Wah Lau eh...why so much different one, HSBC (beach street)and HSBC bayan baru? They (Bayan Baru previosly, now in Queensbay area) said HSBC don't approve Oasis project? How come beach street HSBC can? Really chia lat...Maybe they feel shy to reject my application...haha...nvm...

Anyone have any idea where does the PORR pass through Gelugor? Saw Vista Gambier forum have some concern that PORR would effect them (near them)..

 
March 1, 2008 at 11:52 AMUnknown

To the pontential buyers of Oasis
Firstly the area the project is
700 sq ft only.
Secondly, in furture the project can be downgraded after several years from RM100,000 to RM150,000 as you can see like Jade View & Gambier Heights
Thirdly, the project will be flooded during the Monsoon season.
Lastly, a precondition low cost apt around 200 units beside the project and both projects to be completed at the same time. a hudge congestion will occur before you enter the project, as there be the only entrance to the project.
Please be aware.

I have some info regarding Bank offer comparison.

1. UOB (ZEC)- BLR -1.85 for whole tenure, terms loan, lock in period is 3 years+5 years, if you miss the payment for continuous 3 months BLR become BLR+2.02. The BLR also tie with ur credit card, if you cancel ur credit card BLR become BLR-1.6. There is administration fees RM3000 for closing account once you settle your loan. During lock in period, maximum you can settle 50% of you loan, the amount more than 50% you will be charge for 3%. Money redraw will be charge RM50. UOB offer MRT/ MRTA into the loan as well.

2. Maybank - (Old offer ZEC) 4.88% 1st year, BLR-1.75 thereafter, (new offer ZEC) 4.88% 1st, thereafter BLR-1.9. Maybank is term loan, if you miss with 1 payment, your BLR become BLR+0.2, during lock period you can settle you loan with extra maximum 6 payment per year. Lock in period base on the full release means 5+3 years. Maybank offer MRT/ MRTA into the loan as well.

3. HSBC - Flexi home loan with 1 account. I strongly suggest for HSBC, however the bank only offer 1Million to this project which is equivalent to 4 houses and now it already hit the limit. You can put in 100% loan amount money into the account from first release. HSBC offer 5 types bank loan,
Type 1: 3 years from 1st release with none ZEC (1st year BLR- 2.05, 2-3years BLR – 1.55, thereafter BLR-1.95.
Type 2 and 3: 5 years from 1st release with ZEC and none ZEC, for ZEC (1st year BLR- 1.9, 2-5years BLR – 1.4, thereafter BLR-1.75.
Type 4 and 5, 7 years from 1st release with ZEC and none ZEC, for ZEC (1st year BLR- 1.9, 2-5years BLR – 1.4, thereafter BLR-1.75.
There will RM10 charge for administration fees every month. HSBC only offer 90% loan therefore MRT and MRTA you need to pay ur self.

4. AM bank – HOME link concept which it have 2 account, you can put 100% loan amount of money into saving account, there will be no interest charge in loan account thereafter. This is quite similar concept to HSBC. AM bank offer for none ZEC is BLR – 2.0, while ZEC is BLR -1.85.

As conclusion I give the flexi Home loan offer with higher grade compare to term loan offer. This I can explain with next chapter in term of interest saving for those who have 1 lump sum of money, flexi is better than term loan. For those who just want to serve the monthly payment only, the term loan with highest BLR minus might be more suitable for them.

Hope this can help you all.

Guys , i heard rumous saying that this project confirmed to be delay ; Developer not able to get resident there from moving out due to some land title issue ... in fact , developer try to hiding this and explain that no progress for the project it's because close to election ... i am worry , anyone can clarify this ?

 
March 2, 2008 at 9:28 AMAnonymous

the agent told me da Oasis card scan system only avaliable at car park lift,not lobby lift.
Mean all the outsider & visitor able to acess resident lift easily & this will killing the purpose to have card acess system for Oasis project. I think the developer need to really look into this.
Did any of you notice that our BBQ area is at 14th floor (same floor with jacuzzi), will there be any air suction filter? If not when u enjoy ur jacuzzi at 14th floor there will be 'free' BBQ smoke around.
Why dont the developer move the BBQ to ground floor,coz when ppl having BBQ party at 14th floor there will be lots of visitor moving around on high rise building & will create lots of noice during the party & interupt the resident.
I really hope that developer will this bout this point to increase the privacy & security for Oasis resident.

My own experience, always apply few banks then counter offer without signing 1st. I know is not fair to them but we can get better offer.

hey guys,
dont you think paying 300K for a fake 1000 sqft (actual 700 sqft) and yet high density condominium is really something???????

The main objective for us invest in properties is the appreciation in capital growth and also the cash flow?
~Rober Kiyosaki....(rich dad's theory)

Why would ppl worry do much on such when you still have alternative to look around for any other project.
~ vista gambier (bukit gambier), platino (udini), the spring (off jalan sungai penang), there is one more in island glade....

Let's not worry about the home loan. We can always use equity to offset it when the capital growth raise much higher.

 
March 3, 2008 at 9:06 AMAnonymous

Anyone have any idea does Oasis only use the concept of main accessory parcel + accesory parcel + exclusive area to come out actual size? I heard Putra Place or Marine does use this concept too but not sure.

what, public bank not supporting this project?
how come? is that the project or the developer not stable nor they foresee the PORR may cut across the area, that makes the properti depreciate over the time......

 
March 7, 2008 at 10:55 AMAnonymous

My loan also rejected by Public Bank, this is true. The reasons of do not approve the load just exactly same like what you guys discuss here. That's the reason why I asked anybody get loan approval from Public Bank ...

 
March 7, 2008 at 12:31 PMAnonymous

anyone who haas inside story of the PORR????

i mean their actual working construction plan

 
March 7, 2008 at 2:51 PMAnonymous

I believed Public bank loan approval should not related to PORR.

Beside Public bank, any other bank having issue with Oasis loan? Understand HSBC loan to max 1M for this project which around 4 units only.

 
March 7, 2008 at 8:04 PMAnonymous

Public n HSBC already out. Still left out which bank?

 
March 11, 2008 at 4:33 AMAnonymous

I find this "Anonymous" vv annoying. He/she seems not to understand English, and kept bringing up issues that people have discussed. I hope he/she can stop kacau. Do us a favour and leave this forum to us who are interested in constructive discussions.

I have purchased a unit too. It is true that PBB rejected Oasis project. But as a buyer, you can still choose from AM, HLB, MBB, RHB, or more which I am not aware of.

To anonymous, if you are interested in the reason PBB rejected the project, please ask PBB, because they are the one who rejected it. And please bring up other more creative derogatorive topics if possible. Else it is boring to always read the same thing from you.

 
March 12, 2008 at 10:10 PMAnonymous

no more any new topics because all already discuss before. right now, we wait and see this project progress.

 
March 13, 2008 at 11:47 PMAnonymous

whoever interested in the progress of the project and like to stay tune to this forum, please log you big name on, rather just use anonymous, there just too many anonymous, but dont really know you are also.

therefore, can all 'anonymous' use log on name at least.

Latest update from my house agent...She said 50% and more has been sold out...quite good...

however...too bad...my S&P lawyer firm told me that the proprietor has not signed the S&P and causing the delay...any expert can comment on this?

 
March 14, 2008 at 7:18 AMAnonymous

If developer continue to delay, should the S&P date listed as the date when we pay the 10% S&P or follow the stamping date?

Probably someone can advice below URL on last sentence.

I have done enough staying near at the high density area whereby finding a decent for a carpark with be my nightmare.

Just imagine how many cars do a small family that consist of parents + husband +Wife.... (at least 3 already); and how many carpark do a unit own, One + One...

where are we going to place it???




And, now parking next to 200 units low cost.......... then how???

March 21, 2008 at 12:43 AMAnonymous

Steven here, i placed my booking fees before CNY...till today i have yet to sign the SPA. I applied for Public Bank cause know people from there....in the end they told me bank reject the developer due to the land accquiring problem, not sure what is what actually.
Now i applied for Am Bank.....BLR-2.0%....with home link....quite good deal.
I am engaging my own laywer cause the SPA and developer profile quite fuzzy.
I bought 28Floor type D at 310k inclusive of 2 car park. Anyway the car park is not side by side but 1 go in then follow by the other...if the inner car want to come out, the 2nd car must move...quite funny and troublesome.
So now.....do you think this property is good? SPA stated 700sft...., then till today not yet clear the land. I heard that they have problem "halau" the current resident there. Do you think they will apply to become freehold one day? This property will appreciate? Anyway i call up the developer to ask for delay to sign SPA, they said no problem. Can someone advise whether this is a good buy or not. Thanks.
Heard that ambank finance their problem therefore loan easy to get.

 
March 21, 2008 at 3:48 PMAnonymous

Hi Steve,

Congratulations on making up your mind to purchase the property as well as deciding on the bank loan. Most probably I would take HLB. Regarding the land problem, as a buyer, I am unaware what is the exact problem faced by the developer too.

If you have 1-2 hours time, previous comments would be some interesting reads for you. Particularly, I would like to recommend this post by "above 14th floor" on February 2, 2008 9:00 AM shown below. Have a nice weekend!

1) Leasehold vs freehold. Freehold does not guarantee a better return. If is important but it is not everything. We knew it was leasehold before we placed the order. Unless you have been not told otherwise or else I don't see a point keep on fretting on this issue. If you have been cheated on this, then talk to the developer and arrange for cancellation or sbu-sales. Nobody can force us to purchase anything that we dont want. The reason I purchased this condo is because of its strategic location not because of leasehold/ freehold. If you are not happy with leasehold, then perhaps its time for you to consider sub-sale the unit.

4)Back to back car park. I do agree this is not the best design. Wish it could be better but still, it is better than only one car park, right?

6)700SF vs 1100 SF. I had mentioned this many times in my reply. Don't want to repeat it. This is the issue that I talked to the lawyer appointed by HB and expressed my disappointment. When HB salesperson came in to explain the whole thing, I accepted their explanation. If you have doubts, speak to your lawyer. After all, you pay them for their services. get the things straigthened on the spot. Its their obligation to help you.

7) Price price price. Only God knows about prices. We will leave it to the market to decide in 3 years time.

 
March 21, 2008 at 5:10 PMAnonymous

I would think for those who already purchase, just looking forward the good news from developer rather than looking on the negative area except you can do something different..

 
March 21, 2008 at 10:26 PMAnonymous

Hello there,

After some thought, i decided to cancel the purchase.
Due to the followings:

1st: Developer's stability and capability base on their financial statement.
2nd: Low cost high rise just beside, the same time Oasis project finish.
3rd: High maintenance cost which will be going up during the years.
4th: high density.
5th: Car park really troublesome.
6th: World economy slump.
7th: Entrance to all the projects inclusive of new Kampung kastam and so on might be over crowded.
8th: Re-sale value after 5 years is really fuzzy.
9th : If include renovation after completion. That time 100K to renovate like show room....quite impossible. Therefore this property expense will go up to 500K or so just for 1113sf house.
very difficult decision indeed.

A bank reject letter will take back the deposit. According to agent.

Good luck to the rest and may your dream home give you best possible peace.

Hi guys...

Can i check with u all, the parking is not side by side but double? 1st car in and 2nd car will be at the back. very hard lo.. if 1st car wan to go out u must move out the 2nd car first only can go out.. S0 complecated.. Not give us a easy way but make us hard way. Others property not do this way like Oasis wan to do...

Ya, I also have the same concern on the car park. It is not side by side. I ask staff why they design the car park in this way.. and the staff told me that we can carry 2 car keys at the same time, so you can drive any car which is park at first car park. But..I am not sure if this is applicable to everybody.

Yes, if you have your reject letter, you can apply to cancel your purchase.

 
March 22, 2008 at 6:28 PMAnonymous

Other property like Seaview also apply this concept of parking.

 
March 24, 2008 at 8:51 AMAnonymous

Wow, why is that so many negative thinking comes out? Isn;t that was sold as hot cake amongst all in the first place?

But to be franked, i do agreed with the 500K investment into a leasehold 1100++ sqft kind of theory. Come to think of it, is it worth to fo so.

If i were so rich with no concern on 500K investment on property, i would have buy Doule Storey Terrace at sungai ara already. 24X75, some more that is free hold and with own car park without maintenance fee.

March 24, 2008 at 9:56 AMAnonymous

Lancy.. Agreed with you if the price of Oasis is 500K, definately i would go for landed property. i think we should not include the renovation cost into the price as every property you buy will incur renovation cost.

 
March 24, 2008 at 10:27 AMAnonymous

Who is getting 500K?when the price goes up to 500k?Wah,I suddenly become rich,I wanna sell my unit at 400K,who wants?

Wat is happening to The Oasis?
Why the developer still havent sign the S & P since most of us already paid the 10% down payment?
And The Oasis still havent started and work in the land yet, not even clearing up the place and piling it. Wat is happening????

 
March 26, 2008 at 9:33 PMAnonymous

walau... the oasis ah when u going to start your work la?

March 27, 2008 at 7:55 AMAnonymous

dear skipper,
no one is siao or normal as you.

this is truth that properties price is not judge by you. whilst it is judged by the latest transaction from the new unit purchase or subsale.

We can forgive you who are idiots in property investment.
We are talking about the progressive capital investment with the amount that is potentially paying for the price of the unit (exclusive of bank interest) + Major renovation to maximise the living space & style that might cost 500K.

If you have the capital of 20% of 500K today (that is 100K), will you consider to buy a condo (some named it terrace in the air) which having strata title and dont even have your own piece of land.

But, if you are experienced enough that you may foresee the growth of landed property price, let say your mentioned 500K today and 700K 3 years later. and you invest your 100K into it. Which one is more worthy and guaranteed.


You may decide from here.

And, dont simply say ppl siao.

I hope that you learn a lesson here.

I was wondering when will the present settlers at this project site will be relocated.
Firstly, we were told in January 08, few weeks ago I personally called Nusmetro and was told that it will be b4 end of March 08.
But till today, there is no sign that the developer has taken possession of the project side.
Is there a problem between the current land owner and the settlers?

 
April 3, 2008 at 4:42 PMAnonymous

Hopefully OASIS will survive

 
April 3, 2008 at 5:27 PMAnonymous

look at the current situation..you better request for refund. I had provided them the bank loan reject letter from public bank and get back my down payment $.
Good luck to all of you

 
April 3, 2008 at 10:34 PMAnonymous

will you able to get back all your downpayment instantly? How long the developer promise to return you the money?

Will the developer give you any penalty?

 
April 3, 2008 at 11:50 PMAnonymous

Went to the office and look after Mr. Lee,the manager.The settler need times to move away.The project is on-going and might be kick-start will delay abit but will completed in time.They have over 60% buyers now which make me feel secure for them to
build Oasis.So folks,dont worry.Can always refer to Mr.Lee.Dont listen to the non-sense feedback left by someone who is trying to tell you Oasis is going to stop/on hold.He is not the DEVELOPER.

 
April 4, 2008 at 10:27 AMAnonymous

Thank you so much for telling us Mr Lee has gave assurance that the project is on-going. Actually, his word might not be of great weight to alleviate our anxiety because he is a manager with the developer. But, your mention about 60% buyers should be a good assurance because it shows the project is viable. Let's hope the project will be a success. Those who have already paid 10% including myself can at least sleep soundly.

Highly Agreed!Please check with your lawyers to get back the SNP!I have got it!They just send out yesterday!Yippie!

The settlers have a committee whom had filed for court order. Hearing is on the 15th May 2008. Issues like the plot of land had been sold to koperasi kerajaan at a vv low price. i dont think nusmestro can take possession of the sight at any time at least not untill the 4th quarter of the year

 
April 6, 2008 at 12:49 PMAnonymous

Last few weeks I counted my self for the booked unit in Nusmetro Sales Gallery along Jelutong Expressway and found that only 200++ only which mean 40%++? Who tell you 60%?

The settlers file lawsuit against Koperasi Pekerja on 15 May 2008? Then, that's mean our condo will be delayed for them to settle the land issue? What's bad new? Where you get the info, racing?

 
April 6, 2008 at 1:50 PMAnonymous

Well,I believe the one mentioned over 60% is on BLOCK C.It is true.

 
April 8, 2008 at 10:45 AMAnonymous

I hv a friend who is a settler there and he is in the committee. I didnt tell him that I had booked one unit there.
They will be asking for higher compensation ect. Meanwhile I think what they will be asking is way too high, the matter would not be resolve any near future.
Whtr the sales has reached 40% or 60% does not really matter right now. Because once you have sold 20% before even commencing construction work, that is vv good. The moment construction kicks in the sales will be pouring in more.
Right now issue is about possession of project side. The longer it takes the more sales will be lost, more buyers will be asking for their refunds.

 
April 8, 2008 at 4:28 PMAnonymous

esther here again..have u all sign the loan...i not yet commit with any bank...any recomand?i so woory bout this project....

 
April 9, 2008 at 12:27 PMAnonymous

Hello every one,
For those who have signed S&P and paid 10%, do not worry so much. There is law & regulations to protect the buyers. There is law & regulations about squatters as well. If you said, i do not want to move, then no body can do anything. Well, we might as well find an empty private land and start building our dream house.


This is the developer's headache and not ours. Even if we are worried, it does not help. I believe what is destined to happen will happen eventually no matter what you do. Even a completed tower can collapse if....

For those who still have the luxury to wait & see....
If i were you, why not wait for few more months until the construction begins. It is not that all the units will be sold off very soon. The only thing is may be you might not get the unit that you like in terms of location.

Thanks

Agreed with Anonymous. Right now i just treat that I already lose 10% in investment. Worry much will not help..

 
April 10, 2008 at 4:46 PMAnonymous

The developer phones me today and tells me that they has sent the SPA to the appointed lawyer firm. He said after the lawyer firm has done the stamping, we can get back the SPA.

I asked about land clearing stuff, is it possible to completed the property on time? They tell me don't worry, the land title has gained and the property for sure can complete on time if not they need to pay us. The land clearing stuff will start around 2 months from now, June 2008.

Then, I ask my lawyer firm and she told me that I can get back my SPA the latest Monday (14 April 2008).

So, to all my dearest neighbours, we now waiting for them to recover our confident back. For sure all purchasers are making the right decision like me to buy a very very special and lifestyle units in Penang Island.

Nusmetro...now We are waiting for you to prove that you can challenge other well-known developers and make it the success. If not, we all purchasers for sure will boycott you in future. Don't forget, Penang Developers are very very great. If you don't perform well, you don't have next time.

 
April 10, 2008 at 5:21 PMAnonymous

Yes, I agree with you. House buyers who have signed the S & P do not have to worry.
3 years from now, just sit back and relax.

We have went through enough thinking while deciding to pay the 10% or not. We chose to and so be it. The most important is most of us managed to get our choice of unit location, car parks location & early bird discount.

If your S & P is stamped on 14 April 2008 and if you did not get your unit by 14 April 2011, for every day delay, the developer will have to contribute to your "Renovation & Buy Furniture Fund". Penalty to be exactly.

Furthermore, i believe most of us (Early birds) who buy The Oasis is not really bother about the speed of delivery. Most of us are not that desperate to move in fast either.If we can wait for 3 years, what are the difference of 2-3 months delay (If any)? No sweat...

Let all the squatters issue, etc to be dealt accordingly by the developer. Before i commit last time, i went to the side and already knew settlers are there. I was convinced by the developer that there are laws and order in the country. The settlers were compensated legitimately.

Any way, let's hope everything will be fine.

Thanks

 
April 13, 2008 at 7:20 PMAnonymous

Yeeoh...... I already get back my S&P from my lawyer liao...

Hi everyone....
I still have my deposit with Nusmetro.
Please refer to todays STAR 14th April 2008..page N20 Heading: KARPAL: Official may have defied order.
That particular land they were talking about is whre OASIS shd be, thats why Nusmetro cldnt get hold of the project site.
RGDS

 
April 15, 2008 at 8:43 PMAnonymous

Thx racing. I am so busy that these few day din read the Star.

I have the same idea with racing. I think the article refer to Nusmetro since I was informed to collect back my SPA.

Btw...all the purchaser...have you all signed the loan agreement. I was asked to sign as well?

I am quite confuse and dunno want to sign or not since I am the first time buyer.

Anyone experience buyer can comment or give suggestion?

 
April 16, 2008 at 10:23 AMAnonymous

esther here,
hi..i also not yet sign the loan..later i will go to meet the RHB officer..anyone have any ideal for the loan?/thanks alot

 
April 16, 2008 at 10:25 AMAnonymous

Hello everyone,

The reasons why I think the article related to the Oasis:-
1.) 2.6ha~=6.5acres (1 hectare = 2.47105381 acre)

2.) joint venture between coperation and private company

3.) Hindu settlers

4.) Seri Delima state assemblyman and Bukit Gelugor MP involved.

5.) 28 March 2008 and these two weeks we, purchaser get informed that the SPA is ready and land title also gained alredy

Actually, I plan to sign the loan agreement as well. Quite confuse now....any experience purchaser can comment since I am the first time house buyer

...I choose you Oasis...you are lifestyle...younglish but now got this kind of issue. REaLLy PaniC!

 
April 16, 2008 at 2:08 PMAnonymous

Hello everyone again,

Just check with the Nusmetro and the sale agent, Henry Butcher agent said that everything is okay and they will start to clear the land. Is it can believe since they claimed that the newspaper may write non related stuff?

Does any purchaser sign their loan agreement already?

 
April 16, 2008 at 2:10 PMAnonymous

One more thing, they claimed that got 2 sale agents: Henry Butcher and Sim?

Is it possible?

 
April 16, 2008 at 7:47 PMAnonymous

Last few months when i visited Nusmetro office, the sales person already told me that they have new competitor..

 
April 16, 2008 at 8:49 PMAnonymous

i collected my refund of the deposit today from Nusmetro. I did ask them regarding the project and posted them quite a lot of questions.
They simply couldn't answer much. Anyway good luck to all.
Cheers

You collect your deposit? the 10% or the booking deposit?

Have you sign the SPA?

 
April 18, 2008 at 8:57 AMAnonymous

anyone can share more bout Oasis news on Star paper (14th April)??

 
April 21, 2008 at 4:13 PMJL

I think is good if developer look into the security for oasis espeacially on high rise BlockC.
Due to the jacuzzi & BBQ is located at 14th floor,means lots of ppl (include outsider)will be able to enter high rise building (any floor) anytime.
This will make the high rise resident feel no more privacy coz if the person able to enter that building means it can visit any floor.
Another problem that i found is if ppl go for swimming (at ground floor) and follow by jacuzzi at 14th floor that means high rise lifts will be always wet & dirty.
I hope that the developer & designer will look into this seriously before their plan finalize. They can either make the card from others block as 'limited access' means only can enter 14th floor & may be 1/4 of the lift which only can access 14th floor & etc....
Please give any commend if any of you have experience on this.

 
April 21, 2008 at 4:33 PMJL

just visit bayswater last week, found that their card system for block B only can access the sauna room which is on block A, and block B card cannot access to Block A card scan gate.
I found that infront the lifts of blockA&B have a security on-duty + CCTV + electronic card scan system.

Hope that the developer will factor all this in for Oasis project to tighten the security & privacy of this luxury condo

 
April 23, 2008 at 9:38 PMAnonymous

Developer won't care much now on issue liao since they still having issue with the resident there that do not want to leave...
They can't even start anything not even their "The Oasis" indicator at the area... Don't hope to much on this stage... hai.... sien nia keep waiting

Hi BMS,

Thanks

 
April 24, 2008 at 3:06 PMAnonymous

im also hoping that the developer able to solve the land issue before june08 as what they promise....if no improvement again then ill be realy 'si sim' with Nusmetro d,i bought a unit during soft launch and keep on waiting n waiting.... : (

 
April 24, 2008 at 3:09 PMAnonymous

Nusmetro cant even take possession of the project site. I am not collecting my SPA yet, by right I have told the lawyer in charge to hold back until my further notice.
Lawyers are suppose to protect buyers not vendors, these day they will listen to developers.
Not necessary to apply for your loan yet, not until they get hold of the project site.
It is safer to protect ourselves, dont think that if we have collected the SPA and rush to get the loan, we are secured.We are not secured untill we get the keys to the property.
Right now, developer cant even get the project site...so play safe...dont tight ourselves down too much when project looks vv bleak. Even if can be solve...question is WHEN...I am not waiting for delays.

 
April 24, 2008 at 4:15 PMAnonymous

IR also having same problem last time. The project launch in 2004/05, and only able to start the construction in 2007.

anyone know why developer suddently sign all the S&P??
any reason behind??
why previously they on-hold for quite some time and recently they sign the S&P??

 
April 25, 2008 at 10:57 AMAnonymous

Maybe S&P signing can help to stop existing buyer to withdraw the booking?

 
April 25, 2008 at 11:10 AMAnonymous

found that this project is using Cement sand bricks / pre-cast concrete panel, why using pre-cast concrete panel for luxury condo?? this type of 'LEGO' method normally use in low cost project right?? anyone have experience in this can advise??

 
April 25, 2008 at 1:08 PMAnonymous

The project was launch & booking was accepted before Nusmetro obtain the developers license & Sales+Advertising license for Oasis project.
By right, they cannot make sales or accept booking fee without the license. In order to collect money thru' booking fee fast, they have instead engage legal firms to act as a stake holder to hold our money. In the initial letter we sign with the lawyer says it all. But as with every developer who does this money is definetely channeled to them.
Later after obtaining these license we are called to sign the SPA and pay up to the 10%.
There are many ways to cheat...basically its "legally right but morally wrong". Another instance is the SPA read 700sq ft...and the rest is under renovation to make up to the 1000++ sq ft. If you read the SPA properly the is a clause saying " The terms in this SPA are bound for the contract only" no other docs or draft other then this SPA can superceed the contract. Meaning if at the end of the day if dev' provide us with 700 Sq ft only, we have somethg to argue but nothing to win the day because all other drafts and letters beside the SPA are of no worth. It can be contested but we cant win the day.
Above all, normally dev' will keep to the promise with the extra space , its done to do with bylaws and contributions.

 
April 25, 2008 at 3:30 PMAnonymous

it is normal to use sand brick in Penang. it is cheapper and the unit will be warmer. However, it provide better adhesive to the plastering work. the wall surface will be nicer (still depend on the workmanship). also, it will not peel off after many years like we saw on those old houses, the plastering peel off and see the red brick inside...
700sf in S&P and extend later, just to get cheapper licence cost from goverment. it is normal and should not worry too much. i-regency also same.....

 
April 25, 2008 at 6:58 PMAnonymous

Sorry..anonymous..i also fist time buyer...dun hav any experience..since they haven't get the land issue solved. i think we still can delay our bank load agreement.

Anyway...i looking for my luxury condo to be built...

In today's The Star,the State Govt has directed to the District Officer to withdraw the eviction order at the project site. This surely is a matter of concern. The project may not tske off or may be severely delayed. I'm going to cancel my booking today and get back my deposit. Good luck to you guys.

 
April 29, 2008 at 2:39 PMAnonymous

Today, 29th April 08 at 2:00 pm.The settlers with some others & their representative ADUN having an audience with CM Lim Guan Eng to discuss matters related to the transfer of land from state govt. to koperasi whc is deemed illegal.

Do you notice anything in Star?

Thx.

Hi bms...
There was nothing in the Star the following day.
Meeting was a close door....CM wasnt around and reps met his secretary.
Nothing much for now, but whts certain is the project wld not take off anytime soon. Not within this year at least.

 
May 2, 2008 at 1:11 PMAnonymous

Heard from developer that they are requesting court order to move out the settler. Secondly, the developer is also pressuring the panel lawyer to close this case asap as the delay will not benefit the developer in case unable deliver on-time.

 
May 3, 2008 at 1:50 PMAnonymous

Hi everyone,

i collected back all the 10% and also the RM100 from the developer last week. Yup they needed around 2 weeks to process the payment. issuing HL cheque.
Anyway good luck to the rest of the investors. I had personnaly drove by the project site but nothing at all. The present residents still there with their normal daily life.
BTW, you need bank reject letter to get the deposit back. Bank will issue you the letter if you request from them.

 
May 4, 2008 at 9:03 AMAnonymous

why so many problem with this project? i was very interested in this project until i read through everyones experience and concern.

1)Land still not acquired
2)Project keep on delaying
3)S&P only state 700 sf instead of 1000 sf
4)Various selling prices by developer
5)Car park not side by side
6)Low cost flat beside it

I dont mind the leasehold or high maintenance fee as I am fine with it. Anyone have other condo to recommend? Please let me know thanks

 
May 4, 2008 at 2:21 PMAnonymous

so pity my friend who is oasis buyer, dunno wait until when only will get the house completed, and somemore the snp just 700, which is worrying.

 
May 4, 2008 at 10:09 PMAnonymous

Recommend you a condo. THE SPRING by IJM. quite nice actually. Sea view. Maintenance only RM150

 
May 5, 2008 at 9:47 AMAnonymous

The Spring?Living beside dumpsite by paying 250K?No way.....

 
May 5, 2008 at 1:47 PMAnonymous

I had collected my deposit as well, but they do not return me the RM100. I need to go to Oasis office and collect it again...

 
May 5, 2008 at 4:38 PMAnonymous

Hi my fellow withdraw fren,

May I know have you all signed the SPA and pay all the lawyer fee and the 10% deposit and then withdraw?

Like my case, i have signed the SPA and so scared and want to withdraw...i think i wil get fined right? what time of money loses i will incur?

Can anyone help me?

Thank in advance

 
May 5, 2008 at 10:44 PMAnonymous

this is really bad considering they commissioned established valuers like Henry Butcher to do the marketing.

I guess its every buyer's nightmare to get caught in the developer's empty promises. Looks like another majestic heights in the making.

 
May 6, 2008 at 8:01 AMAnonymous

For my case, my bank loan has been rejected by Public bank. Thus, I do not sign S&P or pay any lawyer fees. I decided to withdraw my deposit after I make up my mind.

 
May 6, 2008 at 5:20 PMAnonymous

So, you take up any other projects? I am interested to know if there is any other option now.

 
May 6, 2008 at 11:31 PMAnonymous

Dear withdrawers,hope you are doing te right thing.I bet yo will regret after they settle the thing,they just need legally demolish the the site.Anyway,it's ur choice.you should go for ready built condo but not new project:)

 
May 7, 2008 at 9:16 AMAnonymous

I do not take up any other projects, just wait for other opportunity in future. Somemore I think it is not good to discuss which apartment are better for options as we are talking about Oasis. :-)

 
May 7, 2008 at 12:43 PMAnonymous

In my case, its just the way things are going.I do not like project starting off having a lot of unsettle things. I just lose the interest, whtr they will settle it later or sooner...I have just lost the bite for this one.
Yesterday, had tea with lawyer & bank manager....a few banks have already earmark oasis...they wld not do end financing for this project as for now.So those of you whom have had yr loan rejected...maybe its not bcause of yr financial status...check again for other projects.
Regards

 
May 8, 2008 at 1:56 AMAnonymous

dear all,

I was also initially interested but i did not buy due to 3 contracts way of practise.

For a simple illustration, if we have doubts or feel uncomfortable even with this so called 3 contracts thing, will you think as a new buyer he/she will not have such concern. It will definitely delay or influence the process of decision making and hence sub-sale speed may not be speedy. Then, value drops! I believe this is the first killing point not considering many other factors as well. Good luck.

 
May 8, 2008 at 9:56 AMAnonymous

If the developer is capable, I will say this is no major concern. They will have until 2011 to hand over the units. As long as they able to ge 40% sales, it is sufficient for them to complete the condo. For the rest units, they will able to sell at higher value along the way.
But I did not choose this condo because of lease hold status.

 
May 8, 2008 at 11:51 AMAnonymous

I'm staying nearby that area and i personally felt that its not worth for that price although i consider to buy one unit there previously:
- spend so much of money but its leasehold!
- too expensive (carpark have to top up money, its ridiculuos!)
- near to mosque
- the land is not nice land. When raining heavily, it will flood
- low rise flat nearby the area
- above RM250K but no seaview
- Facilities provided is not attractive!

 
May 8, 2008 at 1:38 PMAnonymous

flood?? the project side is on the small 'mountain' right??
may i know which area will flood??

 
May 8, 2008 at 3:41 PMAnonymous

The project land is on a valley, but I think developer will raise the land.
I also think the facilities are ok, just the maintenance fee a bit expensive. I thought lease hold unit should be cheaper?
Seaview is not so superb in my opinion. City view is better especially at night.
Property with seaview, normally closed to seaside. You will pay for more, for your car and electronics devices....

 
May 8, 2008 at 4:14 PMAnonymous

dont worry...This project is marketing by Henry Butcher Penang, somemore is guarante by HB's director-Dr Teoh Poh Huat said that the project will start soon.

 
May 8, 2008 at 4:19 PMAnonymous

guys, i m lazy to read all the comments here, but anyways, i bought 1 of the unit here also, as wat i know is buyer are protected under the rules n regulation by the government, so.... Anyways, i believe is really hard for me to get another condo like this at this kind of prices in penang ISland, n this is the main reason i bought it~!

 
May 8, 2008 at 4:54 PMAnonymous

any news update for this project??

Anonymous,
would you mind to share the link which HB Director said??

Thanks in advance

 
May 9, 2008 at 2:08 PMAnonymous

Well...HB director said that starting soon. Saliva is cheap !! Is Dr. Teoh Poh Huat giving a personal guarantee. Why don't he make a black & white guarantee or quote it in the local daily. I'm sure the reporters will be delighted to print it since all the fuss abt oasis.
Buyers are protected ??? but how well protected, how come all those abandoned projects, buyers still have to pay their installments.
Wht if this project got stuck frm taking off, and oasis cant pay us back the deposit. You think Dr. Teoh will undertake to repay us. Think again....

 
May 9, 2008 at 4:09 PMAnonymous

Let's don't be so negative yet. The project still alive. Just some problem need to be solved.
I would like to see another condo standing up 3 years later because the demand on Penang property is high.

 
May 9, 2008 at 5:06 PMAnonymous

i agree with you... lets have positive thinking and give Nusmetro some time to settle the issue... Nusmetro, i give you full support...

 
May 10, 2008 at 2:10 AMAnonymous

Hmmm..not a good sign since HB Director has to give verbal assurance... i dunno abt u guys but i am adopting and wait and see attitude man... those squatters are the source of all the problems.

May 12, 2008 at 9:55 AMAnonymous

Well, when I bought a property in construction, I appreciate the +ve points, but at the same time, I wish to dig for the -ve as well. Especially at this time, I will not willing to be in dark for what happening. I prefer inviting the buyers to share what they know here. And take some actions is possible.
If this is only about the +ve points only, I think I am at the wrong place.

 
May 12, 2008 at 5:31 PMAnonymous

just ignore those loser .. just scare oasis project have promblem. why not you consider buy the spring already have building confirm no promblem,

We all at here is sharing the information, I am also 1 of the Oasis buyer.

 
May 12, 2008 at 6:38 PMAnonymous

All projects also have problems la. It's just how you look at it.

SPRING also have it's own problem la. Near TNB power station, just beside smelly river, rubbish burning at the rubbish hill nearby,
Near seawage plant, facilities also not attractive.

True, we have got to identify all the negative points but we have also got to look and admire the good things about Oasis.

Some problem are just hiccups. Eg:- the squatters are just small issue. The project will not be abandoned because of this. It will only be abandoned if the developer close shop.

Come on la... the developer also have project elsewhere that it can make money. Because of just one project delay, the developer close shop ?. That's silly right ?

 
May 12, 2008 at 7:33 PMAnonymous

no ler the developer won't close shop la.. it will just delay this project until the buyers run out of hope lo...

squatters not a problem? Squatters = project delay = cost overrun. Gee, if you familiar with property development..u better pray that doesn't happen!

 
May 12, 2008 at 9:16 PMAnonymous

So what if project over run. If project delay, we get our compensation.

U know, Sri Permai at Jalan Free School, project delay for 1 year. We all get our compensation. RM5,000

:-)

 
May 12, 2008 at 11:16 PMAnonymous

and you are happy just to get compensation which bring u back to square one? Lost time, lost effort chasing, sleepless nights... well, if people like you love these kinds of thrills, go ahead!

 
May 13, 2008 at 8:48 AMAnonymous

what i am trying to say is, IF project delay, don't worry your socks off. Everything will be just fine.

 
May 13, 2008 at 9:05 PMAnonymous

I checked on the Oasis site a few times since Chinese New Year. The construction was supposed to start somewhere in Apr/ Mar 2008 but I did not see anything going on until now. I called up the office and enquired about this and was told that the quarters would be given until June to move out and then only the construction work would start.

DId anyone of you call up the office and enquire on the delay?

Regards.

 
May 14, 2008 at 1:35 AMAnonymous

i guess the guy/girl who said its ok to have delay doesnt know much about construction schedule planning..

time = money

anyway, i'd rather aim for projects such as Vista Gambier which already started piling work or Summer Place which will start by 3rd quarter this year.. at least there's no delay to fret about..

 
May 14, 2008 at 9:05 AMAnonymous

If you wanna buy Summer Place Condo, be prepared to camp over nite. :-)

 
May 14, 2008 at 2:19 PMAnonymous

dat one even worse than spring... next to sungai pinang and goh tiao lor low cost.... and starting price rm270K????????

 
May 14, 2008 at 2:53 PMAnonymous

The developer just able to goreng the price to sky high. They already have 2 great achievements, Bayswater and The Spring. I am sure people will camp there as they influent by developer strategy. They always thing IJM project will be hot, no matter how bad is it.
So, if Oasis able to overcome the current problem fast, and able to complete the project successfully, I don't think why Oasis cannot be better than The Spring and Summer Place, in term of value.

 
May 14, 2008 at 4:36 PMAnonymous

But Spring and summer place have Promenade to enjoy. Some people consider that place as second gurney. !

Regret din buy Spring. NOw Oasis got lots of problem. :-( So sad... Really envy them. They get to enjoy their new home soon...

Spring with promenade? Did you really go and check it out? I went there a few times to check on the landed properties. The sea view is not as nice as Gurney Drive. It is totally different. Spring is facing heavy industrial area at Perai which is sore to the eyes. You need to go there and witness it yourself before u compare it with Gurney Drive.

Summer Place? Where is it located? I have no idea, so no comments.

Oasis location is strategic. However Nusmetro and Henry Butcher management really pissed me off. As a developer trying to penetrate into luxurious market, Nusmetro and Henry Butcher should come out and speak publicly about the delay and make every purchaser aware of the delay. WHY and WHEN the project will start must be publicly announces to all buyers. I spoke to Nusmetro Oasis project manager Mr Lee recently, his attitude sucks. Regardless of what, we as buyers deserved a PROPER explanation and not just "as stated on the S&P, we can still complete the project on time"! That is very unprofessional!

If Nusmetro is serious in expanding their property development in Penang, then they need to come out and clear out their SHITs on Oasis. They must know that their reputation has been tarnished. With such a lousy experience, I personally will not buy a second property from Nusmetro, even if they build another castle in the air and overseeing the whole planet!

Professionalism is very important in all industries, including properties. I am sorry that Nusmetro does not see this as crucial attribute in is business operation. If I am going to spread this bad experience and news to 5000 0f my colleagues in the company and they email it to one of their friends in Penang, within 5 days, Nusmetro's name will go down the drain and they can pack and leave Penang. NOBODY will support them in future.

My advise to Nusmetro and Mr Lee is to brave enough to STAND UP, COME OUT and SPEAK OUT to all purchasers about WHAT caused the delay and HOW it could be resolved within the shortest period of time. We understand that most projects will have delay. It is not the DELAY that is bothering me but WHY and HOW to deal the delay that are bothering me!

I have been given very fair comments since Jan 2008 regarding Oasis project and looked at it very positively but now I doubt. For me, if a person or company can not handle a case proefessionally, then it does not deserved a second chance! That's it!

I agree with you...

As a first time buyer, I am so uncomfortable with the way the developer handle this project.

Plz bring our confident back...

 
May 15, 2008 at 6:34 PMAnonymous

I admire you..spoken like a true professional..!!
we should start writing to newspaper or directly to Nusmetro demanding explanation..
perhaps government's intervention will help to speed things up..
I'm not sure if Nusmetro realised it or not but they're definately going down the drain the moment IJM launches The Summer Place..

 
May 15, 2008 at 7:18 PMAnonymous

Yes, as buyers, we all should unite and stand together. We can present the case to a local newspaper. In fact, I have friends working as reporters in local daily. I can definitely arrange him to goto the site, take photos and publish it on a newspaper. I believe that will generate free publicity to Nusmetro. I hate to resort to such a method in resolving this problem but if that is the only way we can do, I will have no doubt to execute it.

I had jsut set up an email account to gather all Oasis buyers together. At this moment, please email me your details to oasispenang@yahoo.com

I will gather as many buyers as possible before taking the next step.

Don't worry, if Nusmetro or Mr. Lee does not bother to settle this matter professionally, we will.

Regards

Hi all,

I realize that this blog basically delays the message I write for a few minutes prior to publishing it. In other words, our views might be reviewed by the blogger and also filtered. So far, I did not see any of my views being filtered or altered by the blogger. However, in order to ensure that everyone gets equal freedom in expressing his/ her views on Oasis Penang, I am creating a new uncensored BLOG for all buyers. The link is as below. Please feel free to visit it from now on.

http://oasispenang.blogspot.com/2008/05/oasis-penang.html

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to this original blogger in providing us a base to express and discuss our views here since early Jan 2008.

I hope all buyers will log into the new BLOG above to express your thoughts, so that I can consolidate all the information and take necessary actions.

Regards.

Earlier I pointed out about 3 contracts & common area issues which hindered me from buying but my voice was not heard of.

Just a little info, Nusmetro is a small company in KL and its projects in Penang are landed houses near carefour (i noticed a blogger said its workmanship was bad), mutiara idaman and mutiara height. The last 2 projects were built by Uda Bina, its Penang subsidiary. The main point here is about its after sales service.

Many ppl buys for the sake of buying not knowing its quality of service years later. My friend stays mutiara block and its maintanence sucks! There are many thefts, cases of car windows broken, petrol stolen, bike stolen, water pipes blocked,...etc.
You name it you get it.

The manager is Mr Lee and it could be the same man. My friend reported that his car windows were broken but no action was taken. What is the role of thid develpor when residents properties are at risk.?

Good advice does not come all the time. Hope this helps.

Hi all,

1) Land title has been obtained. U can get a copy of the document either from yr lawyer or Nusmetro office. Then you can doouble check with MPPP to ensure that the land title is valid.

2) Nusmetro is pending for court order to be issued by the end of May 2008. When they have court order, then they can demolish the quarters after a notice is given even though they are reluctant to move out. Lets check with Nusmetro again by end of May 2008.

3) Esther is right. We should remain calm and have a dialouge with Nusmetro in a more professional way, so that we will nto jeopardize Oasis' reputation and price in future.

alternately u guys can call lim ewe tatt, the COO of Henry Butcher who has been personally marketing this property during Nusmetro's launch before CNY. His h/p is 0124289633. Maybe he can give u some answers...

For below concern, I would think we could form RC as soon as we can to take over from management...

i think is good if Nusmetro will learn from IJM how they manage Bayswater and implement on Oasis.
Eg (what Bayswater have):
Security :
- CCTV monitor station at main guide house
- CCTV at car park, lift, staircase entrance.
- Security on duty on each block entrance
- Card scan system for main entrance, lift,staircase,gym,games room... entrance, & each block card only can access own buuilding.
- Security check point (at specific time bring the small 'kit' and roada all the checkpoint)
- The security realy clamp those who park at clamping zone or others ppl parking lots.

Cleaning
- Hire cleaner from a company (forget the comp name d) about 10ppl daily for common area cleaning.

Facilities
- Gym room, games room, study room... all equip with air-conditional.

and etc....

The thing i like for Bayswater is every house also have home security system which you can set your house alarm by zon (eg,living room, kitchen area....) & the system also have a panel with LCD screen which can view lift entrance area when ppl press your house intercom.
But the bad thing is the switch who press to release the door always malfunction.

Since Oasis only provide 2air-con point, 2ceiling fan point, TV & telephone point / each, hope Nusmetro will provide a check list for us to tick additonal point that we want add on so that when we move in no need to hack wall n consew the wiring again..

Realy hope that Oasis 'Luxury Condo' will have such standard to build up the living quality.

 
May 20, 2008 at 1:40 PMAnonymous

to me everyone have their 1st time, eventhough IJM also have their 1st time to build Luxury condo, but last time they only build all the low cost flats.
Small developer doesn't mean they are bad, everything also start from small & improve become better...as long as the developer willing to listen the commend & learn from their mistake for improvement one day they will success also.

Although this is the 1st Luxury Condo by Nusmetro, as long as they listen the voice from buyers for improvement & do the best, i believe that they deserve to have the change to build their 1st condominium.

Nusmetro, hope that thru this project you able to prove that you have the capability & have such quality vs IJM project.
Please don't make us dispointed k.... all the best to Oasis & Nusmetro

I agree with you.

Who has no first time?

To all the intelligent and articulate commentators:
Think of yourself today. Let's say if no ppl besides you guide you, can you become the intelligent commentator today?

 
May 21, 2008 at 11:27 AMAnonymous

Seriously, we dont mind all the problems that are creeping up on Oasis project. In fact, most projects have their internal problems regardless of which developers. 6 months delay is not something uncommon.

I also do not care whether it is Nusmetro's 1st time, 2nd time or million-th time project. The one thing I dont appreciate is WHY doesn't Nusmetro notify us on the delay and also the future plans? How will they settle the problems?

Leaving buyers in worries and guesses is not very wise of Nusmetro and NOT PROFESSIONAL at all. I believe most of us do not mind to deal with problems but we must be well informed! Nusmetro is lacking on this!

Regards.

Could we make it on Sunday? Ask Nusmetro open on Sunday for Q&A. Since Monday is working day for majority of ppl..

 
May 22, 2008 at 10:21 AMAnonymous

Just talked with Nusmetro. Today is the court hearing to have court order to move out the settler. Hopes positive news from them today.

 
May 22, 2008 at 11:09 AMAnonymous

hope that they manage to get the court order and everything will be smooth.
But for the land opposite Oasis (to build hall) i think will be a bit tuff for them to move the squater, coz there is a small cow farm with about 20~30cows. Where are they going to move their cow if the land also use for developement.

 
May 22, 2008 at 11:26 AMAnonymous

I realy have the land transfer copy... i get it fr my lawyer 1
he said if have any doubt can give him a call and he can give explanantion... 04-2839889

 
May 23, 2008 at 2:27 PMAnonymous

anyone have any update?

 
May 23, 2008 at 3:48 PMAnonymous

Reading TheStar newspaper today page N33 surely makes things worse. :(

 
May 23, 2008 at 4:24 PMAnonymous

Mr.Lee may have the copy to prove that land has been transfered to them. But the issue here is that the people staying there has filed an injunction to stop dev. from getting a summary judgement over vacant possesion of the land.
This means that dev. hasnt obtained the vacant possession of the said land and how could Mr.Lee said they are getting the work done by June or the residents getting out from the land by June.
Mr.Lee may have the the transfer papers meaning the sales of the land from the state but it is of no use if there is no VP obtained. The issue here is that the residents are saying that the state cld have not make the sale to koperasi because the land doesnt belong to them and the is no prove that the Federal Gov. have transfer the land to the state. This is like someone selling a property which is not even theirs.
