Many thanks.

If u go to their official websites, actually u can see they actually got 3 types. And yes, i went for the 4 rooms type. Car park last year when they launch, they actually did gave 1 free car parks, but this year when i went to visit the showroom again, they actually take out the car park. But i still go and purchase 2 car park with RM 12K /car park. And the carpark is side by side, so easier for both me and my gf.

And i did ask about the bus stop as well. Yes, agree with you, don see any bus stop there yet. But i am sure they gonna build 1 in future. And this place is also quite near to TARC. But, 1 thing bad about Wangsa Maju Condos are, they can't stay for long terms. Too many students and vadalism sure will happen. So, is very hard to maintain the condo there.

But, for short terms plan, i think still okie to go for it ... (personal feelings).

hehe

Yea, now this is my worries also lar ... have to wait 3 years leh ... such a long way to go ....

hahaa ... that's why i said for young ppl like us, we still dare to take the risk lar. Go stay there for few years, suffer a bit lo ... have to jam here n there but after that, i think the market to rent out to TARC students is there. But if we go for other places, it is a bit hard to rent out i guess (personl thoughts).

But, i can assume the condo that i bought will turn into mosnter in next 5 - 10 years time lar ... Just look at Alpha Condo behind BRJ !!! ... That place is like hell. hahahaa .... But still ... A lot of ppl renting, but u just hardly see family will be staying there. All moved out already and rent out the unit to students lo ...

And yes, The last unit i bought with 4 rooms and also KLCC view. But too bad lar ... Those nice unit like KLCC + swimming pool view + 4 rooms all sold out already.

Hmm ... A lot of PJ ppl will go against wangsa maju. Including my own bro ... ... The first moment i told him, Hey koko, i bought a house .. In Wangsa Maju. His face "WHY WANGSA MAJU"!! Then after a while explaining to him, i think he some how agrees with me ....

But I have been staying at that area for almost 6 years. Yes, alot of things we have to accept, such as Jam, Vandalism, Too high density & etc & etc ... but, i really cannot think of any place in KL that is no Jam .... And with the price i paid, we just have to give and take lar ... that's what i can say ....

RM 200K can get in PJ area??? How many sf?? 900+ sf?

ic ic ... 900sf is okie for a small family (I mean those who just started their family). But for my case, i can't fit into a condo which less than 4 rooms ... I have my parents, i have my gf's parents that will come down to KL quite often ... so, i need to plan ahead for this kind of things to happens lo ...
later they said ... wah not fair ... u plan for ur own parents only ... then i die lar ... hahaha ...
And also my gf's sis might be staying with us in future lar ... She is studying in TARC ....

I do consider in PJ area .... but .... really super hard to get one there ...

totally agree ... .... as we said ... gf .... haha ... not wife ... if wife then okie, we can share share. But in fact my gf is share sharing with me ... She will be helping me to pay part of the instalment monthly ... hehe ...

but recently did u noticed that during morning, the jam isn't that bad compared to last time anymore ... i mean along jalan genting klang ... last time if we go out around 8am ... sure kena jam at least 30-45 mins from Pizza hut till bulatan pahang ... but now, i can say it is very smooth .... at least for the passed few weeks ... i came out around 8:30 am ... and i reached my office at damandara heights at 9am sharp ... quite okie lo ...

and food ... hmm ... actually 1 thing i don like about wangsa maju is because of the food also .... don u feel that the food there is a bit dirty?? haha ... they really prepare the food in a bulk one leh .... macam prepare for pig farms punya piggy makan .... hahahaa .... but i don care so much lar ... i still eat the chap farn there sometimes .... dirty also dirty leow lar ....

p/s: and if u noticed the rats running across the streets ... some even look like a teenage cat ... hahahaha ... soooo big size ....

i think that road is new road to gombak and sentul ...
alternate root to go out wangsa maju is a few ... but i can say everywhere also jam one .... so go another alternate road also will jam .. same thing .. hehe

hahaa ... actually no much different if we go out early when the place started to get jam ...
but so far my current company still quite flexible lar ... they don really track what time i reached office ... so still ok .... dono about future job ... haha ...

p/s: seems like both of us is talking here only .. hehe

hahaa ... nvm leow lar ... too lazy to follow up on this forum all the times. I just need some advice and opinions from experienced ppl so that at least we have more knowledge to digest before making any serious decisions ....

hmm ... may i ask when did u signed the S&P? According to the salesgirl, 3 years after u signed the S&P. So, mine i just signed 2 weeks ago, and so, they are telling me 3 years from now which is early 2010 lo ....

But, a quick question to u as well. Since u sudah signed the S&P. Did they requested u to sign the S&P twice? Because i had already signed the first time but they never even listed any facilities that they had. So, the lawyer said they going to process another S&P and i will need to go and signed it again then only i can use that S&P to apply for EPF. So, basically, now everything i paid for the downpayment came from my pocket money. I was a little bit confused as well. But, I don't wanted to think so much about that for now. I have something else that need my attentions. So, i just wait until the developer call me back.

nope ... even phase 1 is not completed yet. We are talking about phase II now which i think be completed in another 3 years time.

Oh, i just went to signed the Loan Agreement and the lawyar said kena wait for another few more weeks only will get my S&P ar? Why have to wait so long one? And also i have to pay RM 598 for all those stamping fees? Is this correct?

ohh okok ... let me know whether u pay anything after u signed the loan agreement. Coz now i signed the loan agreement jor .... and then they said they gonna process my S&P then only will apply for EPF too ...

ohh ... okok ... hmm ... i will follow up again by end of this week. Coz i m very new to all this kind of thing ... hehe

Just got a phone call from the developer today .... Going to collect my S&P soon.
Then later on going to process my EPF already ...
Any news for others?

yea ... finally, got my original s&p but will need to return the original copies to the lawyer after we settle the EPF.

And, yesterday went to EPF office. You need to prepare the things like:-

- Fill up the form from EPF office
- Photocopy of ur IC
- Photocopy of ur Loan Approval + Original (they need to certified)
- Your Bank statement / Photocopy of the passbook if u have (Remember to get it certified it if is photocopy bank statement)
- Original of ur s&p and also lawyer will photocopy a set of s&p and certified it for you if u had informed them earlier that u gonna apply for EPF.

I think that's all lo ... EPF asked me to wait for 4-6 weeks for the money to bankin to my account. Just worried they might delay. Coz developer only give us 4 weeks to apply EPF. If EPF delay, then i will need to use my own money to pay the balance of the downpayment already ....

sigh ....

hahaa ... yea ... indeed i m very happy now ... and i m focusing everything on the future thing such as furnitures and renovations. You can see other thread related to renovations and furnitures that posted. hehe ... i do participate there ....

2 years is pretty long way to go actually ... but i think i better don expect anything earlier than mid of 2009 leow ... But when i saw the phase 1 constructions ... i just hope it was phase 2 lar .... hahaa ... can't wait anymore ....

u better keep chasing ur developer leh ... but i never follow up with my salesgirl ... she called me herself one ... quite efficient ... mind if i asked who serve u? sometimes i think it is because of ur bank also??

and yes ... i don have to pay any legal fees for the bank as well as the developer ... i just paid around RM 600 for the stamping fees ...

welcome welcome ... haha ... when is ur house gonna complete? if u come across any nice informations about the renovations pls pls pls share k?

hehe ...

okie ... EPF very easy to calculate lo ... Normally EPF can withdraw full amount (10%) of our house downpayment from our Account II. So, depends how much u have in ur Account II lo. You can go to www.kwsp.gov.my to read for more details ...

and btw ... pls don't delay ur time to go EPF office. Coz developer only give us 4 weeks to apply for EPF and normally EPF will took 4-6 weeks to process ar ... if EPF pay us late then u need to use ur own money to pay for the Downpayment leow ... ...

lol .... take it easy ... don forget we are living in malaysia ... MALAYSIA BOLEH !!! ... even with the 600 Million smart link .... KL CITY STILL FLOODING !!! ... hahahaa .... MEMANG BOLEH !!! .....

hey ... welcome neighbour .... perhaps u can share with us what makes u made the decision buying the house here? apart from the points u listed earlier .... any specific reason?? And which type u bought and which floor? hahaa ... mine is Block B as well dude ... ...

and the main reason i made up my mind is because of the space and price .... i bought the type C and i think the price is reasonable .... And i m quite familiar with Setapak as i stay here for 6 years .... the traffic is terrible ... but still not as terrible as some of the places like ampang & etc ...

Thanks ... finally some supporters here ... hahaa ... at first everyone just say setapak is not worth ... lol
