Anyone unit available?
what is the price range now?
DSSD sold out...check out with the developer...left bungalow
any owners want to sell semi detached for this residency cendana project?
hi interested here...i'm looking for DSSD unit facing north-east...is there anyone wants to let go a unit?
Main contractor employee comments by end June 2011 completion of the project not sure it is true or not? Price of housing escalating and how much does it worth for this bungalow and semi-D
got 6 units semi-D Bumi Lot open for sale now but price was updated. please check with www.rescendana.com
heard juru heights have a lot foreigners staying, not sure whether this taman would be the same or affected or not...considering this project, comments anyone?
semi d only left last corner unit, while bungalow left less than 10 units..
joe...please go and see the adjacent taman, phase 2, to the confirm many foreigner or not...i think occupancy is 40% non foreigner...
Hi Teddy, 40% non-foreigner?? then how about the other 60%?? All foreigner??
Interested in this project too but concerned about the foreigner issue?
Anyone can comment?
60% non foreigner to me is high...if owners renting out their units selectively then it might be better...is a good project after all..
GH,JOE....go to the taman and see for yourself...I do not speculate and i did not mention 60% is foreigner..could it be 60% the owner is renovating their building or up for sales? try not to confuse others. I think this taman is good as it has gated.
What about foreigner staying in Taman Sri Cendana, the so call phase 1....does it has many foreigner
looked i made a mistake! ok 60% local but there are differences between "gated & guarded community" and "guarded community"....if i am not wrong
SDDS selling at 545k will that be a foreigner lodger?
545k seems justified not for foreigner lodger...teddy, do you know more about this developer metrio development apart from what I have seen in their website? looking for house to buy in mainland this project seems nice...
joe, this developer is just above average, compare to it's peers and kept very low profile, some says they build quality home and good material use (I doubt). Keys is they don't abandon their project and keep it's delivery commitment.
thanks teddy, good material use maybe they build using clay bricks? got their brochure from website, is clay & sand bricks....why you doubt so?
joe, I always have doubt materials use regardless of houses, cars..and so on...but recently i visited the site and at auto city traffic junction indicating OC soon and the houses has been completely build.
Anyway, I am impressed by the design and the surrounding. Too bad I did not dot at the bottom line 2 years ago.
so it's been two years now...then i believe OC will be very soon...anyone here know when exactly OC will be out for this project? wish you get one before OC out and push up the price...
the OC been with developer, now waiting for bank to release full money to developer, then we can receive the key, the earlier next week.
jiayii, are you one of the buyer?
Hai! Today just received letter from dev. inform all Semi-D owners to collect key within this 2-3 weeks. Would like to know who are my neighbours? Please share all your info here.
hi jiayii,
how much would you like to rent out or sell it and what range of your house no?
i am one of the owner from plot 1 to 22...
jiayii, you bought for own stay or will rent/sell out?
Hi Teddy

Hi stranger

Another owner here :)

for own stay or investment?
Hi, Are u all having Children for Primary and Secondary School, Would like to know how they go to school? My children prefer to have more friends around.
i got no children so far..
Hi Stranger, when do you intend to move into your new premises? Since the house is empty I shall left it as where it is, after all it is guarded and upfront 6 months payment is bear by the developer.
Hi Stranger, when do you intend to move into your new premises? Since the house is empty I shall left it as where it is, after all it is guarded and upfront 6 months payment is bear by the developer.
Hey "unknown" why did you deleted your message? probably we could be good neighbour hood. Share your comment your thought and your feel in this blog.
HGH, i dont intend to just move in right away now...need to do some renovation before moving in lar..
how about you? when you will move in?
Do you have someone in mind to renovate your house?
no leh...so far dont have anyone that can think of...probably now finding window grille contractor first..
Would like to know how much it going to be for rental/sell. appreciate input for this semi D
Hi Teddy, u can refer web"mudah"
mudah got people wanna rent out 2.2k...not sure got people wanna rent or not lar...2.2k considered high in mainland already...better own stay
Thanks jiayii...stranger somehow agree with you, who want to rent on 2k2 on mainland. So expensive for DSSD...pheeww....595k omg....
Does any owner have complaint on the house workmanship after inspecting the unit SDDS? I have few but generally satisfy with the interior since renovation work will cover up those tiny defects.
Any comments or input from the owner?
@HGH, mind to share what are the tiny defects? does it need major renovation like 200K?
hi joe, it depands on individual life style what they want,those tiny defects will be taken care off, no worry it is still under warranty for 2 years after all as i mentioned i am satisfy....glad to meet any one of the owner at this taman to share and good neighbouring hood in future
hi HGH, i am not one of the owner though...just want to know the workmanship since OC has been obtained...i am considering sub sales
Hi Stranger,
I got one of the plot 1-22. Just went there this evening to look around (did not got in cause have to gotten the keys from dev). Saw a few folks there, most probably owners. Anyone from here?
Hi HGH,
I was the 'unknown'...first time posting over here and was unfamiliar with it. :)
hi benny, nice seeing you here in the blog. probably we shall meet up this coming saturday as the alarm vendor will be teaching us to set the alarm...
Hi HGH,
Nice to see you and other owners as well. You have gotten your keys? I have not, still pending $ to be transferred to dev.
hi benny, you want to sell your unit or own stay?
HGH, just afraid if buy sub sales already still need to throw 200K for renovation alone then cannot go lar...i mean renovation to cover this and that defects..
joe, those tiny defects cost nothing as i had mentioned Ivory Horizon will bear all repairs, tiny defects is like door not closing properly, window not proper seal...so and so forth.
i can see those advertize for sales RM590k ~RM595k SDDS just disappear for the web. could be selling hot or demanding is hot
benny, you will soon have yours since this is the last settlement of the loan balance....just be patient
thanks HGH...so you going for own stay or investment?
HGH, how about the workmanship? for example wall finishing? any leaks? i am not really familiar with this developer metrio...need to know their workmanship at least i don't have to do renovation to cover all these...
joe, seems like you have closed a deal and no one developer workmanship is perfect unless you yourself supervise the site whislt building it.
got comments from other people, they are contractor too doing renovation for houses, saying this buiding/taman workmanship is good compare to his worker skill....
any seller at what price?
Hi HGH and other owners,
What defects that you have uncovered so far? Would appreciate if you could share with all other owners so that they would pay extra attention to surface out defects and get them fixed.
Joe,
High chance I would staying as I like the design of the house. Unless I am offered with unresistable price :p
Hi HGH, good to hear that. I like the design n concept very much. Just cant wait to move in..
hi HGH, i did not close any deal..i think i am like teddy looking for potential sub sales...to be frank with you i am not looking at just this project...i even visit some new launches around mainland area...orange villa i guess you would know this project, nice design and idea but somehow workmanship is worst that many people feel disappointed with what they see in the show house...and those buyers need to prepare to fork out huge money for renovation that covers those defects that being done by the developer...with sub sales of 595K, people can go for bungalow arden type already...who would go for semi d?
i think i asked you before whether any major renovation is needed like 200k? if you go to forum also, you would see many people complain about orange villa project workmanship...so before buy must know the quality of workmanship lar...haha
joe, if you want to know about workmanship, please go and see yourself i think is better instead of asking here in the forum because workmanship really depends on your own opinions one...
HGH,Benny and Jiayi..nice to meet you all here...
same here stranger....anyone moving in soon?has the dev built a temporary guard house yet? i dont see it last sunday...
benny, not so fast yet...need to some renovation..
Just went to see my house today...havent get the keys yet pending bank to release last payment..saw some of the owners got the keys and check their units with family and kids...there is no proper guard house over there...just a temp counter for guards to sit at the lot 1 car porch...cars will need to register to drive past the barrier though...
I was there too to check the alarm system with the vendor and I think the application for TNB is not ready, saw the worker joining the electrical panel. Maybe the developer just meeting the deadline to hand over the key base on S&P.
One think I dislike why letting those sales person(s) to be station at the temporary security check point and they could able to check on the persons logging in the book and canvassing thier trade. Are they allow to do that?
Dear house owner out there any comments on my statement?
Yeah, i was being approached too asking which house number...i think there is no rules saying they can or cannot station there waiting for potential customers...i just hope they are not those gangster contractors that forced people to give them business...seeing a lot in recent newspapers and several police reports have been made...
Stranger, my believe is not truth and will not happen at this Taman, it is free from engaging any renovation contractor unlike many article written in many major newspaper.
Hopefully, this will give us a very peaceful of mind when one wanted to settle down at this Taman.
HGH, are you looking to renovate your house too? i mean like minor window grille, plaster ceiling?
Stranger, I will call up the original sample house designer/contractor for the quote. By this week.
mind to share with me the contact of the original sample house designer and contractor?
Hi! Benny n others,
would like to know what are the defects for the house,hope u all can share info, for my house, so far like below:
1) the main door not aline properly. minor hole can be seen at the top of the door.
2) the upstair room 2 toilet ceilling with hole, not yet cover.(maybe got reason??)
3)the ground floor toilet got minor yellow stain, afraid of leaking.
4) crack line at the backyard wall.
Many have applied for TNB & PBA...visited the site this afternoon and saw one household moved in.
Some minor repair job has been carried out by the contractor after submitted the defect form.
Jiayii,
Have not get keys yet. Should be next week. Will post up my findings when I go for checks...
By the way, any 'gangster' contractor issue here?
hi benny, jy, hgh, nice to meet u all. i will be yr future nb.
stranger, nice to meet u too.
i just submitted defect list. main defect is the masteroom ceiling leak & termite in the toilet.
Hello Uncle KO,
omg, you found termite then should call up the pest's control to highlight it to them as well as the developer.
this sunday i will be there at 10am, anyone interest to meet up to get to know each other?
Benny,
no sight of it may be there are, not sure, let see how it goes
yes termite! this will be the major problem if they dont inject the cure again. all my furniture will be damage in future.
i believe before they start built the house, dev will inject the termite cure into the land. thats what they show on the cert. but after 2-3 yrs, termite will be back. if i found in my house, tht's mean it will show up soon anywhere.
pls inspect carefully.
i will be there this sunday to collect back the keys & do the re-inspection. but only after lunch.
dont worry, lets keep this blog update.
be careful with foreigners...
kevinna, are you one of the owner? and thank you for highlighting the concern, my understanding of foreigner are...every taman regardless of gated or guarded or non of these, there are plentiful of alien. Like you say be careful with them...
Too many cases of curi's, kidnap, snatch thief. Everyone just need to be xtra careful and alert.
initial check on my house found major defect like the following:
1) master bedroom's wall and floor with water marks, potential of leaks
2) holes found on the wall of master bedroom
with inspect this weekend again whether got any termites found...
nice to meet you here uncle KO..agreed with HGH, mainland have many foreign workers so you can see them everywhere...just less or more..
Nice to meet you Uncle KO. How to check for termites? You can see them crawling around?
Has anyone start renovate their house? If yes, please share their vendor want to get the best quote. Saw few houses renovating at both LCI 1 & 2
hi benny, u can see those like wood residue.
any suggestion of the reno contractor? i saw tali concept at LC1.
yes. lets start community once we move in. don't ever let them (foreign) to move in.
i am interested to know what you guys would do for the hole in the center between two houses...cover them using transparent glass/plastic like the show house?
I see..thanks for the info Uncle KO. Will check it out...
Hi all, I'm looking to buy a house in mainland and saw this beautiful place. So I'm wondering if anyone has decided to sell theirs, if so please drop me an email with your contact and I will be interested to talk to you. Thanks Kenny
Hi, Kenny, I am also looking for one at this place, cause the house design look modern & near penang brg, some more heard this is individual title, not strata title, which I prefer most. But anyhow, seem not many people let go their unit.
Hi Kenny & Winnie,
you can refer to mudah.com
Ya,refer to mudah, still bargin with them.
i saw 1-2 houses on sell on mudah & also hanging a board in front the house (u can check there).
price up to 600k!!!???
guys lets hope the link from juru height to batu kawan will oepn soon, then this place can be HOT!
uncle ko,
i think this will take years to kick start the link....when building juru height taman there were talk of this link but till now nothing seen. Hopefully, representing this palimentary or the assembly man of juru can make things happening in due course.
hmm~~~ now even become a political problem.
anyway i heard some said the bridge already linked only the road not ready. no sure how true are this.
i have asked TNB to install the meter but still I dont have power to the house. anybody can advise what is wrong? also i found that under the meter (outside your house in the glass box), there are 3 rectangular boxes, and they are empty. is that suppose to be or something was stolen?
Hi Benny,
The rectangular shape is the fuse which was given to us at the very beginning when we have the key to the house, the so call in charge of the Taman gives us the fuse and subsequent Metrio personnel request us to return back to them.
My house also do not have that fuse inserted in, if one need the electricity, must inform Metrio to do so.
House owner, do visit your house if those with water meter, PBA has billed us. I had my receipt from the post box.
Hi HGH,
Oh....i tot was stolen or something...hahahah ....Thanks for the information
By the way, would anyone mess/steal anything from the electric meter box? It is very easily accessible. Should we reinforce it?
Yup i received mine as well (PBA bill). I think our tank is around 8000L? That's what I am billed with for last month...
Hi,
Anybody has water leaking issue? I have some, and the plaster sealing has some water marks and it was said that the leakage has been fixed and the plaster ceiling will be re-painted. Anyone could advise if it is OK to have the plaster ceiling be just painted? I am concern if the plaster ceiling will collapse or bulge after some time..
hibenny, i've the same problem. they just fixed it & re-paint. after that u won't see any sign of water leakage.
mmm~~~ if still happen, pls complain again.
Uncle KO,
Yours kautim? My concern is after some time (1-2yrs) the plaster will bloat or something...
Uncle KO, Benny let's meet up and share the water leakage spot, then go straight up the manhole to inspect. not just rely on complaint, sometime must see one.
Did anyone of you still keeping the sewage/drain metal hole cover. Do not know how to handle this item....close up worry the metal piece being steal....don't cover up the hole...the worker shit in the hole...so how...complaint to the developer ar?
benny, the spot is right middle at the master room. i got no choice bcoz i think it should be the roof leak, cant inspect by myself.
yeah probably 1-2 yrs wil leak again.
haha... HGH
the metal cover i keep inside the house, will only use once i move in.
after they repair all the defects, lets lock the gate to avoid worker do to u again.
anyone of u reno done?
UK,
dont't lock the main gate, the contrator will continue to perform the touch-up of the exterior or interior of the building.
I saw few houses being touch-up of the main wooden door, those crack line of the cement work and ete..etc.. be it outside or inside the building.
What we can hope is the heavy rain will flush all into the main stream....haha...the retaining pond. Who stay near to that pond?
my leakages in master room like have been repainted but still got marks there, dont know they have fixed it or not...i would not say it is done after developer call me to get my key back...heard from developer they will change the main door for us...since most of them have serious crack lines, and they are waiting for the supplier to send them new one for replacement...
hi HGH and Uncle KO,
Mine same on the master room. Abit on the the other 2 rooms. Really hope it can be really fixed.....
Am planning to cover up the air well between the car porches with those green tinted glass-like material. Any recommendations? Thank you.
Hi Unknown,
Hopefully I am your neighbor so that we can share share....hinted my contractor to quote this with polycarbonate roof, but just quote, do not know who my next door neighbor
Which LCI your house located?
Hi, im considering to buy air-cond. Any one of you would like to consider buying together in bulk???
actually i am trying to know who my next door neighbour is...a lot of things can share or buy together..got no idea how to find the contacts...
S.T.P,
Get in touch with the developer, believe they will let you know who your neighbor is.
One thing every owner need to know...the automatic motor gate wire is being snap-off to a very short length..whoever wanted to fix the automatic gate I think you owner need to feedback to the developer to get if replace.
HGH,
FYI, PC roof will be noisy when rain...
Correct Benny, sure noisy......one thing for sure there is no gangster contractor which I have been observe from the day we receive our key...for now...hopefully many people will stay in instead of renting out.
hi HGH,
Yea I see many houses started reno...so I guess occupancy rate is OK. Don't think got gangster contractor....normally happens for condominium only...havent heard for landed property.
Benny,
it is my pleasure with the same row with you, mind if you could share who your neighbors. Mine have chan & leow.
benny, your row is lorong cendana indah 1?
