Thanks for your input bro. Much appreciated!

Price wise u got a better deal than those who bought block E and H coz u got 5% discount. Recycled units by the developer went up another 4%. So u got ur unit now 9% cheaper which is a good start. If u do plan to stay thr in 10 years time, its worthwhile keeping it as ur unit with 2 carparks will come in handy. Dbkl is tendering a multipurpose hall with 28 stall foodcourt across d road near leisure mall which will add value to ur unit as well. Other mrt developments in cheras ie youcity also selling similar price to ur unit but its further away fr city centre n does not enjoy direct connection with LRT. Sunway velocity another cheras project, on d other hand is selling at a whopping rm1,100 psf which makes it 30-40% more expensive than yr unit. This makes ur unit looks competitively priced.

Thanks for all the wishes and tips,will check and let you guys know of updates... Good luck to all other ekocheras owners too!

You're right. I'm getting -2.4 with cimb. -2.45 would be nice but I work overseas so should be thankful that my loan got approved. Not much time left before snp too.

I'm also going for the flexi loan so hopefully can save up my savings quick enough to offset the interest.

I'm on 12th floor and my unit comes with no balcony so I believe yours would've one. What floor are you on? Not sure if mine is considered lower or upper floor..

Mine is on 8th floor.. sifus here can also advise? with 80% loan.. upon signing spa.. I nit to prepare 20% for downpayment adi?

Some banka strict in assessment n wont give the LTV dat u want. Anyway the 2nd 10% is only payable next july 2014.

That's interesting. How did you find out when the payments will be taken? I'd like to know too so I can decide whether to go for dibs or no dibs option.

If I can negotiate a 90% loan, is it definitely better to go with the dibs option?

I can't calculate the interest saved unless I know the developer's plans in terms of fund disbursements both timing and amount.

Star residence@KLCC launching tom at kl convention centre 4 a whopping min rm1,500 psf..up to rm1,750psf.

ya can say lucky la.. din pay any premium.. haha hmmm y ah.. just tot wan to put more dp.. din do much analysis on this leh.. but if im taking 90% will go for dibs..

im taking without dibs.. so i should be paying the remaining 3% - RM10k booking fees?

Yep, that's right. Also I can confirm booking cannot be trtransferred unless it's between immediate family. Block J price increased by 2% and H 4%. My dad had to show my bc to change the buyer to my name.

Also developer advised to take dibs if you're taking 80-90% LTV.

I was initially going to do the same as you but now not sure to go dibs or no dibs at 80%... Dibs at 80% means I need to have 20% cash without the 7% discount which is a lot of cash...
