Hmmm......i also noticed on this too. My booked unit is facing hill view of Tower B ....
is quite near to the TM communication tower .....
anyone still got concern on it ?

Seems like everybody have second thought on Selayang 18...any improvements on the sales? if the sales keep stagnant, maybe this project is not so good after all...

I thought u bought it for own stay...may I know why u so concern about the lock on period? it shouldn't be a problem unless u suddenly got a huge sum of money to pay back all the loan, is it? or I missed out anything here?

The lock-in for 3 years is for islamic loan only. Otherwise its 5 years for conventional. Ownstay or not... nowdays where got people still buy into 5 years. many things will change in 5 years. NEVER NEVER get 5 years!

Maybank is trying to play hardball by squeezing borrower since they dont have much competition here at S18.

Lock in clause in islamic loan is rare nowadays. Most of the bank's islamic loan is no lock in.

As long as make money I don't mind lock in period.

Good point Mr.Hunter. And u r right! So like I said, Maybank thinks buyers here may not hv much option/competition. Unsuspecting borrower may unknowingly fall into their little scheme.

So buyers be warned! Unless u r happy getting islamic loan with 3 yrs lock-in or 5 years conventional lock-in. Either ways it is totally unusual with other development.

Then how's uob rate and package? Any idea?

Lastly, menjalara 18 has Telekom owners and satellites too...hehe

Yet to be processed by uob but banker pre-empted me that it is likely to be less than 90%. Looking at how maybank is playing... I am not optimistic with uob either. Its simply put... Too big a piece of "fei juu yok" to let go easily. After all only 2 banks are confirmed in. As for public bank and alliance... So far hear say only but no proof.

Any forumers can feed back on their bank offer?

As for menjalara 18.... Telekom satellite or not it is entirely up to ur own choice. Flix bro did not want to pay so much to get htc and frequency exposure on a daily basis. That's his perogative. And I support him.

F3, what's the take up rate for s18.

Seems slow down a lot..and this project started to

Erm...the lock on period actually means that u can't clear up the loan within this period or u'll get penalty for it, is it?

The only concern for me is why that the bankers act so slow...until now still couldn't know my loan application accepted or rejected and did I manage to get the DIBS...

erm.. got informed of 5 years lock in for conventional and no lock-in for Islamic from MBB.

is it different consultant different offer?

Mind if I ask? what's the different between conventional & islamic loan?which 1 better?

There's a thread running around on this subject. Suggest u hv a look.

Anyway I am officially off this project. Best to the rest.

Y bro

Why a tread running around? Cos the subject is alarming and yet intriquing. Lol

If u read my early post... The banks are giving less than optimum deal to s18 buyers. Maybank asking 3yrs lock-in islamic loan or 5 yrs conventional loan. Either case it is not a reasonable deal to buyers. UOB offering less than 90% subject to approval.

Develooper and bank think we are at their mercy. Think again!

My the other property under maybank Islamic. Had seek for lawyer advice. Nothing difference with conventional.

Myself already under 1 islamic loan. Understanding the statement is a struggle for me... The uninitiated type.

Furthermore islamic usually giving better deal like zero entry or fre legal etc. This one aint nothing. Much debate has been on it. So, Nett nett, I m looking at my next conventional loan.
