Just sharing, I'd just went to check up subsale at a 22x75 lot in SA, a large portion of those houses' platform already sunk in by 1 to 2 inches (observed from the back of houses), and I suspect a lot of them are possibly bought by flippers judging from the sales ad. Really good luck to their subsales..... Originally thought of buying one if can get it much below than market price for own stay.....now.....only will consider those unaffected with a super heavy price slash.

Should be the newer ones, heard agent said just took keys for 3 - 5 months....

I think only less than 15% got ppl stay at those few rows now....

So how is the developer going to do about it? Demolish and rebuild from foundation? Or offer another replacement unit at somewhere else?

I can see ppl are starting to cover up the cracks with grey cement d...huhu

Not sure if Presinct 6 affected, but I think it'll be easy for you to drive there and look for yourself. I didn't notice these the first time I visit there, when I go 2nd time with an experienced feng shui master, he told me after he'd done observing.

Can share whats the Feng Shui master's quote about SA?  biggrin.gif

Feng shui really depends on which unit you're looking at and whether it fits you personally or not. So have to depends from case to case. The "problematic" 22X75 I saw is still OK for general ppl but there's another 20x70 unit I saw have some problems with the direction it face, which is not suitable for own-stay for anyone at all. I won't tell you which type of 20x70 it is as I might get murdered by those bunch of sellers, haha. sweat.gif In fact, I might already be in danger now???

Surprised to know that Xylia and Oxandra 22x75 is having crack. I don't think it is due to soil settlement or anything structural, probably just some plastering crack which can be easily fixed. The soil settlement topic in Setia Alam was heavily discussed in Setia Alam forum, where some really great information can be found there. Do check it out before u buy to understand the whole picture. Ya one more info, sp setia is very responsible on thismissue, if anything concerning structural defect, they will fix it for u, even though the defect liability period is over.

Earlier batch of P6 experienced some soil settlement issue as well (some certain units, not all) but the latest one like banyan/tamalan, tristania, tectona etc , never heard anything ...

I got a few photos on the cracks and sunk platform but I ain't gonna share it via post as it will do me no good for doing this. I'm not an expert in structural engineering (I'm a mechanical engineer) even though I'd studied bits of it in my early years, but I don't think those are plastering crack as it is evident if you check the exterior of the house (front and back). But still, not ALL units are affected but just give you guys a heads up to check for those if you're planning to buy as most normal buyers like me won't pay attention to stuffs like that. If developer can be responsible for these, then it'll be great news, but IF it is really soil settlement/foundation problem, I'm curious to know what they can do to fix it..... rebuild?

Alam Impian....if you're staying near Klang right now....maybe considered near....if everywhere else....e.g. PJ/Kepong/Sunway.....it is freakishly far..... just try to drive there yourself..... 800k++ can try to consider G&G superlink 24x80 double storey terrace - Banyan/Tamalan at SA....

I wondering what ran through people's mind when "investing" in those low cost apartments @ premium prices. Own stay nvm la, flip.... how much they targetting to flip for LOW COST apartments? RM350k once VPed? Unless they would wanna hold those units for a long period of time, hoping for the rental to catch up with installment with interest 5-10 years later, if not it really baffles me how they do their math....or did they? I guess the loan tighening policies had shifted entry level "gorengers"/ wannabe gorengers to aim for cheaper properties. Well, maybe I don't have the insight these people got and not deserved to earn humoungous quick bucks, as I'll stick to my portfolio to confinue invest in more matured area.... sorry if offended any tai tai here smile.gif just expressing my opinion to give everyone some food for thought tongue.gif

I think more non-bumi allocation will result in more stable price instead. In the past, when non-bumi allocation is so little, people are more aggresive or eager to get the house, thus, demand mroe than supply, price will increase. IF the 70% allocation can balance the demand slightly better, the price would be more stable and price increase would be more moderate.

Sounds convincing. But my 2cents is, developer wanted to push up price, that's why maintain normal 30% non-bumis in a UPUPUP market (09-11), after price push to peak and having little/no room for further push up and market started to slow down, and new launches no longer be able to sold off during launch, they started to open up non-bumi ratios to induce more sales. Develop wouldn't care to "stabilize" the price (to prevent UP) as their intent is always to maximise the selling price as high as possible.... not to "regulate" their own properties.....

How big is the crack? I thought sp setia quality is not bad?

Better check it out yourself....last time I check (earlier this year).... some corner lots having cracks all over the side wall beside the land.... look at the back of the house.... the base sunk in a few inches (2-5)..... after a few weeks went back, someone already cover the cracks and repainted..... the back also covered the sunk in with cement d (but haven't repaint).... got a few pictures.... but better not post it as some taikor taikor here might kill me for it.... sweat.gif

But still, another area I check is not serious....almost negligible (G&G area) .....
