What is the selling price for Block D now?
*
Starting price 789k (size 1468 sqft) before 10% disc which is about 490psf.
Cheapest unit I saw the other day which still available is 820k (before disc, facing west, 13th floor, size 1493sqft). This translates to 501psf.

1282009 gor, any updates on the take-up rate? Seems like Block D is going considerably slow compared to A & B.
*
Block D around 50% sold couple of days ago. Not sure during this weekend.

When price break the 800K boundary, it is quite difficult to move already. Last visit no crowds at all. They are too ambitious and set the price too high....
*
Agreed. With that price now, future block/phases will need to be sold the same or higher.

Last week was 104 units. So the new figure translates to about 55% sold for block D.

anyone know about Bank offer letter why the DIBS bank only absolve 36mth..? Why not cover up to 42 mth or VP....?
*
The offer letter I received also did not specifically state the DIBS period. I guess it will be included in the final loan agreement.

My bank Letter of Offer was stated as follow:

Commencement date of 1st Instalment repayment:
- shall commence on the first day of the calender month following the full release of the Term Loan or first day of the 43rd month from the date of this Letter of Offer or upon you taking vacant possesion of the Property, whichnever is earlier or such other date to be determined and stipulated by the Bank.

From the above statement, it seems to consider the construction period as 42 months (instead of 36 months) but not disclosing anything on DIBS.
*
I guess block A buyers have received letter to sign SNP this week. My offer letter did not state anything like above. If the final loan agreement did not state the DIBS period clearly and does not state the developer will borne it, I will not sign the agreement for sure.

The letter received from developer requested me to furnish the bank offer letter, pay SPA/loan disbursement fees (RM1440) and sign SNP within 14 days. Anyone else received the letter too? Is it for both block A/B buyers?

Any of you looking at offers from Standard Chartered? Was wondering what you think of the package. They are offered me a conventional term loan instead of MortgageOne. Reason for that is I can save on the monthly maintenance fees of RM10 during the construction period. To then switch over to MortgageOne after VP for a supposed fee of RM200 only.
*
Not sure about SC. But I got the same offer from another bank with similar arrangement and I didn't take it.

we paid RM10K and it is considered good as 10% paid, the difference between 10% paid and 10K shd be in the form of credit notes, so that it is a prove that u dont have to pay the difference. But i am confuse abt the calculation of credit notes. Seems that nobody knows how to derive. Will check with sales later.
*
Do u mean each of us will receive the credit notes?

Shouldn't the credit notes = 10% of SNP price?

yes, we shall receive the CN. but i am not sure if the 10% shd be from the snp price or 10% from the net price. For example.
snp price RM600K, credit note = RM50K becoz we have paid RM10K, need to clarify
*
Ic.. I get what you mean now. If u check your sales form, I think the answer is there.

Below from my sales form (price is example).
List price: 700,000
SPA price: 686,000 (after 2% early bird disc)
Part payment: 10,000
Balance of 1st 10% payable: 58,600

So I guess the CN=58,600 and the 90% bank loan that we should be applying is 617,400 (686,000-10,000-58,600).

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Checked with the SA. After we sign the snp, we will  receive credit note. Using your example, if snp is rm700k, meaning 10%=70k minus rm10k that u pay, the CN will be RM60k
*
Thanks for the update. Didn't really know about the CN until reading this thread. Based on my example, then the CN will be 58600 which is the "Balance of 1st 10% payable" smile.gif

List price: 700,000
SPA price: 686,000 (after 2% early bird disc)

CN strategy has been practiced by many developers. It's like open secret. Bank also want biz, so most probably they will follow the snp price.

I m surprise that some forumer doesn't know abt CN, meaning u do not aware abt actual price that u bought? Hehe
*
I can differentiate between SAP and my actual unit price after deducting all the discounts but didn't know developer will issue CN in replacement of the discount. Thought it will be just waived and provided us with a receipt or stated in the SAP or something brows.gif blush.gif

Hi, as I come to know about this project too late, I did not but any unit here. cry.gif
On the Developer 10% CN and DIBS, my experience with other developer is they do not
add in any new clause to their agreements, as these are standard agreements, too much exposure to modify it.
What my developer did was, it issued a side offer letter and asked me to sign off with condition that
if I pull out, I have to pay the 10% and interest. shakehead.gif

What happened was, the 10% bill did not come to me, developer paid (left pocket to right pocket).
No CN issued, for them, I think too risky to issue this CN lah. sweat.gif
I guess this developer will also just paid the 10% and interest after you have signed the side offer letter
with your commitment to pay 10% if you pulled out. 
This is my experience with other developer, may not be the same.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks for the sharing. It's useful info. This is my 1st property with DIBS so I'm really no idea on this.

Just signed SPA today. No DIBS things was mentioned in the SPA, the SPA just follow the standard format. The lawyer said no need to worry on the DIBS issue as long as developer not turning into insolvency within this period. Seems like perchasers are not covered perfectly. Anyone can share you opinion/comment on this?

I noticed that my car park location was mentioned in the SPA. It is front and back and blocked by another unit's two car parks. in another words, four car parks in one row!! Most of the unit's car parks was also designed in such a way!! I asked the Developer's staff on this arrangement, they just replied the simple answer which is "due to lot of units' car parks need to be designed in six level, so the car parks need to be designed front and back and close to each other." I replied that this is not an low cost condo and such design will lead to inconveniences. The designer should know at the first place and should design more level of car park! That person just replied that "no no, the car park already was design in such a way and cannot be changed anymore!" Really dissappointed on the design of the car park. Any can share your experience on this issue?
*
Did u ask them to provide separate doc to state the DIBS offer?

I don't understand what u mean by "4 car parks in one row". Normally if its front/back is understandable but 4 cars? I believe the other 2 cars can go out from the other side while the other 2 can go the other way. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Something like this??
Wall--road A--car1 car2 car3 car4-- road B--wall
(car1/2 belong to your unit & can exit to road A, car3/4 belong to your neighbour & can exit to road B)

Maybe u can post the pic of the car park allocation here if any.
