Sifus, need your help to clarify since I do not know enough about this topic.
I have a condo that was completed early this month. VP letters were issued and I took the keys. When we entered the property, we learned that the water and electricity meters were yet to be installed. They said it will take another 1-2 weeks (from last week).
My aunt who is a lawyer but not really specialising in construction said that from what she recalls, you're not supposed to VP without electricity and water meters.
However, I have checked the CCC requirements and it does not require electrical and water meters to be installed. So can the property be VP'd without these?
Just to clarify, the internal piping itself is ready. They connected water through the common facilities and the supply works. My only issue is on the meters themselves which means I cannot actually apply for water from Syabas or electricity from TNB.
Can the property be VP'd in this state? Is this considered normal or is it an issue? Thanks for any help.

QUOTE(shaniandras2787 @ Aug 4 2016, 12:10 PM) If you go through the agreement carefully, you should come to a clause which states that the developer's obligations in respect of the construction is to ensure that the trucking, piping etc is ready for connection. if the wiring/trunking/piping leading to your parcel is completed then the developer's obligation is fulfilled. Obviously without the water meter installed at the main pipes, there will be no water supply. Have you signed the letter in which states that you have inspected everything and has duly taken vacant possession of the parcel? If so then you may have a bit of problem trying to dispute now. What you should do is to NOT sign that letter and write a formal complaint to the developer and put in record then it is a straight forward claim for late delivery interest. Then again, you can try writing to the developer stating your claims and see what they reply. Threaten them that you will escalate the matter to the housing development ministry if they decided to pull your leg. Keep us updated. What they have done at that time was to install a shunt so that water can still flow but without the meter. So basically the water is from common facilities. They have since last week installed the water meter but the electrical meter is still not installed. Same as for water, they have bypassed the connection so my unit gets electricity from common facility. Electricity meter is still not installed to my knowledge. |
