[attachmentid=3664463]

after several calls.......

Not have much of a choice for 845sqf due to limited units....

I m sure that 845sqf alrdy above rm591.71/sf......close to Trigon Launching price.

who told u one size of 1700 above?, small size of 9xx sf also got but all sold out, only left big uni.

Yest received 3 calls from agents ask my unit want to rent or sell - think demand still strong but rental might not high.

shud be around 580-600psf i believe? based on the average asking price in propwall: http://www.propwall.my/pusat_bandar_puchong/setia_walk

Hints to choose best location.
Higher floor facing forest reserve will be the best, away from the noise either LDP and Pubs.
Better greenery view.
So far R3 will be best location block (Consider a little bit better than) as it more center location in SW. Less PH. Better facing either front or back.
More mature developed and less renovation works.

R3 is nearest to mall.
R1 is the newest.

A123,
Hope you can promote a transparent sw jmb so that to make all sw residents and investors paying the worthy value. Also please help bring up those un-resolve issues by developer before they end their liability. There are lot of issues still pending since R3 vp.

It would be of great help, davkong, if you can post your observations at the for owners and tenants only FB I mentioned. Many JMC members and fellow residents(200+) are there. If you agree, I can post it there on your behalf if you are still in the process of been vetted to join the group. Thanks.

Cukai pintu need to pay at MPSJ (nearby puteri market).  My unit 2 rooms need to pay RM128.00

Latest update :-
R1 - 31%
R2 - 50%
R3 - 62%

Occupancy rate

1 of the most recent transactions done

type  D 845 sf unit # R2-XX-13A
sold at RM580k or RM686 psf.

wow really?
so based on the psf rate, 1007 is around 690k, and 1096 is around 750k now?

Our costing is no different from those in KL. Costings dictate service charges.

For just  760+ units more than 40 guards got to turn up for 12 hours work each day, for residential parcel alone.

We have three separate  swimming pools and three accompanying fully air conditioned facilities such as gym, reading/game rooms, and three air cond double level grand entrance lobby with at least a guard stationed in each.

Three teams of cleaners.

Three separate car parking complexes with different entries and exits complete with three separate visitors car parking and their guards. Brightly lighted car park with electricity bill for car park lights alone at RM30k+ pm.

Double volume lobby temperature was at one time set to 22C. Now reset to 27C.

Full HD CCTV upgrading at Level 7 and inside all lifts. Access card entry to grand lobby also being installed. All paid for by JMB - not developer.

If the residents insist they want nothing less, then the expenses will all show up in costings.

I call some of  these excesses. But other people call it living in reasonable style!

Maintenance fee, standard of maintenance and property value are all inter-related. The stake holders will have to decide what is a good balance for everyone.

After having seen all the info, the residential reps in Jmc feel maintaining the current level of service/costing is a good starting point in Agm.

I have made known in Jmc, personally I feel the quantum of 60% increment may be too high for some in terms of affordability. Costs cutting via rearrangements such as one guard post for all visitors' car, total guard numbers must be reduce by half, reduce electricity bill by reducing lights, switching air cond off after 10pm, etc. Management efficiency got to improve,  leakages and excesses got to be controlled tightly. For example, RM10k limit for FM set since first Agm is far too high. Got to bring down to RM2k. Need to get Chairman or Treasurer approval if above RM2k. Sorry to say I have seen this approval limit been abused.

In my personal opinion current Jmc together with FM still have much to improve - especially in areas such as leakages, excesses and pro active leadership (which is sadly very lacking) including on the ground monitoring and strategizing direction of progress. Obviously, weaknesses in management efficiency will have a direct impact on service charges and future of SW.

The existing clique within Jmc that has been present since first Agm is unhealthy. Their mentality on communication and transparency leaves much to be desired. Their generosity is overwhelming to me. All at a cost to stakeholders.

Not sure there are enough people willing to volunteer their time and effort during coming Agm.

But nothing can be done unless there are other volunteers so that those who have sacrifice their effort in Jmc for two terms can finally get to retire. Fresh minds and ways of managing things are good for and in my opinion, greatly needed by Jmb.

Existing costing cannot change much if there are no significant changes in the ways SW is managed.

Generally new FM is reasonably good. Top management is very cooperative and willing to go all out for Jmb. There are of course some room for improvements too and weaknesses/inefficiencies to be corrected. Jmc got to help to point them out so that they can be  improved/fixed.

Different people have different priorities and ways of looking at things. The easy way out is to wait for FM to do everything. But FM alone have limited ideas. That is why we need a Jmc to look for feedbacks, brainstorm and debate on issues and ideas so that what needs to be done can be  decided upon and implemented by fm. I hope next Jmc will be able to provide a  better leadership to FM.

Nett profit because R1 and R2 not vp yet in 2013.
To avoid litigation problems on service charges paid by residential, commercial and other defaulting owners, users pay policy is adopted by most if not all mixed developments in Klang valley where commercial and residential expenses are separated due to their vast difference in nature. Many even have separate bank accounts to handle this issue.

Jmb is an entity that can sue and be sued for unfair practices.

not a good price as the other block still have a lot of vacant
