Juta Mines was postponed due to the financial crisis. Now they re-launch it. Location is good (close to Heritage). No idea about the developer - but if the project went under in 1998, I'm not sure what the future holds.

And it's a leasehold property.

thanks my44.. yeah its leasehold... thats what my concern is...
the pricing is ok i guess.. for 140++k u can already get a unit with a breathtaking view of the lake...

[my44]

[raviera]

i actually bought a unit.. 947 sqft for the price of RM148800, its quite small but judging by the location.. i think its worth it.. its leasehold for sure.. so .. plis can u all kindly reply ... i havent sign any S&P yet.. still choosing the financial bank.. thank you

[majid]

raviera,

In which block did u bought??blok B is it?? u will have the lake view i believe??

[raviera]

majid
yupp... i bought the pool/ lake view.. so what do you think?
is it worth it? they use bacfree water system
help me.... what about u?

[majid]

well... i hvn't done much research yet on this project..
hectic schedule at work place... i dunno much about the developer..
but i find the location n price + view of this condo very interesting...

was thinking of asking somebody like u actually

u must've thought its worth it when u bought it right??
r u having 2nd thoughts???

[raviera]

emm... honestly.. to me.. its small... but its nearer to mines shopping complex, and near to my mum house in kajang, at least i'll have house... dont have 2 pay every month to rent house then the house u rent never be yours... its affordable, 13% discount from the usual price of RM170 880 hehehhe... so... wat unit u bought? have u signed the S&P? which finance bank u take?

[majid]

yup... but the generous discounts although very attractive,
it made me worry at the same time...

is there a website for this project?? i cant find it???
thanks

[raviera]

i havent found any website for this project.. anyone out there can help us? so far i've read the paper report on this project .. all good...

When passing through the SILK highway towards Mines, I saw the condo construction has reached 40-50%, I would say, not too bad. But we can't tell the workmanship of the developer until you get your property.

i live in Sri Kembangan .... if Raviera gets a unit ... i will be her neighbour ..

its 600m from The Mines Wonderland and Heritage ... I am paying RM300 for a room currently getting a unit seems to be a good idea ....

The 6% discounts for None Bumi and 13% for Bumi is still going on until 27th July ...

I am also studying in UPM ... so the location suits me too ...

the traffic infront of The Mines is very congested for the moment due to the road construction .... after the constructions finished at the end of next year ... the traffic should be cleared.

its interesting to know my early neighbour.. a room for RM 300? emm.. ok.. i rent a unit of flat, 3r 2br for RM 270 but thats at rawang
so.. ok neighbour, wat do u think of that unit? see u at the swimming pool then hehehe

[g5sim]

[majid]

man... i just booked a unit...
but still no S&P...

raviera... u got 13% discount huh??? why my turn he said 10% only...
he said 13% discount is only for the two lower floor?? which floor are u at???

i booked 3rd floor, block B... 947sqf
went on to the site to have a look at the LAKE...
but the contractor didnt allow us to go in further coz they were working n no insurance if anything happen to us... ok..
then i went on to the jejantas nearby... the sales man said that the height of the jejantas was just about the same as 3rd floor of the condo....

then i got to see the 'view'..... man...the lake is so far away... u have to search for... hehe... maybe i'm exaggerating..but still i feel that the lake is far n not like what i had in mind... not like Eastlake..or Fortune Park... so far i cannot believe it... and whats worst is that the condo isnt actually facing the lake... u have to go on to ur really small 'balcony thats just big enuf to stand,cant sit there' n look to the right.... not my idea of view from living room......
but i guess Sutera Bayu semi-Ds and bungalows by Sunrise as neighbours makes this condo not such a bad thing...

still thinking bout this condo... it offers 100% financing... raviera..which floor are u on???

[majid]

n does anyone know about United Engineers Ltd from singapore??? its their turn key contractor/developer... what are their track record??? the sales man told me that they are cash rich... and McAlister???? anyone???

[raviera]

i bought 8th floor.. still not signed S&P, still choosing d bank... how bout u? have thought which bank u want..
if u really want to view d lake.. y not take heritage... its defenately on d lake hehehhe...
13% discount for d first 100 buyers.. they said so la...
y u bought so rendah.. 3rd floor... go n change ur floor... take higher then u get better view .. hehhe i tot so...
oh.. n balcony.. yupp u can stand there n kissing thats all... hehhe... but if u want ur balcony to look bigger.. can put d flower pot outside... hehehe then u can sit in front ur tv .. get ur sofa, d not so big one..
honestly.. its small... but.. the mines shopping complex nearby with cinema.. n south city plaza.. n u can take komuter... n d swimming pool.. okeh la not so bad one... correct ah..?
uit tell me which bank u prefer? help me wa.a.a..a.a.a

[majid]

heritage so expensive lorr.. serviced apt some more... all those lakeside n fortune park..all serviced apt... what view??? other than swimming pool, no view i guess untill 2008... when sutera bayu ready... only this one condo... the lake i wouldnt consider as view...just a coincidence that it can bee seen from afar by looking to the right on the balcony...

did u deal with that Mr lawyer guy?? he said that he's using he's own money or i dunno whose money rm150mil and bought over some amount or all of the condo to sell to public???

i find some facts misleading bout this condo...

anybody else buying this condo???

[raviera]

majid.. wat kind of article that misleading? plis tell me.. havent met any lawyer or anything after i pay deposit RM 100... uit faster tell me

[majid]

well.. one of them is the flyers.. it says total units 303unit.. but actually 303 units per block... total units for juta mines condo is 606... the lake view.. i'm not that sure... if ur in the living room.. u certainly cant see it no matter which unit u choose in that condo.. (dunno bout u but what attracted me was the lake view actually), so kinda turned off... maybe becoz i've seen the view from eastlake area... its simply beautiful... might as well checkout the developments in bandar permaisuri area..also beside lake..

and the mr lawyer guy kinda suspicous... not mentioning the developer Galian Juta... dunno where this Galian Juta fits into this project... coz the lawyer cum sales manager never mentioned bout Galian Juta.. only United Engineers Ltd from singapore... and as some put it.. good property never sold by agents... hmm.. well.. u can make ur own judgement..

banks that have already approved my loan application are OCBC and Southern ... Bumi and Standard Chartered still waiting... don't know which to pick ..

One thing to keep in mind .... according to the terms in the S&P, developers have the right to charge interests on buyers if the bank failed to make payment to them (developers). My housemate already kena as he was ask to pay about RM500 of interests because of that ... he is trying to argue ..

I live in Sri Kembangan and i know about the Eastlake and fortune park projects ... Eastlake units cost <>RM300,000 and is fully furnished with 4 airconds. And there were talks that the view of lake from Fortune park will be blocked by a building near the mines waterfront business park.
And Heritage is simply to expensive ... a unit of the studio apartment cost <>RM190,000 (without balcony) and <>RM200,000 (with balcony) but furnished.

Juta mines consists of two blocks with a total of 606 units .. ONLY three lifts serving each block. Makesure the floor u have picked is convenience enough for 'starcase walking' just in case. The planned security system would have 2 entrance/exit but one MIGHT be closed to save management cost .... I don't know if plans have been made for the managemen to apply for telekon fixed line for the two blocks.

Sauna and gym are a floor under the swimming pool area ...
