Their previous project in Setapak Ria Condo was a disappointment as well as the condo management, became vice dent liao so stay away ppl.

Not sure about management,

but it makes good money at rm 1.2k rental per month to students in the area

Expectations is subjective though

there is not TAR college here.... so rental vice nothing

Hi all, here are some updates:

1. Management is now looking into our case, and informed that it was a miscommunication between agreement of developer and bank, and also their sales team with potential investor (me). There was a limited period whereby the financial package will be available, but the time of my booking was just few days before the closing of financial package deal was announced / confirmed (so called in the transition period lah)

So now, still need some time to clarify/discuss the entire situation, then only make decision to purchase / withdraw. Plan to do this to come to a peaceful conclusion (since my deposit is still sitting there with them!)

As for the facilities (swimming pool etc), the explanation given was that the entire project will span 200 plus units, therefore no guarantee upon handing over key for first phase, that all the facilities will be ready.

Plus : We were informed that the same financial package will be available for Phase 2 of the construction (first two years paid by developer etc etc).

I still have my concerns, but still have to clear the whole situation properly.

2. Setapak Ria Condo was by same developer? I though this was their first project?

Sometimes buyers also very the strange one. When people give advise pls buy from reputable developers, don't buy from first time developers. The buyer still blinded and buy, and tell himself: "Oh first time developer no worries one. They will give good quality builds. They don't want to spoil developer's image for future projects".

So? First-timer or old-timer also buy.

hehehe....very true.....their own money....buy liao then coming in here to complain lagi best other wise forum no stories lor

Got this yesterday. Now developer price = RM 530,288!!!

what was their earlier launched price?

I am not sure wor. I think around 460-480K gua. Can existing owners confirm?

There are so many cons to this project:

- Overpriced! At 530K there are so many better choices at BPP, BK, PBP.

- Leasehold. At current price, please go get freehold at BPP.

- Ex-mining land.

- Road-access problem. Is it open or close now?

- Next to industrial factories. Wanna share your road with lorries?

- New-comer developer. First project?

- Over-promise. Clubhouse facilities??? How many more years you have to wait for the clubhouse?

- Late delivery. The date is already late and only 80% complete?



JJ, do you really think Austral can give you the above?

If you still want to buy, please buy from sub-sale.

The mother of all cons of this place is THE ROAD LEADING INTO THE ESTATE IS TOO LONELY & NO WAY TO RUN IF CORNER BY MAT REMPIT...

Any updates on your situation? After reading this thread I went to check out the showunit. No problems accessing it from Lake Edge. As i was rushing, I just viewed the showunit and I like the design a lot, definitely suits my taste. However before proceeding further, the questions raised about the developer is certainly cause for concerns. Anyway would like to hear your feedback.

think its starts from around 430k++, before discount. Dont remember exactly coz it was long time ago when TS made the "offer".........

try to search from the web how many people are talking about this properties, if 10 out of the 10 people said the properties is good you better quick quick book the hse, if 5 out of 10 people said bad thing about the hse, you better be aware even you personally like the design and concept. If all people complain and no sure about the property u better quick quick run away ...
Buy peroperty for own stay is good, but you mus consider if the bad time coming, if you want to sell off your hse, is that easy for you to sell? if your propoerties most wanted in town??

Even their website is down. You still wanna risk it and hope that things will be fine in the end?

That is a great sharing ! all potential buyer pls lah...still many others better place can choose...

Increasing the selling price even when they r not selling well???? MR Developer you really got balls.. what r you thinking

Nobody can guarantee how this project will turn out in the end. Maybe become very successful with everything perfectly delivered as promised or maybe become abandon like hell. Me cannot see the future. But looking at the facts, this is indeed a very risky project.

Good luck to existing buyers. I wish everything will be okay in the end

Please do not shoot me. Me just messenger

After much deliberation, its too much of a risk to take. I am quite certain they can deliver phase 1 but beyond that its kind of risky and I don't really like the current surrounding area, it may take several years to be developed. Will be looking elsewhere instead.

Hi Guys,

Here is the latest website. http://austral-residences.com/

Seems like a lot of bias remarks on the development. I guess it is best for the buyer to go there to see and experience yourself. Good lucks.

Kindly take note, that the landowner has booted the developer which is AM-El Sdn Bhd due to issues, the landowner has created themselves, pm me for details.
