.


Drive pass this morning. Land oredi flatten.
Saw some pillars oredi up in one corner.
Judging by location I think it is the Bromelia.

In fact there was one unit look like already plastered. Maybe they are building a show unit?

Will be back again next week. Want to see what bricks they use. Hopefully not cement sand bricks. Clay bricks please...

Thanks for the update, I think should be Bromelia, as I already received the letter that mentioned the foundation already completed.

Hope they will use quality building materials, too far for me to monitor, hope to get frequent update from you

How much is the price of the houses in BSC? The developer is KLK properties and i believe you guys will hav good quality homes...its main company Taiko Prop made alot of good houses in ipoh...

Ya, I heard that KLK build quality houses, that is one of the reason why I bought a unit there.

You can get more info about BSC at link below:

http://www.klk.com.my/busi_property_op.htm

BSC still have available houses? I,myself like KLK/Taiko build house..large buildup,good material and quality of houses based on previous experience with Taiko Prop...purchased by family members at different locations but quality is very standard and on time...just unfortunate that I work at the other end of Selangor so is not suitable to get a unit...wish you guys have a good quality home in BSC...

Bromelia 22ft x 75 ft DSL 138 units 348K (then went up to 356K)
Duranta 24ft x 75 ft DSL 204 units 388K
Banyan 40ft x 80 ft SD 128 units 688K

Ipoh still cheaper. Also Ipoh still got the old school Chinese sifu-class builders.
Here in KL , the taikors all become contractors,
left mainly Indon builders, workmanship can be problem if contractor lazy to monitor.

Yup,you are right that mostly are Indon builders and this happen even in Ipoh but i believed BSC developer will hav a close look at the quality in order not to jeopardize their image of building quality homes...imho,KLK is much better than other reputable developer in KL in terms of quality...

Bromelia and Duranta prices seem affordable seeing the prices of property has shoot up extremely high these 2 years...

Heard that they are going to launch new 24 x 75 DS Terrace this month. Price from 468k with larger build up..

I am also stay in Kajang, another end of Selangor, but still decided to get a unit there, u can also ma..change your work! xD

Added on September 18, 2011, 11:07 pmHey just to checked with you guys, did you pay the MOT to KLK lawyer already? Normally when they will need to collect the payment?

This post has been edited by kengwei: Sep 18 2011, 11:07 PM

Haha..change job to suit the property location? I thought the other way round...

So fast need to pay for MOT? Although i am not a buyer of BSC, generally you only need to pay the MOT when the master title of the land is converted into individual title by the developer...usually once the project under development,developer will start to apply from land office to break down the master title and it may take 1-2 years time...correct me if im wrong...

I not sure about the procedure, but when pay for the booking, the developer already gave me a copy of the temporary land title, which I think is individual because the details is specifically mention about the size and info (such as PT and others) of the house, just like the normal land title but it stated there temporary only.

The lawyer already listed down the MOT fees and asked me to pay, so I not sure whether is the time to pay or not.

Currently rent a room at pj area... This is my 1st house

Good good~ glad that we can stay in same "Bandar"

haha..

BSC come with Individual title ready....not needed to wait for 2-3 year.

ya... the title ready 1... not like other... need to wait for 2-3 yr

The land is FREE from any encumbrances

same "Bandar" but seem like less people talk about BSC coz quite deep far although most of them fully sold.

Any1 can confirm this and i want to know from BSC - how long does it take to reach PJ?

I think you can get the info from KLK Sales Office at Menara KLK@Curve there.

It took me about 20 minutes from BSC site to The Curve on Thursday at about 12pm.

30min if u using damaransara toll after that go out rawang selatan then go to LATAR highway till Puncak alam then the BSC on ur left not far away... i thk this 1 is the shortest path bt need to giv 2 toll.

Good to hear that for you guys...most probably the land belongs to KLK plantation..

hi, i didnt buy any units in BSC but am a residence opposite, Desa Coalfields.

myself and wife did checked out the BSC showroom in kota but more keen on their coming semi D or shoplot

good choice guys if u dont mind the 'distance'. nice place to stay if u wanna get out from the congested area. i used to stay in a condo in DP.

nearby there got chicken farm+fertilizer ....
sometimes , early in the morning or late night can smell an "aroma" from that farm ...

Same guy with the same highlight again... Seem like this fella didnt c the actual BSC area..

u're talking about wrong guy la .

i've been at nearby area much earlier b4 bsc to become housing area.

never mind, if the farm still there , just enjoy the aroma sometimes ...

There is a fertilizer factory (Kilang Baja Lay Hong) just across the river behind Desa coalfields, and has been causing problems for residents of DC and also Saujana Utama nearby.

However, in May 2010 the new Selangor govt has instructed them to stop the production of organic fertilizer, and disposed off current stock.

In September 2010, it was said the factory had moved.

Not sure what the latest update. Maybe resident of DC and SU can help?



The factory dumps its waste into Sg Buloh, which flow right past DC and then downstream to SU, so they get smell sometime.

BSC is much further upstream (esp Phase 1 ) so I don't think it will be an issue.

Ya I think that is not an issue, as I know the land surrounded BSC is own by KLK Plantation. Maybe that guy mixed up BSC with Emerald from Rawang.

Agree with u... Might b that guy really mixed up

BSC is located on higher ground compared to DC.

BSC some distance away, should be OK.

Will ask KLK for an update next time go their office. Just to kepoh.

Added on September 22, 2011, 5:06 pmWah . Uniglo you doing sales here also.

OK. Just please don't overdo it.




So far, 3 owners in this forum.

The rest all flippers ah?


This post has been edited by awiva: Sep 22 2011, 05:06 PM

Seem like not much owners here..

Haha..maybe BSC buyers all don like to online..

Or not lowyat forum member~

Ya lah. Maybe make facebook page can get more people.


Drove past this morning. Nothing much happening.(Maybe b'cos Sun morning nobody working)

more pillars being put up. And the 'show unit' (i think) has got roofing done.

Forgot to bring camera. Next time maybe.

Added on September 25, 2011, 12:44 pm(Mr uniglo sales, someone posted a question for you on the myrealestate forum.)


This post has been edited by awiva: Sep 25 2011, 12:44 PM

I also long time didn't pay a visit on the site... Thanks for the update..

Hi...i am a Bromelian too... on the whole the place is bit far but as you guys have said, where else can you find a freehold landed property for abt 300k.

Hope iot will be a good buy. At the moment staying in PJ and decide to stay in BCS once completed. Seen that about 2 units with roof almost complete. Wondering wether can drive in to hv a look...

Nice to meet u
The same reason as you that why I'm buy bsc

Hi KP11160

Got 4 people now...



This was the picture I took last Sun, with handphone. Sorry not so nice. Next week will bring proper camera.

That almost completed unit = show houses?

Can see pillars coming up left n right.

Cannot go see yet lah. No thru road. Unless you drive 4x4.

Added on October 1, 2011, 1:53 amThanks for the update!

Awiva, did you managed to find out what type of brick they use? clay or sand?

This post has been edited by kengwei: Oct 1 2011, 01:53 AM

From far, look like sand bricks


(But then again, I was snooping around Denai Alam and Alam Impian, two of the biggest priciest developments in Shah Alam.
They also use sand bricks for their >RM500K DST houses.....so cheap skatelah big developers nowadays)


Sand bricks don't block heat so well, and got to be extra careful when drilling.
I do a lot of DIY so not good for me.

Still got hope that they use good quality sand bricks - more % cement than sand.

Omg..sand bricks! very hot ler..

I will passby the site by Monday, will double confirm it.

Thanks for the info

---

Added on October 7, 2011, 7:11 pmToday drove pass the site, want to take photo but heavy raining~ Saw 2 houses are completed with roof, but they look like single storey?

According to the SA, they only use sand bricks on the internal walls (wall inside home), outside all use clay bricks wor..

Don't know true or not..

This post has been edited by kengwei: Oct 7 2011, 07:11 PM

I think they tipu. It is usually the other way round.
Because building by-laws requires that the 'party wall' (wall between two houses) must be made from clay bricks
(Read that somewhere in LYN forum)

Downstairs OK, got trees and porch to block the sun.

Upstairs got to find something to block. My house facing West somemore


Can go pester them SA true or not. Just checked my S&P. Type of brick not specified.

Aiyah KLK, 1st phase make nice-nice lah. Then only people come and buy other phases.





This post has been edited by awiva: Oct 14 2011, 05:15 PM

No such thing la internal or external brick..normal wall just 120mm thk (1 brick including plastering) except party wall is 2 bricks...

Let's talk about more positive things.

How do you think BSC will grow?

I nicked this from the Puncak Alam forum.

Puncak Alam is probably the nearest hub of activity. Other major housing = Desa Coalfields, Sri Pristana, Saujana Utama, Shah Alam 2




Uploaded with ImageShack.us



Across main road from BSC is Taman Alam Perdana, abandoned, but now being revived by the Selangor govt.
Then we have Taman Alam Jaya, which is turning to be the commercial focal point here. Small light industry park.
There is already an Econsave, and two banks OCBC and OUB.

Further down, before Puncak Alam, Worldwide will be developing Puncak Bestari, rumored to be an upmarket type.
Also rumors there will be a Tesco here.

In front of Puncak Alam, there are plans for Rozali City, a commercial + entertainment hub with a Water Park.
You can see the model in Bukit Cerakah's showroom at the entrance of Puncak Alam.

Got McD here already.

Then there is the major people generator - UiTM Shah Alam. Many big plans ahead.

Also indicated on the map is a hotel, and an LRT station. These ones not so sure can take off in my lifetime.

But if everything materialise in the next 5 - 10 years, can be next Puchong?

Good analysis!

But everything still depend on the Government and the Economy, for sure will developed one day, but the question is..when?

I am looking forward to our own township, Bandar Seri Coalfields too, as in the Master Plan, there will have a commercial hub, there are few commercial lot which is quite big, hopefully at least a Hypermarket come conquer this area, I think our location is more strategic, if you look carefully, BSC is located within the border of Kuala Selangor, Shah Alam and Sungai Buloh, so is possible to become another centre for these area, especially Kuala Selangor people, if they can find a nearer place to shop while on the way to KL, why not?

The last thing is.. I think most of the BSC buyers are bought for own living, so I think is ok lo..peaceful environment is most important for us xD

Just my little opinion..

No Offence, but for this sort of price and typical link house, dont even expect clay brick, if they give, then you are damn lucky....a lot of superlink, semi-D, and also those selling more than 1mil also contructed with sand brick.....

Secondly, it was rightly pointed out that the partition wall normally done up with clay brick....but i wasnt surprise if they use sand brick nowadays, developer is finding ways to cost cost or increase profit.....

Technically i agree with you....

But emotionally I still hope hope hope

Maybe Phase 1, KLK want to create good impression.



My current house in Shah Alam bought 8 years ago, DSL, RM140psf BU, 100% clay bricks. (I drilled everywhere, confirm)

This one I pay RM225psf BU......


OK never mind. Close case. Can't do anything.

But at my hometown Taiping, the new house 22 x 65 which sell at 220k recently still build with Clay Brick wor..

I have one friend is a medium size developer's son.. after provided him the house info (24 x 75, 2365BU, Land Size 3125sqf), he said KLK still have at least 300k profit (excluded land cost) left after deduct all the building materials cost (assume that they use all the best type)..hope they really will build quality home lo..

Cannot calculate like that. Taiping everything cheap.

Also most of the money goes to land and clearing, permits, roads, infrastructure and landscaping.


Since not clearly detailed on S&P (not sure about yours) cannot complain.

Only hope on their goodwill.

By the way, anyone knows how is the Oleander (latest launch) sale?

Yesterday when driving to work, suddenly see many banners on lamp post promoting Oleander.
Wasn't hanging there the day before.

Then this morning when go pasar, suddenly all taken down already. Like magic.

Hope they are able to sell well.
Although I think 468K is a bit high.

This morning went to sales gallery.according to sa almost 60% sold.

Went to the sales gallery last week, almost 50% of Oleander sold..now 60%. guess in no time it will be sold out. Understand the banyan sold out within 2 weeks. All the good signs heading towards making BSC the place of the future.

As the photo taken earlier as shown by one of you, I can positively identified those units to Duranta units.

I was asking one of the SA about requesting the contractor to install some additional copper pipes to all the bathrooms for future installation of solar heater but was told that it can't be done but asked me to request to the developer. Can anybody suggest with regards to this. Tks all. Looking forward to continue to have feedbacks from you guys.

We can write a letter to the developer to suggest for the copper pipe installation. But it will be chargeable.

60% one week after advert launch kind of slow down already.
Banyan was 60% sold on 1st day of pre-launch
So it is true market slowing down in general.

With Oleander, Phase 1 done. Wonder when they will launch Phase 2. I heard next will be shophouses. Predict 700K.


About your request afraid developer usually no layan, b'cos it may cause them problems later when apply for CF.
No harm trying though, since does not involve change to structure.

Added on October 15, 2011, 9:31 pmYeah I am also kinda hoping BSC will be develop in more homely fashion - more residential than commercial.

So if area around also come up, then very nice. Peaceful living in BSC. Nearby amenities across the road at the business hub and also Puncak Alam.

---

Added on October 15, 2011, 10:12 pmAnother rumor to look forward to : the NNKVE

Talks started in 2006 that there will be a new highway linking Puncak Alam to Penchala link.

That will give direct access to KL/PJ by-passing the jam-jam-jam roads

Problem is, 5 years down still no sign.....maybe scrapped already

Good to see purchasers here. I also same group with you all la

Ok uniglo. count you in.

If got insider info share-share ah.

You bought for investment, I suppose.

---

Added on October 17, 2011, 10:40 pm

First favour to ask, you know what is the breakdown among races for Phase 1 purchasers?

Just curious to see the trend.

This post has been edited by awiva: Oct 17 2011, 10:40 PM

At first I was thinking for investment.

Now for own stay

Well exact break down I do not have it.

But honestly, it is like Bandar Utama

Bought BSC too but still hv not decide for investment or own stay. Just hope that the commercial hub is not any empty talk.

hi. bought bromelia. havent decided either for own stay or investment. will perhaps see if the appreciation is good

I am pretty optimistic BSC will appreciate in price in future. I myself bought their Desa Coalfields (same developer) in 2005. That time selling at RM190k end lot. Transacted price for same unit now goes for RM400k. When BSC and Aman Puteri are fully developed, people in DC also will benefit from it.

I am Bayan buyer. If Bayan was sold faster than others, I think it is because there is perimeter fencing and free guarding for two years. Hopedeveloper will build a guard house so that it can be G&G.

On behalf of TS, welcome guys (or gals).



Can form resident association later and request guardhouse from developer.

Hope they keep their word and do the perimeter fencing.
It's not in the S&P, or is it?

Welcome everyone! Nice to see jiran-jiran all come in to discuss~

I think even Bromelia they also will do the perimeter fencing (according to the SA, is wall some more), it is not mention in the S&P, but we can see it in the temporary title there (area plan), they bold the outer area of Bromelia and just left with one entrance/exit, I think that is the wall, and I hope I am right..

May i know what is the status of Bromelia development? Thanks.

The foundation is done, now they are building the structural framework~

Ok kengwei. Thanks.
So we can start resident association later and have a proper Fence-and -Guarded setup.


There is another thread comparing BSC, and also discussion in the Setia Alam thread.
Attracting more attention and more buyers.


If I have time will take another photo of the site this Sunday.

Really happy that owners are taking a proactive role to make BSC a successful township.

BSC will be the new 'Setia Alam' soon

Can. Potential upgrader?

Wah nice pics...realy fast o

Bravo Awiva! Thank you for the pics~

Wah so near to the main road d, will be very noisy next time..

guys, any shop offices for sales there at BSC?

Thanks Awiva

The main road should be upgrade..if not, ppl there sure suffer la..

Of course it will be upgraded in the future.

Progress and development will take place.

Just keep an eye of this development.

Of course I'm hoping also..because future I will be one of those who are using that road...sooner or later, it will be upgrade.it is just a matter of time

no probs

Looks near in the photo, but actually some distance away.

There will be two rows of Banyan SD and a retention pond between the main road and Bromelia, so you no need to worry.

Also sure KLK will plant plenty of trees.


Please note however progress is only on one to two rows of houses, the rest not up yet.

Added on October 24, 2011, 8:30 pmNext launch I heard are shophouses.

Uniglo got inside info?

Added on October 24, 2011, 8:36 pmLast year the Kepong-Sg Buloh road plus Shah Alam junction done upgraded.

Logically next phase will be upgrading the road thru Sg Buloh town Center.
We all pray and hope.

Also rumors that there will be a new road cutting thru Aman Putri-RRIM-Kota Damansara.

i heard from a friend of mine whose brother is staying in Desa Coalfields and complained that at times there would foul smell experiences in Desa. Is it true? Just need confirmation. Would it affect BSC?

Ha ha it's true, chicken smell...Mayb temporary kua

Refer Pg 2, starting from Post#30

I can confirm the foul smell. Pay the site a visit

Can specify time of the day and location? (more or less) BSC site, DC, main road?

I go BSC site to check almost every Sat morning (xx kepoh ) but don't remember any smell.

When I was scouting for house also dropped by in DC many times.


Stay not too far from the area, so just name time and place and I will check it out and report here.

Last time I there at nite to enjoy the smell
Also when u buy do take note.
If one lorry breaks down then jam lo

The smell issue, just ask any resident there

Unless u are developer staff.

We all are genuine buyers, not a flipper like u. I also went to the BSC site few times, and also DC, din smell anything.

I think your nose got problem, want me to introduce you a ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) Specialist?

Why suddenly talk about lorry breaks down? I think the bad smell is come from your mouth not the place, please stay away from this thread, do not come kacau and pollute it!

Lorry Break Down in anywhere of Klang Valley also will jam, please use your BRAIN to think before comment, thanks!
