Rosemary, dont make judgement purely from info via forum like this. Few years back there was some people keep condemning Desa parkcity and SUnwau SPK house price, quality and etc.....if you would have listen to that and cancel your purchase, you will be kick yourself all this while.
Now forum is more open and more mature, people willing to share bad experience, or so. Not like few years back, all people keep quiet becoz they worry that if the news of soemthing bad or negative about their property or whatever being known by everyone, then there property value will go down.
I got a chance to visit SPira previously, i think the house quality is pretty decent and reasonable for the price...of course certain thing i think can be improved ....like car porch (only using concrete instead of tiles), some design practicality, etc.
I dont what is the main thing concerning your fren, but i just hope that he is making a decision from the bottom of his heart and with a bit more information. Go and visit spira and viola and see it yourself .... at least that is a guideline.......
evaluate the house base on facts and right, you can use this forum as part of the info. make you right jugdement....
