Yes the project is revived since 3 weeks ago, as austral is one of my customer.

ur customer????

maybe he is a contractor or a lawyer

even more interested to know more, especially for a project tht has stalled n revived.

Now is June-08. Is the project going to be completed and handover in July-08?

should be next yr, it's not a project tht was 90% completed, it was just 1st 2rows being built half way.

Any latest news about austral yarra link project?

I have been there last year, go in the sales office , see only the hse model, and get to know the hse is lease hold and immediately turn me down, I didn't visit the show house, and to me the price also not cheap ya? compare with some others free hold hse in puchong. To me i prefer to but hse at the left hand side of LDP towards Putrajaya...wawasan, setia walk, bandar puteri....so many choose....why buy at lease hold land behind tesco and near to the lake ?

smart move


anyway,the general rule

left side of jalan puchong ( all the way from Old Klang Road ) - rubber estate land

right side - ex mining land

you decide yourself

anyway for first time house buyers
mining land also got diffferent depths - the deeper it is, you got to wait longer for the soil to settle before start any construction.if got choice , avoid mining land especially it it is high rise.

if you can afford, always go for freehold
leasehold 99 years - people always say , aiya you are not going to stay till you are 120 years old.that's not the problem
Problem is when you are 60 years old, and you want to sell your house to cash out to do some travelling, and the lease of land left maybe 50 years, then you have problem gettingbuyers and the price may not be high.

freehold land in Klang Valley ( good location )getting scarcer and scarcer
the reason - DST in Bandar Puteri / Bandar Kinrara - reaching half a million mark.
Damansara and Bandar Utama- no more DST development, that's the other reason.
everyone looking south.KLIA the other factor

But the most important factor in buying house/condo/apt - AFFORDABILITY.
dont buy and die standing not enough to eat.

my 2 cent opinion

I agreed with you. but i heard actually the autrial also not selling cheap with the 99 years old lease hold. My understanding is they sell altmost 550K ? for 2 1/2 ? corret me if i am wrong.Actually with that 550K you have a a nice DST hse at pusat bandar puchong, wawasan ,and bandar puteri (the old /conventional model)....to me these few place is still consider cheap if people already have burget for 550K to buy austial.. why not look at the left hand side of LDP?

what is the progress of Austral Yarra? It's still on? The last time i visit is around CNY 2009, the road still close lar...

the road now open, showhse also completed, this developer promise by sept2009 will complete but up to now only 70% complete. looks like they running out of time.
main concern their workmanship dunno good or not also this hse is high 2 1/2sty , worry about cracking u know mines land.
Developer promise alot of thing like gated&guarded, clubhse, guess parking area, but really worry about all this promise coz they are not reputable, easily can twist n turn. I heard this r their first project .

hope someone here can advise more about this project and this developer as well. I am considering to purchase too but really worry dunno izit a bad choice.

For the kind of price, please look elsewhere. Why take the risk? If die die also wanna buy, please wait until complete and get from subsale. There are so many better choices.

you are right ...why must buy at the place ? bcos the LRT ??? that is another 10 years story loh...you know how good and efficent is our goverment.
that kind of price you can buy sub sales DST hse at wawasan, pusat bandar puchong, BPP??why not ?

becoz looking for 2 1/2 sty with 2 masterbedroom and austral masterbedroom1 have 500sf with unique bathroom{indoor &outdoor }
also Gated&Guarded , cluhse facilities with pool, jogging path , courtyard in ur hse, livingarea back portion full of relaxation, b/up2860sf, and lastly they have guess carpark hassle free parking problem.

IOI have very good land but no design, no clubhse, no G&G, n their road very narrow parking problem, {if have 4cars} sure u make enemy with ur neighbour.

Hi all, just to share my experience.

Actually went to look at the unit twice to see the show unit, and enquire further about the package. Even went to bank to enquire about their special package (first two years interest paid by developer). On the third visit, brought along cheque to make booking.

Today when about to submit documents, the developer called, to inform that the finance package was CHANGED, and that developer will only pay ONE year, 2nd year onwards will be borne by purchaser. Oddly enough, developer put the blame on bank, saying that the agreement was altered. This "sudden change" was mentioned on the phone, no black and white (but for the special package, its printed on their brochure)

Of course, made call to the bank, and bank denied ever making such changes, bank confirmed that the first two years interest paid by developer (depending on their agreement) package still stands.

I will not make any conclusions, but just to inform you all about the latest updates. Of course, did not submit documents to bank. Developer said that they will have further discussion before getting back to us.

Definitely trust is no more, and hard to build back (if last minute changes can be made like this, what more about the pool, gym, guardhouse etc etc?). Now just wait for their reply and go get cheque back, and begin looking again at other properties.

Will update on the outcome of my experience.

i am sure the developer will call you back said they will absord the interest loh.... so hard to sell hse at this kind of economi situation.
but for your knowledge, the good location hse in puchong are still very hot and people are Q for booking. Why not look at the properties at the other opposite side of LDP?

hi lahtaye,
thanks for sharing this info, very helpful to me as i 'm considering to purchase as well. After hearing what u said, i think this developer are not reputable and can't be trusted . Thats my worries , they promise facilities n etc etc but afraid changes made in future. Thats actually happen to my fren hse. I think better dun buy from unknown developer with no reputation even worst, must be safe than sorry afterall is our hard earn money.
