Dear All,

Do not buy from Zeus Properties Sdn Bhd at all costs. They gave me shitty problem literally. But I gave up in suing them cos I don't want to go through all the stress in suing them. Lousy service too. I find new defects every few months, but they rarely reply emails, unprofessional.

You can read my previous posts to understand what shitty problems I experienced in my condo unit.

KUALA LUMPUR: Trinity Group Sdn Bhd yesterday clarified that the company, its associate companies, directors and shareholders are not in any way linked to Trinity Corp Bhd (formerly known as Talam Corporation Bhd) or any of its subsidiary companies.

Trinity Group is an integrated property boutique developer, with its core business in property development and investment.

Managing director Datuk Neoh Soo Keat said news reports of Trinity Corp's debt recovery exercise over the past week have caused a lot of confusion among customers, business partners, shareholders and the public.

"Unfortunately, this happened at an ill-timed period for us at Trinity Group, as we had just launched our latest project, The Zeva @ Equine South.

"There have been numerous enquiries urging us to clarify the issue as many have mistaken our company as Trinity Corp. Thus, we hope this clarification will prevent further confusion," he told a media briefing.

Trinity Group suffered heavy losses in The Z Residence last year due to confusion in the company's name, Neoh said.

"We filed a suit in court to sue Trinity Corp in November last year and the trial ended on May 17 this year. Now we are waiting for the judge's decision.

"The most important thing for us is not the losses, but we want to maintain the Trinity Group's name since the company was established in 2004," he said.

On the recently launched Zeva project, Neoh said the take-up rate of its Block A and B has reached 90 per cent and "we expect the same response for Block C and D", which will be launched soon.

"We have a number of projects in the pipeline to be launched. With that, we are confident of achieving our RM560 million revenue target," he added.

A very bad developer to watch out for:

PLENTIFIELD SDN BHD - Developers of Melaka Business Centre in Ayer Keroh

My experience with them:
- Bought a property in Sabah from them in 2009, a commercial shoplot run by Best Western hotel.
- Supposed to complete in Aug 2010.
- In Aug 2010 they told us delayed until Feb 2011.
- In Feb 2011 they told us delayed again until August 2011
- In Aug 2011 they told us delayed again until Feb 2012
- Now its Sep 2012 and property is still not handed over to me

- They are supposed to pay late interest of 8% pa to me. They refuse to pay.
- They are supposed to reimburse my loan interest payment (something like DIBS) - they refuse to pay for 2012
- They continually lied to us saying its completing soon and then suddenly they give me a letter saying that their engineers said in Nov 2011 asked for construction extension due to 'lack of manpower' and 'bad weather'.
- They are using said engineer's letter to get out of paying us late interest.

Overall, dishonest, lack of integrity, poor project management, poor customer service, poor everything.

Do not buy from this developer!!

If anyone has any other bad developers to share, it would be much appreciated also. Although these clowns are not blacklisted, we nee to know about them to save us alot of heartache!!

Hi Ataman,

I'm glad that Slappy had put up his experience with this developer,
at first i was confused as the project in melaka was still in progress so how come
Slappy is talking about late interest in my previous post.

After researching finally found out,
the project Slappy bought in Sabah is done by a company called Equity Leader S/B.
Which brings me & my friends to another queries,
Slappy bought in 2009, and the project suppose to ready at aug 2010.
Given all the delayed information, it did sound the developer is late but
doesn't want to compensate to Slappy as per his/her allegations.
Snp in commercial properties usually are 36months from date of signing
Snp. So if we do some easy mathematics, although developer delayed
in the project Slappy still doesn't qualify to claim any Late interest of 8% right?
So maybe the developer did pay out the late interest to other purchaser but not to Slappy
which cause him to be pissed and posting here ? tongue.gif (just my assumption)

DIBS i cant comment on it, however as investor based in Malaysia
DIBS is quite a new concept which is introduced in recent years.
However if the developer guaranteed DIBS then there should be a documents
or undertaking by developer. So Slappy can easily bring this matter legally and
most developer hate court case and settle it so i dont see any big problem there.
Unless the DIBS was guaranteed to him by sales agents who wanted to do the sales
and Slappy himself took it for granted without checking the documents properly.
Sadly this kind of things still happens among some irresponsible agents,
once i book a condo with DIBS but when i'm about to sign Snp i notice
nothing was written about it and everything the agent told me was a fraud
so i make a formal complaint to the developer and got extra 3% discount biggrin.gif

Ataman, as investor we are responsible in all the documents we signed. So
my advice is make sure whatever the agent promised to you is written down
in the booking form & signed. Then keep a copy of it as proof. Any dispute with
developer show them the form and then let the developer settle it with their agents.
Make sure everything is stated in black & white before signing the Snp as after signing
it is too late to request for anything.
This is the safest way on purchasing.

I'm looking into their current project, it was interesting. Even make a visit to their office
in Melaka last week during Deepavali holidays. Building already 6th floor on structure.
Will be great if you can PM me what they offer you so maybe i could ask for the same tongue.gif
as i'm looking into buying it. Despite what Slappy said i think this project is worth investing.
Cant judge a box of apple based on 1 rotten apple right?

Look forward to your reply ataman. biggrin.gif

Eh just realised this threat,

We bought 4 units in Sandakan, two shops , a factory and a hotel, under the Equity Leader, In Sandakan we flip the shop gain about Rm 200k ++, and the factory we bought at RM 500k now worth about RM 1million, renting to the goverment at Rm 5,000 per month.

And yeah i think Slappy is talking about the hotel in Block F, which we bought a unit there too. , and we bought in year 2009 , and we sign the spa which have 24 mths period for the consutruction, but there is a delay abouth 6 months, and the developer send us the letter certified by the engineeer ,
something "force majeur" act of natural , but my unit is already getting the rental guarantee , they bank in unctually

Slappy you should call the developer if your are not getting yours.

And how you can claim the interest during construction ?? , when i bought mind , i remembered that there is not Developer Interest bearing Scheme, so how can you claim ?? you got the DIBS when you bought it ??

As we have make profit, and getting good rental from the factory and shop , so we continue buying the shops and the hotel in their current Project Business Center Melaka

http://businesscentremelaka.com/

i bought the shops last year was at rm 600k, heard almost Rm 800k,

and for the business suite, which the developer use the same Hotel Operator best Western International, during the signing of SPA, the developer give us the supplementary letter of undertaking which stated the Developer Interest bearing Scheme,
the rental agreement, free maintenance and free nights.

So far my experience buying in Sandakan is very good under Equity Leader, we make money flipping the shops smile.gif, good rental from factory bought it previously at RM 500k, now worth Rm 1 million, if i can predict the future i will buy 5 unit at 1 row tongue.gif now collecting rental at RM 5,000, paying the banks at Rm 2,800 getting +ve cash flow . The goverment Mara wanted to buy the building , haha unless they offer me good price will willing to consider.

So their rental for the Hotel in Block F, also has started they pay promptly, so Slappy, my experience when i bought that unit there is NO DIBS, and how u can claim with them if there is no dibs ?? and do check if you have gotten your rental,

and for Melaka project, i am seriously positive as jsut went back from the site last week, they already progress at 6 floor , and the location is damn good there is a hospital beside it,

i bet this time will make more money than Sandakan , already lock few unti shops and the hotel.

Don't buy from SSF, lousy work. Water leaking everywhere, after fixed the old leaking, the new leaking discovered. Spend the whole year 2012, to make complaint fixing the water leaking. From Jan12 till now, I didn't count how many defects had been reported.

Small developer, poor management , no complain department .

They simply use injection method to patch up those leaking area.
Soon and later (after warranty period), will leak again, at that time , I have to hire people to fix the leaking. Don't forget, not 1 area, almost the whole house. Who will pay the cost ?

I'm very stress. I just wanna say leaking leaking leaking .

After 7 months, the leaking at the same spot back again.

I bought a property from SSF developer, and many defects from water leaks, crack walls, under ground pipe leaks. I have also been chasing for the defects to be fixed. Now coming up 24 months and defective leaks have come back. Chasing them at the mo but their attitude now it has been fixed previously and anything else is outside of warranty. What else can I do? The defects have not been permanently fixed due to poor quality methods used and it is reasonable to chase them to rectify permanently.

The SSF staff have really bad attitude once you have paid and bought the property they will ignore your emails and phone calls. When at times they do pickup the phone they will try and wriggle out from their responsibility either by delaying or saying contact their lawyers . This kind of developer really give the Malaysia property industry a really bad name. Are they trying to cheat the customers by building poor quality houses and sell them at luxury prices?

This is the worst experience I have ever had buying property and I warn anyone who is considering buying from SSF. One word, DON'T!

Any ideas what else can I do?

I Should post on Facebook

sunway is another "leaking developer"...

perpetually leakage problems..patch here there everywhere and only after numerous complaints and
letters to their lawyers..
their customer service is a joke..zzzzzzzzzzzzz.......


building standard so so only - not befitting of a developer who claimed to be one of the top in the market
and moreover, sunway is known to charge future prices

had to really kick butt to get it finally done meaning tearing up the entire floor to redo water proofing..

so after more than one year after VP , still there are defects outstanding..

sounds good yeah..sunway...but belum kena belum tahu!
