Hi guys, am new here. Can't wait to move in to Pentas2...

Is there an RA for Pentas?
Are we going to get G&G?

G & G? That's good... Any idea when we will get VP?
Anyone have any fancy reno plan? Let's share our reno contacts and price... maybe we can get good bargain by doing this.

Was there any deeds restrictions signed for Pentas? This prevent may be a problem if anyone of us plan for major reno.....

GUIDELINE & PROCEDURE in applying MBSA permit. (Found this online... thought of sharing here:)

Documents needed:
- 2x IC copy, (if joint name , need both person’s IC).
- 2x copyS&P (1for Cukai Pintu / 1for Permit)
- Photograph of Back & Front pics of your home – Fully Printed on A4 paper (best to take vertical shots, and have to ‘fit’ the whole house structure inside as much as possible) For Front pic, take it together with house number
- 1x CF copy
- total amount: rm 524 + Rm700 + rm1000 + Rm25

Procedure:
What to do: (as of my experience)
1. Settle Cukai Pintu letter first.(if you have not got the bill) Go to Lift B , level 2 (Jabatan Penilaian) and submit paperwork for letter. Also take note, it depends whether the officer in charge is around or not. You may get it in a few mins/next day (like what happened to me)
2. Go to Lift A Level 8 of Menara MBSA. buy a standard extension plan booklet from MBSA - RM25. The officer will explain to you what document is needed and which form to fill. 2 extra copy on the extension plan is needed (from the booklet-which you have to go to LG2 basement photostate centre). If the house is joint name, need both persons' signature on the relevant forms.
2. Prepare two cheques/cash (cash is easier):
a) RM 524 to MBSA (RM200 as renovation permit, RM324 as permit to put raw material)
b) RM 700 to MBSA Akaun Cagaran (RM 500 deposit for renovation, RM 200 deposit plan process)
c) RM1000 (prefer cash) to Alam Flora for rubbish tong. (RM 271 – 3tan / RM420- 7tan) will be deducted for 1st tong (a must), then the rest can refund and can use your contractor's tong.
(max holding of RORO tong is 2weeks upon placement(including weekend & public holidays), where it will be charged daily after that , RM7/day -3 tan, 7 tan- not sure how much)
3. Go to Level 8, counter 3 to submit documents. Then go to level LG to make payment to MBSA and Alam Flora. Go back to Level 8 to get a slip and take the permit the second day (heard possible to get permit 4:30pm the same day too).
4. Opening hour 8am to 4:30pm . BUT, processing for permit is 8am-1230pm (Mon-thurs), 8am-1130am. So you have to make sure you must submit within this time.

Hope the above is useful for those applying permit.

Procedures to claim back the deposit after renovation

Procedures to claim back the deposits - RM700 + RM700+ (Alarm Flora after deduct the 1st compulsory tong), prepare the following:

1. Fill up the form to request for deposit refund

2. Make photocopies of i) letter of approval for renovation and put raw material ii) IC iii) Alam Flora RM1000 receipt iv) CF

3. Take photos i) Front ii) Back iii) Back showing the side step on top of roof with neighbours

4. Submit document at Level 8 - MBSA will post letter when cheque ready

5. Go level LG to submit the form to Alam Flora - told will take 2 months to post refund in cheque

Note: Need to maintain a feet of land for extension at the back so taht the gutter does not protrude into the back alley when view side way, claimed by MBSA that's according to their Plan, otherwise RM500 deposit burnt

P2 I saw roads fully tarred, street lights not up yet... Hopefully can get VP within Sept, inspection & rectification work may take a month before any reno work can start... sigh...

No sign of the place being gated yet... don't see them constructing any perimeter fence around P1/P2...

Pentas2 VP in October.... Saw some guy from I&P who walked around the site doing rectification work, who told me today... Sigh.... Thought can be within Sept.... But maybe he's wrong...

Anyone of you intend to build an small attic/deck at the airwell? Good storage area/Game room. The ceiling height is more than sufficient... Not sure anyone has any contact on this... Mind to share.

Also notice that the house does not come with the aircon piping, have to hack ......

Good thing is, it's already has an alarm system-Paradox brand-K32 control panel installed... Not sure how many zones, maybe can be upgraded from whatever existing..

Can see few defects in my house... Cracks, cracks, cracks... Hairlines though... So need to plaster and repaint...

No G&G.... Oh man...

I saw those without trees has a big hole and some bolts in place... Street lights? The portion in front of the rubbish bin also no trees.... Not sure if we can tanam our own tree...Musangking anyone? Hahaha.

I was there last weekend, P1 all the water meters were installed. Heard keys will be handed out after Raya, and yes, there was a unit sold for 900k+!! Soon price in AI will be over 1M....we'll all be millionaire... hahahaha.

Oct VP, inspection and defect rectification work will be another month. Reno can start in Nov... by the time kautim, earliest will be late Jan... sigh... faster give VP la...


All the street lights are installed, not as fancy as those in Putrajaya...

Questions:
I know P2 come with the Paradox security system, and I noticed in come of the toilets, there are 2 little pipes that stuck out from the wall... does P2 come with hot/cold water pipes?

I don't know about P1.... I bought P2...

I saw my unit 2 weeks ago, was lucky because the guy doing rectification work was there... he opened the door for me.

Few areas with hairline cracks, required some touch up job at the front porch... other than that everything looks good..

AngAng bro, does AI comes with hot/cold water pipes? I don't see the aircon pipings either, so will require some hacking....

Hmmm.... my side no lake, no longkang.. no goat... it's directly behind P1...

Hairline cracks is normal... and sometimes it appears after a while.. so don't too happy...hahahahaha.
I'm quite happy with the workmanship overall... small defects are normal, as long as they fix it fast... I want to target to move in before CNY..

Only M/bedroom huh?
Foresee damn lots of hacking required...
Any P2 owners here planning to fully extend the back? I am considering this as space for wet kitchen is a wee bit too small.

Key collection for P2 will be Oct... still have 2 months to buy padlock...

Bariong, welcome to AI...

Aiyo... Only 20+.... Faster sign lo.... much better to have fish and goat ma

I saw P1 many units are up for sale, only 1 unit renovated and ready to move in.... How many here bought for own stay?

P2 VP on Oct19 confirmed? It's exactly a month away.... It felt like forever... Year end contractors all rushing to close before CNY... Hard to get contractors as many already have too many jobs on hand...zzzzzzzz

Received letter on CF and VP, need bank to release the balance first, was told bank was given 2weeks from yesterday. There's some deposits that we need to pay I&P -TNB/Syabas deposit, and some other charges ~1.5k-Can pay via online.

Yahoo... finally P2 ready. Heard from the I&P staffs, P2 a lot of owners bought the place for own stay... fast fast take key, fast fast inspect and fix, fast fast reno and move in...see you guys there..my future neighbours.
*P1 all for investment purpose, was there last week... none of the units were under renovation, all covered with banners. Hopefully the Fish and Goat going to happen within 1st half next year...
