I will personally not touch Villamas project as I have been to their atmosfera project in Puchong. They have classified atmosfera as a high end project but judging from the problems they faced, plus what I saw there...I will stay quite far away.

Things that I saw when I was there several months back:-

1) Area was still messy even after VP, still looks like construction site
2) No protection whatsoever on their lifts for renovation contractor
3) Floor areas were still full of cement stains, no evidence of any final cleaning before handing over VP
4) Finishes on the unit the agent showed me (sub sale offer) was quite bad. The defect list was about a few pages long and the whole unit had stickers every corner, indicating a defect
5) Cracked walls, very poor finishes on door frames, window frames (luxury condo but low cost windows and doors used)

I went to see atmosfera because I was interested at their new launch next door (Zefer Hills)but upon looking at atmosfera...I have decided not to touch Villasmas projects until they have proven themselves again.

Good.... thanks for your comment.

Not all units are bad.. Do you see the all 400+ plus units ?
Not say all units are good, there are some units a lot of defects but there are better.
Have units are better and not much defects.. There is no perfect house..... there is always some defects as long as developer will rectify the defects. That is very responsible developer.

A good house always come with a price......
*
1) I did not view all 400 units (I'm not there to do QC checks for them, just wanted to know the general feel of this developer before I purchase). In fact, I viewed 4 different units that the agent had and yes, all 4 units had equally bad finishes. I can't conclude for the whole project but I can say the 4 units I are full of defects.

2) No perfect house/home; I agree. But Villamas is so short of delivering a proper development made me stay away from them. I mentioned about cement stains all over the floor areas...FYI, these stains were at the common areas, lift lobbies and walkway towards the units.

3) As a buyer, of course I do not expect the property to be 100% perfect. But if I can pick wisely, I wouldn't pick a unit with loads of defects (those that I witness were minor but what about those with major leaking issues?)They may fix it (they should) but imagine the inconvenience caused if it was a major defect.

Give you another example: Suppose you are looking for a car and you know for a fact that brand X is prone to major and minor defects but they give you 10 years warranty...would u classify them as a good car maker? IMO, fix the root problem and dun have to worry so much about defects.

I am a victim to such developers before and I am therefore very careful when I make a purchase. Past references and experiences matters a lot to me.

P/S: I have a unit bought from another so called "reputable" developer and I've had to hack my entire toilet as the pipes are leaking, external wall also leaking, and many other defects which the developer didn't really fix.
