BSG pick the wrong location to build the semi-detached houses because houses facing east is railway & facing west is busy main road, it is very noisy place to stay….sigh.

Yes, agree.
The location could be noisy with train travelling everyday after the two rails project completed.

is this project GnG?

Just beside the Tmn, will be very noisy

When can this project get OC? Already sold out?

i had been there in the show room coincidence train passing-by, i expect noisy sound with open window, but surprisingly it was not. when i close the window, i had to very focus only then can hear the train passing-by sound ….. wonder what material the developer use …. or maybe nowadays train no more using charcoal …. :o)

What’s the price now? Any unit left?

This morning visited the site, discoved that the developer only build two rows of houses only,what happen to the 3rd and 4th rows? Is because lack of demand or the developer wants to on hold when phase 1 obtain the OC then goreng the selling price for 2nd phase?(most of the developer do this way)

i’m interested on above project. what is the price right now? anymore unit left?

Jenny, i check last 2 weeks, left about 8 units, price now is 588k

Wow, expensive compare to IJM Permatang Sanctuary. The units left is facing road or railway? Do they plan to build more houses in between the railway and the exsiting house?

the unit left is facing road i guess, they plan to built another 64 unit in between raiway and existing house, price should be 600K and above i heard the sales told me b4.

they are opening for registration, you can try to ask.

sorry, is 68unit for phase 2.

@fty i had a chance to take picture during construction, looks like the material they use is red brick, see photo here https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/kIMZ5YxkLqwggScv_9t2gNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=email

so, sukiyeh, have you bought a unit here?

haha, i m waiting sukiyeh respond

it is now Taman Jasa…

In future, the train using electricity, dont worry no more noise

i bought one last year, dont know the price go up or not?

who is my neighbour?i heard the name change to Taman Jasa instead of Kensington residence. but who care, as long as the developer finish the construction and get the OC passed.

i also brought one unit last year, finally i meet my neighbour here.

for those facing the railway…i think better wait b4 for shifiting in…looks like their starting their phase II soon….

hi george, nice to meet you here, which unit is yours? are you stay at BM?

my unit is facing main road. I am stay in Butterworth.

BSG is selling the balance units at RM 638K now.
I stayed in that area before, my experience is back row is better than front row.
I think main road is more noisy than the rail, just my experience.
But it’s true than nowadays, train passing by is more quieter because no more railway crossing siren. Anyway, I think the location is great and convenient
My personal guess on OC is around October this year.

Is your infomation true? BSG is selling the balance units at RM638k?

My unit also facing the main road, i choose it becasuse the direction of fengshui suit for me, cause when i bought the unit, the row behind still have 3-4 units available. I bought last year already 568K, now the price 638K should be reasonable cause OC will be out soon.

yes, you are right, i just confirmed the latest pricing from the BSG.

George, how much you bought ?

the price i brought same as you.

FYI, Kensington Residence has been renamed to Taman Jasa to comply with local authority requirement. They’ve put up the signboard 3 weeks ago.

OC soon & tar’s road serve completed done by bsg.

i didn’t buy a unit

Anyone know about the guard house and CCTV where were shown during launching? I don’t see any guard house being constructed until now.

The guard house is located at the left hand side of main entrance, beside the TNB power house. Up to now, i didn’t see any CCTV over there.

Will there be another guard house at the other end?

i dun think so… only one house at the main entrance.

Ya la, Didnot see any CCTV, must check with BSG when VP, last time heard BSG want to implement Touch N Go system at guard house, didnot see also.

Yes, We have to check with them.

I don’t think that’s the guard house, it looks more like a club house or small function hall to me. It’s better to confirm with BSG office again.

Hi Frank, the guard house is facing the main road, that one facing show house is the community hall. this is based on my observation.

It does not look like a guard house, it seems more like a housekeeping store room to me? Anyway, let’s wait and see.

visited the site last weekend, landscape are ready with exercise equipment and kids play ground. phase 2 fencing already setup ….

hk, did you see any cctv? auto barrier gate? when you think the VP start?

@gshui
no, i didn’t see those things setup yet, i think these facilities will be setup after O.C. obtained. The security guard was patrolling the Taman on motor-bike as the house gate were not lock. not sure if the water and electric supply are ready, any ideas …. ?

Any news on when the O.C. Will be obtained?

I was at the site yesterday, met one of the contractors, he said there is no security guard house. They only have community hall (MPSP request) and one storeroom for housekeeping storage purpose. As for the OC, now left with few departments only, maybe 1 to 2 months time OC should be ready.

if there is no guard house, thn where should the security guard stay?? As this is the guarded project. Right?

Yap, that’s the question we all have to ask the sales guy? It’s still shown in their website, by the way.

I have one Unit – beside show unit for sale … anyone interested ?

@YSL
OC obtained? Price?

Just received letter from BSG to collect keys. Also asking for payment already.
How about you all?

@YSL
YSL, how much do you intend to sell your unit?
Thanks

I thought they are supposed to deliver only after the OC is obtained?

Hi Frank, i am also got the letter from BSG. We have to ask them where is the guard house and CCTV. BTW, where should we collect the key from them? Penang Office (Main)? Prai Office (Branch)?

I think the keys should be at Prai office. But, shouldn’t we take the keys after OC is obtained? How about the penalty?

Penalty?

The letter should be telling that they already obtained OC, therefore ask for 10% payment, however, i am not sure about it, is anybody called the office to double confirmed?and what you mean by penalty? Frank

In my case, the delivery date is overdue, so BSG has to pay penalty? Mine is more than 2 years already from the S & P date. According to the s&p, they can deliver the keys without OC, they only need certification from architect, which they already have. So the advice is don’t take the keys , wait until OC is obtained, but pay the down payment as instructed within 2 weeks. The grace period for defect complaint is counted from day you take the keys.

How come BSG also so many problems when building homes on mainland?

@Kston
Hi Serious Buyer : Will be below what market offered now … if interested please call me @ 019-4788818 .

anyone get the house keys?

No, no house key yet? But payment made according to the letter of demand. I was told it’s better to get the house keys after OC is officially approved.

Anyone of you get the keys already? I just got the letter today for collection of keys?

Received letter to collect keys? that means OC obtained? when you get the letter?and when can start collect house keys?

Keys are ready, but PBA and TNB connections are not ready yet? Basically OC is already obtained.

@Frank, the tnb and pba meter will be fixed after you bring the S&P letter to apply for new meters. I’ve collected my keys but the glass cover for the TNB meter got vandalized. a bit disappointed dont have guarded because previously why i buy last year they said it will be gated and guarded with only entrance being the guardhouse beside the comunity hall..

Received letter from MPSP, send by the “Pegarah of Penilaian and Pengurusan Harta”, dated 2-Jan-2013, the “cukai taksiran” as per below

Nilai Tahunan Baru = RM 8220.00
Kadar % Baru = 7.00
Cukai Setahun = RM 575.40
Tarikh Tutup Menerima Rayuan = 2-Feb-2013

I am not sure if this rate is fair and acceptable ? please advice, thanks you

I am also got the letter from MPSP. A bit disappointed on the actual house.

why? @georgetan

FYI, i understand the assessment of RM 8220 is based on the market rental price rate, we can go to MPSP to ask for OO (owner occupied) application form, and the rate assessment base can be reduced

@scliew
The S/D nearby is only paying around RM 350 per year. But this is for 2 – storey, so I guess perhaps RM 400 to 450 per year should be reasonable.

Have you gotten the OO application form yet?

I was told that BSG will build the security guard post (2 units ) soon.

@Frank thanks for the input, i hv not been to MPSP, yet to get the OO application form

Some defects encountered, renovation should come after developer patch and fixes. https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B0XU-Ny6QEtAQ2JzcHROakl1X1k/edit

Which MPSP office to go to? Is it the one at Bandar Perda?
@scliew

Yes, i was told MPSP at bandar Perda, somewhere nearby the inland revenue dept.

Any people (house owner) got idea on how to reduce the MPSP assessment fee? As the cost of RM575.40 per year is quite high.

@Georgetan goto mpsp at bandar perda and ask for owner occupied application form, this may help reduce the assessment rate

dear all, have anyone proceed with the owner occupied? and what is the best rate?

Hey there,
Is there a second phase for this project?
When will OC obtained for the built up house?
Whats the progress now?

Thanks

I have been to MPSP, they said can make “rayuan” online http://www.mpsp.gov.my/, i tried login follow the given username and password, but failed with account is not created ….

According to the customer service, the owner occupied form is for refund purpose.

No choice, i will submit my rayuan to email pen@mpsp.gov.my ….. the “alasan” i am going to give is “owner occupied” under seksyen 142: (1a) in muka surat 3

Bumi lot open for public …. new show unit, open house at jalan megat harun, bm …..

New show house is selling at RM 1.39 million, really worth it? New price for intermediate unit is RM 688k.

compare with BM utama, which area is better? example school, market, smooth traffic, security and environment.

Anyone going to MPSP meeting about the cukai pintu at this coming wednesday?

i am going to MPSP for the assessment hearing this wednesday …

a lot ppls bought this house?
i went to showhouse today, not bad…
688k now with 6 air -con, renovated kitchen….. worth?

who is the owner for No. 76

How was the meeting in MPSP?
@scliew

Anyone interested the one in back row? Number is 5X.

@Frank there were 7 of us facing ~10 of the MPSP staff 😀 …. they will consider and adjust the rate lower a bit, how much ? dunno …. wait until we receive the final assessment in next 1~2 months ….

Thks for the update.
There is a rumour that BSG is considering to sell the empty land behind for purpose other than residential instead of building houses. Anyone is aware of this?
@scliew

Any house (facing main road) want to rent? Please call 012 493 6030. @gshui

how much the rental?

any unit left house facing the main road?

call developer

I wonder why nobody moves in and so many unit for sales?

Tim :I wonder why nobody moves in and so many unit for sales?

Majority buyers are investors. They bought not for own stay. More units will leave blank.

@sg

This is the sad thing when one nice taman become too quiet.

is it G&G?

Less than 8 units are occupied in the first row when i pass by yesterday..

This is the sad situation. People buy for investment and leave it empty while people who really need a house can’t afford to own one. Then the house rented out to foreigners.

Fews houses empty is okay. But if let say 80% of them empty, then it is not healthy.

I have called to developer. Only 4 units left, unfortunately some are facing electricity box.

Can anyone advise on the procedure of appeal in assessment ? and may i know how much after appeal? We just get a key from developer. Thank you.

@scliew

Anyone can tell this worth to invest?

@JJ

I think the location of this project is great, good school network (BM High School, Jit Shin, Primary Schools), wet and supermarket in Kota Permai, good accessibility through the widen Jalan Song Ban Kheng…

The negative part is definitely be too close to the railway track. Furthermore, the Electric Train System (ETS) between Ipoh & BW will be started in April 2015.

How many trip the ETS will be per day…? Below the ETS schedule between KL & IPOH as reference…

How close between the railway track and your door step..? Below video taken on site…

@annee after appeal, yearly assessment about 500+, cannot remember the exact figure

@scliew

Noted with thanks, will go for appeal after receive the notice.
Btw, my parents are owner of No 82.

Price stagnant at RM600k ++.. Not much ppl stay here.. Purely investor,

now, more ppl stay … unfurnished 600k++

good place to stay

I stayed here for 1+ year. Those who claim for railway and main road noise pollution are merely speculation. it is trivial, in fact i found it is sometime too quite…

1. anyone appeal on assessment fee which is RM590.40 a year?

2. Security guard is collecting the fee RM60/month, i have confirmed with BSG, the guard services is under their company. We no need to pay extra. My car window was broken after 1 day as we refuse to pay. We have make a police report.

@annie
1) Can we still appeal it after so many year of completion?

2) this mean that outside security guard come over here to collect the money?

Any owner willing to sell ? I am looking for unit to stay.
