@ck

Pls watch ur mouth, 350k is still hard earn money. I know u afford million dollar property and lead a high standard quality life.

@ck

nowadays staying in big house does not mean you are not rich.
What count is attitude and hospitality we show to neighbourhood.
Now i am staying in luxury neighbourhood but thier attitude is unfriendly at all, not knowing each other…you think this is good and hormony?

ck :
350++k house will have many pariah neighbourhood

omg, for all Central Way buyer, all are low class ppl, all is pariah neighbour…i am 1 of low class ppl, 1 of pariah neighbour.

Property talk should have a unique ID for everyone… Now there’s so many ck around… Next there will be so many YY, JC and KSY clones…

Ck
luckily u r not my neighbour.. poor doesnt mean pariah.. U r good example of pariah ppl..

ck,

although you are rich like millionaire, from your words I dont think you have good mentality and qualified as a GOOD neighbour, nor earn other ppl’s respect. It doesn’t matter how rich are you or how poor are you, important is one’s mindset and their mentality.

Rich ppl also have some which is macam pariah, like you…

this project is for pariah people only ? lol …

Examples of rich pariah staying in luxury neighbourhood
1) Pimps
2) Drug Lord
3) MCA / Gerakan Parasites
4) CK

Hi, I keen to buy a unit but hope to clarify the below statement before booking….
1. Nearby Railway Station ? : anyone go to experience by own the impact during trains passing by instead of asking the opinion from the residents there. If they have stayed there for many years, they used to the sound pollution without feeling…would suggest to check the Trains timetable & reserve a time to experience by own if we can accept it. Heard that sound is terrible if so nearby & even the house itself can feel….??? not sure how true is ?
2. “Banjir kilat at lok yan and main road…..??”…the only entrance to the new housing area ? even the new housing area is not affected, we have to analyze also any significant impact to us as we need to drive in & out everyday from the main road to work / etc… any alternative road during flood..?
Hope to receive your valuable comment on the above queries…tks.

@TT
1.From the map, the distance from the railway to the taman is about 600m, u can go and experience the impact of railway 600m away from you.
2. There is a plan from developer to open a road to nagasari, but i think this road will have pro and cons. Pro is you can easier access to the taman if you are coming from penang bridge side. Cons is there will bring foreign labor to the taman and make the taman feel nt peaceful.

@JC
Cons is there will bring foreign labor to the taman and make the taman feel nt peaceful ?
So, our central way safe ?

This is just my opinion, i might afraid this happen. Hopefully it will not once the road is open. And it will have the opportunity that some owners will rent to foreign workers if intend to buy for invest. But for G&G, i think the effect inside the taman will be minimize.

Hi
I also need someone to tell me whether thr noise is there.my opinion is nw foriegn worker hv shift to juru height. hope centralway wont b another foreign worker living place

It is possible some owners will rent to foreign workers inside the G&G taman ? Nagasari & Taman sutera are foreign worker living place as well.

@Jess
If the owner is purposely buy for invest, then he/she surely will rent out to cover and earn back some money. If there is no high demand for ppl renting the house, it has possible will rent to foreign worker as well. It might be happen, but i hope it wont happen.

Thnks JC for your valuable comment…..

Hi TT

Decide to buy ?
Fyi.. 40 unit sold out , all buyers are Chinese.

today went to site, i saw they start painting the house. The house colour is same as Taman Merbau Indah and is not as the broshure grey colour. The design of staircase handrail is not as nice as Taman Merbau Indah. The wall beside the staircase/the wall direct facing the main door is just around 4-5 ft high and is not reaching the ceiling as Taman Merbau Indah.

@JC

I prefer the wall not to reach full height coz i most probably will hack it to put glass

Hi jc. Thanks for update.. Hope to receivemore update from u soon.
Hi ksy.. Ya I thk I prefer to put glass on it to make the staircase more bright

@JC
Color same as Merbau Indah ? U mean the exterior color or ?
The construction worker said is brown grey color wor , before I bought the developer also said color is different with Merbau indah . Anyway thanks for ur update .

@Jess
Ya, is exterior colour. I saw the first unit they already paint some parts colour same as taman merbau indah. I also expecting it is grey colour as broshure but it turn up as Taman merbau indah.

@JC
Ok , we need to wait till the show unit done only can know the color . Hope won’t same as Merbau indah .

So far i know there are few units from D-Link for sale, with the price of ~RM330k for intermediate units and ~RM380k for corner unit. The location there is more strategic and convenience, very near to Raja Uda. Althought the land size and total buildup is smaller a bit compare to Central Way, but it can be a good deal, a completed new house, no need to wait for another 3 yrs, with the price close to this Central Way.

Who knows if the Undersea Tunnel turns to reality, the price of houses at Butterworth (Raja Uda, Bagan Ajam, Taman Bagan, Bagan Lallang, etc.) will shoot up a bit, D-Link can be one of them.

You can reach Gurney Drive (to shop at Gurney Plaza or Gurney Paragon) in about ~10km distance from Butterworth thru Tunnel, haha….

@Hernan Yeoh
As I know intermediate price Rm398k , width only 18′ summore the road too narrow d if 1 car park at outside , others car cant access the road d . Agree , is quite convenience place but envirnoment not good as central way .

Jess :
@JC
Ok , we need to wait till the show unit done only can know the color . Hope won’t same as Merbau indah .

Based on the colour i think it is same as taman merbau indah, a bit dissapointing.

@Hernan Yeoh

Probably need to wait for 10 -20 yrs b4 this undersea tunnel can be used, now still at vr early stage.

Hi jess
Any idea u can change the ground floor room ? Or hv u plan to use it as syore roo only? I really hv big internal conflict when decide to buy or not to buy corner unit. May need ur opinion tq

@Gcsla
Yes , I plan to shift the room & toilet to behind.
But I need to extend the backyard only got extra space to shift.
This plan can make the dinning room & ground floor room bigger.

ic.. wht i notice from D-link is we only can put “awning ” at the back without backyard extension. tht’s why i pulled back to chose standard intermediate unit

Helo all, i have purchased a unit also, i know there there r many factory workers/operators there hope can rent out for a good price when it completed. I looking for 1k rental per month

@gcsla
Hope we can get approval from community for backyard extension .

That’s a very reasonable target. 1000/4 = 250.00. You can rent out to foreigner also with this asking price. Can invest….

central unit
u can buy juru height with cheaper price to rent to foreigner instead of this . over there cheapest price n get rental immediately instead of invest 3 year to wait for the completion of contruction. ‘

Yes, i think buy a gated and guarded landed house for rent is a bit redundant, unless your target tenant is expatriate with some requirement of security and ‘luxury’ living environment, so you may need to rent out with fully reno. RM1k need to minus maintenance fee (RM99++??), with 90% loan and 30 yrs tenure need to serve monthly installment of ~RM1450 (think twice for rental investment, this is going to be absolutely negative cash flow).

Btw, still can compare to De-Link now, how much they rent out? Any idea?

@Hernan Yeoh I just bought a unit and plan for renting it out, RM1k per month will be easy to get as there are many factory foriegner operators surrouding

I reflect what SP is saying. First it’s affordable and it makes a lot of sense to rent out. Good luck ppl..

I thk central unit,cb n sp is same person. I thk he must b crazy to kacau.. Thk la. how can abus kilang go deep tht narrow acess to tht taman. If u wanna wait for a propety b ready to rent.. Tht is radiculous..may b u wanna ka ka cau shj.. But aan kacau also need to use mind to thk

@gcsla
Hi Gcsla
Can I know which legal firm u’re looking ? Use Ibrahim & Kim or others ?

hi
i hvnt decide yet.. no time to survery yet.would u mind to give me email? so tht we can keep touch to discuss .Tq

@dg i tot i saw vietnamese n bangladesh r on bicycles? Nv see them on bus.

@gcsla
I did add you before in MSN
My email address : missbee_tan@hotmail.com

@dg

I see you are so defensive where comment are not allowed?

1. I have no vested interest in this tiny project. Period.
2. I think it’s not that expensive, and the rental yield will be promising based on 1K.
3. For own stay, it will be okay provided you can control the inflow of neighborhood. This I am saying if the owner wanted to rent his units out, that is not against the law.
4. I dont have any agenda and certainly does not wish the place to become a Bangla second home. I getting nothing from this if your sweet home project fails. But I can see the probability of renting out is very real for good return.

I assume you are a buyer and would like to only hear beautiful feedback. You are kidding yourself… go on dreaming on this beautiful project of yours.

I bet my comment is not going to be welcome for ppl like you. This will be my last. Good luck…

@dg you guess is totally wrong, this is freedom column don’t be too defensive for ppl to comment, anyway if you are not a buyer pls should care less.

my investment profile always looking for rm300k – 400k investment still have a room to recover for renting out, anything above rm500k is not worth to invest for rent out. i think of buying 2nd unit here central since is cheap to rent out.

@Central unit

@CB
are u defensive or me.. as u say this a freedom column to say anythg i wan.. i can do my prediction as well. I m not buying the unit yet. But i cant imagine those heartless investor who always eyeing on renting out for foreigner and make others resident suffer from the security problem.

talk so much for investment……. if really know how to invest… will not invest into mainland lar…. best part of investment is at Penang island not mainland.

let me put free $$ to you pocket!! if anyone of you think to buy and invest. pls goto penang island, feira vista going to launch soon 27 or 28th this month. rm330/sqf only…
just go ahead with it (cheapest in sg ara). sure you make $$$ than anywhere else in mainland.

350k getting 1k rental consider good re-turn or good investment? at any place n any time in island you are getting min 4% of rental of your house price.

300k apartment can get 1.2k rental. and appreciation. house price increase margin is higher than mainland.

anyone not agree with me?

@house-in-mainland,

1. You have your logic there on mainland investment. Agree

2. Fiera Vista? No thank you, having such poor track record…. Any seasoned investor who have been in the market for sometime will be very wary of this NOT so Ideal developer. That’s a lousy project la…

Sure make money?? Don’t Sing Song here…

4% rental return? possible with apartment at your given range….

For above 1 million property? I am not sure that is how it work..

i’m happy that you are saying Oriental max is having a good track record(indirectly). good or bad track record by Ideal not really care, the key is all projects from them are making good $$, because bad reputation so their project is cheap so high margin.

why are you still looking investment at mainland? or this central-way?

for above 1mil still the same. just that u n me not really have linkage to that range.

CB,

i’m new to mainland. any good buy with good stay at mainland that you can recommend?

@house-in-mainland So unfortunately my current league r same wit u, 1 mil pg property is put of my reach but lucky i have this piece of central to invest for renting it out. I hv contact can rent for 15 packs of bangla stay there for 1.2k per month shd b easy. Anyone else who buy for rent out do let me know, i can be middleman to intro foreign workers to rent, commission is 0.5%

As a resident inside the taman, of course we are not hope the taman full with foreign workers which might bring security issues to others neighbour(this would my personal negative perception). But we cant control of that happen because we are not the owner of the house. Hopefully for those investor could rent their unit to more secure tenants.

@house-in-mainland,

I will not be the right person to advice you as I personally do not favor mainland investment. The appreciation is not as good as Island. But who knows what will happen after the 2nd link. There’s always potential….

As a Penangite, I see the second link is only going to benefit mainland more than Island.

Yes, for Ideal, if you are mentioning some of there near complete landed project, you can see the appreciation and potential is already there. Investing in property is a calculated risk,
for Ideal case, those who have taken the risk back then is already reaping the returns.

But having said this, I would still be very wary of this flip flop developer. Who knows they flip flop again?

@house-in-mainland,

by the way, I am not investing in Central way….

i’m asking buy and stay lar.. not invest. i got one- two in island already. is for own stay.

i don’t mind if this central-way can become a good renting house or center. then i can change mind not for own stay. i do have that thought when 1st saw the house design. 5 toilets in a house…….!!!!!

If renting I will say the potential is there, if you don’t mind the tenant messing up your house. haha

Central way location wise, it’s the least ideal ( my opinion ) of the many project in mainland.

I would have gotten one that’s nearer to Autocity maybe. forget what I said anyway, I stay in Island and will be biased in my opinion…. Good luck hunting

central unit,
why not u buy whole taman since u can easily rent out for foreigner, then it can b ur foreigner “kampung ‘
by the way , may be better u review which unit u r buying .. at least if i m buying tht taman.. i will stay away from ur unit.

Haha there are people thinking renting out 1-1.3k is good investment here, what a idiot! so good luck to those having this kind of thought. Sorry for the rude word, i cant hold myself.

ksy
fully agree with u ..some silly ppl thk invest for 3 years jst wait for rental rm1-1.2k .. and consider as a good investment .
anyhow, bye.. good luck to those hv such ” radiculous dream” ..

KSY.. u buying central-way?
if yes, then ka ki nan.

i myself have 2 houses renting out, both rental higher than installment. alamak, itu basic la! if u said u can rent out for 2k, then this property is definitely a good investment.

house-in-mainland
will decide this week, still looking for financial source, haha

On the design of the house, it is suitable for >10 ppl to stay, and Bangla or foreign workers are the targeted tenant, if we have more and more Bangla, the house won’t appreciate and you can only continue to rent to Bangla untill your house collapse, no one want to buy sub-sale in this Bangla village, eventually all are loser…..Please consider this project for own live, and let those own live buyers have an opportunity to enjoy harmony environment buy paying ~RM100 per month for G&G.

If wanna invest with ~RM1k per month rental, go for N-Park on the island, RM250k, much more better investment return, you can rent to Middle East expatriate…..

@KSY,

Interesting, and how much rental do you think is fair for central-way?

And what tool are you using to gauge the investment return on your definition of good investment?

I smell bull-shitter here. Sorry la, like what you said, sorry for the harsh words….

Since it is strata, i believe the JMC can make life difficult for the banglas for example have a touch n go entry in the guard house like Regency Heights and limit the numbers of touch n go card per house. With that the banglas will have problem coming in & eventually they will move out.

@CB

Haha, u don believe? up to u
I am jv simple investor, i dun know what special tool, i jv know my rental income at least should cover 90% of the monthly installment. anything more than that is good.

Banglas now are also very “choosy”. I wanted to rent my unit in The Brezza early this year, rental RM 3K /mth. Banglas working in the Tg Bungah area actually called me, negotiated for RM 1.5K/mth! I refused of course and very fortunately, found a very decent tenant recently. Fortunately too, the community here is cooperative. My friend wanted to rent for only RM 1.8K/mth, empty unit, even she refused to take in the Banglas.

Thus, it all depends on the community here. There are many local tenants around and to “purposely” opt for Banglas is ridiculous. I see comments like this as to have SOLE intention to stir this blog. Mind you, check the stats/frequency, this blog is already “hot” without “stir-fry” comments. @Deal

@KSY,

My respond to you is based on your remarks as you said “higher than installment”…
Now you flip flop and says 90%.

Whatever la…. talk is cheap and free

Cb
I thk u dont read ksy’statrment clearly.. dont been having knee jerk reflex..

I wonder how many of ppl herr r buyers… as for me ,i hvt decide to geta unit there. But so many ppl wan to misuse this blog… It is e hottest blog

@dg

Dear dg,

First of all, I do not understand a tiny bit of your “knee jerk” statement. Are you using an auto-translater?

Now why are you barking here as I though we are through earlier on?

Believe me I have not intention at all to stir things up on this lousy post. Have stated very clearly if you understand at all my remarks up above.

Am just participating and providing opininon for maybe some bull-shitters. I enjoy constructive argument really. But your statement everytime is full of shit. Be more contructive.

I didn’t come here to shoot down the project. My statement were never were. It’s just responding. Like I have mentioned before, I get nothing if your project fails big time. Why the hell will I want that? Are you nuts? U Must be as your statement dont make any sense if not utter rubbish!

I bet all you wanted to hear is, Oh.. it’s a beautiful project, it’s marvellous and all things nice…
By saying this, I will sound like stirring up the post here? You want to get a unit? Good for you.
I bet there’s many genuine neighbor here who’s very excited also. There’s nothing wrong with this central-way or any other project.

The problem is sour loser ppl like you.

You see, “@house-in-mainland” and myself, we don’t neccessary need to agree on our argument but we are networking more contructive than your rubbish.

U are Full of rubbish….

Dear cb,
The person who r over react is u.. Tht s why I say u hv knee jerk reflex.. Let me educate u .. This term really exit.. Only those who eat cilly feel pedas,”
2rd , u r not giving any contructive opinion at all. Seem like u dont knw mainland well, not intend to buy any project here. I dont see any point u r giving ur over attention here.
3rd .. Ur dirty word is polluted the blog. r u hving some kind of sickness or over suppress .. Will b kind to suggest u to see psychiatric dr.dont burst unnecessay here.
4th I knw pro n con of this taman. Pls read previous blog.. But no one is like u wanna cari gaduh with little tiny words
5th I m glad I hv the ability to make u act madly

Dearest dg,

That’s more like it… you sound more sober now…

You are correct, I dont invest here because it’s a lousy project….
Don’t worry too much, you still have roof over your head.
A house is more than a roof, you need to understand the potential whether for own stay or investment. It is not a marriage of convenience… This project is no more similar than just building houses… just built built built… house house house…

The land in mainland is a little fragmented. There’s no clear indication on concrete growths roadmap, the potential ahead is cloudy. one day it’s in bukit tengah, then the next new development will be 5 – 10 kilometers away.

I am of the opinion many developers is just riding the wave on this good property time… New and old developer is coming up again here and there. I am not complaining though. More choices….

I have a Malay neighbour who is showing concern to the neigbourhood. He can rent the house to students with quite a high rental but he choose not to. Instead he makes it a homestay. Actually, his business is quite well, especially during university convocation.

I definitely despise on those bad landlord and show respect on those considerate neighbour.

Wow! I think this is the hottest property blog on mainland property, break record, first time in the history. But please post constructive and usefull comment so that everyone can benefit, benefit for making decision on buy or not to buy; for me, I will wait till the show house open for viewing during Hari Raya……although RM20k rebate may have been gone! Developer said there is empty showhouse ready by Hari Raya, will show in newspaper.

Anyone hv any idea how many unit sold out ? Still compare it with bayu mutiara… Any idea abt the traffic at bukit tengah during peak hour?

In my opinion, this central way is good for own living, not good for investment because the rental income is not so promising since it is a mainland project. However, the value will definitely appreciate with time.

result as of today 5pm – 50% sold

Can still enjoy rm20k rebate ?

For my view, buikit tengah is full of foreign workers poppulation, if you really unlucky, just 5 units of the central way rent out for foreign workers will enough to turn this g&g become mini hatyai. as a onwer he/she has the right to rent whoever they wanted, commitees will have no said. you think got parliment inside g&g ? and most of the ppl surrouding there are not so educated, so you want to set something to restrict it, then they will fix something instead for you commitees. if i got extra money, i will also buy this unit for rent as the renting demand are high for the foreigners over in bukit tengah.

Yes, i agree with you. If some people intentionally buy to rent to foreign worker or bangala, at the end all will become loser. So for all investor, please be more considerate to the neighbor and others residents. But i curious to know, does the new house in front of Central Way also full with foreign worker now?

So far, just for old house which along the main road. If not make mistake it was less than 5 house. Because the factory bus can’t pick up them easy at main road and also not easy to come out.

But it is not make sense for foreigner to rent this kind of house and I don’t know how the investor can make profit . Let say, 1.5k per month . Then , return is only 5~5.3 % per annum …Need to take 20++ year to get back (This is based on cash buyer investor).
But your house will be drop after your rent out to foreigner . If I am the investor , I just buy the house and take 20K rebate. Then, sell it another 5% of normal price in one year………I think this is better than to rent out…….right?

The old semi D almost is Chinese & a few India . I do not see any foreign workers there . Foreign worker stay at which part ?

If not mistaken, the foreigner worker at double storey house which along the main road….

@THS
Dear THS, Which bukit tengah area are full with foreigner worker . I have stay kerjasama more than 10 year….I am not sure which area you are specify ?Thanks.

yy :So far, just for old house which along the main road. If not make mistake it was less than 5 house. Because the factory bus can’t pick up them easy at main road and also not easy to come out.

5% only? u must b first time buyer. you need to sell at least 30% up after the building done for the origin price to break even, considering you spend on legal fees, lock in period of the loan penalty, government property tax to who sold house less than 5 years. with that 30% it will become 450k for this kind of area do you think got water fish to buy ? if not, then only way is to rent. still rent out is the best return for this kind of project.

Haha THS,

I assume that this is cash buyer only….just have a lot of cash in bank instead of deposit in the fixed deposit lah…….38K gross profit still can cover lah…legal fee is around 10K (for cash buyer lah). …government tax is around 10% of profit lah……if you dummy not tamak , still can play around……. …

But if the investor look for rent out for foreigner is the loser…….because it will kill whole project ……..If I am investor to rent out for foreigner worker, I am look for old house instead of new house lah like flat ….because low invest low risk….But invest 330K for rent out to bangla worker…..it is not make sense at all……….I am better invest at Penang island condo lah…the price still around 330k , right ?

Anyway, I don’t believe there have investor to invest 330K at this area to rent out ..this is a joke lah……..

In conclusion , this project is not good for investment but only for own stay …..THS , right?

I hv no idea why ppl wan to buy n rent to foreigner. My opinion is if u r buying n intend to rent it out.. This is not an idea choice. Coz investment in these kind of project is not promising at all. only can consider for own stay..

@yy I confuse with how you get 38K gross profit of 5% out from 350k. your math is too deep already, anyway it wont work out for 5% even with cash buy.

@Jassy
I term this project as good for renting is because of that area full of foreigners workers, if not for them, then you expect who else will rent ? ang moh or middle east ppl issit ?

@CB

u shouldn’t talk like tis, it only shows how shallow u r.
pls talk like a man. sad to see tis.

@dg

Would like to clarify the CB above is not me… okay… the words is too heavy for me to use.
You can clarify with the owner of this block please…. it’s too extreme

Please clarify with the owner of this blog…. I am off this blog for good… It’s out of control

the developer seems to be too money wise, the design is similar with others of its project. Maybe bcoz the design is so appealing that people will still buy it.

with value of about 350k, i find it quite attractive. if the house is 2′ wider, or 2′ longer, i will buy it.

That sick fella really obsess with banglas, i guess he is also behind all the banglas stiring here

BM Utama 3rd phase, 2 & 1/2 storey, size 22×60 sells for 467K, by comparisson this project looks cheap

I am considering to have one for own stay. But i am not familiar with that area. Anybody can tell me if the location is convenience for market & school.

NH :
I am considering to have one for own stay. But i am not familiar with that area. Anybody can tell me if the location is convenience for market & school.

There is no market & school nearby. Even the nearest food u can have is at lok yuan restourant only. There is no market inside and the nearest would be sri rambai. for primary school i think would be peng bin.

Yes, compare to BM Utama, this project price is considering reasonable, with gated and guarded, the appreciation is looking good (provided not turn up to be bangala village eventually); in general, G&G landed house will appreciate ~10% more than conventional landed house.

Btw, Oriental Max can be considered one of the reputable and key player of mainland housing developer, the track record is quite good. However, the quality of houses are moderate, finishing not so good, crack here and crack there, material used (including painting, staircase handrail) not so nice, recycle design/drawing, that’s why the price is reasonable (not to say cheap). Anyway, they provide 24 month “warranty” so that you can test out the toilet water leakage, any cracks, damage, etc. once get the key. So, this developer is building ‘cheap and big piece’ houses, so don’t expect too high in the quality, spend some $$ to do renovation later.

I visited De-Link, the garden is very so so only, hope the developer can have more landscape and gardening on it’s G&G project. You guys can go and look at De-Link, and look at De-Link2 which is under construction now, you may feel a bit dissapointed…..but De-Link2 looks better, see how the final garden landscape will look like. De-Link is located at the Taman Segar, Bagan Lallang.

@Hernan Yeoh
I am not worry about banglas, as i said earlier, the JMB can’t control the invasion of the banglas but can make life very difficult for them to move out, provided of course the community have a strong leader & backing from the residences.
Unless the pro bangla investors gets more than 50% of the units then there will be another story.
Bottom line is gated strata is not meant for banglas, the JMB can always move the goalpost in order to life difficult for them.

agree with you De link quality is not really good, but for 303K in Raja Uda, that’s good buy

@Hernan Yeoh
De Link 2 also develop by Oriental Max? What kind of house? How much it selling?

I had gone to show house, the workmanship is really so so. Who buy the house better knock the wall here and there before u move in, see got empty or not inside.

After few days never visit here now the project from pariah become bangla villages. As i said this cheap projects will attract nonsense low class ppl to buy n i think bangla got better class than thouse buyers u know y? because bangla also afford to stay g&g area hahahaha

@KSY
U mean central way or De-Link ?

Yes, De-Link 2 is also develop by Oriental Max, this design is copy right to Oriental Max. So, you can see De-Link 2 as a show unit for Central Way too…..The selling price was RM303k for intermediate back in Feb’2010. Now De-Link (already completed) is selling at RM420k for corner unit. @JC

How much it was selling for completed intermediate unit? The corner unit for central way also almost selling at RM400k++

@Jess I visited De-Link and the quality is very so so, a lot of crack, especially the kictchen area, need to spend a lot money to renovate before move in. Need to take extra caution on the water leakage from toilet, test out 4 toilets at the upstairs, but i really wondering those defects can be fix for long term, defect is defect, when you fix it, it will just cure temporarily……Good Luck for all Oriental Max buyers, I will go take a look on Central Way show house before making any decision on buying, although the RM20k rebate may be gone.

Hi I m worry to buy intermediate unit there. Can someone advise me. I saw previous post tht most ppl wan to extend their backyard. If the corner unit extend their backyard ,those intermediate unit willl hv hard time to run away when hv fire. If I chose those near the gate. I scared ppl will jst climb over the gate. So left only garden view to chose.will commitee hv right tk set certain rule for those who want to extend bavkyard

@Jassy
There is still a small road behind the backyard even though own empty backyard is use for extension. What is ur concern about own backyard extension?

Thanks jc. I didnt knw there is small road behind it. I visited dlink. N scared to c them extend till bck to bck. If confirm with developer,then I can get a unit there.

?

@Jassy
Hi Jassy,
I confirmed with developer this morning, still got 5′ or 7′ small road behind the backyard.
You can confirm with developer again before you get a unit
Plan to get garden view or standard view ?

@Jess

Central way. What i observe is before they do plastering on wall. Not sure if their plaster can cover the hole coz i saw they used too little mortar to stack the brick.

Buyer can highlight this issue if they think it is not properly done.

@KSY
Thanks for your advice & updates .

@JC
Thanks for the info..

@NH
So do u plan to book one?

I plan to book one, but still can’t make a decision >_<, after pay booking fee RM10k, if later don't want, only can get back RM8k….

For the house like this in island or kl, u may have to triple the price. I really find the price attractive. Even with the property market slump, it wont affect much the property here, island property sure kena more teruk.

There is nothing to be ashamed of to pick a three storey with a 350K price tag versus one with a 1 million price tag. Buying a house is really a personal choice. It’s just that we are spoilt for choices nowadays, which is a very good thing.

The problem with human is, there’s always a tendency to compare, this is coupled with the ears for only good feedback. Anything that’s said not in favor of their dream home will provoke a “kiasu” retaliation. This sum up a lot of the mentality of the neighborhood.
This blog is a good example of good and bad, coupled with some who like to hijact ID.
For kick I guess….. Cheers

the show house complete already?

p :
the show house complete already?

I think should be nearly complete already because they will official launch at this month end of Raya. U may visit the site at weekend and i think should be 80~90% in shape.

show houses are never the same as the finished products delivered……..

Hi today go to site. The colour is yellow. Reconfirm with developer . The colour is yellow n not grey.. Can we do somethg to request developer to paint it as the same phamplet.. Tht yellow is too terrible..

@Gcsla

Yes, the buyers should voice out this. The phamplet is misleading.

@Gcsla
Oh no .. tomorrow I want go to view a show unit n will do to developer there to voice out .

I jst afraid if we voice out individually, they may not entertain us. Today when I ask why different.. They jst answer me tht wht u see is the correct colour.. Sampai nak cekik them.. But wht we can do.. The yellow is terrible than merbau indah. I can accept merbau indah but not this colour

i want grey color too….. what should we do now ??

can wr go there n attack developer together….. sound silly but dont knw wht else can b done too

Gcsla ,
What we can do now ? Complaint ?

Jess,
No idea.. :-$

Gcsla :Jess,No idea.. :-$

pity, u pay peanut, u get monkey. don ever expect the developer will entertain you.

Gcsla ,
Did you take photo ?

@Gcsla
Ya,last week i went to visit i also saw it is not grey colour. Can we request to change as phamplet?

hi all Central Way buyers,
I just called to developer to check on color concern. The staff ask us to make a complaint by faxing them : 04-3565859, and this will bring to their boss attention.

I will do it… Hope all of u also can feedback together… It should be can work…..

@Joey
Hi Joey ,
When u gonna to fax ?

Who is the person told u to make a complaint by fax ? Mr. Ang ?

Hi, joey
I will support the idea of writing formal letter to complaint. Wht r the detail thing tht I shld highlight in the letter tq.. At least we do somethg than nothg

@Joey
What kind of letter we should write?

The staff is ms Leong. She suggest us to write in . I believe this can be work if majority of buyers voice out together..

I will ask my hubby to write a simple letter and will fax it this Monday .

Other way is, cu guy can call up developer to show our disqualify on the exterior colour painting as it’s not same like in brochure .

hi all,
i hv forward a picture tht i took yesterday into ur email acc.. if anyone hv a sample of letter , pls forward to me . i wil support to lodge an official complaint letter. TQ

Sure will support and write the letter, pending for the template from Joey.

Just confirmed with developer our paint color is grey .
www.nipponpaint.com.my/html/exterior_walls_and_roof.html
This is the link to the nippon paint codes. Our paint code for exterior are Sunblest White 701 (used mostly at back), Gunsmoke Grey 307, Sandstorm 134. You can find those colours in this link.

Glad BM still have cheaper project by just RM330k(after 20k discount from developer Oriental) to have 3-Storey terrace house. Basically, want to share some opinions here based on my 8years personal’s eperience for housing analysis access in Bkt Mertajam.

Pros:
– “mild” strategy location
– affortable price for landed house

Conds:
– Dirty environment due to location is built just besides cements factory
– Near to railway road just besides the built location(which double line railway is contructing there)
– Low profile area which “takungan dam” will be built in that area to prevent flood
– Need to drive a long way to U-turn back if you back from Penang
– Nearby small factories
– 2 mosques just within 500m.

Anyway, whether the price will rise or not is depending on those Millionaires to promote this project in a short period of time.

Hi Mei Mei,
You are welcome. I just make some sharings at here. Hope there would not be any hard feeling for those buyer of this project. Because, personal advice is, buying a house is not like ordering a chicken rice which is so simple. We must able to look into many factors before going for our own dream house. Go and observe the surrounding area, location, environment, community(what is the majority races) before we consider to buy a property. How about take a consideration at Alma area if you want to find a dream house in Bkt Mertajam. Thank you.@Mei mei

Hi jess,tq for ur update. Hw abt the yellow colour? Is it a background paint or sandstorm colour ? Tq

Alma is not a strategic area. It is far and traffic jam going to 1st or 2nd penang bridge.

@KK.Wong
Thanks KK.Wong for the comments. Super agree beside look at the house design, color, etc., the surrounding area is very important, I like Taman Bagan and Raja Uda area although they’re quite congested, the community there are mostly chinese, very convenient for food, shops, etc. But unfortunately, no good landed project over there, mostly new projects are condominium, or landed house with expensive price. I will re-consider all over again while pay a visit to their show house during Hari Raya before make up my mind.

For those with budget up to RM450k (the corner units for this CW is ~RM400k already), can consider Desa Titi Panjang, Bukit Tengah too. (between Dell and Krico Supermarket), 2 Storey Semi-D (35×80) with price ~RM450k. The second one is Permatang Sanctuary, 2 Storey Semi-D (30×80) with price ~RM450k, by IJM. These two are my alternative options at that area, pay extra RM120k to upgrade to Semi-D, with bigger total built-up, no need to climb 3 storey.

@plus-9

i will call to developer to re-confirm on color painting (b4 fax in) since

Jess feedback the color is grey.

Developer will email me the sample of the house color . Will attach the picture to u guys tomorrow .

@pggirl HI pggirl,
Thank you your kind of comment. Kindly understand what is meaning of “strategic” location in views of property investment factor. Traffic jam is not correlated to strategic meaning but somehow if far or close to both penang bridge, I would mildly agree on your comment. If penang bridge access is considered as your top priority of factor, then CW should be the ok to invest. But, it is wisely to look into many factors before we rendered our money into a property no matter you want to invest or buy for ownself staying. Hope to share with us about your more inputs or experience which we never been familiarity before.

Hi kk wong
personally I dont thk alma is good location for living or invest as well. There so many housing erea,2 rdhand value is not there. In future ,the developet will try to built more house tgt is more suit to the modern living demand. If u compare new project n old project in alma, ppl wont chose old project .so the reality show old project hv no value. The house tht I bought in 2008may jst hv 10k increment. Ppl not buying it although is near to wonderful supermarket. another thing is u hv to pass through railway.i hate the jam when the train come. Flood is another problem. If bm utama, then everyday hv to caught jam at bukit minyak. For those who r working at spu n spt or pg is very inconvenience. Tht.s why I wan to move out from alma

I knw every project hv pro n cons .. The project cannot tailored to meet everybody “s need. As for ur takungan dam.. I will b please if u can kindly explain wht is tht. I m interested to knw. I cant deny right nw every developer is trying to built the expensive house.. Th ry earn profit by raising the house price, as long as consumer chasing after it. A tesco at alma is their selling point..if u r like me,hving house there n hard to sale it out ,then u will knw the real truth. Everyday take 1 hr to reach home is not a kidding thing

@Jassy
Hi Jassy,
Thank you for your feedback here. Appreciate your kind of comment on my post. Again, traffic jam should not be avoided for a hot spot. Try to think about Penang region, traffic congestion happen everywhere especially after works. If you want to avoid traffic jam, then maybe you should not pick Penang as a hot spot place as your working place,whereby Ipoh maybe suitable for your living as proposal to you. Crowded, happening, and jam is normal for an area in development and groom. That’s why you see Penang growth and developed quite fast due to bombardment of economy. Takungan dam is built for serving flood prevention purpose. Water at there has no way out and that’s why the area need Takungan dam. For example, you may find it at Taman Sri Sejahtera. Hope my comment wont interupt your feeling. Thank you.

Hi thks for ur info. Nw I understand ur takungan dam.. It is called as detention pond. For every project therr will b detention pond to avoid flood. Either is individual or sharing purpose. I suppose u hvt go to site seeing. There alrdy a detention pond near the old semi d there. But bcoz it is g &g project, therefore by right hv own detention pond. Fyi do u ever see a condo hv their detention pond ? It is common. In thos project ,i thk it sjld b near children playground. Therefore shld avoid garden view. I jst predict the location.

Hi all,,
I hv visit n ask ppl around it. garden view almost sapu by ppl. I dont knw why ppl chose tht. The only adv may jst ventilation. Otherwise ,cons more than pro. Tht my opinion ,hope not hurt anybody feeling.
1. No privacy ,everyday ppl can walk at ur backyarfd. 2rd, tnb n rubbish collection will b there as strata title not allow mpsp to come each house to collect sampah. 3rd detention pond mostly like there coz this is the only open space( jassy) do mention it and I do hv same feeling. 4th u cant prohibited ppl play tai chi early morning. 5th wht if ur window spoilt by the footballer?6th if ppl not take care tht area well or not pay maintenance ,tht area will b mosquitoes bred region. I jst plan for the worst case

No need to worry about the garden turn out to be bad, if you make a choice for G&G, the only thing to hope is a beautiful garden, good community, good neighbourhood awareness….As I know from friend in De-Link, they have started to build and have a good community there and even can organize for community event, their garden is also improving from time to time….

Hi hernan ,
I hv visited de link last sat. Sad to see their garden look so sandy. little bit grass here n there. One thg i may like to ask .. if gardwn is to be community event place, do they allowppl to carry out “ceremony for the death such as a place to place coffin”? if in a apatment ,somse will.specific certain area as place for tht ceremony.. Anyone can enlighted hw situation in g&g area? For my opinion ,only those 2 row can buy which is 20 ~50. Othets standad unit is not good. Garden view hehe gd luck to those who bought it

Good point dg, where to pay condolence in G&G is a question mark, live in landed house still don’t have a place for this is a sad thing. (I think only most of apartments and very few medium to high end condo allocate a space for death condolence, most of condo in Penang don’t have place and all do it at funeral parlour; this is true as the management want to minimize the noise…etc. e.g, will you see people doing ceremony in Gurney Park Condo or Silverthorn Condo??) So in conclusion, live in this G&G or in Condo need to go funeral parlour…new trend

Btw, De-Link ppl can invite all neighbour for makan-makan, pray Datuk Kong (they won some lottery, no joke), very “Ong”. Yes, after completion, the developer didn’t do a good job on garden, sad thing, but now compare to previous, it did improve. So, just wish the developer improve also on their subsequent G&G project.

If i am corner owner ,i want the ground floor room to shift another side.Can u change for me .The room is too smaller than the central house ground floor room.

@joey
Joey, Gcsla
I hav forward the sample of the house color to your guys email.

@corner owner
you bought a corner unit or intermediate ?

corner unit

@Jess

@corner owner
I also bought corner unit ? standard view ?

yes

@Jess

@corner owner
I plan to shift the room & toilet to behind.
But I need to extend the backyard only got extra space to shift.
Which plot you bought ?

If you have money to extend here and shift there, and somemore buy corner unit, no need to buy this low standard yet cheap g&g, go for more expensive one like the residence by airmas at bagan lallang, or palm villa, got swimming pool, club house and better garden landscape, good design you no need modify here and there, the color also very class, the people live there will also class, no bengala, no nepal. Now a day renovation not cheap, knock here and knock there cost you couple hundred thousand d, think about it.

hi all
i m very disappointed with the colour.. thking of not buying it if i cant repaint it ..

Buy a property that u afford. U can go for high class properties provided u hv enuf money. Central way is definitely not a high class property, but is is not low class either. It is worth buying as the price is cheaper than many other properties near buy with the same concept. Somemore the location is good, at least for me coz near working place. Highway, jusco, autocity, BM, penang bridge all are vr close. This area has no traffic jam. I dun like to waste my time in traffic jam. So i hv bought it, Garden view. Why garden view? extra parking space, nice view at the back, extra balcony at the back, only 20k extra, worth la. Bad point is the retention pond is nearer and hope the garden is well maintained.

@gcsla
Plan to cancel booking ?

@KSY
Do you have any comment on the color ?
Like ?

Personally i still can accept the color, but it is better if it is as broshure color coz grey color will look more elegance. I think we can suggest to developer to change only the Sandstorm(134) to Lakestone(726) or Field Stone(729) while maintaining Gunsmoke grey(307) and Sunblest White(701). From the site, the light yellow i think it is not Sunblest White(701), dont know there is mistake there or not.

Give up because of the color? I think still can consider la, after 5 years or more, i think can put on new paint, if management or JMB can do well in finance, there is a hope to re-paint all units after some time like condo/appartment. The developer really not considerate, already so many people complained about the color, even on De-Link and De-Link2, they still insist want to paint the ugly yellow and the reddish brown on De-Link2 and now on CW pula. I made a call and talk to developer on the color, they said the designer like this color, pengsan, very disappointed.

@JC
JC
Did you go to the site there to view the show unit ?

CW & Merbau Indah , i prefer Merbau indah color.
CW color too plain already , disappointed

hi hernan yeoh
ya .. shld tell them to ask the designer to buy the house lo.. since they like it so much .. hahaha

hi jess
i will prefer merbau indah colour as well .. not like this .. coz i really saw a low cost apartment painted like tht

i wonder whether they buy those paint tht is left over so much .. cheap kut .. otherwise where got designer so lau yeh … wonder where they graduate from .. no taste at all :$

@gcsla
Ya ya ya .
If can ask the developer just paint gunsmoke grey n white will do , how come want add on sandstorm . Haizzzz ~~~ really can’t understand what the designer thinking , 1 word ” weird” .

Can some1 provide the developer# again? Thks.

gcsla :hi jessi will prefer merbau indah colour as well .. not like this .. coz i really saw a low cost apartment painted like tht

you pay low cost price, then you got low cost house. nothing wrong with it. want to live luxury, then go and figure out how to earn more, why crying foul here for the low cost color when you deserved it. it shows the pariah mentality

Ya, the designer very lau beh, just use different color will make the house more elegant and modern.

I would say the developer use the color the designer like, that’s it, nothing to do with the cost or low cost. The color use on house decoration is very important, go attend the basic sharing or talk by Eric Leong, may be the designer never attend home deco class kut….

For those still saying this is low cost house, go live in heavan now, there have everything you want!

@Jess
Yes, i did visit the site. I think the problem is Sandstorm match with Gunsmoke grey make it look weird. So i think replace Sandstorm with another grey color would be look fine.

Hernan Yeoh :
For those still saying this is low cost house, go live in heavan now, there have everything you want!

Why mind to care about those non contribute and nonsense comment, we buy such kind is none of their business but he still like to barking here. Eventhough he is very rich, but such kind of ppl is rubbish to the society.
