Judging by response here, doesn't seem like it's that great.

But I believe the promotion is: DIBS, 8% rebate, and free legal fees on SPA.

Price psf is ~RM 520-530 before rebate.

Anyone is the purchaser here? Can share the reason why are you buying VINA? I'm considering whether to take up a unit.

Well. I bought one. Reason? Couldn't really afford wotp for the same sqft. Thought of buying a landed with that money, but my gf and I travel for work a lot. When we do, only my mom will be in the house. I feel better leaving her alone in a condo than a 2 storey landed house esp considering her age.

Personally, even though I paid the booking fee, I haven't signed the SPA yet. Still deciding since the agent said it's refundable.

Having said that, I like the facilities and what they're planning to do with the landscaping. But I'm sure that the maintenance fee will go up after the first year. Just hoping the mgmt will be ok. Always a risk.

Perhaps I shouldn't have said 'sure'. Just that the maintenance fee for the amount of facilities seems a bit on the low side. I also thought that most developers manage the condo for 3 years while Mitraland is only managing for 1 year. This makes me feel like they also feel that it might go up. Just my opinion/feeling.

Whether the price will go up, I do not know. I think that the price of VINA is sort of capped because of the low cost flats nearby. And I agree with you, the MRT isn't exactly that close.

And as for the seri taming houses. I think they have to wait until all the freehold houses there go past 1M first. It's a shame that they're leasehold, if not, sure fly...

Yes. I was impressed by the facilities that VINA offered especially the pool concept. The garden concept was nice but not sure Mitraland able to built according to concept or not. Will be sad if the end product happen to be like Setapak Green. No matter how still few the VINA psf price is a bit high for Cheras even after rebate.

Ironically, this is the part that I'm not too concerned about. Although Mitraland is a boutique developer, they seem to have a pretty good track record. So I think they can build it as per concept. Maintaining it...another story since after 1st year, it's not them anymore.

Yeah, making me think twice as well. I heard that Cascades, Oasis and 16 quartz is OK. Didn't expect C180 to be this bad.

Oasis is the worst of all!  Dont believe, go & see la.  Very near to Vina only.  Can even see from their guardhouse, no need to enter also.

I'm actually planning to go see a house over the weekend before signing the spa. Do you live at oasis? What is your experience with mitraland with regard to defects rectification?

Did they fix all the defects or give a lot of excuses?

Just out of curiosity, how would you have marketed it?

I actually like the dual key as it fits my needs. But I can understand not many people would like that.

I assume he's talking about the low cost flats right next to VINA.

Can anyone help explain to me what exactly is the 3 tier security? Forgot to ask the SA when I was last there.

Fairly standard in most good condominium developments:

Tier 1 – Card Access at Guard House & Perimeter Security
Tier 2 – Card Access into Lift Lobbies on all Car Park Levels and Ground Floor
Tier 3 – Lift Access System to Designated Floor Only

Thanks for the explanation bro. Never really stayed in a condo with this before.
