@ayam Great to hear that… Tower A or B?? 2cp or 1Cp??

@Ular

If you are seriously thinking of walking into E&O office, you better prepare yourself mentally, otherwise you’d end up making mistakes you’d regret later. Their pricing structure is very tricky, many buyers fell into their trap of buying units costing RM800++psf in the end.

Has anyone noticed that the ceiling height of the car park park levels currently in construction seems to be quite low?

E&O is a very clever and sharp developer. Every single inch of space has been used in the favour of E&O, much to the detriment of all Tamarind purchasers, including low ceiling heights on all the units.

@filterfren
There are standards to follow even when it comes to car parks. We visited the show room and we are happy with the unit. If there is anything you should know, E&O is all about quality and majority of their own staffs bought into this project. I own a unit at Quayside and I am comfortable with the car park ceiling height. I don’t believe you spend most of your time in the car park when you are back at your condo right.

Btw, city of dreams 2 will be 1000 units as well. Perhaps you should wait for that project. As for us we are sticking with E&O because we know their quality and they have already proven it with the houses and quayside.

@Kim

E&O staff bought into this project? No wonder lah, they have been working so hard, weekend and after 6pm also still working in this blog!!

Penang people feels we Singaporeans very easy water fish is it? I doubt so when your MYR is always dropping. Just to put the record straight I intend to sell my Andaman which I bought 3 years back because I don’t have much hope with the soft market and even more depressed with the currency loss. Just want to bring my money back to Singapore.

@Singapore2

Not that easy to sell Andaman as thought.

Any Tower A returning their unit? How much is the penalty?

@ Tower A
Do you know you have to pay an additional 10% of the selling price? I’m sure there may be some owners who may want to let go their cheap Tower A units.

@Tower A

What seems to be the issue here?

I am buying at around $800+psf and I feel it’s expensive now. OHM is selling much cheaper for a bigger unit and it serves my family better. We don’t mind driving slightly to get to amenities since its only a 5-10 minutes drive from Mount Erskine to most places anyway. Anyone wants to take over my high floor unit? We perhaps can work out something. Leave your email here if you want. Thank q.

I head OHM lower floor units are Low Cost housing. SO the low cost housing people are staying in the same complex? i wont like that though… Anyway, the tamarind is alright. me a few of my colleagues bought tower B lower floor units at 690k++ during the first day they open tower B. we couldn’t get tower B so we decided to act fast when tower B open.

i think the market is willing buy willing sell market. If people ever chose to buy a 800k or 900k units, nothing is wrong as long as they are happy. no need to be so mean.. the agents there are quite helpful when i bought. i introduced my boss to buy and he and his family bought several units there too. they are seasoned investor i don’t think they will be wrong.

So what’s the big deal?

@Steady

Your boss is seasoned investor? Seasoned investor won’t wait until you introduce him to buy tower B already lah! E&O staff really working very hard huh!! Company giving good incentive for you guys is it? Like what they offered to agents to sell those unsold units at Andaman?? ..;)

This Tsunami thing outdated already lah! Can say something more convincing or not?

Dear all, The Tamarind Block B is currently open for registration !

For further information and promotion packages, please register your contact watsapp to jhnleets97@gmail.com

*Act fast before its fully sold out*
Thank You & Have A Nice Day.

@TowerA
As fa as I know E&O doesn’t allow unit transfers. Besides, location wise it is already not the same. In the future OHM project will appreciate lesser as compared to TAmarind. I heard OHM Skyridge is actually 1250sft because the other 200sft are common area planter box changed to aka balcony. The quality of both developers are totally the opposite. Anyway, at the end of the day it’s about your budget. Just buy whatever you are can afford.

@Steady

Agreed. It is rather than keep highlighting the bad part of Tamarind, why not just look into the good part.
This is free market.
Don’t you think the developer is stupid and do not know they market position?
When they launching their products, they are strong recognize the targeted market & prospect .
Comes to the end, purchaser has their own choice.

@Go4mainland
It will strike at any time but to ensure of safety it’s not wise but silly to discard this phenomenon.

@Bigcannon
Yes bro, i’m Penangite and our company is based in Johor. Don’t have to be so mean.. just want to share some buying experience here.

@Player

Playing up the same thing which many have already explained…

2005 this piece of land didn’t even exist yet.

E&O has already reclaimed the land 5 meters above sea level. If there is a Tsunami guess it has to be above 5 meters to affect STP and if it is really above 5 meters do you think whole of Penang and Malaysia wont be affected?

It’s sad to see that nowadays there are so many unethical comments online with bad intentions.

To those who really interested to buy property, my advise is to go to the actual house to study/go to developer office to get official details. Then go around the community to catch a feel of how convenient/comfortable it is to stay there. Nothing is perfect in this world. cheaper projects like Tamarind which is almost half the price of Andaman we cannot expect everything to be perfect. if you like the location and satisfied with the characteristic of the project, then just buy. Do your own judgement. Nobody comment here will be responsible for your own decision.

So disgusted by the agents attacking each other on the forums rather than giving sincere and helpful advises. I wonder how could these agents be so free to attack other projects.. don’t they have customers to attend?

@Michael Jackson
Ask if it’s 1,104 units and route of Tsunami ? The comment here is the truth.
By the way, your name is very misleading.

*Block B is currently open for booking!!!*

For “early bird” rebate package, please directly email to five7pp@gmail.com

*Grab the good units before too late, NOW or NEVER!*

Every downfall is another opportunity to get back up and fight

still with ‘early bird’ rebate package and open for booking? very weird!
many ppl oledi bought or grab the unit at block B le.

hi all,

How does the 5 pct rebate work?

Its currently open for registration before official launching !

@Player
I’m looking for a project near tanjung tokong. In your opinion, which project should i buy?

Heard official launch for Tamarind is on this coming Saturday 5th December.Very excited.Excellent and well established developer with prime location,what would you consider further.Looking at their pricing,its quite reasonable though I won’t deny a bit on high density side but acceptable to me.Nowadays you don’t see newly completed condos fully occupied even after several years as I believed some buy and keep in original condition and sell after few years to make profit.Its much better to have assets in hand than keep all moneys in bank,interest not attractive,currency not stable at present unpredictable difficult times.Just my 2 cents.

@M
Yes, blind leading the blind.

Gotten a unit here. overall this is a good location. Density is on higher side but it’s fine and manageable. Tsunami area? if the tsunami can hit my floor then i’m sure whole tg tokong, or even whole Penang will disappear already. Not a problem at all. Buy if you can afford.

Can i know if seaview unit still available?

Think you should stop all your nonsense if you got nothing good to say and get your history right…Aren’t you tired of repeating the same statement over and over again…Get a life…

Tsunami happened on boxing day in 2004 and Seri Tanjung Pinang was reclaimed after that in 2005…

How I know because I live in Tanjung Tokong since I was young.

Was Gurney Drive, Tanjung Bungah, Batu Feringghi, Balik Pulau, Teluk Kumbar or Bayan Lepas hit by Tsunami in 2004? Everyone knows the whole island was affected. Thailand, Myanmar, India, Sri Langka, Bangladesh and so many other countries were affected too.

From the way that you mention, might as well say dont stay in Penang and move up to Mount Kinabalu to avoid Tsunami but then again there’s earth quake which you cannot avoid too…

Haters will always be haters, losers will always be losers…

Probably still very few left but price on higher side.Can always call them and this Saturday is their official launch.I understand there are some programs for guests and visitors.Happy hunting.

@Random

Hahaha… well said, Random.
Tell Player and Michael Jackson to go live on a mountain!!

See, didn’t I tell you to stop this outdated tsunami thing? Now got suan for nothing, loosing all your credibility.

Take up for Tower B still very slow. E&O is spending big on advertising.

@filterfren
Michael Jackson lives on the Moon. He did moonwalk. LOL.

@Classic
E&O is making advertisements because they will have official launch this Saturday. It’s normal to advertise for launching. Better to view the project before launching so will be less people and more choice.

Silly to discuss this phenomenon?

Live on reclaimation land – Tsunami
Live in condo/apt – Earthquake
Live in Bungalow/landed, without proper piling n also can collapse – earthquake.

So, which one do you suggest to buy?

@Go4mainland

Do not buy at this location.

@Go4mainland
I guess we should buy on another planet… safer.

You can see how people reacts as to this Tsunami area. If you use your ” right” brain then there is no need to live in another planet !!!!!

I agree with @Go4mainland.. invest in mainland better..

Every project has pros and cons. if you want to buy then you will have to do the assessment based on what you need and want. if you dont want to buy, you can always find excuses. Tsunami is an old topic already. People already talk about tsunami since Terrace house. Those mentally blocked by tsunami will never been able to make money out of STP. I missed several rounds. i’m glad that i no longer listen to those naysayer this round.

@TT

@Go4mainland
Dont buy mainland. Mainland is a plateau. When south pole melt, Mainland will sink together with Penang Island. Conclusion: buy Mount Kinabalu.

What you call Tsunami hit area an old topic but how would you
assure it won’t happen again ? We are talking about “location” and nothing about every project has pros and cons.

Yes agree with you. So never ever touch a tsunami area like STP. Should consider skyridge by OHM. No Tsunami. No need to worry Buy E&O STP = waiting to be flooded by Tsunami. Buy skyridge = watching STP sink.

Haha Skyridge agents here. Anyways will update you guys on the sales tomorrow. Tamarind having events at their sales gallery.

I expect a big crowd.Already heard from friends going tomorrow during launching and not to missed this great opportunity to own property there.Fantastic location with a premier developer.

Don’t but the location.

Buy skyridge

My relative just came back from the “Old Gold Hill” are very interested in Tamarind Block B
project & ask me to bring them over to SQCC this Saturday soft launching.
From their speaking seems to purchase 10 or 8 units.
To them dollars to them is Sub Sub the Water.

@USA Kazan

Why 10 or 8 units only ? Total are 1,104 units. What a big cannon bombarding here. If sub sub the water then buy the
whole block. So that he can go submerge together when the Tsunami hit Tanjung Sri Pinang
this time around.

lol ur relative speak only but wont buy, my uncle plan to buy whole block by cash, for him GDP is like makan kacang nia.

I can see competitor agents are getting panic and pointing big big cannon keep bombarding here. if you have something good to offer just get more sales than Tamarind. No point being envious and cursing here. what a bunch of losers.

@lol
yours is too much la. cannon too big liao. Tamarind already more than 50% sold since last week, how to buy whole block?

Say whatever you like to say here you haters. People who bought is going to make money and you keep talking bad about this project here will not help. People who visited the sales gallery know exactly what they bought and if you are wise then stop hating and get one unit here. Then only think how to sell your own stagnant project. At least you will still earn money despite no sales no commission from your own project.. Cheers.

@Go4mainlan

Please ignore Player, dont argue with him…… the more you argue with him, the more he keeps opening his mouth and making useless same old story comments repeatedly. Please ignore him completely. Thank you.

@Go4mainland

Tsunami outdated ? Brain problem.

This project is one of the best new project in Tanjong Tokong Strait quay. No doubt to say that. Walking distance to tesco. Near by international school.Peaceful environment & quality class area. Definitely worth to this price…Price in between RM600k to RM750 is truely reasonable.

Update guys! Just came back from their sales gallery. Tower B more than 65% sold. Tower A 95%. Impressive sales figures.

They sold more than 750 units already….which developer can actually sell so many units at such a short duration. Impressive indeed.

@Kim

Short duration? Block A started selling almost 1 year ago. Block B started late mid Sep, and out of the 65% sold in Block B, about 60% of that with S&P not signed yet, pending loan approval. Not to say the sales is lousy, but can hardly qualify as impressive.

I just came back from the gallery. About 50% sold only lar. Majority is the cheapest units. Anyway for those getting with some west facing, my opinion is don’t even if slightly cheaper because just imagine how hot your unit will be. The sun comes to your living room or 2 bedrooms so you got to close your sliding door and windows. At the back ie your main entrance most likely you will not open. Then left only a very small window at the kitchen you can open. Even if you open your kitchen door, there will be no wind because there is only small airwell. There won’t be any through wind because you got the other unit opposite you. Think twice before getting these type of units.

Kim :
They sold more than 750 units already….which developer can actually sell so many units at such a short duration. Impressive indeed.

Not sold out ? Don’t try to mislead.

If I am not wrong they started selling it back in February. So it has only been 10 months. Why is it impressive, tower A they didn’t do a lot of marketing and it is 95% sold within a few months. Tower B has more than 60% units sold but some are still pending loan approval of course. Which developer can boast such interest and take up rate. E&O sales is easily the best performing in terms of revenue for this year. I believe under such economic times, it is very impressive to still generate so much interest and turnover. Like you said it is 1,104 units and to be able to sell 700 over units is just remarkable if you were to compare with other developers.

It is indeed impressive because there are so many other developers that can’t really sell their projects now. You should have seen the crowd today, there were so many people placing their deposits. I am sure after this weekend their sales for tower B can easily hit 70%. Tower A 95% and tower B 70%. February launched 95% of tower A sold and tower B launched in August 70% soon as of this weekend. Impressive, very impressive.

hi everyone, can someone tell me where exactly is the location? I am from kangar, and thinking of buying an apartment around this area. but there are so many constructions going on in the area, exactly where is the location? i saw one signboard the the name Tamarind, but next to it is low cost flats??

If my relative is so rich to buy the whole block.

@USA Kawan

That’s was why I said big cannon bombarding here. Such person will not live
here if he is that rich waiting for Tsunami to strike !!!!!!!

Two of my friends bought cheaper units at Block A. One at 675K and the other at 680k and they are extremely happy with their purchase. The one and only main reason they are very happy about is the LOCATION of Tamarind. On top of that, you get the freebies worth about 45K in lawyer fees and semi-furnishing. No need to spend a single sen on both bathrooms as well. So, overall, all cheaper units between the range of 650k to 690k, facing Jazz, really got a very good deal, I would say. Congratulations!

All I can say is that Location, Brand, Quality, Price and Package made this project a success in Penang. Being the top rated development since beginning of this year until today proves that this project is the best choice for purchasers may it be for own stay or investment.

I have seen some developers in Penang who are having difficulty selling their projects even after launching their development for more than a year.

Example project like Mont Residence which was launched beginning of this year and they still have around 40% units to be sold. City of Dreams sold about 50%-60% of their units up to date and they started selling 2 years ago.

However, The Tamarind Tower A has an 95% take up rate in 2 days and Tower B with just a week of advertisement has sold up to 65%. I am sure the balance units will be taken up by this week.

Many do not know that unit 1, 3,5,7 will have sea view on higher floors because it is looking towards Tanjung Bungah.

@Cardevet\ct

I actually considered unit-3 between 10-20 floors, the price is about RM780k after discount, works out to be about RM760psf. But finally I decided not to take it up because :-
(1) it is partly facing low cost flat
(2) It is facing north west, will be very hot almost 6 months in a year.
(3) I don’t quite like the layout, with very small windows.
(4) The density is quite high, considering the price
(5) I am worried about the noise from the new highway between tamarind and E&O landed homes. Although unit-3 block B is not directly facing the highway, but echo could be very bad.

But of course most of all, the final deciding factor was that I found a better option.

I was there yesterday and the response from the crowd was awesome. There were so many people there. From the charts almost all the units facing the government reserve land is almost taken up. I believe because it is cheaper and it fits the budget. Tower A is 95% sold and Tower B looks like 60-70% sold. Majority of the leftover units for tower B are facing the water park.

If I am Tower A buyer, 60% take up for Tower B with no price difference really show sign of market weakness for Tamarind.

Market weak or not more than 60% sold within short period of time is quite awesome. If market really soft then can sell 60% in such a short time means the project really good!

Overwhelming response at the launching despite uncertain times due to economy slow down and market sentiments.Only those strong and well established developer will survived during this difficult situation,that’s why this project is selling so well.

@Cardevect
Location : Tsunami area, Reclaimed area, Termite area.

I-Santorini @ MYR 529 psf (top of the range with best view/seaview units) is a better investment.

@Player
It doesnt matter, at the end of the day, many people are buying into it.

@tulip
The thing about Santorini is that it is a leasehold and it is bundled together with the affordable housing units plus it is by IDEAL. We all know Ideal’s reputation, it is very bad. Just look at mansion One…..

@U no player

Have you bought one ? No. It does matter because it’s Tsunami and
reclamation area.

@Player
Tsunami or land reclamation, people are still buying, so at the end of the day, bad publicity is still publicity. I buy or didn’t buy doesn’t matter also. The sales are 95% for tower A and tower B 65%…

Tamarind is still best among the peers, that’s why I choose to ignore the naysayer like Player and bought the unit.

@U no player

You did not buy because is not worth to buy in Tsunami area.

Sam, I’m not surprised.I expect Tamarind to be sold out soon.To me,I ask myself 3 questions before committing to purchase a new condo. 1.Our budget 2.Location 3.Who is the developer.If can fulfill this three items,then just go ahead.You can’t go wrong but of course not forgetting the price.

I like the fact it is walking distance to tesco, vantage, fettes park, precinct 10 and straits quay. Very convenient for my family and I.

Both my friends just cant wait for Tamarind’s OC – they are too excited! LOL!

@filterfren

Only “2” waiting for The Margarine ?

@filterfren

Both your friends are first home buyers? If they are experienced buyers, then shouldn’t be too excited. I just hope this Tamarind doesn’t not turn out to be like Quayside, lots of my friends from outstation actually have mistaken it for low cost flats (from the outside). Anyway, had dinner with friends from KL at Straits Quay last weekend, and they noticed that out of one whole block of Andaman condo, only 1 unit had the lights on. How come ah?

I have few investment properties at Setia Pearl Island and finally i bought another two units in Tamarind Tower B, felt the price is too cheap at this location and it definitely will go higher after few years later, i am very happy and excited that i have a chance to invest on this project, Thanks God!
i just want to say that Tamarind is so worth to buy especially RM is depreciated so much now, i am earning USD at oversea so it is good timing to invest in Penang again. Penang is still the best place to stay on this planet! i like it very much and definitely i will back for permanent one day!

@Kenn
Congratulations on booking 2 units at the right place of choice in evergreen Penang island, one of the preferred places to stay in and retire. Penang is chosen as the 2nd best place globally for retirement. It has all its charms, for sure.

On the other hand, I wonder if you are really able to save any money at all, as high cost of living in western countries hit the earnings very deeply. On top of that, too many taxes are levied which again eats into all earnings.

Player, come back home and play your toy here. Internet is not for you, too young. Wait, are you not supposed to be in school at this time?

Sorry my son is still in kindergarten the teacher never taught him about Donald Trump. And they only learn few simple words like “right brain” “tsunami” “magerine”. I left my laptop open and he keep writing here. Really sorry here.

*Block B is still open for booking!!!*

Hi All,

I visited E&O last weekend and placed a booking on 1 unit. But later after talking to some people I realized it is not worth it. For those buyers who have experience with Block A, can you please advice me what will happen if I cancel my booking? Do I have to pay any penalty charges?

Hi,

I visited E&O sales gallery last weekend and placed a booking on 1 unit. The price is RM800k+ for 10++sf. But later after talking to some people I realized it is not worth it.

May I know what’s your concern ?

@william
If you have not signed the snp, you can try to request for full refund. If you have signed the snp, the penalty is 10% of the purchase price.

During the soft launch of Block B, many voiced their concerns over the government reserve land but those units are selling fast and now almost sold out. Units facing swimming pool are RM200K more expensive but the take up rate is also very impressive. As is happening to most housing project, those facing west+low cost housing are hard to sell. Be it for own stay or investment, act fast and get a good unit if you are interested. Or wait for ppl like “william” to let go of their units.

@MJ

Please reply. You have a customer to serve.

William,

If you think it’s not worth it cancel the booking and pay the penalty. Enjoy a minute of ownership at Tamarind

@Block B

Unfortunately I have not enjoyed any bit of that minute of ownership. It was mostly regret and the feeling of being deceived. I walked into the sales office under the impression that Tamarind is being sold at RM660-RM700psf. But under the cunning tactics and manipulations of the sales and marketing guys there and the property agent that brought me there, I ended up with something that cost me RM800+psf. I would be very much grateful if someone can guide me out of this mess, with minimal penalties that is.

William:
I think you made a wrong choice first but luckily you realized it later.
My personal view is too much to pay 800k for a high density condo of >1000 units with only 10++ sf be it the best location in Penang island.
I just booked a unit on a new,full facility condo in Relau with super low density of 299 units, ~1000sf with 2 car parks sbs, up market material use only a mere 460k.
After all both projects also within Penang island.

Really regret buying Tamarind. No gain at all for early bird. Thinking of letting go my unit to cut loss.

I also regret getting Tamarind. I am Tower A buyer. Thinking of letting go. Penalty is 3%, not 10%.

@Dan, which seaview unit went up 200k? Check properly and dont believe agents words. I learnt the hardway because I thought E&O agents different. So my word of caution to Tower B facing reserve land, be more careful.

@Kenny

The market is very bad, there are many (you’d be surprised how many) speculators and investor clubs stuck with many units, can’t offload. IJM’s light collections, Pearl Regency, Vertiq, Elit Heights, Golden Triangle, Raffles Tower, just to name a few of speculators’ favourites.

They were all caught off guard by Bank Negara’s home loan control. They are all very panicky now, some are almost running out of cash flow and almost giving up, and going into bankruptcy.

My advice, when you’re picking a property to buy, you should not be making your price reference to the old norm. There’s a new ref, it’s about the old – ~30%. Just when you think this Tamarind is reasonably priced, think again. We are at a new norm now.

@William
There may be a way out with zero penalties, even if you have already signed the S&P. Just speak to the person in cahrge at E&O, explain the whole scenario and I’m sure they’ll undertstand the predicament on a humantarian basis. I’m with you on this, it’s not worth paying 800k for a 1047sf even if its a pool/part sea-view. I’m positive you will get your full refund. And if it does not happen, you can always wait 4 years till completion and be the first one to put your unit up for sale. You will at least get your cost price back and not loose a sen.

@Kenny
Did you also buy for 800k+ on a 1047sf of space? If so, you can follow what I wrote for William in this post above.

@William @ Kenny

It obviously pays to wait for 4 years and recoup all (or even more) of your monies.

Just need to wait patiently and in the meanwhile don’t let this episode ruin your happiness and well-being.

@william
@Kenny

By now you have realised this condo is over-priced. On Tues 10th Feb, 2015,
the bookings for Block A were opened to the insiders, E&O staffs, block buyers,
existing E&O customers.

So the left over is highly priced to the general public.

A bunch of amateur buyers. You signed the S&P on that day itself, that means you either a fool or you know what you are doing.

As for Kenny, the reason you are letting go because there is no appreciation between tower A and tower B. Obviously this project is not meant for you. Secondly, if you were to view your S&P you would have known the price stated there is before the discount. So theoretically speaking it is a gain in the future when you sell it.

How blind can you guys be?

Some got 670k for 1047 sq. ft. It’s still too high the price considering this
reclamation and Tsunami area.

This land is commercial land although electricity and water tariff is under residential

For Kenny, I sympathy your case. If you are expecting quick money from tower B price increase then property investment may not be suitable for you. There is no quick money in this. Even they increase tower B price you will also get nothing at this moment because you can only sell your property after OC. Development take time to happen and so as price appreciation. If you want quick profit you can try futures, Forex, Shares, Genting.. so many choices for quick money. If you invest in property, you need patience.

@tan2000
The tariff for utility is still under residential rate. We signed the agreement under housing development agreement, aka schedule H. It’s a residential property. and we will not be charged GST like when you buy shop lot The commercial land is not a bad thing. Generally, commercial land has better value than residential land.

I think those people have made a wrong decision by buying Mercedez C200. I really think that it’s not worth it to pay RM230k++ for a car. I just bought a Proton, it only cost me RM50k++ after all, it has four wheels and 5 seats. It’s enough to reach 110kmh, the speed limit of Malaysia Highway.

@17
I guess you nail it. good reply.
Ya, you can’t compared a relau to tanjung tokong.

Renee,
if everybody think like you, Mercedes will close shop..proton will also increase price.

@Block B
Don’t you know that Proton is going to increase their price. What is so good about this reclamation and Tsunami area to command such high pricing ?

Maybe u can tell us which locations deserve high pricing?

After looking at numerous of comments.

I found out that,it is fair to judge the item by its Brand and Pricing, such as LV, Prada or Bonia.

For example, some people would prefer Nike shoes, and some will go for Local Brand. But what are the differences? The differences are, One spent a lot on marketing, another one does not.

You don’t see Local Brands has huge advertisements everywhere such as Nike or Puma. All you see is Petronas in almost all of the F1 Track.As simple as that, of course, the origin are from Italy and could be made in Vietnam, China, Bangladesh or you name it. Same goes to housing projects, there are all built by foreign workers.

Have you never heard of E&O has workmanship issues?Yes it does, minor ones and major ones. Have you never heard of Ideal? What about 1Tanjong? I have one unit there too. How about Plenitude?;

Me and my Friends bought property from varies developer, down the stretch of Tanjung Bungah to Batu Ferringhi, mark my word, go and take a look on the quality of every projects. I would say, ALMOST the same.

About pricing wise, it depends on what you really favors and what you are looking at. If I were anyone of you here, I would say the Density of Quayside and Tamarind, almost the same. Quayside is around 8xx Units and Tamarind is around 11xx units. What makes the huge difference anyway? Have you ever heard of people staying in Quayside comments on the density? No right?

Regardless you’re an Agent, Sales Person, Intention Buyer(I believe real buyer will not seek info from here), anyone you can be. Don’t take comments here too seriously

@Go4mainland

This area is over-priced with termites. No need to consider for potential
buyers.

This is a good area. Education, shopping,healthcare, all is within proximity.

Player play back up your statements with facts.

As the saying goes, empty cans makes the loudest noise…

I already told you all player is a kindergarten boy. Please stop bullying my kid. It’s normal he doesn’t have any facts.. What do you expect him to tell you? he can only tell you tsunami, margarine, and nothing else. are you expecting him to tell you what location is good? are you expecting him to tell you what projects are good in Penang? obviously he cant because he is just a kindergarten kid. so stop bullying him please.

I like the place for the fact that it is so close to straits quay and Tesco. Some more it’s a freehold property. I heard the preparation for the second phase STP is going on well. I’m bullish on this area.

@Random

Please stick to your identity if you have “BALLS’. There is nothing to prove

Son, since when did you learn to take LSD? don’t you know you are not supposed to touch that? see now you are SKY HIGH again posting nonsense online. Guys i’m really sorry for my son’s misbehavior..

Do you guys realized that even with the 7% discount from the developer, you still have to factor in Memorandum of Transfer (MOT) which cost about RM20K++ for a unit price at RM800K and also interest bearing to the bank which cost about RM30K over a span of 3 years until completion. So it wasn’t really a discount if you ask me. In the end, you will end up paying the price stated in the S&P. Just my 2 cents.

So my son has gotten a pundek in front of him. Well, are you saying that if E&O never offer the discount you need not pay the interest and MOT initially; that these costs incurred after E&O offered the discount so that the discount was then considered equivalent to have been void?

@Random

MOT is the new strata act imposed by our government just a few months ago. Previously, we don’t have to pay stamp duty until the strata title is being issued which normally will took around 3 to 5 years after OC obtained for new projects. If “owners” were to flip their properties within 3 to 5 years after completion, they will save that hefty RM22K++ cost. And to answer to your 2nd question, Yes there are many developers not to mention who are giving reimbursement for the interest paid to the bank during the period of construction. The reimbursement is usually given on half yearly basis.

@Player’s Daddy
Yes I gave your son a nickname, hope you don’t mind. Anyways what I am trying to say is at this difficult times, developer shouldn’t have price it that high and the pricing for each units and each floors has so much variance to confuse buyers. It is a reverse phycology that they first gave you a discount to trick you into buying it then only to realized that wasn’t a discount after factoring in MOT and DIBS.
