hi all, I just purchased a Nerida intermediate house. in doing so i noticed several defects and claimed warranty for them. sime darby repaired most of them except two:

1) uneven ceiling plastering, looks senget in some areas especially the kitchen
2) uneven wooden flooring. on the 2nd floor the floor panels look like they are going to "come off". i am comparing this to other houses where the floors looks much more smoother with the lines between each panel not obvious at all.

the contractor has refused to fix these 2 stating that there will be too much cost - ceiling need to be broken and redone and flooring also. is there anything i can do about this or will i have to repair it myself? when i bought the house all the agents told me warranty cover everything as long as buyer not satisfied, it must be fixed. this does not seem to be the case now.

yes.. my lot is actually near the tension lines area, it helped in bargaining the price a bit, make it slightly more affordable.

i actually noted all these before purchase but was bought in by the agent who assured me everything will be good. to his credit he did help a lot with the claims and sending forms etc but didnt seem very effective. sime darby only fixed the easy problems like paint touch up, etc. the rest they just straight up said no, too difficult... and if i wanted to, i have to go through tribunal and all.

just from my observation on the takeup rate around my area (Nerida), 6 months ago it was zero now my entire lane >50%. people beginning to move in.

for the older phases pretty much mostly taken up.

new e-boulevard coming up, started building already.

however as Z1000 said older units higher likelihood of defects, i am facing this problem also and having a hard time claiming it.

if agent tell u got warranty, dont believe 100%. not all can fix.

Any recommendations for grill contractors? i had one quote me 3.5k for the standard horizontal ones for my house... is the price good?

Better do it fast... you'll need to get the form from their office.. fill in, preferably with picture and/or mark the area in your house with masking tape

I've not had a good experience with them so far... some defects have to resubmit a few times before they fix it... and still stuck with warranty process now. It's been a good 3-4 months ><

Can't install grills because of this and end up all the water pipes and taps (whatever's in the house that has a semblance of value) got stolen --> more warranty headaches.
