When will Chimes complete?

found your blog, but no post about Chimes.

What is to the west of Chimes, below the surau. They didn't draw a road. Will there be a road or connect immediately to the next phase? Is the next phase a double story?

There is no 20x75. Only 24x75 and 22x75.

Another question I have which need to consult sifu here is that with the outlook these days, would it make sense to go for the fixed interest loan as offered by Insurance company (ING, AIA) as opposed to those that is tied to a BLR?

I agree with what you said. When I went on Saturday, I thought there would at least be 300 houses on ballot. When they started the balloting at 10am, the way they call out each ballot took so long I was afraid I have to stay till 3pm or something. I asked one of the staff if this is going to go on beyond lunch and was shocked when he told me that it will stop at around 11 because there was only 115 units for balloting. Then and there I wanted to pack up and leave! Why waste the time when there are 3000 applications (not 2000 because I heard number 2860 being picked, so it must be more than 2000 applications).

Good write up.. just wondering:
1. I thought Rimbayu is south of K Kemuning, not north
2. There are actually 115 units for ballot. It became 118 because 3 of the selected were Bumiputras.

Hey, I was in the last batch to select the unit.. so we were in the same line

Well, I heard a balloting number 0086... I also heard many 2xxx selected. Myself have a 06xx. So I think there are that many people.. unless they didn't give out 1xxx at all.

Wow, that average to 1 person with 6 tickets...
So much money meh?
How will an average, sincere buyer compete with these people with so much money.
Rich become richer!

Confirm around 3000 people attended last Saturday:

One more week to sign SPA. Dilemma!

Yeah, not sure if it is a good investment. It's not cheap, leasehold, pending general election, etc
The sentiment is not so positive, is it?

I only disagree on branding > location as I think location is still key to any property investment. But I know what you are saying - it's just puzzling why people behaves that way.. ha ha..

4 out of 5 people I asked have not heard of Bandar Rimbayu.
Scary actually!

I though the bumi quota - they will release to non bumi if it is not taken up upon 25% completion. That's not a problem then.

That's the dilemma I am fighting within myself. With 670K, I could also buy subsales in Kota Damansara; ok la.. maybe not 670K but 7xxK can get right???

After going to IJM office in Kota Kemuning today and seeing the complete site plan, this Bandar Rimbayu is not that bad. Phase 1 Chimes are surrounded by Primary and Secondary School adjacent in the North and an 'integrated school' to the East. I hope that would make it a better phase.

To the west is likely Phase 3, they called it clusters homes which is likely Semi Ds.
What's an integrated school?

Got free one year Unifi, free one year guard services, free solar powered heater.

Phase 2 is north of phase 1 after the schools.

Edit: You can also enter Rimbayu via Bandar Saujana Putra exit in ELITE as expected. It's 4km away from Saujana Putra.

My only concern with Chimes after seeing the master plan is that the road south of Chimes, parallel to SKVE, seemed to be the main road to access Bandar Rimbayu, whether the commercial, the school, the other phases, etc. That would make it dusty near Chimes.

Probably near Phase 3. It is north west of Chimes. Looks about 1km or so NW of Chimes.
