Malaysia Real Estate

[auzaniridzwan]

We were curious about SPK's track record as well so decided to read up a bit on SPK. What we found is that they've been developing properties on JV basis with Sunway, namely Sunway SPK and Villa Manja in the Klang Valley.

We visited these two properties and were very impressed with SPK's build capabilities. The only crappy thing we found was that at Sunway SPK the security and guard houses were nothing more than a container shack. The one at Villa Manja tho was a properly built guard house at the entrance.

Granted, Cahaya will be their largest project to date, and from the progress they've made with the two projects above, looks like they're capable of fulfilling their promise.

Otherwise, its up to us to whoop their asses into shape!!

Passing on the ball, our deciding factor was the their whole concept. You dont just but house, you buy the living experience (alamak sounds like a marketing slogan now!).

Hi auzani, thanks for sharing. I must say the total "package" Cahaya is selling is very interesting, large modern house co-existing with nature, out of 500 acres, 78 acres is kept as natural as possible. The location provides the balance i.e the distance from the Shah Alam - Sg Buloh main road is just 3.5km to Cahaya's main entrance, so the living environment is quiet, green and peaceful but never too far should we want to venture out to "civilisation".

Hopefully our clubhouse will be nice and becomes the center of healthy activities and social interaction among the the neighbors. Can't wait to live there!

Hi Guys,

I received my buyer's login id and pwd today, and I have enrolled into the customer portal. I have to say, this is a first time that I heard a developer provide such facility to their customer. This is wayy cool! Haha!. At least now, we can check the progress billing (and have it in electronic form, apart from the traditional snail mails), check progress photos and etc.

Well, back to our discussion topic. I have to say, the first thing that got me hooked was of course, the clubhouse itself. Although not fully done yet, it IS really nice and like I mentioned in my earlier posts, I hope they do not cut too many trees near the clubhouse, it has to stay natural that way, cause that is priceless!.

Next, the superlink house itself. I think it was beautifully designed. And the finishings, the materials, the tiles, the window panes, etc is of high quality. Price is within 'reasonable' range and I do think that we all got a good deal!. Imagine whats the price going to be like, in the next phases..

As for the developer itself, well, I have the feeling that they are also working with Sunway on this. It is just that probably, they want this to be their 'maiden' project, so, no mention of Sunway's name. Come to think of it, Cahaya is sandwiched btwn 2 Sunway project (except for Kayangan HEights of course), which are Sunway Kayangan and Sunway Alam Suria.
This is of course, just my 2 cents theory....hehehe

Hi everyone,

There's a carnival at the Clubhouse and Show village today and tomorrow (Sat & Sun), and my kids are all excited to go. Anyone of you guys here going? We may bump into each other there

I'm signing my S&P on Monday and my loan has been approved. Do you know what other payment and when are we expected to pay after the 10%? The MRTA, legal fees, MOT, etc. I'm a bit blur on this.

Appreciate if anyone can enlighten.

[auzaniridzwan]

Just got back from the weekend carnival. Arrived at around 3pm, damn all the Happy Meals were just finished!

Started with the prize grabbing. They put you in a box, and fan the box, i had my baby with me and only managed to grab chocolates. At least she enjoyed it. I saw some nice Eubig power strips (the one they use in the show house) and cash vouchers up for grabs.

The fair stretches from the clubhouse all the way to the show houses. All the show houses are now open (including the superlinks).

Looking beyond I could see our project site, the project sign board is up. Can see the worker quarters. Saw all the drainage pipes lined up. And heard them piling. The slope behind our area was also terraced, grassed and drained. Staff said foundation works will start end of month.

I'll post some pictures soon. All in all, really enjoyable day. Oh btw, you now have to park at the round about entrance near the bungalow hills. A minibus will shuttle you to the clubhouse.

ct100 - other payments after the 10% will depend on the loan you took. If its ZEC, legal fees on your loan will be "absorbed" into your installments. Otherwise there is a standard calculation based on loan amount on the legal fees. Again depending if you took MRTA or Life assurance, we took a Life assurance and our payment schedule is every 6 months.

viper - thats a cool theory!

sorry for the slightly blurry photos, taken from cameraphone.

hi everybody...i'm also buyer of superlink, blok L 04..glad to know about this thread
cant wait to move in to my new dream house..
reason me and my husband decided on buying the house was because of the size, quality of finishing and the green living as promoted by the developer..

[nidusmas]

My spouse manage to grab during the carnival a voucher for RM10K discount if one buy a house there. We've just bought a house and not really in need of another one. We're told that we can pass it to other buyer.

How about a 50/50 split, anybody interested?

[viper770]

Hi diladin, welcome! Ours is at Block L-10. So we could be living just a few doors away. and we have another one in our forum here who will be staying in block L as well, but that is for you to find out!

Hi nidusmas, I think that voucher you got is the same as our current early bird discount. I cant tihnk of how are we going to use it, especially some of us have signed the S&P and loan agreement? Can we use it to buy some other stuffs for the house? like a voucher from Best Denki or something? haha...

[auzaniridzwan]

Haha, another L-blocker! Welcome to the neighborhood! We're in L-08 1 door away from u diladin!

Soon, we should start mapping out where our forumners are on the site map.

Best Denki voucher? Hehe 10K split in two will land u 2 42" plasmas already! Or 1 42" Pioneer Kuro!! (Au puts on his beggar face to get 10K voucher).

Hi nidusmas, how is your place in Subang Alam? The bungalow looks very nice, modern interpretation of a traditional design.

[nidusmas]

Is the voucher of any value then? Stated there only for buying property from Cahaya SPK and valid from 19 January 08 to 18 March 08. How can I benefit from it..you know win win kind of thing.

hi auzaniridzwan, yes plasma TV would be nice
how come you know that I got a place in Subang Alam?
(no not the bungalow.. )

[auzaniridzwan]

Superlinks Precinct 2A


Superlinks Precinct 2B


Link Villas Precinct 3

[viper770]

Hi guys,

I remember someone mentioned that our superlink came with only a single-phase power supply. If I have the intention of installing 2x1.5hp aircond and 2x1.0hp aircond..plus probably 2,3 water heaters...will the current power supply suffice?

[pakeminem]

thanks auzani for the picture n the map. i was told that spk's site was actually a golf site for perdana heights project. n sunway is not involved in cahaya spk as the mgt of spk believed that they can do it on their own. somehow i has this feeling that daim has an interest in SPK. if i am not msitaken bandar manjalara was THE break for him to become a major player in our economy. if you look at the list of spk's projects u ll find bandar manjalara there. whatever it is let's hope that our house will be known for its quality finishing and concept.

ct100, i immediately booked my unit after falling in love with the jacuzzi tu. am imagining what i can do with it at that time heheheh:D

For fun, see the satellite pic of the development. Good view of our neighbors as well. From the state of construction of the clubhouse and showhouses i guess this must be early 2007.

[tigeress2008]

Hi all, i went to visit SPK last weekend, viewing all the property around the area and like the concept of SPK. We thinking of buying superlink...but still in discussion. Could you all please point out to me why you choosing SPK? Will the value of this houses appreciate?

[tigeress2008]

I like the concept but dislike the external design of the house, is look so common like any other houses. Any body agree? Masterbedroom bit small, the two rooms upstairs also small,

Alambudiman seems to have bigger space, no renovations need to be done..

But i just in love the concept of SPK. the idea of greenery, the sounding..marvelous. vry tropical, my expat husband just like it.

[auzaniridzwan]

[tigeress2008]

Hey, thanks for all your comments, hopefully its will help in making our decision. I just want to make sure that we get the right property, good environment, and high market value in future..

why are you buying cahaya spk?

[auzaniridzwan]

Hi Tigeress,

Great to be of help, we can learn a lot from each other by sharing what we know.

Are you still considering Anggun in AB? Anggun is a lot wider at 28ft if not mistaken? Not many terraces go beyond 22ft, at close to 30ft thats semi-D territory. I went there once and only looked at the house with the split floor. Unfortunately with young babies that would mean a lot of accidents.
