[quote="louiz"]Got to look at the model 1st to answer your questions.. hehehe.. well, yeah, Block B is faster than Block A, and they said the construction is quite fast... so did you ask the agents now left how many vacant units? If i'm not wrong, Block B is fully sold.. Block A left 6 units.. izzit? which unit u booked? and have u decided whether or not u wana proceed with SNP? VP is a good deal honestly.. and i think there's no more property in the market which is ~180k-190k for a ~1k sqft condo....But it's still up to u whether u wana proceed or not Very Happy

.. we understand at times like this, many will be worried.. me too.. but again, it's beyond our control.. hopefully the market will become better...[/quote]

I will make up my mind soon, now i'm waiting for the loan offer and see how it goes....

I've booked Block A-9-5, any neighbours here ?

Similar case with you, and yet sign for S&P. However, I have made up my mind to be one of the future tenants at Vpark Laughing

. Notwithstanding that current construction industry is covered with a lot of uncertainties and bad news, but I quite comfortable to Villamas due to its’ proven track record and they are having a strong background (heard from my friends Shocked

).

If compared with the last photos uploaded,
Block B is progressing,up to 6th floor; whilst Block A remains static at 1st floor
Whereas the common facilities site - the foundation and piling had been laid

It's deceiving and we can easily mis-identify the block A as multipurpose hall if we are looking from the picture / standing in front of main gateway!

Let's pray together that our condo project progress smoothly withstanding the turmoils of current property market!

Let's stand united, looking forward to build a caring, informative and harmonious Villapark community!

I shall be able to update you guys our condo progress every 2weekly to monthly!
It's within my travelling area from workplace and current home!

Keep this forum active with new updates, best buy / products / agents for future renovation plan!

Hello girl friends, guy friends of VP and MBZY,
Good to see your pictures, MBZY.. I just went to the site today around 3.30pm... Yes, i took some pictures too.. if compared to 3 weeks ago, there is progress in Block B.. Already in 7th floor (if kira the ground floor also)... There is obvious progress in Block B.. But as for Block A, like u said, it's still the same.. i dont know how to see Block A's progress.. maybe there is progress, but slower Rolling Eyes

By the way, there are workers working in the construction area on Saturdays.. i saw them.. Very Happy

Yes, dont let this stop.. let's stand united, stick together, pray hard and hope that everything will be alrite.. as long as there is progress, means there is contruction going on...

And yes, MBZY, please post pictures of progression once a month or once every 2 weeks (as u wish) to update us.. it is deeply appreciated Razz

My same old question: Block A left how many units now? Still 6 units?

Hi Louiz,

Sorry, I'm not sure of the latest no. of available units at Block A.
Sad

I usually just dropped by the Villapark site, without entering the office cum show unit; I took a quick look on the ongoing progress, occasionally took some photo shots as what I had uploaded here and then I left the place.
Cool

The last time I spoke to the agent, Uncle Peter was more than 2 weeks ago; he did mention to me that the show unit may be demolished in a couple of months more, perhaps after the completion of the total sale? what a waste! It's nicely designed and decorated!

I hope my condo unit will be nicely decorated like that!
Embarassed

Money is the deciding factor!
So GOTTA earn more money to decorate my first home!

I also went there yesterday and according to uncle peter, now they have remainding 8 units ...

I also saw the construction worker started to build No.7 floor(including ground floor) and they also working on sunday!

Anyone here take up Alliance bank housing loan ? Their package are quite attractive, just that its Non Zero Cost. Feel free to throw any opinions/advice on this loan package as i'm now exploring different loans for the house.

The package as follow
-2.2 for the first 2 yrs
-1.8 for the third yr
-2.0 for subsequent yr.
-Non Zero Cost(Estimated the stamping and lawyer fees is around 3 to 4k)

How you guys think ? Also did you guys takes up MRTA? Heard that there is other products such MLTA and so on.

Hi All,
Anyone of you manage to get the payment schedule from the developer for villapark ?

You can call the bank to check if they have withdraw the money for your 1st drawdown. You will get a copy of statement later (from the developer, cc u), stating your 1st drawdown.. for me, i'm still waiting for my 1st statement. The bank already released my 1st drawdown to the developer last Friday. I shall get the statement anytime this week i think.

So Villafan, have you made up your mind whether to buy VP? Coz in your pevious post, you said u r still considering Laughing

[/quote]

Yeah, most probably i will give it a go. Which loan you took ?

As for the payment schedule, do u have any idea on when is the subsequent withdrawal ? Actually this is important as we can use the payment schedule to calculate the interests and compare the bank offer to save up the amt.

Hi Villafan,
I'm taking the HSBC Home Smart package. The 1st drawdown is already due, coz the 1st drawdown is the piling, ground works, etc... The 2nd drawdown will come when the construction work reach your level.. for example mine is 12th floor.. so they will only charge me for the 2nd drawdown once they reach the frame for 12th floor.. something like that...[/quote]

Thanks for the explaination, Louiz. How's the rate offered by HSBC ? Good ?

Yes, good. In fact, all banks are very competitive and their rate is quite good, to be honest..Allianz and HSBC were our considerations lastime when we were making our decisions.. But in the end we chose HSBC coz of the thereafter rate.. which is -1.95 whereas Allianz is offering -1.90 i think.. U? confirmed on Allianz liao?[/quote]

Not yet, still in the midst of applying Smile

They offered me -2.2 for the first 2 yrs, -1.8 for the third yr and -2.0 for subsequent yrs. But i think for the first 3 yrs it wont make much diff as the amt is only 10 to 30% .... correct me if i'm wrong.

Do you know is there any other roads to bkt jalil beside going pass the SME and to the new access road ?

I'm actually worry abt the security there as i saw a lot of foreign workers there ....

louiz · Posted: Mon Jul 14, 2008 5:31 pm Post subject:

Hmm, usually i go to VP via 2 routes.. 1st route is the route via Bkt Jalil, pass by Astro, then U-turn at the lake area, and go into VP. 2nd route is using the Palace of the Golden Horses route, whereby i will be in the opposite direction of Mint Hotel, i dunno how to explain, then just right before the toll, turn left into the Turf Club roundabout, and go into VP.. hehehehe, quite confusing rite the way i talk Rolling Eyes

About the foreign workers, hmm... cant worry so much la.. if u r chinese, u will understand this "koo mm tak kam tor" ger la (beyond our control)..u cant help it, coz along the way up to VP, there are a lot of low cost flats and also apartments, and there's a small industrial square area before u come up to BS, at the junction, remember? so there would be definitely foreign workers living around the area lor..
