Sierra Residency, Bandar Kinrara

UPDATE JAN ‘07: For some latest photos taken in January 2007, please click here.
We were at the soft launch yesterday, where they were offering 10% instant discount for the first 100 buyers. Suffice to say, this event with limited publicity really generated a lot of buzz, with a lot of units snapped up over the weekend. Helped a lot when the price of the units were cheap.
At first we weren’t planning to drop by this place, but we saw the small signs along the side of the Sg. Besi-Puchong road. Intrigued, we followed them into Bandar Kinrara. On first impressions, we suspected that that it wasn’t part of I&P’s series of homes, since they usually advertise via buntings and near their sales office. But we knew pretty well that there would not be another developer in Bandar Kinrara, given the exclusivity of the development.
As it turns out, this project is really in Bandar Kinrara, and is developed by Pembinaan Sierra Mal Sdn. Bhd., a contractor who is mainly doing works for BK.
On first impressions, this condo looks like Saujana Residency in SS16 Subang Jaya, in the sense that it has two identical mirror-image low-rise stepping-up towers encircling the pool area. If you put the 2 products side-by side and you’ll see what we mean. Anyway, small matter.
The location of this condo is in BK5, with some low cost homes on one side and hill-slopes on the other. We’ve reviewed the overall development of Bandar Kinrara before, you can read it here for our take on the accessibility, quality, connectivity and potential of the area.

Damai@Kinrara
The Oasis
Back to the Sierra Residency. The product very straightforward. Two similar towers with a total of 256 units, at the moment on the first block is open for booking. The condo blocks face south, with the pool are right at the entrance. So the units either face directly the 4 compass points, and they are also either pool view or not pool view. There are 14 units per floor. Higher floors have less units per floor, due to the step up of the different wings. So plenty of choices for particular buyers.
There are 2 basic layouts, with slight variations here and there. Type A is 1008sq.ft, with 3 rooms. The smaller Type B also has 3 rooms, but at 907sq.ft. Both unit types are easy to like, but Type A has a more spacious yard. With the glass façade at the living, they have done away with the need of balconies, and one benefit is a larger living space. Master bedroom comes with walk in wardrobe.
In the centre of the condo, there is a wading pool and swimming pool. Other facilities include security, a childcare centre, gym and multi-purpose hall. This place is thick on the facilities, but they obviously realize that Bandar Kinrara lends a lot of these facilities nearby, plus more facilities here mean higher price and maintenance fees. At least one parking spot per unit, some covered some open air.
We come to the pricing. It’s cheap – starting from about RM110k to RM189k. (not including discount). They are packaging some home security freebies together with the unit.
There are a lot of good things going for this place. It’s freehold, it’s cheap, it’s low density. And it’s in the well-planned Bandar Kinrara, so at least you know in the future it won’t turn into an overcrowded and unplanned housing / commercial area. From the looks of it, they are targeting the upper-middle class residents of Bandar Kinrara to invest here and rent out to students or young working people. On the downside, the developer is new. Previously a contractor, doing works around Bandar Kinrara. Anyway, we are pretty sure the 256 units will be snapped up in no time.
One question, though. The full name to this condo is “Sierra Residency Modern Apartments@Bandar Kinrara”. What’s with the “Modern Apartment” bit? As opposed to, what, “old fashioned“?

Hi administrator,
Thanks for this review, I am shocked that they had a soft launch without inviting registered purchasers like me. Hopefully I am still not too late to enjoy the 10% discount for the first 100 purchasers since you mentioned that a lot of units were snapped up over the weekend.
Comment by yk — September 26, 2006 @ 9:10 am
It is very hard to apply for Streamyx in that area. Have wait in queue for years to get it. Other alternatives, like Jaring/Maxis Wired or Wireless does not cover that area.
Comment by Andrew — September 26, 2006 @ 10:34 am
yk,
a lot of ppl were surprised it was realy publicised much. maybe they reckon the could sell out the 100 units from the people in BK (and so happen to be in the golf club that weekend) alone.
i’m not sure if they’re extending the discount period, you should really query them on it…
Comment by Administrator — September 26, 2006 @ 11:16 am
Looks like a pretty good offer. Years to get Streamyx??? - Scary man!!
Comment by Neo — September 26, 2006 @ 11:23 am
actually, a LOT of places around the Klang Valley face this problem, even those that have been developed for 5-6 years… TMNET can’t keep up with it.

you not the only one who no get the invitation
me also not get
Comment by Terry Lee — September 26, 2006 @ 1:44 pm
Someone told me there is a proposed Kajang Subang highway along the main road infront of the apartment (Jalan Kinrara 5B) linking to Pusat Bandar Puchong. Is is true? Check with the developer who mentioned there is no such highway, but then again how many developer would tell it all!
I’ve checked the Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia website, but there is no mention of such highway. It would definitely affect the value of this apartment.
Comment by yk — September 27, 2006 @ 12:51 am
any idea what is the latitude and longitude? I would like to find the location on Google Earth.
Comment by kokpin — September 27, 2006 @ 2:41 am
I received the invitation..:) only yesterday….
Comment by jaja — September 27, 2006 @ 8:32 am
Another soft launch in this coming weekend from 10.30am to 6pm. Please bring RM2000 deposit. It’s 10% for first 100 purchasers, FREE legal fee for S&P & Loan Agreement and Free Home Security System worth RM1800.
I’m scared to buy the project which is not started yet. Still trauma with the TALAM project. But the price, the location and the design is very impressive.
Comment by jaja — September 27, 2006 @ 8:39 am
I went to look at the location, really good. Quiet and serene surrounding, especially near the golf course. One thing I’m concerned about is why so cheap and no reputation of developer. This sounds too good to be true…
Comment by lk — September 27, 2006 @ 10:45 am
Hi guys, I just phoned them and found out that the 10% discount still available, this implies that the buyers haven’t reached 100…
Comment by Jay — September 27, 2006 @ 5:13 pm
hi guys, i been to the sales office and the site also, i think quite a nice one but like you guys say maybe it is too cheap already but still can have a try, today i seeing them cleaning the land (small mountain) already
Comment by Terry Lee — September 27, 2006 @ 6:05 pm
Cheap also want to complain. Do u think that if you buy a RM500k apartment, your chances of being shortchanged, given a poor product etc etc will be lower? Geez! Maybe, Kinrara is not a hot rental location-lah.
Comment by Wicked April — September 27, 2006 @ 7:16 pm
Drop by Kinrara golf club last evening to check it out. The sales/bookings have reached 95! I don’t understand why everyone is saying that its so cheap. Per square foot wise if RM 122 psf (which by the way only applies to 4 units per block and already been booked!) it’s OK, but at RM 187 psf, I don’t know. Even at RM 169 psf after 10% discount, its high. Might as well go for the 22′x75′ Harmony linkhouses at RM 169 psf. Got land some more. Hmm…. I wonder if the 10% discount is a marketing gimmick….

Hi guys,
The monthly maintainance fee is 0.15sen/sqf, do you think this charge is acceptable? Friends of mine just been there today, they said the developer will take care in the 1st year, second year onward will hand it over to residential community to look after.
Comment by Jay — September 29, 2006 @ 9:31 pm
Asked them why they did not invite registered ppl during the soft launch. Seems like it was for closed friends and relatives only. Anyhow they have extended discount for purchasers after the first 100, as well.
They told me the maintenance fee plus sinking fund is 0.16sen/sf, which I felt is OK as a friend of mine is paying 0.18sen/sf for an apt in Petaling Jaya, with similar facilites.
Comment by yk — October 1, 2006 @ 1:06 am
Knew this project from web-site. went to see preview on friday 29th sept. but my favorite unit 1008sqft facing pool n entance all fully booked. sales person told me to come back on saturday 10am which was their tower 2 launching. but because of kiasu-ness, i came as early as 8am, and only to see 1008sqft unit facing pool and entrance from 4th floor onwards all fully booked. i had no choice but to confirm level 4 unit on block 9. it’s still my choice and the only problems matter was lower floor.
overall, i was quite satisfied with the buiding concept. FYI, i booked Heron but cancelled it. Heron seems to be higher in price, leasehold tittle, and location not good. design both same, with walk-in wardrobe. but heron had balcony, sierra simple lanai concept. but i do not regret considering of cheaper price, and location which wld appreciate once completed.
Comment by TEC — October 3, 2006 @ 9:34 am
hopefully the developer can offer cheaper interior design package with relevent interior designer for its all soon-to-be residents, which is currently done by Heron.
Comment by TEC — October 3, 2006 @ 9:41 am
Hi Tec and All,
It seems it is selling like a hot cake!! 4th and 7th floor of block1 facing pool and entrance were still available last Thursday but it seems all gone now. One question, TEC, is Block2 has the same price as Block1 for the same level? Is the 10% discount still valid for Block2 (in your case)?
Thanks.
Comment by Jay — October 4, 2006 @ 1:02 am
Guess what! I’ve just received my so-called ‘Priority Registrants’ invitation for exclusive preview of this project yesterday, for the period from 7-10-2006 to 15-10-2006.
Almost 70% booked and they tell me Priority Registrant? Somehow I have no confidence in the developer due to their unprofessionalism. Simple things like this they mess up, I just can’t imagine… I hope they are not constructing the project themselves, coming from a contractor background, for the sake of all purchasers. There will always be this element of conflict of interest.
Comment by yk — October 4, 2006 @ 1:15 am
Price similar with tower 1. i still got 10% diskaun when i booked on saturday. this made up the price of rm146k for a 1008sqft level4 facing pool and entrance, n minus the rm2k we paid for dwnpayment, price is rm144k. so jay, have u booked 1?
yk, sorry to hear about ur case, but if things are done on first come first serve, y not u come earlier? probably ur priority registration will be reserved for another newly launching condominium next to sierra. this time around i believe u don want to miss the opportunity. if they say 1030am, go as early as 8am to secure a good unit. good luck.
Comment by TEC — October 4, 2006 @ 9:40 am
I booked a unit on last Saturday. The sales person said I am the lucky person, cause I see the signboard and check in the web, getting known the 2nd soft lunch last Saturday.
YJ, you are not the one received the invitation late, the developer send out almost 2000 invitation card, but mostly confirm will received it late. Total units not much, only 256 units, most of the low price units has been snapped when I there.
Comment by yan — October 4, 2006 @ 1:52 pm
I haven’t put my name down yet ;( Probably too late to snap a nice unit facing to pool and entrance, but I’ll try my luck again tomorrow. For about RM130/sqft in such reasonably established area I think it won’t go too far wrong.
Comment by Jay — October 4, 2006 @ 8:34 pm
Book already, seem like many insider purchase already, so since many insider purchase i think the project will be okay, if not who going to buy it?
Comment by Terry Lee — October 5, 2006 @ 9:23 am
u guys think when the project will be completed? as stated in the brochure and for normal finance prediction, it takes three years to complete. but since the bookings had exceeded 60%, think developer will ‘quicken’ the project and complete in less than three years, or maybe two years?
Comment by TEC — October 5, 2006 @ 3:26 pm
i was told by the sales inside that, the cheapest units were bought by professionals such as lawyer, doctor etc to rent out as investment. afraid sooner or later it might end up with ‘foreign worker nest’?
Also, the bank loan officer was telling that the purchaser mainly r chinese.
wat do u think guys?
Comment by TEC — October 5, 2006 @ 3:30 pm
Sales people said told me that there is 30% allocation for bumi purchasers. So when the sales reach 70% for non-bumi, the balance units would be reserved for bumis only.
I’m also worried about yk’s comment as I purchased an apartment developed and constructed by the subsidiaries of the same group of company, very bad workmanship! Fortunately manage to sell it off. What is everyone opinion on this?
Comment by Cel — October 6, 2006 @ 12:58 am
heard that this is their first project, they don want to downgrade their image, so i guess everything should be in reasonably quality.
Comment by TEC — October 6, 2006 @ 4:03 pm

Mine loan is approve, but still looking for more special package.
My unit is 05-03A.
Comment by yan — October 16, 2006 @ 1:28 pm
yan, previously i had submitted loan on the Heron to OCBC. OCBC approved it by giving me 30 years with MRTA compulsory. Their rate 1-3 yrs:BLR-1% Thereafter:BLR-1.15%. it’s very good on rates where i ‘untung’ two years interest if compared to UOB. But then i had decided not to buy Heron and so i submitted OCBC offer letter to Alliance. and thats how i got special rate.
Comment by TEC — October 16, 2006 @ 4:59 pm

TEC,Mine is Tower 1.
OIC, good idea to get special discount ah !
I visit Heron show unit too, but I make decision not to buy.
Comment by yan — October 18, 2006 @ 9:46 am
Terry, the lawyer fee will as below :-
1) lawyer fee 1% of ur loan amt + 5 % Govr.Tax on the 1% amt
2) Processing fees 0.5% of ur loan amt
3) Disbursement fees will cost around RM 1200-1500 and
other charges,
So, total will cost around RM 3,200.00 if ur loan amt is RM 100K
Comment by yan — October 18, 2006 @ 9:54 am
Pls take note the Deposit RM 2000 can be deduct from your loan amt.
Comment by yan — October 18, 2006 @ 9:56 am
alliance bank will give u all tat free. no need to pay a single cents. move in condition and u need only pay 2k for ur initial d/p.
i wonder how they deduct 2k from ur loan. because the loan amount will be based on s&p price minus the 10% from developer. tis haven deduct ur 2k. so they will submit tat minus 10% price, not the minus 10% and 2k price.
wats ur comment then?
Comment by TEC — October 18, 2006 @ 10:12 am
TEC,
yours one call zero-cost entry package, which will include the amount into your load, end of the day you need to pay more since it count interest….. anyway I still waiting my sutpid loan to approve……..
Comment by Terry Lee — October 18, 2006 @ 12:50 pm
Sale people told me that the RM 2K deposit cannot be deducted from loan or refunded. It would be used to settle future utility deposits etc, as stated in clause 9 of Letter of Offer.
Signed SPA recently, anyone noticed that the area of the apt is reduced!! Mine is 987 sf. But SPA said 89.86 sm (967 sf) the other 20 sf is the A/C Unit area next to the Wash area. My question is, can they do this? I can’t use the A/C area!! Isn’t this false advertisement? The price psf would have change drastically too!!
Comment by Cel — October 19, 2006 @ 1:51 am
Cel, true or not, i haven signed spa yet, got to confirm it….
Comment by TEC — October 19, 2006 @ 9:17 am
2k deposit can be deduct. U can check with Ms Koo (Senior officer), she will explain how 2k deduct from the loan amt.
Comment by yan — October 19, 2006 @ 12:17 pm
UOB today call me, the loan only approve 80% due to the reason that the property over price 10%. This reason also can i really no commen, and so more pannel bank……..
Comment by Terry Lee — October 19, 2006 @ 3:11 pm
how is your guys loan?
Comment by Terry Lee — October 19, 2006 @ 3:41 pm
Yan, Miss khoo is sierra officer? wats her contact?
I got offer from Alliance oredi. UOB still under process.
Alliance Savelink Housing Loan (0 entry cost) with MRTA but optional. 1st to 5th year at BLR - 0.7% thereafter at BLR - 1%. monthly:rm918 five years, thereafter rm892.
Comment by TEC — October 19, 2006 @ 5:04 pm
TEC, Ms Khoo is Sierra Officer. Tel refer to the brochure.
Is better to use up the 2k, other wise Sierra will keep it for further use up like elec,water deposi, can save loan interest.
Comment by yan — October 19, 2006 @ 7:02 pm
I check with developer. We can use the a/c area, the SAP didn’t add the size is cause the a/c area will code under accessories area together with parking. FYI, The M/T fees is calculate the a/c area.
The L/O is stated in SM, u can multiply ur SM by 10.76, than will get your hse sf. The different sf will be ur A/c area.
Comment by yan — October 19, 2006 @ 7:14 pm
I’m looking for loan also. Any recommendation? i bought a block-B S&P price is 150k
Comment by kk — October 19, 2006 @ 11:56 pm
Tec,
better dun expect UOB, since it wil not release 88% of the loan to you, my friend without commitment only can get 85%
Comment by Terry Lee — October 20, 2006 @ 8:52 am
yan, normally people don expect too much about the land occupancy. if it is so coincident tat next time u gonna sell it, u can mention 1008sq ft as per brochure. because sierra’s selling point is not its size, but more to the convenience, such as developed bandar kinrara area, easy accesibility, public amenities, guaranteed rental return, etc.
terry, uob offered me intelligent home loan which is a conventional loan, while alliance offered me savelink which is the flexi loan. FYI, uob now oredi can offer 90% of the loan. tis is confirm by the sales ppl there. 1 point i like about the uob is its monthly installment is lower compared to alliance and only up to 25 years, same amount. alliance 30 years. but 1 thing i don like is its non flexi package. i have a certain amount to debit into the loan account. with flexi package, i can put into the current account(savelink package link with current account) and let it dedect the interest, and at the mean time i have the convenience of withdraw it anytime and anywhere without charges. i am thinking of to withdraw money after completion to do some renovation and buy furniture. with uob, i can put in tis extra money but the extra money is credited into ur loan account and u cannot withdraw it. to withdraw rm50 will be charge. and it’s not link to current account. so u have to instruct or pay it by urself.
Comment by TEC — October 20, 2006 @ 9:28 am
yesterday the bank office call me and tell me the UOB did not offer 90% loan due to the reason that the project is over price, so this make me really angry on the bank, they only offer me 80%, so no point taking UOB, which alliance already confirm offer me 88%
Comment by Terry Lee — October 20, 2006 @ 12:24 pm

Comment by kk — October 20, 2006 @ 2:46 pm
jz went to hong leong. they insist theirs is the lowest. i asked for mortgage plus. but told them to offer me same rate as alliance and uob. they said only uob could ‘harm’them. so they let me bargain on uob rate if i get the offer letter. so now still wait for uob offere letter. one thing is they don have multi tier for under con project.
Comment by TEC — October 20, 2006 @ 4:19 pm
Wah! M/T fees also include A/C area!!! How can!!!
Yan, are u sure about this? This is daylight robbery…They might as well include the areas for car park in the M/T fees. Must check with my surveyor friend.
TEC, ‘guaranteed rental return’? since when…Did the developer offer this?… Am I missing out on something?

Comment by Terry Lee — October 21, 2006 @ 1:14 am
TEC, may I know the person incharge of ur loan in Alliance Bank? Want to request for a special rate also. I presumed ur earlier loan package of BLR-0.8 for 1st 5 yrs & BLR-1.0 thereafter is based on their conventional loan package. Seems like they hv 2 options; Savelink & Conventional. Savelink puts me off cos of additional monthly charges & set up fees!

People, I’m really worried about this developer. I received 3 identical letters from the developer ‘Re: Reminder-Issuance of Loan Offer Letter’ dated 9-10-2006, 11-10-2006 & 12-10-2006.
Show’s how inexperience they are not to mention waste of resources! let’s just all cross our fingers and hope that nothing goes wrong with the project!!!

Comment by TEC — November 2, 2006 @ 9:19 am
Any recommended interior designer for our 908 and 1008sqft sierra?
Comment by TEC — November 2, 2006 @ 9:20 am
Did u guys notice or not actually the livinf and dining are very small, i.e. 3300 width only. i have been survey around all new projects, most are above 3300…
Comment by TEC — November 2, 2006 @ 9:25 am
since dun have show room really hard to imaging, anyway the ID i plan to find after the apartment finish
Comment by Terry Lee — November 2, 2006 @ 11:34 am
TEC, 1st house to you ? u are so happy !
Comment by yan — November 2, 2006 @ 7:27 pm
Maybe my other 2 letters are for you, Terry Lee and you TEC!!!
Anyway UOB offering BLR-1.0% for 1st 5 years and BLR-1.15% thereafter, BLR=6.75%. However not Zero Cost, but can cut down interest and loan tenure if installments are made forthnighly based on half of monthly installment amount! Any better offers out there?
Comment by Cel — November 2, 2006 @ 11:22 pm
Cel,
hehe
I don’t think i need that letter already ho ho ho
anyway after seeing UOB, Citi and Alliance Bank,
i found that alliance office better
so i take alliance, since UOB in term of credit, they seem worry too much, so max % can get only 85%
Comment by Terry Lee — November 3, 2006 @ 9:43 am
actually i more concern on the mysterious dead-end road beside the apartment, if government built up something ‘unwelcome’ then the apartment price will drop like hell….
Comment by Terry Lee — November 3, 2006 @ 9:49 am
Yan, it’s my first hse….
Terry, the dead end road is not linkable to pusat bandar puchong?
Jz get the news, HRunited is launching Kinraramas, which comprises of medium cost apartments and 3 storey garden terrace hse. Aprtment price starts from rm163k while terrace hse starts frm rm400k. the apartment build up is quite spacious, i.e. 1091sq ft. wat do u guys think about these?
Comment by TEC — November 3, 2006 @ 10:10 am
that one is lease hold neh
Comment by Terry Lee — November 3, 2006 @ 12:20 pm
The Kinrara Mas project is Freehold too! Dunno about the total No. of units, but the apt layout quite similar to SR, only with a balcony and the extra built-up. From the leaflet, it looks like a 20 storey building.
Seems like every unit comes with 2 covered carparks. Better finishes too! They have 600mm x 600mm porcelain tiles and the bathroom wall tiles up to ceiling height!
Comment by Cel — November 4, 2006 @ 11:34 pm
Hi administrator,
Any chance of a review of this Kinrara Mas project? Seems like they are launching over this weekend.
Thanks.
Comment by Cel — November 4, 2006 @ 11:39 pm
mm
seem like kinrara mas also not bad neh…
Comment by Terry Lee — November 5, 2006 @ 9:49 pm
Good news, we have reviewed the KinraraMas project, you can see it here.
Comment by Administrator — November 5, 2006 @ 11:36 pm
Thanks for the prompt review of the Kinrara Mas project. Will check it out as well.
Comment by Cel — November 6, 2006 @ 12:26 am
The mysterious dead-end road is not a dead end! Jalan BK 5B will be eventually linked to Persiaran Wawasan in Pusat Bandar Puchong. The HILL will be developed by the Selangor state investment arm, PNSB and 2 private companies. Please refer to the following article in The Sun: -
http://www.sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=13629
Unless the protest by the residents in Pusat Bandar Puchong is successful, the project will go ahead!
Comment by Cel — November 6, 2006 @ 12:50 am
kinraramas projects are freehold. i went to their show room yesterday and quite dissapointed. first it’s location wise where the entrance would be from old jalan puchong turining into army camp. i personally think that it’s not good due to traffics congestion there. next come to the overall concept of the whole project where this apartment is targeted those medium class and above where the price range from the lowest 163k to 2++k. with pool view and terrace garden u have to pay higher. and that’s make up the price to above 200k which i think u had plenty of choices at PJ area. then they are too densed with >10 units per floor. swimming pool size is small, i personally think it’s not even to call a swimming pool. however their built up it’s spacious considerd at these price range. 2 car parks are only available for those purchasers purchase 1200sqft and above.
Cel, the built up is not similar like sierra. i still think that sierra is a good buy considered its peaceful surroundings. i went to see the construction progress and drive around the area. to my surprise, many banglo units are found especially at BK6. i thinks this is the plus point to raise up the status of BK!
Comment by TEC — November 6, 2006 @ 9:36 am
jz to let u guys noe, the sales not even 40% after 2 days launched.
Comment by TEC — November 6, 2006 @ 10:18 am
Cel,
So the ‘dead end’ will become another low cost apartment?
Comment by Terry Lee — November 6, 2006 @ 11:33 am
I bet they didn’t give 10% discount since the sale is so slow . . . . .
Comment by yk — November 7, 2006 @ 12:14 am
er…
if you are bumi, maybe can get your 7% kua hahaha
Comment by Terry Lee — November 7, 2006 @ 8:58 am
tats true, witout 10% discount a bit slow. the SA said good thing no need diskaun. i wonder with sales not even hit 40% they can say it’s good thing?

Comment by Terry Lee — November 8, 2006 @ 8:52 am
This project very weird. When I signed the S&P, there were no building plans attached. Asked the lawyer’s rep, and she said its not ready yet and will have to sign the building plans pages later. Is this happening to everyone else?
Received another 2 copies of identical letter from the developer ‘Re: Reminder-Execution of Loan Documents’ both dated 30-10-2006 (dunno why this developer like to send me letters in duplicates & triplicates!), reminding me to execute the loan docs within 7 days. The letters were only sent out on 6-11-2006, and I only received them on 8-11-2006. Time already pass lo, how? This developer likes to back dates letters as well!…
Shouldn’t the execution of loan docs be done after the S&P is stamped. I am very confuse. Is this developer doing things differently. Please share ur views on this.
Comment by Cel — November 9, 2006 @ 12:48 am
er…
never receive any letter
Cel you in tower one or tower two?
Comment by Terry Lee — November 9, 2006 @ 4:53 pm
cel
in contract law, the reposibility only take place when the letter is send out, since it is already pass dated so you can call them and scold.
Comment by Terry Lee — November 9, 2006 @ 4:55 pm
Terry,
I bought Tower 1 … I will reply & ’scold’ them officially so that there is black and white if they try to be funny!
Btw, do u have the same problem with the S&P? Have u sign ur loan agreement yet?
Comment by Cel — November 10, 2006 @ 12:40 am
i don’t have any problem yet
i just send my loan agreement last week and also apply the bank account, my other friend still panding for the bank loan.
we both in tower two…..
Comment by Terry Lee — November 10, 2006 @ 9:14 am
i placed deposit in oct. now waiting for loan agreement to be approved. i wonder wthether this developer would encounter any financial problem in future since they didn’t take the 10% downpayment from us.

Comment by TEC — November 13, 2006 @ 5:04 pm
TEC, ask the solicitor to explain what are the contents in yr loan agreement before signing, you have the right to ask. (although they are from developer’s panel solictor or free charges). Never trust “all are standard” statement! Look at the package you have chosen, BLR agreed rates, tenure etc.
Comment by Scott — November 13, 2006 @ 9:49 pm
look for PBB , quite good rate 1st year 3.78%, 2nd yr BLR -1%……and u r in the running for contest as well

Wrote to the deveoper and scolded them for writing so.. many.. many letters to me, and got a prompt phone call from them apologizing for their computer sistem. It seems that many people also complaint to them about this matter. Wonder why u guys in this forum didn’t receive such letters.
Comment by Cel — November 17, 2006 @ 11:53 pm
Spoke to the Developer’s lawyer, and were told that the developer has insisted that the loan agreement must be signed first before we can signed the SPA. Otherwise have to pay 10% deposit. Is this happening to everyone?
I don’t wish to sign the loan agreement yet as I’m still shoping around for a better loan package! Don’t know why the developer is doing that. Scared we run away..ah.. unless they have no confidence to deliver as promised!
Do they have the right to force us to sign the Loan agreement first?
Comment by Cel — November 17, 2006 @ 11:58 pm

any updates of discussion of BK residents regarding SR?
Comment by TEC — November 24, 2006 @ 9:51 am
Seems like most purchasers of SR in this forum is for own stay rather than for investment … Anyone out there with a loan that doesn’t have a lock in period? If I sell my unit after completion in 3 years, sure kena penalty of RM 5,000.
Comment by Cel — November 24, 2006 @ 11:29 pm
i dun think there is a loan don’t have lock in period loooo

Comment by achin — November 27, 2006 @ 1:23 pm
Cel, stay for two years b4 u sell it off or rent it out. two years not that long, rather than rm5000 penalize. v oredi ‘lost’ to loan interest oredi, no more this rm5000.
Comment by TEC — November 27, 2006 @ 5:34 pm
Hi achin, thanks for the info, I’ll check out Southern Bank.
Comment by Cel — November 28, 2006 @ 12:40 am
Tec, i think the lock up period is a minimum of 5 years.not 2 years.Correct me if i’m wrong.
Comment by achin — November 28, 2006 @ 8:57 am
Apologize Cel, coz i just check wth my friend working at SBB,they also charge 3% minimum, as well as PBB,UOB and any other banks…now they becoming very profit orientated organization lah…
Comment by achin — November 28, 2006 @ 9:43 am
the lock period start from the day that the bank release the loan to the developer……..
so only two year you need to stay in the house b4 you sell it off
Comment by Terry Lee — November 28, 2006 @ 9:55 am
Anyone know that until now Sierra Residency still got empty unit available or not. Plz reply me at johnchow7993@yahoo.com
Comment by John — November 28, 2006 @ 11:08 am
Cel, all bank will have lock-in period for 5 years. so have to stay for 2 yrs more b4 sell it, provided construction take 3 years to complete.
John, all non bumi lots have been taken up. unless problems happen to the loan of the purchaser. only bumi lots available. heard that they are going to distribute flyers to bumi residential area…
Comment by TEC — November 29, 2006 @ 9:27 am
they expect all the lot to be sold out b4 start the work?
Comment by Terry Lee — November 29, 2006 @ 10:15 am
heard that now they still do SI n complete on Dec. after that will begin.
Comment by TEC — November 29, 2006 @ 12:21 pm
Thanks TEC, I want to know where are they sale office locate. Today i go around BK5 i cant find the location, is it near the Bandar Kinrara Golf Club.
Comment by John — November 29, 2006 @ 5:53 pm
John,
The sale office is actually inside Kinrara Golf Club, in one of the function room on the 1st floor.
Comment by Cel — November 29, 2006 @ 11:35 pm
achin, no worries. I’ll just keep hunting!
By the way, I think the rental there should be able to fetch between RM 700 to RM 800, hopefully better provided there are no desperate owners who starts to spoil the market by renting below market rate.
As for the value increase, I’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t appreciate by 10% to 12% in 2 years by 2008, add that to the 10% discount given, it’ll be 20% to 22% $$$. If the developer is serious, it shouldn’t take 3 years to complete a 12 storey building!
Comment by Cel — November 29, 2006 @ 11:54 pm
Cel,Thanks for the info !
Comment by achin — November 30, 2006 @ 8:47 am
the three years period is the due date for them od couse they can finish it earlier, and the law require them maximum three years to finish the project if not need to pay interest to the payer.
Comment by Terry Lee — November 30, 2006 @ 12:13 pm
Hi Administrator..look like this Project sell like hot cake no doubt! BTW how you rate the developer? First timer? Selling price from RM122psf is already extinct now-a-day! From the facade this building use wall curtain! quite expensive bro..just wondering after land cost..wat their profit margin??
Comment by Yee Haa — November 30, 2006 @ 4:19 pm
actually they do save a lot
since not much advertiment, show house also don’t have..
Comment by Terry Lee — November 30, 2006 @ 4:27 pm
How U know they save a lot? Terry? If I’m the developer, with 256 units!..what is chicken feet money of little advertisement to get publicity & also a nice show unit to convince buyers! What is RM120K ALL-IN Not even 0.5% of the total GDV! Just my 2nd thought..
Comment by Yee Haa — November 30, 2006 @ 5:12 pm
I heard the Koi Kinrara (Serviced Apartment) at Puchong Jaya also quick nice. They design of this condo are also very modern and have 2 block, 1 face PJ and 1 face Sunway. Did anyone got comment about this condo coz i got go through many forum that ppl say the Block A & B are 70% sold and now there open for pool view. That place also quick nice and it a windly location. The land type is ex-estate.
Did anyone know who is the main developer of this project beside Lingkaran Naga Sdn Bhd because they have 2 or 3 different name on they showhouse.
If anyone got comment about this condo plz give some comment because i like the place so much and the view very nice. I dont have experience about property bcoz this is my 1st property. Any comment plz email me at johnchow7993@yahoo.com
Comment by John — November 30, 2006 @ 5:32 pm
location: SR in BK5 which is a matured, well planned area.
density: SR has only 200+ units which is considered low rise.
Comment by TEC — December 1, 2006 @ 9:35 am
sales: SR is 100% sold for non bumi units while it’s 80% in total.
Comment by TEC — December 1, 2006 @ 9:36 am
yee ha,
since they are first time developers, we can’t really make a judgement on them yet. but i believe (and this is imho) that they prolly have an arrangement with I&P that they are able to keep the price down.
Comment by Administrator — December 1, 2006 @ 10:11 am
yee ha,
this project actually there is few party invoive,
the developer, land owner, marking ppl and so on, all from diff company one, if not getting profit do you think so much party want to invoive?
Comment by Terry Lee — December 1, 2006 @ 2:58 pm
Hi! Thanks for the infos. Hope they won’t compromise with the workmanship..Errr..are they using form work method? Any specifications ar?
Comment by Yee Haa — December 1, 2006 @ 5:04 pm
There is no curtain wall yee haa, its normal aluminium frame windows only. The perspective is rather deceiving! I’ve asked them about.
If you look at the specifications, they are only standard finishes and bare minimum: No porcelain tiles only ceramic tiles, only 1 fan point and A/C point. Come to think about it, I wonder if the developer would offer upgrading of the standard provision; save us from hacking the walls to add electrical points later.
Comment by Cel — December 1, 2006 @ 11:48 pm
Cel,
I think you suggestion is a good one,
can voice to the devoloper?
Comment by Terry Lee — December 2, 2006 @ 10:09 am
I wonder why they are still offering 10% discount? Already mark up the price ka?
Comment by sifu — December 2, 2006 @ 12:21 pm
cel,
i agree with you.
Comment by sifu — December 2, 2006 @ 12:23 pm
yessssssssssssss
seem they mark up the price
so you can save your 10% for the renovation haha
Comment by Terry Lee — December 2, 2006 @ 5:34 pm
I think all the purchasers need to voice up to the developer so that they realise that their provision of elctrical points is insufficient and that there is a demand for additional points.
I just hope that they don’t take this opportunity to slaughter all of us!!!
Comment by Cel — December 3, 2006 @ 1:53 pm
Hi sifu,
I told u guys in the very begining that the 10% discount is only a marketing gimmick. Of course they are still giving the 10% discount… u must be bumi though as it seems only buni units left.
The actual sale price is the discounted price, they just increase the price so that they can offer a discount to make it more attractive… that’s why some banks says the property is over price, and won’t offer 90% loan.
Comment by yk — December 3, 2006 @ 2:27 pm
so far only UOB think that the price is overprice,
other bank still give the load until 90%
so this is base on the calculation on how the bank value the development only. i been throuhg few bank already, so far only the bank i mention give 85% or less
Comment by Terry Lee — December 4, 2006 @ 9:16 am
about the additional electrical points, i ‘ve already tlk to Mr salleh, the developer he said, we the owner will receive letter in January whether we want additional electrical points.Just wait lah.

i suggest if developer could recommend us some interior designer, or set up a show unit of interior design once project completed??
Comment by TEC — December 6, 2006 @ 5:30 pm
this one depend on the third party for ID i think
Comment by Terry Lee — December 7, 2006 @ 9:05 am
Come to think about it, for the price of the apartments, Water Heater and Door Bell point pun tarak… Very stingy developer! Maybe that’s why give 10% discount.
Anyhow, as a guide for everyone the price for additional electrical points are as follows: -
Lighting point (ceiling & wall) - RM 40/pt
Door bell point - RM 40/pt
Fan point c/w hook - RM 60/pt
13 Amp power point - RM 80/pt
A/C point (without pipings) - RM 150/pt
Water heater point - RM 150/pt
Upgrade of sub-main - RM 200
I was also told that the MATV point provided would not be able to receive ASTRO… need to upgrade to SMATV. More $$$
Comment by Cel — December 9, 2006 @ 12:49 am
if that the case need to add another 2.5k
damn………………

Comment by Terry Lee — December 13, 2006 @ 10:16 am
Hi everyone,
Wonder how they worked out the maintenance charges to be 0.16 psf. So far this is only verbal.
Have you ppl notice that the Fifth Schedule of the SPAe, Form of Service Charge Statement, the expences details were left blank!
It feels like signing a blank cheque! What if they said the estimated expenses are higher when they complete the project and that they have to increase the rate? Hai Yah! so much worries…
Comment by Cel — December 13, 2006 @ 11:18 pm
Oh yeah! passed by the site over the weekend… a lot of earthworks were done… Tower 2 area almost same level as the main road oredi. Took some photos but dunno how to post them here!

thanks TEC, any idea whether how long the developer will reserve the bumi lot?
Normally how much we need to pay for the booking and the period to sign the S&P? Sorry for this general question becoz never exp in buying any property b4…
Comment by supermarn — December 14, 2006 @ 6:02 pm
the booking fee is 2k,
the bumi lot is require by the government
so hehehehe………….
Comment by Terry Lee — December 14, 2006 @ 6:05 pm
Hie TEC, ok will take your advice. Yes! I’m waiting for Alliance as well. Hong Leong has approved my application, but I reckon the rates are too high.
Supermarn, the bumi lots are reserved for 6 months to a year. I’ve spoken to Mr Ong about it.
Comment by Passion — December 14, 2006 @ 7:12 pm
As it stands over the weekend, only 22 bumi units left, 19 units in Tower 1 and 3 units in Tower 2.

Passion, wats the unit u bot? as for me, my unit is at tower2, 4th floor, unit 9, facing pool n main entrance. if u have any problems of homeloan, then u can private message me, k? haha! alliance still the best rate after i had compared all flexi loan from diffrent bank. hong leong’s mortgage plus is a flexi package same with alliance savelink, but they offer higher rates, i.e. BLR + package which i think not suitable for first five years. also, they don offer zero move in cost. as for alliance, they offer me special rate at zero entry cost. the rest of the banks is normal loan even their rate r attractive, n tis include UOB, OCBC and Maybank. (so far these banks offer good rates as they r having promotion now, u can check them out)
It seems tat tower 1 not so sellable due to direction not nice, facing playground and u may heard of loud children noise when they r playing. so still tower 2 is like a hot cake.
Comment by TEC — December 15, 2006 @ 1:06 pm
after you get the offer letter can send to foreign and ask for better rate.
sometime that way can be done.
Comment by Terry Lee — December 15, 2006 @ 1:26 pm
Just waiting for Alliance. God OCBC approval today as well. Actually can get the zero cost package for most banks but i wont be taking the zero cost package. after speaking with many experienced property investors, they said its not worth it so the alliance loan application is not the zero cost one. hopefully can get the approval soon because sierra is calling me up, chasing me …
yes TEC, mine is in tower 2 as well..on the 6th floor but facing north..so not swimming pool lor.
Comment by Passion — December 15, 2006 @ 5:25 pm
TEC, I think Tower 1 is not so saleable more because all the units that are left come with 1 car park only! Seems like most people prefer 2 car parks.
Comment by Cel — December 15, 2006 @ 10:57 pm

mine one also 6 floor neh…………
what is your unit no?

WOOHOO! Howdy neighbour! *waves* Just one urgent question to everyone. Alliance Bank loan is ok right? no problems and stuff like that..nothing special to look out for? Will go ahead with it already…wish me luck
Comment by Passion — December 18, 2006 @ 9:50 pm
hahaha
mine one is alliance one
anyway you can change back after five years what….
Comment by Terry Lee — December 19, 2006 @ 8:58 am
Ok done. Will sign it tomorrow.
Comment by Passion — December 19, 2006 @ 9:41 am
Nothing against Alliance Bank but had bad experience in the past with their home loan hub in PJ. Can vomit Blood! But then again after dealing with so many banks, they are all the same…
Comment by yk — December 19, 2006 @ 6:00 pm
I also have bad experience on Alliance. That’s why i sign with Citibank even the BLR is higher but at least they manage to offer what Alliance offer. The most important is Citibank is flexi. Even you can said you can change to others after 5 yrs but do remember after 5 yrs the loan package might be not so good already
Comment by KL — December 20, 2006 @ 10:20 am
hehehe
KL,
don’t you forget ppl will not do something which is worst off. the different btw citibank and alliance is just if you have alot money to put into the saving account then they will cut the interest counting, which is not big deal after you compute the calculation. of couse if you are rich then is different story laaaaaaaaaaa
haha
Comment by Terry Lee — December 20, 2006 @ 10:48 am
…. hmm..how come there’s so many problems with Alliance? I find the service given by the bank officer is pretty satisfactory. she was able to explain many queries that i had and compared to OCBC, she was more attentive and enthusiastic. just my personal opinion la of course…
Comment by Passion — December 20, 2006 @ 6:27 pm
It is more depent on the officer I think
Comment by Terry Lee — December 21, 2006 @ 9:19 am
The problems are never in the application stage as they want you to sign up with them. They have separate teams to do marketing, aministration, accounting etc. The headache only comes in the following stages during the release of the loan (very often late and the late charges would be bourne by us!
Next would be the refinance or resale, as they would take their sweet time at your expence…

I have booked a unit for this project just before Christmas. Only bumi units left mainly in Tower A located at high floors. Kinda regret that I didn’t make the booking earlier as I have to pay some “premium” for higher floor units. Yes, I’m cost concious and this is my first property.
Paid a visit at the site during New Year holidays. There were a few heavy machinery and trucks already at the site. Hope everything will go well for this project.

Comment by Terry Lee — January 4, 2007 @ 2:35 pm
yea..the second phase is coming up. will be at a higher premium than ours la..maybe more ‘high-class’ kua..ours is quite nice already..but i guess the new phase will be nicer since it will be pricier..maybe no 10% discount anymore!
Comment by Passion — January 4, 2007 @ 3:36 pm
I reckon they will be more expensive due to overwhelming response to the Sierra Residency project. They can afford to up the price a little bit since they are pretty sure there is demand for it.
Comment by Heskey — January 4, 2007 @ 5:43 pm
actually they did not do much adv on this project,
so mostly the buyer is the developer’s friend, relative and so on, of couse still a lot ppl like me, so call walk in customer hehe
Comment by Terry Lee — January 5, 2007 @ 10:32 am
They must sell the other project at a higher price lah!
How else would our investment in $R appreciate…..

Emm many discuss for the Bank Loan…I had Apply for Hong Leong and already approve,still waiting for Alliance bank and HSBC for approval.Can any one tell me the pakage of Alliance Bank.For Hong Leong is BLR-0.4(morgage Plus),and HSBC is BLR - 1.0…..So i’m waiting for the HSBC to approve my loan.My house is A07-07.
Think I will sing the loan agreement this week…Any suggustion.???
Comment by MaX — January 8, 2007 @ 8:09 am
Hey there Max, do try to wait for Alliance Bank. their package is a better deal i reckon. Better than Hong Leong.
I’ve signed the loan agreement and SPA already. Can anyone advice on how much should an average loan agreement + stamping cost? after the 30% discount of course. do u think lawyers can rip people off? I’m thinking i paid too much.
Comment by Passion — January 8, 2007 @ 8:58 am
max, wait 4 others alliance and hsbc offer letter, no hurry to sign hl 1st. when u get all the offer letters, compare which 1 u like. i believe u r not only consider rate each bank offered but u have to look on their clause as well.
as 4 me, these 3 bank offer u PURE daily rest flexi package, which i think shld be more or less the same. so take ur time to read thru their contents in offer letter, u shlnt focus on rates but others thing such as services, bank branch (make payment easi), etc.

Dont buy. Do not be fooled by the sweet promises. Look around at other apartments in Bandar Kinrara. No significant increase in value. Poor management and also not properly planned. Sierra Mal is really a construction company and not a developer. I think Bandar Kinrara developer knows it is not worth to develop the land, so they sold it to Sierra Mal to develop. Otherwise, why do you think Bandar Kinrara development would simply let Sierra Mal build them?
Comment by PKB INP — January 10, 2007 @ 12:25 am
thank you PKN
but please check carefully the back ground of this company first. since the land actually belong to third party not belong to the ’so call’ developer, plus there is only one or two developer in Kinrara.
what you worry people already taken into consideration. about the management part, what you expect on this so call first time developer?
plus now you want to buy also need to wait………
Comment by Terry Lee — January 10, 2007 @ 2:04 pm
To PKB INP,At here 95% already sold out.5% only for Bumi.We get less price for the good place at Bandar Kinrara. Can U get it??I think the price is better then other and I like the design very much..one of a kind.
Im waiitng Alliance Bank to process my loan…To slow..hong leong and HSBC already approve my loan.Hong Leong 90% with BLR- 0.4 and HSBC with 80% loan with BLR - 1.0….
Comment by MaX — January 10, 2007 @ 2:40 pm
PKB INP,
For your info the developer of Bandar Kinrara, Perumahan Kinrara Berhad is also not that good leh! Are you by any chance related to BK’s developer PKB?
Why? PKB regret selling the land because of the overwhelming respond to this project ah?

Dear Passion,
My Alliance bank that im waiting at Kuchai lama,The officer that doing the loan is MC for few days,so she is delaying my loan approvel.Today she call me & ask me to update my account bank because she wanted to see the January trans.sHE IS WAITING MY TIME.
Are you relised that all Officer of Loan is beautiful chick@ good looking woman.They treat customer very well.
Are you all agree…
Comment by MaX — January 12, 2007 @ 12:54 am
Hi Max, the bank officer i dealt with for Alliance Bank is from another branch and she is very efficient. She’s also one reason that i took the loan offer from Alliance. As compared to the Bank officer of the others banks, she’s the most responsible one and really get back to me when she says she will.
Hmm, I hope u get the response u want soon! About them being good looking, i don’t really agree la, i’ve dealt with men as well…haha!

Cel, yea, i haven’t received mine as well, but i think we have to rush the lawyers. been meaning to call them up but been so busy since the new year. i heard from some borrowers that the developer is deducting the RM2K from the next 10% due for those who borrow less than 90% loan. i wonder if we (those with 90% loan)can get a deduction as well? any ideas? i heard we can ask from the developer. they said its for maintenance, but then the property won’t be ready in 3 years, so what is there to maintain? any ideas?

Comment by Cel — January 18, 2007 @ 10:49 am
Terry, you actually have 3 years from the date of the S&P to apply for withdrawal from your EPF Account 2. Therefore if you don’t need the money now, you can wait a bit longer so that you can enjoy a higher divident (who else gonna give 5% & higher divident) and withdraw a higher amount later.
Take note that you must have an account with one of their panel banks in order for them to TT the money (Foreign Banks and Insurance Co. are not in panel!). Therefore you won’t be able to make a second withdrawal later to reduce the loan a few years later, if you had a loan with a foreign bank, as the second withdrawal will be banked directlly into the housing loan account by EPF.
Comment by yk — January 18, 2007 @ 2:33 pm
Terry, when will kwsp announce the dividen?
Comment by sifu — January 18, 2007 @ 4:11 pm
sifu,
I also asking the same question since last few days the news paper say the kwsp lost money again.
Yk,
I plan to take out the money and put in alliance bank, then cover the money into FD, since recently KWSP always loss money and until today also still not yet pay divident. So i think better then money on my hand then other ppl.
the panel bank so far i know is maybank, so i have no problem with it .
Comment by Terry Lee — January 18, 2007 @ 4:38 pm
Collected the SPA… was dated 21-12-2006 eventhough it was signed in October 2006… conveniently they extended the project by 2 months!
Hope we don’t have to get to that later as I think they should be able to complete the project in 2 years.
The lawyer’s rep. said that the developer intents to bill the purchasers for the second stage next month… that means that they would be starting piling works very soon
Even that I don’t think they can complete the piling works in 1 month taking into consideration of CNY next month.
Comment by Cel — January 19, 2007 @ 5:33 pm
I’m a bit confused on the lawyer fees since this is my first property. Can anybody tell me, do i need to pay for loan agreement/stamping cost? What about SPA, it is suppose to be free right? Both is handle by the same lawyer…..
Comment by sifu — January 19, 2007 @ 10:04 pm

hopefully,it can finish before 2010.
Comment by taiko — January 20, 2007 @ 3:49 pm
Hi sifu, SPA is free but loan agreement is depending on the bank, Zero Entry Cost with the best rate during the launch was Alliance Bank. Not sure now??? However other banks are now also offering ZEC with a higher interest rates, of course!
Hi Taiko, welcome to the forum… b4 2010!!! I they should be able to complete b4 2009! 12 storey building only maa… If they don’t complete this project earlier, their other project would suffer.

Comment by TEC — January 26, 2007 @ 9:12 am
I suppose the major difference between SR and that project is that SR is a residential development and hence it comes under the jurisdiction of the HDA. It that sense it offers some sort of protection and avenue for compensation via the housing tribunal.
Since the sale of this project is so encouraging and the developer’s first project, there shouldn’t be any problem. If they don’t do a good job in SR, their reputation would be at stake…
Anyhow, just keep those fingers crossed so that everything goes well
Comment by Cel — January 26, 2007 @ 9:54 am
as i mention b4,
a lot buyer is from the developer friend or relative, so if it reallly a sux project, i dont think there is so many buyer around
so don’t worry too much oooo
plus already ‘up’ to the ’ship’
nothing can be done loo just wait and see loo

Anyone has been to the site recently? Any progress?
Comment by Passion — January 31, 2007 @ 3:44 pm
Yes, I have been to the site recently. In case you have not noticed, there is no signboard whatsoever to put the details of the project: who’s the owner, the contractor, the architect, etc. Normally this is required by local authority right? In this case MPSJ. So is this project a legal one? Or do they proceed first while getting approval later? Not one of you purchasers noticed about this? No wonder you all were so naive to buy the units there. Wait lor until you stay there and start facing the real problems.
Comment by PKB INP — February 2, 2007 @ 9:31 am
PKB INP,
Of course this project is legal. Do you think over 200 purchasers can be so naive? For your info, I had done a checked on the Housing Ministry’s website on the developer’s licence and advertising permit and they are valid! You can check it here:
http://web.kpkt.gov.my/idaman/index1.cfm
You cannot obtained an AP without the building plans approval from MPSJ. As for MPSJ’s enforcement on the missing signboard and temporary hoardings, that one, you know I know lah!

Comment by inakimi — February 4, 2007 @ 11:55 am
Inakimi, I suggest you go and take a look at the actual site first. The project is next to a hill, low-cost housing, etc. Not so good surrounding. I believe all the units facing the swimming pool have been sold out. Only left are the ones either facing the hill (very ugly) or the low-cost houses (not so pleasant too). Do your homework very hard. Dont make mistakes - this is a property. Get to know the company, Sierra Mal. If you dig deep enough, you’ll sure uncover some surprise discoveries. Just be prepared to be shocked!

Yeah man…. everyone is eager to know what’s wrong. PKB INP, what is your motive in telling all this? If you are so concerned about the welfare of all the purchasers why don’t you tell us really what u know? and why only doing it now? Can’t help but wonder your real motives… please PKB INP help us before it’s too late…

If anyone has kind intentions, i suggest u just tell us upfront. pls do not put up a sarcastic tone as we’re all sincere buyers here. PKB, if u have an intention to help, then don’t put up your frustrations or whatever it is u have in this blogspace. just spill out whatever u want to tell us and stop being mean to everyone, it won’t do u any good.
