we need to make a list here in lowyat to red flag all these developers. reddit and lowyat has threads about them, but they are not compiled in a list that people can refer to.
this is the most expensive purchase in our life, a list like this to help future buyers is like so important.
i am sorry for those people that work in those shitty developers, esp sale agents/accountant/etc. but if people are from upper management & architects are in this thread, SHAME ON YOU, BUCK UP PLS!
you are not selling MYR20 mekdi set ok?

actually there are bad apples everywhere, even the top developers also have projects with a lot of defects, so i'll check who is the main-contractors instead.

but sometimes also very hard la, developers tekan main-con price kawkaw, main-con tekan sub-con price kawkaw, then sub-con tekan suppliers and laborer kawkaw, in the end only can cut corners here and there.

also, mismanagement can be an issue also. works out of sequence, delays which resulted in rushing etc. if you look at our construction cost vs foreign one (except china), not bad already la. biggrin.gif

Not just that. Also see the level of sincerity of developers, how they deal with defects, how professional the defect team is in rectifying your defects such as hollow tiles, water proofing, wall crack, etc.

my taman representatives complained to some YB and MPKJ, IOI did come to some patching externally and that's it. the cracks came back months later and it's even worst. the underlying issue is not solved ... SOIL EROSION.
there's no embankment wall that stops soil erosion into a man made lake few meters away from the taman (CAUSE IOI IS CHEAPSKATE, WANNA SAVE MONEY ON EMBANKMENT WALL).

that screenshot of the house with huge cracks on the walls, is the house closest to the man made lake. i heard from his complaints that his garage is hollow, basically his cars are resting on a few feet of concrete. if i am not mistaken, the owner spent a fortune pumping concrete under his garage

you bought new house, you should have 2 years warranty right? drag them to tribunal .

if more than 2 years, like other forumer said, sell at loss and move on

4. Better buy subsale if dont want the hassle of research, because penipu will always be penipu (devs / agents / contractors / etc.)

Rent AirBNB for awhile if available at place of interest, talk to existing neighbours, etc. then buy.

Edit: Also that wall crack is fucked beyond help. If proof like that also devs / authorities won't take action then really no hope.

sincerity to deal with defects too late already, if it's a major defect no matter how u touch up also same. by right they should monitor and reject during the construction stage. but mostly just want to claim as fast as possible and avoid paying penalties. rush finish 1st settle defects later.

yes, i bought EV4 in Elmina City. water leakage aint that bad compared to IOI's flagship bandar Puteri Bangi super terrace house (lol @ their marketing gimmick)
i also saw that hammerstunt, that tropicana went cheapo and fucked up. but their old developments like Tropicana Grande which i owned, still top notch

and talking about sincerity to fix problem during 2 years of warranty. yeah, sime darby is good, really sincere and good.
my bathroom for both my units in Elmina was leaking, they hacked up the entire bathroom, redo the water proofing and replace all the tiles, included the marble tile walls, itu mahal wei, but they did it
