Guys & gals ... I too have secured a unit at the zest...signed S&P yesterday....yay...

However in terms of deciding which loan you are going to settle with, one factor to consider might be the agent or officer who is helping you in the process. If the difference in loan amount is negligible, shouldn't we decide to settle with a bank/agent/officer who is going to be proactive and helpful, should anything untoward happens, such as late fund disbursement which would result in US, home buyers, to be penalize by the developer??

Maybe seasoned home buyers would like to help us newbies here...

I got KL view up almost on top of Block C.

Thanx for the tips..

Have you guys submitted to any bank as a group...and what is the outcome??
I got offer from OCBC at BLR - 2.15%..nzec, Public Bank at BLR - 2.1% zec...
After doing some calculation, Public Bank is better in terms of the rate, but I like OCBC more coz of the agent, Yen, who is proactive and helpful with my queries. Am still waiting for HL to come back to me, tho...

When the numbers increase here...we might as well have a facebook for future tenants of The Zest @ Kinrara9...no????

future tenants...current owners, I might add..hehe

Hi babana,

I guess there's always an element of risk in going with TT... so it is indeed a huge leap of faith for most of us. But looking at the location and their track record (so far), we can be slightly reassured they will be able to finish the job. If all else fail to assuage your fear, pray lor... hehe

Guys and gals,

PBB initially offered blr-2.1, agent said approved, then when letter of offer comes out, it was blr - 2.
Maybe PBB doesn't want to do home loan business leh? After they are very conservative mah...
There are many banks out there lah...try more

Added on March 19, 2009, 6:18 pmIn regards to MRTA and others like it, may I suggest also you all look into another term life insurance, called "whole life non par"...i heard it is cheaper. Call your insurance agents to find out more. I'm calling my agents soon as I sign on my loan.

I think Setiawalk is really happening lah
, but only at the road leading in and and out of THAT area...
or rather "super congested nightmare of a road" area...
I could just see the JAM around that area once Setiawalk, One Puchong and IOI square are ALL up and running....People would be going in and out of their home

I'm at level 19, bbn....neighbour!

Aiya...the www.zestpj.com is something PJ Hilton is promoting lah...Not Zest apartment at all...false alarm, I guess

I second that ..so add my 2 cents too...to make it 6...

For now I guess ocbc and rhb is neck to neck in trying to get our business...for me, rhb has the better deal

I wonder if the water bill for our ZEST is shared or individualized?????? Anyone knows???

Guys n gals ,

I think we should have the facebook closed to ONLY ZEST homeowners...we all know that the developer, and banks and legal firms attached with this project are monitoring this thread...believe you me, we need some privacy..no?????

Some people from Puncak Jalil must have some mighty strong "cable" with the relevant authorities. BOLEHland at work again....

There are ways to avoid the jam:
1. Work from home
2. Work nearby...(walking distance)
3. Work the graveyard shift
4. Work as "your own boss"...insurance agent, unit trust agent, (u got the drift)
5. Work no more...

See...there are many choices in life, aint it?

Folks...these are the latest pics on our Zest....
And on a Sunday too...

Y'all welcome ...I will try to post more pics when there's more progress in the development.

Added on May 11, 2009, 10:28 pmTrue...i stay nearby and i pass it every day... if they build LRT there, there would be mega traffic jam for me, and looking at the limited land available, I have to wonder where the LRT would be built? Inside nearer to Hup Seng? Or in the middle of the highway?

Speaking of demo against the LRT, the only people people who would be demo-ing , most probably would be the ALam Sutera folks and BK 9 people (though I think BK 9 is not even occupied)...

and do you all know that the many blocks of low cost flats overlooking the Bandar Kinrara golf course (best view for the flat dwellers ) are not even occupied...one wonders what it must be like to have ALL the flat occupied and using the BK 9 road to go in and out of the area....choatic would be a mild word for it...more like havoc!!...I shudder....

Au contraire naleh...i think we are all very wise to purchase the ZEST ...i'm staying in bdr kinrara and i can see bdr kinrara and any developments "IN" it (bdr kinrara) to appreciate in value in due time.

If ZEST turns out to be a well managed service apartment, the value would go higher...and as far as i am concerned and as of now, ZEST is the only apartment in a class of its own in Bdr kinrara (anyone seen Kinaramas? It looks like a box of apartments)...even I&P seems to be slow in developing their supposedly condo units (if you look at their master plan in I&P's office in BK5)

And I guess most of the Zesters (rhymes with nesters...no?) have their own cars...so LRT or not, it doesn't make a whole lot of difference to our lifestyle...just that with the LRT smack in front of the ZEST, the possibility of value increase in a short period would be realized sooner than later.

Hi naleh,

I have no idea why the flats are not occupied. And yes, the location is good ... zest should be situated there instead..hahaha. BK9 is well designed. My sister thought of buying a unit there, but when she saw the close proximity of the flats to BK9, she balked. She doesn't relish the idea that "so many eyes" on her house everyday.
I think there are at least 1000 units in the flats...our future neighbors, you know.
And another scary thought here...when the flats are fully occupied, would there be spillover of cars parking everywhere, like the Greenview or Greenleaf low cost apartments a bit further down the road towards Astro? Again I shudder

AGREE!!!

And we need to ensure our ZEST stays zesty after we move in....

great...guys... then ZEST @ Kinrara 9 would be the zestiest of 'em all...girlfriends would be worried sick all the time of their bf's roving eyes...wives would be scared to let the husband go out to the common area...but for the singles maybe a good meat market ...imagine the "happening" things that are going to happen...couldn't wait...
