Rates should be out by Tuesday. PM me your contact details.

Hi babana, welcome

Btw, did u manage to get the RM3888 discount when you booked yours?

yep, apparently my booking was one of the last ones to get the discount (together with the free S&P Agreement / legal fees package) coz they were firm on not extending the discount from tomorrow onwards. hopefully its not just a sales ploy to get me to book it on the spot today!

was mulling over it and wanted to make the decision in a few days time as i couldnt get any choice units already (didnt want pool units due to the west facing - afternoon sun). however, someone suddenly let go of a unit on level 15 and i took it up immediately! its pretty amazing how fast the units were snapped up over the weekend even before launching during these market conditions!

how abt u pai...got a unit here for urself?

Glad to hear you still managed to obtain the RM3888 discount. Apparently, if your unit was not a unit booked earlier, you may not be given the RM3888 discount. I called the sales office regarding the RM3888 discount today and they said no more unless special case like booking your 2nd unit or unit reserved during MAPEX or something.

new level 15 type C owner checkin in! i should be sk_lim_taurus neighbour...haha!
do keep me updated on the interest rates as well...will be checking AmBank's rates tomorrow

haha, yea...it was after much nego-ing with the sales rep for some time before they relented. coz both me and my sis took a unit each...so we were hoping they could give us a good deal!

I read here that there's a cemetry and crematorium planned near Zest:

Cemetery no prob for the Zest...further away....all KLCC condos even nearer to a Muslim cemetery behind PBB and SDB. Worry is crematorium but I think protests might prevail against crematorium....bear in mind crematorium is only meant for non-Muslims and across from the proposed plot you have new bungalows occupied by mostly Muslims and big shots, ie.Alam Sutera.


Anyway, its more than 1km away, so it shouldnt be too bad

Who is Mr Chong?

i second that. went personally to the site a couple of times to view it. its not that near and at this point of time, i think its quite unlikely it'll materialise (don't quote me on this, just my 0.02) coz of the close proximity btwn the bungalows + affluent neighbourhood there...n talk has been going on for a number of yrs but still nothing concrete coming out of it.

if it really materialises, i guess it the price i paid for the unit would still be able to generate sufficient ROI higher than the FD's measly 2.0% interest rates now! (compared to Tropicana City mall's service apartment which has the Indian Crematomium facing, the proposed C&C in Kinrara is much further for Zest. and the units for TCM C&C facing are abt RM275k for a 594 sq ft unit...correct me if i'm wrong )

pai: haha, not 2 units for me mar...i took 1 and my sis took the other

For the C&C thing, i can likely confirm that crematorium will not be materialized, (read from Teressa Kok's blog) and cemetery is also just plan towards 2020, a lot of bantahan had been done and also we need to support bantahan to make sure it doesn't appear

Wow... A lot of new faces joined this weekend. Welcome!!!

Yeah, babana, we are neighbour!!!

Emm... still not finish the S&P cos is vy lengthy. As i found, the residency is standard under HDA. but, the car park is not. so have to go across carefully.

may I know is there anyone that take the 0% 12 months installment plan?

I suggest you should liase w propcritic no harm trying to submit ur application for that rate.

As a risk mitigation measure, i would think it is safer to pick a unit that does not face the potential cemetery/crematorium site.


Not likely to be a problem for rental.. but if you are selling the place in the future, some buyers may use it as an excuse to knock down the price.

Good choice, as long as it keeps you peace of mind

is the condo in kinrara still available and what is the current price?

anyone know about it?

thanks

if its zest u're talking abt, the kl facing units are all sold out, save for 2 units type C on level 4 and a few units on level 1 and 2 as of 8pm yesterday. for the pool facing units, all corner lots from level 12 (i think) till 19 are sold. many of the pool facing units have been taken up already as well but there's definitely still units available. prices are from RM220k++ onwards.

propcritic: have pm-ed u already...do keep me updated, thks!

Taijie, no point taking 0% for 12 months unless it's landed or completed units....interest savings very nominal...

Hi Prop.. I guess she is refering to the 10% downpayment using credit card from selescted bank.. (mostly are local banks)

TT is offering credit card payment for downpayment, 12 months installment with interest free.. Its good for cash tight purchasers, on the other hand, can earn credit card points to redeem free gifts.. no harm trying..
