Do you know for highrise building the strongest structures is lift core?

Strongest structure meaning the wall thick enough and barely hear the sound from elevator.

Elevator motor usually operate in rooftop machine room.

For your query, they are using KONE elevators, smoother ride with lesser vibration and noise https://www.kone.my/Images/brochure-kone-el...tcm94-18863.pdf

If you curious about the ability of their professional project management team you should contact them directly as I believe no one in this low tat forum can provide you a satisfying answer.

There will be no ending to questions like this. Pipu can also.question the quality of the screw used for the lift.

Suggest to do site visit to experience the quality of the lift installed. I can say the lifts r all working well, operating smoothly.in fact no noise even for the unit sharing wall with lift core.

For those who bought there’s nothing to do but focus on the positive aspects. Crying won’t help and waste time, they have to wait and if they make paper profit in future all the crying and stress earlier on wasn’t worth it. Not everyone is lucky especially buying multiple properties and each one appreciate at the rate they expected. Those who can get at 700k and the area works for them i would think it’s great.

Malaysia property market is very funny, further away city centre like subang pj value can sell more higher than those close to city centre..in sg those close to raffles, marina bay definitely won sell cheaper than Pasir Ris or Woodlands

Live life to the fullest.. only happen once..sometime ppl say follow your heart instead of brain

People following hearts = divorce rate 40-50% globally.

If apply the same mindset in investments....might as well hit the casino.

Developer's greed or being over-ambitious about an area's potential when they priced their projects.

I recall AskarPerang mentioned that completed sub-sale properties in Ara Damansara are currently undergoing a price correction when most of those developers are selling them at around RM 8xx/sf and above during their launch.

The Fennel will take time to improve, as with all condominiums..

JMB was just formed recently. Occupancy is fine as it is as many units are not even renovated. YTL throwing prices sucks, but those units are less desirable anyway as they're right next to the LRT track and temples. Both gyms have always been busy after working hours.

Sentul East & West is by YTL and way better located and planned than other projects deep inside Sentul Pasar or on the other side of the LRT track.

Not much point entertaining keyboard warriors that comment on almost every topic to increase their post count. Pretty clear that they have no idea what is going on nor ever went on a site visit on the properties they comment on, maybe one or two lol..

Just had a good laugh at an idiot who created a topic trying to buy a 1000sqft-ish KLCC view unit at the Capers for under 700k when there's no such thing.

Too many people's mind poisoned by Rich Dad Poor Dad......

If you buy a house beyond your means to stay... obviously u r spending too much and it becomes a burden on your cash flow

If you buy within your budget and not stay above your affordability , you r paying the rental to yourself...

Anyway, big or small , cash or loan, positive or negative cash flows... props are assets

As long as you hold it, it's still an asset even thought it's value dropped below your purchase price.

It's only becoming net liability when you sold it below your housing loan value.

pls read what I wrote here properly and go back to accounting basis for refreshment course.

am neither accounting lecturer nor school teacher.

smart is good but smart ass is not.

Try to digest the old news

Mayb they dun understand the reputation to their supporters is de most valuable asset, no others

People don't think before buying, they don't have the right questions. All impulse purchase. 

This is the most important part. 2015 was the tail end of property hoorah and now it's the downturn.

We don't know when's the next hoorah coming but it won't be in the next 5 years. Bank Negara planning to lower interest rates this year -another sign of contraction. Things will only get worse for property this year, and the developers KNOW IT.

2020-2022 are the next best BBB opportunity. But most people will be scared as usual because prices will be dropping fast AKA "property is no longer a good investment."

When you see condos mushrooming up like crazy it's time to get scared, and this trend began in 2011. Now the tide is going down and we will see all those people in the sea who are actually naked (aka no funds to hold).

First two blocks of YTL’s Fennel in Sentul East sell out within two days
Posted on July 22, 2013  | 15366 views |  Topic : Featured, Property News.

Punters booked places in queue from night before with shoes and pieces of paper; at sales board, they were given exactly one minute on a timer to decide which unit to purchase.
Buyers queued from 6:30am to get the first pick of The Fennel units.

The first two blocks of YTL Land & Development Bhd’s The Fennel condominium tower units were sold out on day-two of its preview, announced the developer, after its preview last weekend.

Friday’s preview which promised a “first release” was open to VIPs and staff while the following days were open to previous buyers and registrants, which numbered 5,000.

The Fennel consists of four blocks of 38-storey condos situated at Sentul East with a total of 916 units ranging from 1,000 sq ft to 1,500 sq ft. Early indications of pricing were quoted at minimum RM650 per sq ft while YTL’s report said that the units were priced at RM700 per sq ft. The booking fee was RM30,000, which is refunded (minus 10% administrative charges) if the loan is not approved.

Project manager Y. T. Chee, who took one day of leave from work to accompany his friend to Friday’s preview, describes a hectic atmosphere.

“People queued up from 7am and each person was given one sheet of paper to buy one property, and to bring one guest with them,” he said. “The doors opened at 10.30am, and two lines were formed: one for staff, and one for VIPs.”

​
Some punters had begun staking out their places from the night before.

“Both lines were allowed to go in in groups of five, at which buyers were given briefings. At the sales board, each buyer was given exactly one minute to decide which unit they wanted to purchase,” said Chee, adding that buyers were even timed with a timer!

“‘Time starts now,’ they said. If you didn’t decide within one minute, you were asked to give way to the next person in the queue,” he says.

Speaking of the public preview which started from last Saturday, YTL Land & Development Berhad executive director Dato’ Yeoh Seok Kian said: “People were queuing from 6.30am at the YTL Land’s sales office in Starhill Gallery. We expected a huge turnout based on how fast The Capers was snapped up at its launch, but the response for The Fennel is even greater!”

The queue which started from the entrance of YTL Land’s Sales office snaked round the entire Relish floor at Starhill Gallery.

In fact, some punters had begun staking out their places from the night before on plastic stools that had been set up for the preview, according to Mr Y of PropertyWTF.com.my, who attended Friday’s preview. “Many of them had to be shooed off and they left shoes and A4 papers to mark their territory!”

Chee, who had attended Friday’s preview, also returned on early Saturday morning at about 2.30am to buy another unit for his friend who lives overseas. “I saw people with sleeping bags and pillows there. They had devised their own system, where they put up number on sheets of paper to put on the stools,” he said.

Chee was rewarded for his diligence by getting a three-room 1,186 sq ft apartment within the first block for about RM820,000. A similar unit would have cost about RM50,000 more in the second block, he says.

"rewarded for his diligence" lol the same type of unit is now going for about 700K on mudah/iproperty.

Next year probably 600K.

Most people refuse to acknowledge the facts. Just because we had a massive bull run between 2009 and 2012 does not mean every year was going to be the same. 2013/2014 was the worst time to buy property since a big correction was due.

I stayed away from buying property after 2012, since rental was already decreasing even though property value continued shooting up. Not to mention condos mushrooming out like nobodies business.

But this year onward is a good time to look again since many subsale owners will start regretting their purchases.

Many potential buyers are still riding the hype, even auction units can go for mid 600s now. Which is why we need to give everyone time to wise up, once they see the price dropping steadily they will realize the launch price was a complete scam. Then they will want to let go units in the 600s, good time to buy then.

That's my point, we are going to see many distressed owners the next 2-3 years. Thanks to so many over-inflated developments just completed last year and 2017, many owners will realize the rentals they were hoping for is no longer reality.

We had a massive bull run between 2009 and 2013....and the developers rode on that hype and scammed a whole lot of people the past 3 years with crazy prices and profited. Now the owners will find they're holding assets worth much below selling price.

Hi All,

I am a new owner of fennel here. Just collected my key on last month, got lots of defects. Reported to defect office but been told that need 40 days to fix all the defects.

Any new owner encountered similar situation ?

1. water heater not functioning (All 3 rooms)
2. Lots of scratches all over the living room and glass (both bathroom and lanai)
3. Entrance door latch loosen, couldn't lock properly (Fixed within two weeks)
4. Door body got peel off terribly (Fixed within two weeks)
5. Sliding door could not be lock (master room)
6. Water leaking from bathroom , can spot the water mark on living room's wall
7. All rooms are having hollow floor, uneven. Stepping on certain spot can see the bulge and "pop" sound from the planks.

Am i the only unlucky fellow here..... 

Sigh, the staff from defect office is not that efficient, one of them don't even want to admit to the no.7 defect.....
