hi guys. Im a new guy in the block. all said and done, i was captured by the concept, and quality of the finishing and decided to Book a unit in 'block c' p/s - (SA confirmed that all material used in the show unit will be the same as in the block C unit )

ive been following up on this thread and just read the comment on the additional carpark issue. Immediately called my SA

My SA said she found out about this carpark charges few days after i signed the LO on (8/10/2012). She remembered answering "NO" to my question when i enquired as to whether there will be additional car park charges. hence i included the purchase for additional carpark lot and now after reading the comments, got me thinking twice....hmmmmm ...RM70/month on top of RM250++ maintenace etc charges. Was this deliberate? or simply to get buyers to signup with 8k booking fee without telling this hidden costs and possibility of deposit being forfeited of i opt out the purchase?

i remembered the SA kept repeating that they spent (*or intend to spend) an additional Rm18mil to provide the additional car park to the owners and if i sign snp 'quick', i'd get the carpark at discount price of rm18k, but not once of this additional costs involved was mentioned.

funny thing was,
Q: i asked what does the maintenance charges cover? A: and SA replied..."common area".
Q: what is common area then i asked? A: SA replied....the parks, walkways etc.
Q:What about car park? A: SA replied...no. that i guess is separate because management (i,e, SDB head honco's) is discussing to impose the additional charges.

here's my big bang question....
Q: if the carpark is beneath the condo it self, and its not maintained because of lack of funds, would there be possible structural failure thereby causing the entire condo to collapse?
A: SA reply...*deafening silence*

anyway, im expecting to get a call from my SA on this issue. I guess they have been receiving calls from other buyers. BTW, i asked SA whether SDB did the same for their ameera project, and guess what...SA said 'NO'.

in short, the answer from the SA in the days to come will effect my decision on this project. Maverick, count me in support if you wana give a piece of your mind to the developer.

just thot id mention in my earlier post that i did ask the SA whether they did the same to the buyer for SDB ameera ss2 condo and she mentioned no. anyone knows anybody who bought a place there to confirm? or any other projects by SDB which had similar issue on carpark charges? if its true, then there seems to be a trend by SDB to sucker up buyers to book the units first then later disclosing the carpark charges. ....adoi
getting my war face ready for combat soon

rm500k to rm700 now days are considered "harga sederhana"?
cant wait to know how much higher it'll get 3 years down the road.
anyhow, anyone gotten their snp yet? i would like to dig in into the clauses to find out about the carpark charges.

either way, it seems that the SDB found out the best way to avoid conflict judging by thier respond...by leaving it to the JMB to make the decision whether to impose or not the car park charges after the 2nd year. bravo u coporate scum u!

im still scorned by this car park charge issue. all my life staying in a condo, this is a first!
only had they informed earlier, this wont be an issue i guess
