|
|
Well, i signed my S&P agreement in Feb 2004, and they delivered the keys
in late June 2006. Dec 2006 was the expected date.
Yeah, one thing is that they delivered 6 mths ealier..but unfortunately, I rather them to do it properly than rushing for payment from banks sake.
lot of quality is comprised in the process to deliver so early.
Some ppl only took their keys in July-Aug.
26 June 2006 - took key
2nd week of July - submitted my 1st defect list.
1st check in 1st week of Aug.
2nd check in 3rd week of Aug.
3rd check/follow-up compliants in 1st weekof Sep.
Gave them 2 more weeks to settle my interior defects which they left out.
Mid Sep, again nagged....finally i signed the defects fixing form to take back my keys from site supervisor BUT, put a note that 2 exterior defects not fixed yet. I need the keys back as reno work/plan starts in Oct.
Electrical reno done by late Oct.
Now, full steam in Nov for wet works / grill / plumbing.
Target to move in : 1st week of Dec.
long process indeed.....after numerous calls and planning. |

How is the progress now? Anyone please post the latest pic...
Didn't go to see lately...
It was published to complete by April 08 right? so if they can finish in 6 months earlier then we can get our house on somewhere by Oct 07.
The link road worries me too....  _________________ EnJoy liFe always..... |

Hi Guys,
I just did the booking today at the site. Block A 4th floor. The unit was release due to previous owner unqualified for loan.
Finally found this forum today at least I wont feel like stranger when I move in..
Well, saw that almost all unit being booked/sold for Block B while Block A close to 90%. I couldn't resist the offer since limited units left. I prefer corner unit but the only corner unit facing east is out of my budget thus settled with type A.
The location is very strategic and accessible to lots of area: Puchong, KL, Subang, Serdang and of course my home Kajang .
Cant affort to travel everyday from Kajang to Batu Tiga to work.. anyhow i have to settle somewhere with good location.
The new link road is one of the main consideration to purchase VP. Home the developer really keep their words.
Cross my finger.. |

|

ngou,
for my Villamas Pchg Jaya, 1169 sq ft,...i spent RM20-22k
for reno, and RM10k for electrical stuff. and maybe another RM8k
for new furniture.
comes to RM43k....
i turned my yard into wet kitchen.
installed kitchen cabinets
wiring (add electrical outlets , wall lights, etc)
install 3 air-cons
grill
you sld keep the reno cost abt 15-20% of yr apt value.
if everything plus furnishing, normally rule of thumb, keep under 30% of house value for apartments. if got more to spend, well....different story |

I am a dummy when it comes to property, need some sifu to enlighten me.
I do come across with the term "commercial land" which some ppl defines it as - what ever structure built on commercial land, the tariff for electricity and water will be charged at commercial rate, is tat true? Is VP built on commercial land??? |

Hi All
Went to the Open House day, Sunday 19, but went late about 5pm coz got another open house to attend . Everything finished already.
Counted the number of units remain; Block A got 29 units unsold mostly facing east, the 1043 sq ft!; and Block B 26 units left. So overall totalling about 55 units. So far if my count is correct (as at 19/11) the project already have 83.13% units (271 out of 326) "taken up". However some caution, because some units only have the orange sticker but not the word "SOLD" attached. I guess there are some things remain unsettled; loan waiting for approval or documentation remain to be signed, to name a few...
So dericq, you spent 20-22K for your Villamas Pchg Jaya, 1169 sq ft reno. I plan to reno along the same cost, but i do hope that you can explain a little bit about your renovation? Plaster ceiling, throw in a chandelier , kitchen cabinet, grill, rewiring, lamps? Just to brace myself for the actual reno cost. I just guessing my budget here...

Louise, thanks for the update. I've been waiting for it! Long time havent' been to Serdang area already.
By the way, it's not so clear from pics, but how many floors already for Block B? It's supposed to be 16 total, if i'm not mistaken. |
