Hi, just wondering how many people here bought a place at Amansiara II @ Jalan Ipoh as I would like to compare our experience in buying a unit from there.

Also if there is any comments in regards to the matter it would be nice to have feedback as we feel there is something strange with their dealings although we are not sure as it's my first property with my gf.

1) Would like to know if anyone noticed that there was no common property stated in the Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) - The fifth schedule I think. We did approach the management about it but was giving the run-around until we got fed up and just signed the SPA.

We tried asking them to insert the Common Facilities as below:
BADMINTON COURT
SWIMMING POOL
CHILDREN PLAYGROUND
24X7 SECURITY
LANDSCAPED GARDEN
CCTV MONITORING
BARBEQUE AREA
CAR PARK
BROADBAND COMMUNITY NETWORK
GYMNASIUM

The common facilities in the brochure should be put into the SPA like any other developer.
NOTE: They extended the timeline for us to sign the SPA but the manager that could answer our queries was overseas until after that particular timeline, forcing us to sign the document before we can get an answer from them. My gf and I got a bit fed up and therefore signed the SPA although there was no addition Common Facilities. (AKA the Common Facilities is NIL)

2) Also as we took a 80% loan, I got a letter from Leadmont about the Balance Sum Payable and it was worded to sound like they would like us to pay up the balance as soon as possible and they will incur a 10% penalty if we do not pay, although after reading the letter again and talking to the developer side the state that it's just a notice and not a demand for instalment payment.
- For those who took the 80% loan, did you receive the letter too?
- Fro those who took a 90% loan, did they send the signed certificate of the architect or engineer that the  groundwork was finished?

3) Also in the conversation the developer stated that the building will be built from top to bottom and not the other way round, is that a normal occurrence? My gf and I feel that this is not normal but like to seek clarification from anyone who knows about this matter before we claim that they are trying to cheat us by asking the bank to release the money to them earlier.

4) I would also like to know if there is any resident committee available for the Amansiara housing area?
If there is would anybody be so kind to point us to the direction (phone number / e-mail / website)
If there isn't, would anybody be interested to start one? If there is anything please do PM me to get an e-mail address so we can correspond further.

Sorry for the long winded post but we are starting to feel a bit disgruntled with the developer giving us a hard time and thank you in advance for posting and reading this post....

Thank you again.

Hi,

I bought one unit there, this is my first house. One thing I like is the environment over there. Hope that I won't get cheated on the facilities.

Yeah, I bought phase 2. 371A.The common facilities is not listed in S&P, but I can see that they listed down the maintenance fee for the Club house as well as Guard House. If this developer doesn't build this facilities, I think I still satisfy with the environment. It is a good place for me to relax after work.

Well all show house is like that, as I said earlier its a marketing ploy, so you need to have some knowledge to query them. Once I asked a sales girl regarding a housing unit until she dunno how to answer me.
It's difficult to compare show room & actual unit as the show room unit ID cost alone cost more than double the unit cost.

BTW if you ever need renovation or ID, feel free to PM me.
Talam is infamous for their shoddy project as they pay peanuts so get low quality product from their contractor. If not mistaken, some of their project stop halfway, cashflow problem. Thought they are being takeover by some other company? 

That's great, nice to meet you here.

I just found out that the interior material is very different from the show house, like the toilet's door, actually the original one is the PVC one but not the wooden one as show in the show house. A little bit disappointed on that. When you visit the show house, you will find that there is no door for all room and also that you try to imagine to put on a door in the master room, there is very little space to put a door on that place.

I will need at least RM50K for renovation, in fact, RM50K shouldn't be enough.

Where is TALAM Project? Ya, the price of phase III is much higher, it is just the outlook of the house is nicer, inside still the same. Hope that we can be neighbour la.

Actually I heard a lot of bad thing about this development from other people. But I still make my own decision, when I go to the site where they build phase I, really feel nice that I can stay so high up on the hill. Hope that I can go in to have a look at the real environment.

I'm staying in Sri Gombak, not far from Amansiara. I'm working in Bandar Sri Damansara, near Kepong. Who knows one day I might move to another company. You working in Cheras ar, which part of Cheras? . Where are you staying currently? I have a colleagues staying in Puchong and Shah Alam coming to work in kepong. 

I see, it will be a lot of disadvantages for you to buy Amansiara. wish your all the best!
