Even more pity to those who didn't get what they wanted after all the effort spent, blood drained by mosquitoes and liquid loss to toilet across the road at the petrol station.

Same day open to public also not for existing customer first ?
why EW not do like other developer eg YTL, repeater customer have privilege let say one day before open to public choose first

I rather dont be like YTL since this is pioneer batch of precincts. Bcz if all majority units purchase by repeat buyers, the occupancy rates would be very low upon VP.

Haha. Yalor, wasted my cousin effort to que for 22x70, end up with 20x70. Lol

No choice loh bro.

But for terrace houses, I very much prefer first come first serve project. If ballot, those 25-30 yo might unable to compete with taikors here & there, who can insert 10-50 cheques to ballot the units esp price range below RM 700-800k.

Those really keen to buy for own stay, will really willing to sacrifice the time and que for the unit. Btw, the process also enhance the number of own stay buyers upon completion of early precincts of 1,2 & 8 but 3 ( bungalow land ) definitely take longer time.

True also.. like that no choice have to overnight there to get desire unit lo

Taikors can also insert 10-50 bangalas to queue instead of cheques for balloting. Probably even queue few days before (I&P had that incidents). Those who are really keen on buying will have no match to taikors, let alone queuing themselves. I am sure veteran taikors know the strategy and even past contacts for queue service to repeat the same.

The fact is that developers like this strategy to make it look like its hot selling. Queue creates news, at the hardship expense of real buyers.

During SPS Eco Glades days, they made sure bankers are there to verify your qualification for mortgage. That is the pre-requisite before even the chance to ballot, only then satu balloting seat given. Throwing 10-50 cheques won't happen.

Boss, if the project is too hot, be it first come first serve or balloting, sure there are plenty of disappointment.

See Bdr Rimbayu, last year ballot process, damm a lot of ppl disappointed of unable to take even 1 for investment. Some investors even shout at the GM and emcee. My friends and I total more than 30 cheques but kena none

But ballot also see and which projects. If ballot 100 units but only 50 purchasers, the dev also damm malu. I think it happened earlier this year.

I like the idea of immediate launch announcement, surrounding folks or potential own stay buyers really keen to take leave / MC immediately and go. This sudden SMS or announcement really scared off a lot of investors or reduce them. Setia Eco Hill last year done quite well.

Anyway, I am fine with both process. But i just prefer FCFS, I have no luck on balloting.

Btw, I hope some developers are able to launch it and allow the first time buyer to buy first and others on the next day. Of coz, this process also need the help of bankers participate and process the loan first a week or tei earlier.

Can one, Merrydale is 581 units, sure got loan rejected but of coz must follow up closely too.

As long as intermediate or not too choosy like me, sure can. Lol.

If specific only want end lot or corner lot, or No 8, 28, or must beside garden or etc, then susah loh.

Btw, just left EMSO and take a round at SEH and near EM site.

Took me 35km from EMSO to Sunway Pyramid, starts 5.10pm and reached Pyramid at 5.35, quite smooth. Along Silk, looks a lot of cars but no jam.

wow...so fast??boss u use farrari??

That sms method was seen at ecocheras. Sms the night before. The next day it's packed like sardines at sales office. If I m in Singapore that weekend and they do this, I would not only give them the finger but all ten fingers

Hello Neighbours,

Please enlighten me. Which one should i go for?

A) Take loan only. Bank give BLR-2.45%
B) Take loan & MRTA. Bank give BLR-2.5%

I've booked Cluster 2C.

Thanks.

Did the survey lately, just sharing.
Citi bank blr-2.5, no mrta, no monthly charges, but max 89% and underwriting is strict, locking period not sure
Hong leong blr-2.5, no mrta, but with monthly charges and 3 year locking
Above are best so far, with full flex.

If don't mind Islamic loan, Hong leong semi flex, blr-2.5, no mrta, no locking.

Congrats for your purchase.
Do you intend to buy it for investment? Given that MRTA is non-transferable, it is not worth to have MRTA if you intend to sell your unit in the future. It's advisable to have adequate life insurance coverage to get prepared in case any unfortunate event happens but MRTA is not the only option. Instead you can consider other life insurance package and some are with appealing projected investment return. So, the "loss" due to higher loan spread may be partly compensated by the expected return from the funds invested under the insurance package.

Also there are some banks that may be willing to offer BLR-2.50% without the MRTA condition but it depends on the loan amount too. Not sure which bank you got the offer and which other banks you have explored.

Other than the loan pricing, I assume you have considered other loan features as well.

Normally I spent about 40-45 minutes, drive not that fast anyway. Max 110-120 km/h.

But today although heavy rain in Semenyih, quite smooth, just took me 25 min and no rain via Silk, Sg. Besi highway, Kesas and LDP. If Ferrari, I think 10-15min reach dy given the traffic condition today.

Great size of Tenderloin.

IMHO, if investment, both also good. If own stay, I go for Package B and take the opportunity to finance the MRTA / MLTA for a peace of mind.

In fact, I already my interest rate for this EM...old oredy

Old? Your avatar give me an impression that you are under pok pok chui category

Ferrari drive so fast 5 min can reach nirvana already U guys buying SEH, EM not NV leh dont invest wrong place
