now can't check sales report le

Went to sales gallery and almost booked 1 week ago. Please take note that it is about 200-400m away from Flora Damansara, look up the place before deciding for own stay.

For investment, I guess it's a good deal if you still can snatch a unit. Last offered was 499k for type A1, need to prepare 5% DP but SA can even offer a loan for that at 0.01%

Price for D Quince and D Vervain will be increased from 7 Sep (Monday) onwards, 900sf and 1,100sf units are still available 📢

Any enquiries can pm me in my WhatsApp 🌞

Hello everyone, I know this is Dquince forum but anyone here proceed to sign the SPA even before obtaining the APDL? Can share the experience? Anything i should be concerned about? Anyone tried to cancel rhe pre SPA before getting the APDL and whether was there any charges inflicted?

For the ones who didnt sign the pre SPA were you able to buy a unit after obtaining the APDL? Was the price increased substantially?

Basically I've booked D erica and now the developer is asking to sign Pre SPA so there are alot.of concerns. Just wanna see the downside of it. Sorry for the long posr!

FYI, I just received the S&P from the developer.
and I actually sign this and paid my down payment by july 2019.
EXISM very pro in delay. that time the agent told me, should be able complete the project by 2023, I think this is just a joke for noe.

Just my own point of view about D Series by EXSIM.

I have been looking for a property to buy with my fiance - getting married next month, and this was one of the places that I considered, as I am currently staying at Kota Damansara and I am very familiar with the area (originally from Damansara Utama, growing up, whole life around that area, and I still remember the times when Bandar Utama was an oil palm plantation and LDP was a 2 lane normal road).

Pros - Very affordable considering current market and property pricing. Very tempting, especially the 270k 2 bedroom LPHS house. If you are below the income limit, grab this. Layout seems decent for the other 3 bedders, and the 5 bedders are......huge. Seriously, at around 700-800k, if you have the money for it, get the biggest size. Though I've been told by the SA that it's all booked, but who knows.

Location, location, location. This is definitely the location to buy if you're looking for either own stay or investment. IKEA, The Curve, Empire, One Utama, MRT, LDP, etc, all within 10-15 min driving. U can even walk out to metropolitan/Empire.

EXSIM seems to be a reputable developer now - their previous condos seems to be good in design/landscape/etc. So again, at it's price point which starts from 270k to 700/800k for the biggest one, it's definitely affordable. Not cheap, but reasonable.

Now, for the cons.

It's EXSIM. EXSIM is relatively new. If you're looking at the 270k price point, then I'd say you're fine to go ahead and try, but when you reach the 700-800k price point, there are far better and more reputable developers to go for. Heck, even at 700-800k price point, I think I'd rather get Arcuz from EXSIM, Arcuz seems to be a more "premium" product from EXSIM. This feels like EXSIM's take on an "affordable/entry" condo. EXSIM hasn't been around long enough to develop a good track record (for me).

Going to around 700k, one could grab some sub-sale condos from Sunway (Cita Damansara in KD, for example, a decent unit is only 600k, whereby Cita Damansara is VERY WELL MAINTAINED, it looks brand new despite being around 20 years old). I know people say you shouldn't compare new vs subsale, but hey, both requires money.

Density. This will be extremely high density. Despite what people say, saying it's 4 different phase, etc, etc, I know the area well. Their piece of land to build that new township/huge project is not that big. It will be packed, considering most of the units would be 3 bedders & 5 bedders. 5 lifts per block serving around 500 units per block seems.....a lot to me.

Access - this will be an issue. Flora damansara is just next door. Literally. If you're buying D'Vervain, D'Quince, D'Cosmos....well, good luck to you. I have a rental unit in Flora damansara that I am currently renting out to others, and I can tell you the traffic from Flora coming down is really bad.

Oh, speaking of Flora, Flora if I were to compare the number of units per block vs number of lifts, would you believe me if I told you flora has a lower number of unit in each block, but with the same number of lift that D series has? Even then, it would take my tenant about half n hour waiting for the lift each way he's going in/out (my tenant stays at the 7th floor, mind you).

Empire - I personally believe that this is a very ambitious undertaking by EXSIM. Was told by the SA that EXSIM has to complete Empire Damansara + build new township for D series + Sky garden covering LDP. My family was previously burned by something not as ambitious as this, so we felt that.....the whole thing was a huge undertaking by EXSIM.

PRICE - Now, don't get me wrong, the price is definitely within the affordable/reasonable range for most people (not cheap), but within this price range (let's exclude the 270k unit) of 500-800k, you have TONS of other options.

Damansara Foresta/Seresta (if you don't mind the toll) is freehold development (with choice of new/subsales), with even better layout and environment compared to D series. MUCH less density, much better crowd, you will be transported to a different environment there.

Subsales - tons of well maintained subsale projects around in the deeper part of KD/Damansara/TTDI/etc, at 500-700k, you have the options to shop around (provided you can fork out the initial 10% DP + fees).

And let's be honest, there's basically 2 group of people/profile that will be looking at this project. Those that can afford the higher range (e.g 600, 700, 800k and above) and those who can afford the lower range of the prices (500k, 270k). To me, this is a good project if your max budget is within the 500k, but for those who are looking at around 600-800k, honestly, there's a lot better options.

Sunway Serene, 3 bedder, 1000+ SQF, after rebates is around 800k~ish? Better developer, nicer location (in my opinion), and hey, it's sunway. Haven't seen any Sunway condo failed in their maintenance before, and they've been around forever.

Just my personal opinion, as I have spent the better part of this month & last month looking at D Series, Arcuz, Foresta, Tropicana Gardens, Sunway Serene, Miyu, etc, etc for my own stay.

Probably going with Sunway Serene. Oh, did I mention Sunway Serene maintenance is 0.26 psf for first 2 years, whereas D series maintenance is 0.38 psf?

Look around, visit all those projects I said (mainly Serene), ask about the layouts, freebies, rebates, etc, and you'll know what to choose.

I chose Serene as Sunway's build quality is definitely a class above EXSIM. Sunway Serene comes in fully furnished & bare unit package, but even the bare unit gets air cond, heater (hidden tank heater, similar to Arcuz), plaster ceiling, etc. Might be more expensive, but seems to be worth it to me.

48 months after APDL, means in 2024. for those interested Click HERE to WhatsApp for sales package & showroom visit (by appointment only due to crowd control)

Can add me too? Thanks

DQuince site progress from Exsimhttps://exsim.com.my/site-progress-dquince/

Because got 5 lift but only 2 working.

Nope, now all 5 lifts working.

Last time only 2 working was even worse.

Im staying there.

Oh, now the lifts are back to being broken? Last time I went there all 5 was working 😅

Good analysis
But many of sunway property is having same issue the ceiling water leaking

Guess the ceiling water leaking is a common issue for apartment/condos, no matter what the developer is. Probably just wear and tear that comes with age to apartment/condo.

Serene is going to be my first sunway property, so let’s see.

sunway loss bid to wistron corp on the fight to buy the land
it will have huge impact to serene master plan

First of all - the WD land is still not confirmed sold, wistron corp is just a rumour for now, just like the rumour that sunway is buying it. There’s been rumours of many corporations wanting to buy the WD land for years now, ever since it was up for sale, but nothing concrete so far. WD wants close to 200m for it, wistron is only offering 150m, doubt that the deal will go through.

There is no official serene master plan, so to speak. The only master plan for serene that is official now, is at the serene and the lake build site. The industrial land that WD is on, and the whole sungai way FTZ zone land was never part of the so called master plan - those are just rumours.

If people are buying serene on the sole hope that sunway would buy WD land, that’s not a good thought. I bought serene well knowing that WD land is still up for grabs and that there’s always a chance that sunway won’t buy it.

And hey, even if sunway buys the WD land, there’s still other factories in the FTZ land, KESM, OMRON, etc.

Only gamblers and risk-takers would assume that serene has a “master plan” to build and develop the whole FTZ land, hahaha. I bought it well knowing and well expecting that the industrial land is going to stay there.

The fact is - serene WILL be next to an industrial zone, even if sunway buys the WD land, as there’s still other factories in the FTZ land.

To me, not a big deal. No property is perfect, and the industrial land next to serene is one of the cons that I am okay to live with. Up to individual preferences.

Hi, is there any D’Quince Residence community that I can join? The service from Exsim is seriously bad.

Is this DQuince Residence Community? Can add me in too?

Good analysis!
