Can I choose not to sign the consent letter? I choose a freehold individual title property to avoid any other unnecessary cost such as maintenance fees,and it seems that there is a maintenance fees of some sorts in Elmina. Why ya?

For example, in Selangor, the Housing and Property Board and the local authorities allow guard houses to be built based on certain guidelines amongst which include:-

· Applications made through the Resident Association (RA) only;
· Consent by 85% of the residents;
· Agreement must be made between RA and local authority;
· Guard house without a barrier are allowed and the location should not obstruct traffic (situated at
road shoulder only);
· A written consent from Local Authority and Land Administrator (LA) for the construction of guard
house on reserved road/vacant land must first be obtained;
· Appointed security guards must be registered with Ministry of Home Affairs or with other relevant
agencies;

The authorities do sometimes “turn a blind eye” to allow some form of limited barriers so long as it is backed by an overwhelming support of the local residents and it does not deny access nor unduly obstruct traffic.

Based on what SDP briefed us the last Residents' Engagement, they are building us the gates and the guard house. Very nice looking ones at that. Once the min % that MBSA needs to setup the RA, then SDP will build the gates and guard house.

The gates and guard houses that has met the min number are in Elmina Gardens are already up. Anyone can driving past can see they are proper gates and guard houses. Not the contena type ones.

Pics attached are from SDP's Residents' Engagement (16 Mar 2019) for Viana, Semanea Hills & Elmina Green residents.

Proposed Elmina Green gate & guard house

Went with my friend to visit EV4 last month since she wanted to buy a new house.
I would say the quality is not bad.
I noticed something about this Elmina project where most of the unit were sapu by Sime Darby Staff itself with huge discount.
Imagine when they buy the units with extra 10 to 14% staff discount + bumi discount 7% + whatever rebate at the time and yet they are selling above SPA price.
Anyhow i think is fine if is market driven " willing buyer willing seller"

However something very special I've noticed is where somehow a fake demand were created. For instant my friend selected an unit in EV4 by offering slightly less than asking price (Let say asking price was 850k, she offered 830k (SPA price probably 800k nett price maybe like 730). Agent told her that that unit already offered by someone for 850k. Two three weeks later agent call her back to ask if she is still interested with unit.

Quite a lot of flipper at Elmina project and it seems agent created a fake demand saying that units were selling fast in subsale.
Not sure the price reflects market sentiment or it is just temporary.

Did SD staff turn their marketing to youtube as well? I youtube Elmina and noted that majority of the video is done by 1 youtuber. Probably after VP, and is time for someone to promote Elmina.

Overall EV side not bad but Elmina Garden seems dead to me even though it is higher end compared to the rest.

for elmina as a whole... its quite sad that they keep selling on DASH but the accessibility to DASH is not really that convenient to most of Elmina township... in the end the highway just kinda passby Elmina as a whole...

denai alam i think also past of their elmina masterplan... correct me if im wrong... so the DASH selling point been using til now and only denai alam is accessible... lol

For this part of north KV, I think here is the closest new township you can get to MRT or LRT. Want nearer have to go to Temasya Glenmarie,  Ara Damansara town.

Agree. But at this  point of time no landed house in Kwasa yet.
