Potential Issues

1. High Tension Cable
There is a power transmission line or high tension cables (HTC) running parallel to Sofiya Residensi (About 250 to 300 meters away). While most healthcare organisations/goverment agencies would say that HTC does not pose a thread to human health, there have been sporadic reports of cancer/health problems being related to staying/working near HTCs. <To be expanded further>


2. Parking
There is only 1 car park per unit, which is ridiculously inadequate in Malaysia's car dependent lifestyle. There is also no nearby public transportation available in DPC. While you can purchase parking from the developer, there is only very limited parking bays to do so.

3. Non Muslim Majority Area
Kepong and by extension DPC is a chinese majority area. This might or might not be an issue, but i think it would be important for our Muslim friends to know. Halal food might be hard to come by. (If peeps can help clarify....)
[attachmentid=9243010]

4. Dog Friendly Community
Desa Park City is a dog friendly development. Parks and even the shopping mall allows the presence of doggies. This should be something PPA1M applicants should understand before applying for Sofiya. However, West Park, the park nearest to Sofiya is a pet free park.

The other thread is bashing government servant. So sad

Already have existing thread

PS not me who report FYI

This post has been edited by nexona88: Oct 13 2017, 02:08 PM

I understand that... but to be honest that thread is more about discussing the impact of ppa1m on desa park than it is a place to share info that is helpful to ppa1m peeps.

if there is a right procedure to do this please let me know..

im commited to updating the first page with uptodate info until launch, which the current thread is not doing.

and to be frank everybody is entitled to their thoughts and opinions if dpcians need a place to rant that thread seem sgood... but having to dig thru so much negativity for bits of disjointed info seems to be a real hassle.

I wonder if the extra car park fees can be parked under house loan...? If can then it's a definite must to buy. Can rent out to other people as well

Agreed. if want own stay 2 cp is bare minimum. Not sure if there is a limit to how many cp a person can buy la haha

Soalan lazim ada di sini https://www.ppa1m.gov.my/application/questions

Potongan pinjaman atau bayaran bulanan akan mula dipotong oleh pihak pembiayaan selepas pemilik menerima CCC.

Meaning once the house is completely done only the loan kicks in?

Betul. Bayaran ansuran Mula Selepas terima kunci rumah! Salam

also mean that you can sign spa and settle just the 10% amount and apply loan 2-3 years later before CCC. correct? since there is no progressive payment like other undercon project.

Model lai liao


Attached thumbnail(s)

Gov servants by all means apply saja. Ntg to lose. Just stay dpc & hold for 10yrs then easy money masuk kocek.

Combined income of 3 to 3.5k should be able to serve the loan quite comfortably already, provided no other commitment.

Not sure how about the mechanics of PPA1M financing. Also if I read correctly it's only 2% down payment not 10%

Harga rumah yang dijualkan kepada penjawat awam ditetapkan di antara RM90,000 hingga RM300,000 seunit selepas ditolak subsidi yang diberikan Kerajaan. Nilai subsidi yang diberikan adalah sehingga 25% daripada harga sebenar / harga pasaran

Meaning the 'actual' value is not that high eh

Memang. It's the cost of your 'address' that makes up the bulk of the housing cost.

As far as i read, it says 2% on signing SPA, remaining 8% within 2 months, and the rest of the 90% after CCC released. that's really good, got few years to prepare. lol.

PPA1M usual price is RM220k for 1000sf, RM260k for 1200sf and RM300k for 1500sf
This project is RM300k for 860sf

Yes. Not one shot pain. Syukur kerajaan berperihatin.

Hopefully true won't skim on the construction and condo management.

Alot of money needed to own this property. Need standby Rm30k ++. No rebate also given. By hook or by crook, must standby the money. Once in a lifetime opportunity 😊

Additional Info.

just double check with SA, not all units can buy parking. which unit can buy is random apparently. Max of 1 extra unit only.

assuming can choose unit, which is the best then?

320k possible with extra 1CP. meaning that to get additional CP is at 20k.

ac ledge should be at balcony beside the sliding door. there is a lot of wall space for ac compressors.

Damn it looks really good. Got the intercom to security guard post some more. This month I need to do hardcore charity liao

Haha all the best!

The balloting will be split into different tiers

For example: tier 1 buyer is gaji pokok less than rm10k, first time home buyer.
Tier 2 gaji pokok less than rm10k, not first home... etc

I dont know what is the exact tiering but it should be something like this

D: means got separate quota for different tiers ah? should just reserve all quotas for first home buyers lahhhh

Haha.. i would assume tier 1 would have the largest allocation of units la. Dont worry!

Based on what i curi sifu around here... 12 to 16 and 1 to 3 seem best. But sifus here should know wayyy more.

I guess it does limit extra cp to one only then :/

lol, I wonder how long it will take after date line to know successful ballot or not

If based on PR1MA you will know few hours after they do the balloting

____________

Anybody knows if we can pay down payment by cc?

but when will they ballot

One month after the closing date

lol all wait lottery

Just emailed their CS to check what happens if someone who got the property resigns as a civil servant after a few years.

If im not mistaken you can keep the property without any problems (Since they also offer to kontrak peeps...) but yeah would be good to have an official answer.

Terbaik ni, congrats pada yang layak apply

ini tak baik (for melayu or bumiputra), kalau i melayu i akan terus ambik ppa1m sentul OR BUKIT JALIL, no questions, full condo faci, 1000sqf. Here got many Anjing wow wow bark bark wow wow wow wow doge free place for dog to roam around i wouln't wanna go near them because my religion forbid me to go near them touch nor see them, and here also sell much pork chop very little place for me to makan my nasi melayu unless i cook myself, surrounding area outside desa park city kepong also many many babi, even nasi lemak babi also got at kepong. damn.

haha u sarcasm or what?i membesar di kepong sejak kecil..no issue at all..bab kesucian kena pandai2 lah jaga..sama juga dgn pilihan restoran yang ada..byk je makanan halal kat kepong/jinjang

yup and I was trying to be sarcastic

haha bro hi5. those grow up in kepong punya melayu can accept, those others from other place come to kepong find it hard to accept (based on true story) they curse to me complain kepong. say rather stay in sentul compared there

Boss u ll likey it la. 😬😬😬

Manyak kawan kawan melayu ku makan kat pork free lard free restaurants with me. My melayu clients oso same. Lepas makan kami kadang maciam pak toh jalan kat park tok kok jenguk jenguk laki macho sama suigal.

Ya I tau aku ni dosa kit intai intai amoi ciantek when I hav my sui wifey at home. Tapi I blif dosa ni taklah teruk sangat kot. 🤣🤣🤣

So as long not extremist I blif all ll live harmoniously in kaptong la. Happy hunting my future neighbour 👏👏👏

Not just food, Turns out dpc west park actually dont allow dogs/pets. So muslims also got a park to play at without doggies.

Applied together with relatives and it is quite a friendly portal to use.

"Rumah akan tetap menjadi milik tuan dan moratorium 10 tahun akan tetap berjalan sekiranya tuan letak jawatan dari perkhidmatan kerajaan."

Reply from PPA1M

Apa nombor giliran u?

380++

In that case i will ask my malay friends and relatives to apply here so that we can have better n balanced community

Hmm my wife is gov servant, currently there is no any property, housing loan under her name.
Does she layak to apply?

Why PPA1M built on Malay Reserve Land? Arent PP1RM is for all government servants? Less important people stand one side or still can apply?

This one? JPM/210-6/5/12/14-483

This post has been edited by amirbashah: Oct 28 2017, 11:55 PM

Yeah if your application date is 10/10, the submission number of #210 resembles the queue on that day. Good luck.

The number is actually the department/agency code since all my previous applications showed the same number.

If like this?

JPM/220-6/5/14/13-120

It is 483 for ur case.

Refer to the last index.

120

Just submitted application. Already 1000 plus the number. Good luck to all. The competition is tough. I wander how they determine most qualified person to get the unit here.

Edited: for PPA1M Sofiya.

To be honest im not sure if non bumi can apply or not. I doubt so.

all the best! there is a tier based system that they use which takes into account you+ spouse total income, how many properties you already own (you + spouse), how close your current work place to the location.

1000 is about 1X, after a month. I guess it has been slowing down as first 500 happened less than 10 days. Maybe end of closing date will hit 2000. Many of my friends don't seem knowing this as well when I inform them. And other states are not really interested. The chance is there, good luck.

Shhhhh don't need inform them if they are ignorant

Hahaha!! Hmm.. probably just those very close person.. hope the counts won't become 5X end of day..

I really hope I can get this property. My application for PPA1M Sentul was approved but I turned it down since Sofiya is a better option.

it's a risk

Not many people will have 30k+++ cash saved away to pay the downpayment though. Especially those who already have 1 property. i may be wrong. Later they withdraw from EPF

What risk?

lol I mean risk to reject for this.

You will only have to pay 2% for the down payment if you take a government loan. The money will then be refunded.

is it? thought itsr written there 2% on signing snp. then within 2 months the other 8%

Its ok. Sofia is a better investment than Sentul. You can try apply PPA1M Sentul if you want. It's not highly demanded compared to Sofiya and I think you can easily get that one.

perhaps. bukit jalil better than sentul

If I'm not mistaken the 8% deposit will be funded bt LPPSA or they will give you the 10% deposit once the loan gets approved.

Bukit Jalil is highly dense. At least Sentul has an LRT station nearby. The only booster in Bukit Jalil is a shopping mall near the proposed apartment am I right?

Where did you get this info?

From the website i Read you have to pay 2% first and then the rest 8% in 2 months

Someone from PPA1M.

Bkt jalil is ideal for those working in kl or Putrajaya. DPC too far if transferred to Putrajaya.

For investment not home stay.

Ppa1m should never be treated as investment but for those who need a roof to stay under.

true. but only leftovers for those who have had a property. priority still to first time owners.

lppsa give 100% loan but I guess still have to fork out the 10% first. after the loan released then can claim back I think.

There's a quota for first home owner and for those who have more than 1 property. Of course the government will give priority to those who haven't own a house. Plus there's no clause that prohibit government servants who own more than 1 property to apply for it am I right? Plus you can also apply for RUMAW1P which is solely for first home buyer. Smh.

When the last time u went to BJ? They have many LRT station after Putra Heights extension completed like Awan Besar, Muhibbah, Alam Sutera and Kinrara BK5.

Of course there are several LRT stations in Bukit Jalil. I'm talking about LRT Station near the apartment which I'm not sure there is one.

Funny, are u in gov sector?
99.99% gov servant no KWSP and By LPPSA is 100% loan with the budgrt 2018 even can include lawyer fee. Mean can get 120% loan for House, additional CP, insurance n lawyer fee.

Gov servant don need 10% to buy house.

I live near the proposed project. The nearest LRT station is Alam Sutera. And definitely not walking distance.

If that's the case I think it's a good option as well since it's also near an LRT Station and shopping mall. Any other boosters around the proposed project? The only problem with the property is it is highly dense.

This post has been edited by amirbashah: Oct 30 2017, 03:57 PM

still have to come out money first. based on my reading previously, usually will take more than the usual 3 months to release money even if everything done right. and if there is some problems with documents, u can expect about 1 month before the documents reached u to rectify it. unless of course improvement in red tapes next year.
