Show room details furnishings are different from the FREE
Furnishings usually ..,

What std the kitchen or what std the lightings is up to developer . If not happy then we can ask Contractir change the kitchen n hack it n put different ones to suit taste quality n std .

Free items are usually the basic std things . We are not getting things based on a promised value .

Like the paint - after rennovation done - complete paint job on all walls again .

Actually these days there r so many home decor home furnishing exhibitions in KL
Visit each one of them n explore the items they have n see the prices quoted n details .

Some items r cheaper during the last day of Show n you can grab some goody bargains .
Items like taps sinks or wardrobes sofa sets n hanging laundry items TV fans n air cond electrical items .

Some items are personalized customized that if u like nice taps n then you can replace all the taps or glass doors in toilets eg

Showers water heaters n window dressing items like curtains to louvres to other blinds .

These items r a must n you cannot escape installing them whether to rent your furnished place or stay in .

Shopping to furnish a apt is a challenge n cost keep
Rising each year .
Air cond for two rooms inverter systems plus hall already is average rm 4800 already!

Blinds or black out fabrics if u engage curtains companies to do will cost minimum RM 1500-2000 already ,

Rennovating wet dry kitchens areas ( those with 1000 sq ft above will cost RM 5000 above .
Buying washers n dryers is rm RM 5000 budget combined .

Shoe box if buy outside simple one will cost rm 500
For a nicer one . Customized will be rm 2000

Installing mirrors at least rm 500 to 1000
. Unless u buy simple small mirrors .

Because I am moving to new house
Rent to wait new house ready .

If while renting n if I like it - then I would buy it .

renting any place allow me to know - I can discover the good n bad part of any development before commit to buy .

Just like central soho- whatever they give free may not be what I want or prefer.
If not practical or not able to serve the purpose - I may hack the walls n re design to suit .

So simple explanation I hope .

I think the building schedule is so so ok la..
If any property consideration purchase- I rather concern after VP issues .

Whether maintenance is good. Whether security is good.
Whether the tenants residents are quality or live occupy by pimps or whether it turn out to be a super quality branded boutique condo with 6 stars service .
Whether the facilities are working.
Whether all of us pay our fees and whether rentals are high n returns of investments are there.

Stay in or rented - the point is
QUALITY LIVING STDS .

2014/2015 is not the golden investments years of
2010-2013.

Those years even if u buy at 200k that same property shot up double or triple in 2 years !!
What a laugh for investors running to the bank or having bought cheap n now so expensive .

Central to me is not cheap even soho or others blocks .
The 731 sq ft unit could have bought a 3 room 2 baths unit with balcony elsewhere nearby.

The philosophy behind the Central Soho or Courts etc is
Ok . Accessibility so so ... Off jam hours .
Jam mornings I don't know .
Depends where you are leading out to .eg From 7am - 10am plus - using that Connaught Cheras road to mid valley road is totally jam up !

If you r going to MRR2 road to Pdn areas passing by Central Soho to MRR2 - the jam is there at 5 pm onwards .

Other times apart from mornings or some evenings jam- CENTRAL leads to KL n other OKR roads n Kesas or all over KL especially the coming Lokeyew toll passing Sungei Besi .

It's getting very expensive to have a KL POSTCODE address.

So if you can afford the loan n approved - the property is OK. Buy the inner units ( larger units) n not those facing the Muslim Cemetery facing opposite Central block or the Developments as whole .

If u accept this - then ok .
Analyst I read from other sites did mention this and it better to know than being ignorance .

The design is acceptable n well ventilation .
Hopefully rentals are good.
Car parks - try get side by side parking units for yr selected unit. If not, well .....

Cheers

Every morn when I come from out from Midfields condo n exit out from midfields mini round about - will exit out to the long stretch road to drive down that
Cheras Connaught Midv road at 7am!
It's jam still crazy n takes minimum 1 hr for a 8 min drive down to Midv

On Sunday - when I come out from MF - exit/out to main road n will take only 8 min n enter Midv

Not sure what u mean by ok jam .
But I exit out to main Sungei Besi turn to PNE highway to sungai way n to Kelana
Etc
Prepare to pay toll n you will lessen half of the journey faster by toll.

Am not going to stay at central .
Purely for rent or investment .
Too small for me to live in.
I like spaces .
Landed too expensive n I need the security to stay safely.

Sungei Besi Development or the old Airport or bandar Malaysia Development will sure gear to high end offices n other developments .
Why waste a super land in KL for low cost ?
Or mid range Hses ?
No way Bru

Without Sky
Are we all clueless !

Anyone writing to developer to get any info?

The loan bank will definitely insured the property
As long u r taking loan
The property is still charged under the bank .
Bank being the owner will want the property to be fully insured to protect their investment !

Common sense.
Later - the JMB will also insured the property as general overall .
So two insurance policies u will need to service .

The building mgt will also buy general insurance n charge to your additional charges etc

The bank which u took loan will buy insurance ( u check what the insurance ).

My previous property
I paid two parties insurance
Building insurance taken by JMB
And the loan bank .

After paying full loan - I am only spying the building insurance . Unless I take up a personal loan on the unit like theft to other losses .

As I said
My own other condo
Their JMB buy n ask all units pay .

Central can be same or different
I dont know
Depends on JMB

The two pic
The one facing nirvana is Leafz
Already 3 towers !

Central is still there in the other pic but hidden behind the tall building . Facing the serenban highway .

Both projects around same time build up
The other really fast !!!

Lucky central is moving up recently ...


Attached thumbnail(s)

This close up of central with cranes
From my condo window at Tmn Sungei Besi
Midfields

This is the Leafz
3 towers towering up !

From pic I provide :

I guess the entire Leafz project will deliver all 3 blocks ahead of the Entire 3 blocks of Central !

This early completion will add at least another
500 mid class units to the Sungei Besi area !

I think 2015
Will be a renters dream
So many to choose from.

So better save more to rennovate well
It's fit of the fittest to get the tenants !!
2rooms fighting with 3 rooms offer or 3 rooms against 3 rooms .

Actually today's building technology being so advanced
That to say 1 floor per week is acceptable .

Unless affected by weather or logistics or lack workers .

After completion of the building including lights installation - there is a period waiting for local councils to give the certificate of fitness .
U be surprise the lapse can take months or years !!

In some cases we see a fully completion building but standing there for half year or years
Why ???

Because of no full certificates approvals received .
This is the period you should worry more than anything .
After VP again the defects repair months .
So after big piling which is the difficult period . The build up is not .
After it's the most challenging to receive the certs for moving in .


It's feb now . By the time we blink our eyes - CNY will be over . And march soon n end of Q1 .
Don't forget there another 2 more blocks to go .
I be glad if first block complete in dec n VP final in June 2015.

For Leafz their all 3 blocks will complete around same time as compare to Central .
I really wonder why the delay for the remain 2 blocks .
Why one by one n not all 3 in full construction .

I rather they deliver all 3 blocks at one time than one by one .

Imagine u are staying n there Are construction in full force with the other two blocks .
The noise . The dust. The mud n lorries and everything in a mess .

TQ for feedback

Please enlighten us on the
Mgt maintenance of U2
Clean ? Security std ?
Landscape ?
Public areas outside unit clean tidy n lights ?
Car park?

ELECTROBOY,

TQ for the detailed walk in REPORT Of U2
.

Well the fact that it's a pre 2009 price, everything is
No matter what is really so much cheaper ...
Yet a mid class value .
Such places - many will buy that time to invest n rent good price at today's rental. They bought cheap at 200k plus n rent today's 2014 price . Gd returns n ROI TO
Pay off the bank in short time .
Despite being a DORM condo - I guess owners are laughing to the bank cos they pay low bank loan
Just like my current renting midfields
In the heart of KL n Sungei Besi n Ytl developer at RM 220k during launch 2010.. Today they can sell for 550k
More than 120% up!!

Our Central condo - we bought at highest per sq ft n just ave location n small unit for such a high price .
It's ROI return for rental over bank Loan will be challenging !!!
Whether the free items given - renovation will at least minimum rm 30k - 60k if u engage reasonable reputable kitchen planners n rennovation etc
As u can see, even a simple TV cabinet display cost rm 4-5kl
.

A customized one will be 6k to 10k.

There being no colleage next to Central n so students coming to stay is less . Unless a colleage nearby students are contracted by agents to come here to stay at Central.

2015/2016 is not a owners paradise but a rent tenant paradise as he can choose any unit n the many units available nearby Sungei Besi .

Our Central units must look premium n look branded
Inorder to stand apart .

Near to TbS is just a plus but has nothing much to link Central with quality high rental paying tenants .
Even the foreigners expat renting units have car to travel .

LRT commuters generally are low to mid incomes n surely cannot afford to pay our high rents of Central ,
So our tenants generally are car owners or use taxi etc
If use LRT - remotely once a while .

That's Malaysian higher income profile type .
Own car n live comfortable .

Bought for investment
Not staying
I actually bought without see show room n ask for highest n best one.
I only get pissed off when I found out car parks n location facing cemetery.
Well more my fault in not doing enough home work n looking within n not looking beyond .
Beyond the place are a cemetery which is a fact .
That was not told to me .

Does everyone who buy this property know that ?

Well what's done is done .
Once build up - if times are good. I will keep . If times are not - I may sell .
That's life .


Well I don't think I say bad . N you even agree with me.
Maybe msians just like to wait for others to talk about it n when others do - they ask why .
Why you agree with me then.
