Hi Guys, Any staying at Block C?  Mind to share any problem on this block or the overall condo management now?

Thankss

Break tank overflow causing flooding of certain units there.
Lifts quality also a big concern.
Pump broken issue.

Management is a mess too, not managed by professional management company.
The result of bad management is clear. One example, the facilities at right after the entrance of forest trail is not well maintained. Go see yourself and you know what I'm saying.

Those owner here unlikely to share "problems" with you. I suggest you visit there and ask people staying there.

This unit located right opposite the break tank unit.
Facing west too, unit can be like an baking oven 4-6pm, unless you like to watch sunset everyday.
At this price, i would say investors won't get in.
Buying for own stay also same unless they don't do "homework".

It's because buyer can easily top up to 690k to get from subsales from other blocks esp. those facing city and facing seresta.
I would say let it drop another 20% would be the right timing to get in.

I know that facing west is not ideal due to sun set, and most of the people would not like it. But if that's the case, then who else will be buying the west? Or is it safe to say that the entire west facing units will be empty as nobody would want to stay there? Be it renting or own stay.

your assumption is on the extreme side bro/sis. no offence ar.
it's like some people saw other bought new car, then says "wah, you so rich nowadays, drive new car!".
in fact buy new car doesn't mean rich, drive 2nd hand car doesn't mean poor.

similar people would not prefer facing west doesn't mean nobody would choose facing west.
it's a matter of choice available ma. if given a choice plus cost saving not significant, people surely will try to avoid west lor.

No bidder. But bank also refuse to drop price.  doh.gif
Haha. Not sure if that is a smart move or not.
Should just drop to attract more bidders and maybe price can end up above 600k in the end.

Me actually placed booking but un (fortunately) the unit was snapped up in seconds..during launching like pasar pagi, tat time really herd mentality

But it is a nice place to stay actually, only concern is the steep hill location

During launching, the price considered reasonnable for 1400sf+ units for Rm700k plus, most sohai inc me yes thought upon completion will climb to rm900k+
*
hehe, heart break for those flipper for sure.
if for own stay, not bad considering the location & greenery and of course the psf price now brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif

I copy and paste from google review.....

I'm staying here for 1 year and 2 month now.
Can say nothing is working properly in this condo. Management just ask to fill complain forms and it takes a life time to fix a small issue. Problems never solved in last year:
1. Entrance access card reader doesn't work properly and every time security guard open the door.
2. Parking access card reader doesn't work. Every time security guard tap his card to open. In  case the guard is not there should wait for another one to come and open for you. 
3. Usually all 4 lifts not working togather. Always there is one or two which is not working. Can imagine how long does it take to get a lift in level 35?
4. Block D water pump making very bad sound and vibrating my unit since last year January. Almost 40 people come to year the sound from management to pump company such as plumber, technician and big bosses but no one can fix the issue.
5. There is no dustbin in walk way and people smoke and throw their cigarate  on the floor.
6. There is no separate trash can for recycle items.
7. The resident exit gate is closed for more than a month now. Resident and visitor both use same gate which can take up to 10 min in rush hours to get out from condo.

*
generally from all these 7 items, it can be grouped into 4 items - the access card reader, the lift, the pump & trash.

all the above issues are not difficult to solve. wondering why it seems like difficult to solve?

Would like to ask about the telco tower on the top of the hill. Is it imposing any health issue to the residents? 🤔🤔

maybe this seller is not the first batch early bird.
for own stay i am more than happy with the price i got offered, i am not greedy though.
when i studied the transacted price of the first half of 2018, the average price is around 540psf.

Still got any major issue?
Last week, Visited my friend at Block B. When inside the lift, suddenly black out, and no response, stuck inside the lift around 30 seconds then become OK.
I heard the lift also breakdown.
*
I tot block B is as less problem as block A.
Been moving in since May this year, so far no lift issue at all except there was a time the lift closed for maintennace which last 1/2 hr and the management did inform in advanced. btw, I am staying at block A.

For those who are interested in DF, imho, it's more for own stay than investment.
I bought it two years back and the rental is range 1.9k~2k bare unit w/ AC. However, no problem to get a tenant thou.
Through out these few years, there are improvement, from my observation, esp. after they changed the management company last year. Like other owners said, the majority tenants here are young familys with kids.
the only thing i wish is, they can convert the open air badminton court to a basket ball court (half court) which is more practical.

One more thing, you will be mesmerized by the misty view in the morning after the rain which you will hardly get it from other condo in KL or PJ, I believe.

Dear owner and tenants, I'm looking at DF subsale unit.. may know how's the soundproof of DF? As the current condo I'm staying now, the condo soundproof is super bad, you can hear it very clearly neighbor dragging chairs, furnitures, walking, stomping, banging door and etc. Can't even sleep well at night.
*

So far those you mentioned are not experienced. However, within the same unit the door sound insulation is terrible, you might need to change the room door if you are so sensitive with "sound" esp if you have many family members.
One more thing, if upper floor got renovation, surely you will hear that.
