@indeed
yes i agree with you. foresta 2,600+ units will look like a low cost home in the future.

Wow..is it really true that there’s a school there and it will be SRJK Shih Chung? Thought Shih Chung has one big site in Sungai Nibong already..?

@Audrey
yes, viewed the plan, look exactly like a low cost flat except for the swimming pool, i rather wait

@Audrey

Yup. there will be a sch. if not mistaken this shih Chung sch previously near airport wan.

@buying
thanks for the reply. I’ve however read that article before, but I’m not very clear on the criteria as below :

ii) Penang-born working in Penang and a registered voter in Penang or; Residing in Penang for at least 5 years from the date of application and a registered voter in Penang -> this mean, i have to somehow change my address to the address in Penang in order for me to be eligible to vote in Penang? That also mean I can’t do anything at the moment until I’ve completed my first vote as a Penangites ?

vi) Income not exceeding RM6,000 for Affordable Homes priced at RM200,000 (husband and wife) – is this phrase referring to the total household income? I quote a scenario : husband’s income exceeded RM6,000 while the wife is not working. Are they considered eligible for the affordable housing?

ix) For Low Cost/Low Medium Cost applications, the applicant and spouse must not own any property in any state in Malaysia; For Affordable Housing applications, the applicant and spouse must not own any property in any state in Malaysia except Low Cost homes – no offense, but why do I noticed some of them does not meet this criteria but was being offered a unit under the affordable housing?

Confused :@buying thanks for the reply. I’ve however read that article before, but I’m not very clear on the criteria as below :

whatever posted/replied may be subjected to doubt as the motive and knowledge of the responders are unknown. For on spot thru to the point without any doubt…goto Kaunter Perumahan, Level 3, KOMTAR and ask….

Heard that I-condo in Sungai Dua has been change from affordable homes to Condo. Seem like Ideal giving fake hope to all of us. We has been cheated by Ideal.

Wah… like this, maybe Tanjong Tokong affordable home might be scrap going by this rate. Good location if can sell at better price, I doubt they will make it into affordable housing. I waiting for this tj Tokong one.

Which part of sungai dua? I am interested.

Tan :Which part of sungai dua? I am interested.

click at the I-condo forum link…there are some info discussed there recently…

Went to Ideal office last week, the front desk clerk ( receptionist ) showed her face like “Justice Bao” to me. She likes customer and i became staff.
All Ideal staffs really unprofessional and act like they are the only 1 developer like GOD.

@buying

Thanks. They said the condo will be behind KFC. Very good location indeed. Wondering what will be the selling price and launch date.

It’ll not be a convenient but rather
a nuisance to have eateries,pasar
malam or markets around your
condo.

yeah. Ideal office staff attitude is really unprofessional, employ so many staff but just stood there like a model or kept talking among each other. All customers is transparent to them. Location wise, very congested. plus, I don’t understand why is their renovation package so expensive! Summit is only 20k, and theirs is 50k!! compare both packages and see. Ideal really $$$$$$$$$

You can’t blame them as they are the
current ” smart peoples “!!!!!!

@Alex,

Very agree with you, Ideal Staff treat us like beggar more than their customer, and their upgrading package is double the price of Ramah Pavilion and the upgrading items is much less than Ramah Pavilion. Whereas M Summit Group’s staff is more professional and more polite, they answer to all our questions professionally, maybe M Summit Group previously build all high end and exclusive project that why their staff professionally train up.

Penang 1 :
It’ll not be a convenient but rather
a nuisance to have eateries,pasar
malam or markets around your
condo.

Pasar malam is in front of Tesco, very nice to be able to walk there on Sat night to eat and shop. Not to mention Tesco, McD, KFC, nasi Kandar, food court within walking distance. Can easily rent out to USM students.

@Tan

It seems that you like nuisance to your area but not me. It’s also not
advisable to have temples or place of worship nearby.

I rather drive to the place for eateries,shopping,marketing or place of
worship.

@Penang 1

I am not sure whether you familiar with Sungai Dua. Behind KFC is the last piece of empty land there. Convenient for everything, school, food, grocery, 5 mins to Queensbay mall, 2 mins to Penang bridge. Walking distance to USM. If the price is right, all units will be snapped up before we even know it.

@Tan

Yes behind KFC is the road leading to RIMV. Inviting more vehicles in and
out of the area.

To tell you the truth it doesn’t give me more preferences to liking such
places.

isn’t that flood area .. after heavy rain flood up to car bonnet..saujana

Alex, couldn’t agree more with you. Ideal office staff really need to be trained as they have already failed at the fundamental level of customer service. People are still paying for this property despite its affordable one.
As for M summit staff, they are well-trained and attentive. One of the staffs even manage to explain in details from different perspectives. Thumbs up!

@Tan

It depends on the access road for the new condo. The USM view and seaview here is great. And there is no jam whatsoever during peak hour. Very convenient place to stay if you are not seeking to rent out your unit. Most of the apartment here are near full occupancy rate.

@suck

After the flood at Sri Saujana, the monsoon drain has been widen and deepen, no more flood in the last several years.

@ Barbie, alex & taylor,

Are you guys siblings? Similar writing style leh. Every week sure pop up new names but repeating the same old topics… Ramah Pavillion is better than Foresta la, M Summit staffs are more profesional than Ideal lar… this and that lar…

Got eyes can see, got ears can hear, Got mouth can talk but most importantly, GOT BRAIN CAN THINK MAR

@Tan

No jam ? Near to several junctions and with the famous traffic lights ?

hi, i heard now balloting start d. how to register if i want to buy? can i just walk in and pay booking fee and ballot? please help. thanks

Working adults are hard to buy a condo cost above RM500k in current situation. This affordable house not competitive at all, around RM430 psf, but rather than buy second hand house n sub-sale. As long as there is a roof to stay.

Anyone get loan approve and penang government approve?
S&P sign? What status at this moment? Easy to get thru the loan and gov approval?

When is RM 350000 balloting?

@Sour Grapes
hey ! im just first time comment at here. and we are not siblings we just saying the truth. eyes i see the staff in ideal how was their face when they talk with customer.. ears i can hear their talking with bad attitude.mouth i can say anything what i wan but im just telling the true as what i know when i go to ideal.BRAIN IS TELLING ME IDEAL’S STAFF IS FAILED! SOUR GRAPES DID YOU GOT BRAIN? PLS THINK ABOUT IT
msummit not 100% perfect but BETTER THEN IDEAL STAFF

It doesn’t seem that Affordable house is well received!! Why huh???

@ barbie,

Of course people are saying nothing but the truth but it happens too often now.

Firstly, the easiest method would be targeting Ideal staffs.

Secondly, slowly move into the intended topic which is to do comparison between Ramah Pavillion VS One Foresta. But most of the time, it is lop sided.

Thirdly, check back the previous posting and one would see clearly the similarity on the choices of words and the most obvious one the style of the sentences.

Siapa makan cili dia rasa pedas! oppps pedas o

@ barbie,

I sincerely feel sorry for you. Why not you write an official complaint letter to Ideal since you claimed

“your eyes see the staff in ideal how was their face when they talk with customer”

“ears i can hear their talking with bad attitude”

“mouth i can say anything what i wan but im just telling the true as what i know when i go to ideal”

BRAIN IS TELLING ME IDEAL’S STAFF IS FAILED!

btw, i hope i understand you correctly as your sentences really drive me up and down and up and down the hilly road just like the road to Teluk Kumbar

Wow sour grapes, its their right to voice out what they think. Unless you are from ideal? and u feel offended. =X oppps.

Ramah only has 30% take up rate, the sales staffs are desperate to get more sales by promoting their project here and there… hahaha..

Why nobody wants Ramah huh?

how about ideal? they don’t even ask the applicants to make any payment now but allow to ballot for their units. isnt this more obvious that nobody wants one foresta?

@TY
how many percent has the applicant sign their spa with ideal? 0% ??

@ DD,

Gone were the days where you could read constructive discussion here. What we have now is simply pathetic. Go and read back the post 3-4 years ago and you will understand my frustration. it doesn’t matter whether ramah pavillion or one foresta, all we read here is not constructive. We want information and not condemnation.

Luiz :

See what i mean?

@Sour Grapes
feel that you are the one of ideal staff. so profesional with ideal project. lol
you keep comment at here just taking shit slap on your face only. please stop it dy

@ louis or Louis,

Thanks for the compliment but honestly speaking, how you measure me as so “profesional” with ideal project? I hardly commend on the project topic leh!

further, i stay put with my nick name unlike some keyboard warrior who changes its name all the time…

@Luiz

How many percent signed Ramah snp i don’t know la, but paper said take up rate only 30%, another 20% waiting for government approval… everyone can see now Ramah has poor sales and their sales staffs are desperate now.. hahaha…

Why nobody want ramah? No good meh?

I rejected the Ramah and plan to apply for this project but the developer din ask 350k to ballot. Now i was informed by The Clover that i got the project. Should i accept or reject?

@BK
will you regret?
ramah you reject, foresta you no yt get, clover not so worth…

One Foresta / Ramah Pavillion ??? So quiet leh!

Guys, how about JKP project at Jelutong. Anyone hve idea on that project?

Any 1 received SMS mentioning that they successfully submitted PN1 form to State housing department?

if NEVER received sms consider REJECT?

My friend receive call from ideal that ask him collect back the RM5K cheque. And then ask him to submit the CCRIS statement from bank negara to Ideal. Any one also receive this kind of call?

how come ideal suddenly call and ask people to return cheque? so what is the procedure now, no need to pay can ballot? or cannot purchase anymore?

By all means please do not use other people “nick name”. This method has been used long long time ago and too bad your English is way too different from mine.

Hi all,

Did anyone already get the loan approval and state government approval?

Loan approved only, yet to select banker loan.
Anyone advice what is the next process? Inform Ideal to proceed to government?

@John

Thought Ideal already submit to gov for approval.
You submitted your PN1 form ?
RM 390 package?

@John
John which bank already approve your loan? what is the rate?

Yes, 390K.
PN1 form submitted after balloting.

@John

Bank already Approved, so just wait for the gov.

shd be 4.45%.
Didn’t received sms regarding PN1 submission. Yet to select the bank offer.

@Weird lah

Anyone can recommend me some bankers are good in service and efficiency.. because i was applied the loan nearly one month but not yet approved.. haizzzz….. so slow…

@Fy

You can try Ambank, RHB & Hong Leong.

@John

Ambank and rhb offer good??

Hong leong bank is so disappointed me..

@Fy

Affin & Ambank ok..

@Fy

Only Ambank and HL approved my loan. I met Ambank rep. at Ideal office and HL rep. is my fren. Affin still no answer.
Yes, bought MRTA as well. all rates are same and standard. no special rates.

Anyone already know the PN1 result? Can we online to check the application status as well?

@John

MLTA is different with MRTA.
You try to ask your friend for more details..

@Devil Gin

Thanks for your suggestion.
Finally pbb did approved my loan.

So,what is the next process that we need to do? Anyone did called to ideal office?

I also receive the call from Ideal said that its approve but have to wait for the letter from the state government~ so what next thing to do? Just wait?

They are say will need to wait until June just prepare all payment and S&P.
Maybe just need to continue wait lor.

@Fy

wait..
but never received any call from ideal.
did u received any call?

My friend got insider news, one foresta project is facing difficulty due to lower demand. The sales of RM390k and RM350k package fail to meet ideal sales target.I am worrying the project will not success as I have chosen rm350k package but until now no news at all from them.

Loan approved.. ready to sign letter offer.. for ideal side just received a SMS to ask us inform them if get any news from state government..

@Fy

That SMS received already earlier.
u confirm want sign the loan letter 1st?

btw which tower u get?

I haven’t sign the bank loan letter offer yet..
How about all of u???

I get tower c,high floor .. U?

Any latest news from One Foresta? Why become so quiet?
For affordable house projects like RP, TriP, and Clovers, buyers like already received the government approval and on going to sign SnP. I am still waiting for One Foresta.

@Fy

Tower C, low floor.
havent sign anything also..

so, we suppose to sign the bank offer letter or not?

State government already gave the 1st bath name list to ideal.. don’t know we are one of them or not.. so nervous..
Anyone signed the offer letter??

@Fy
May I know how you get the information?
I checked the erumah website, but cannot find one foresta in the list of “senarai projek aktif”.It is so confusing as other approved projects like arasia perdana-clovers, ramahP, sp celia, tripinacle also in the list.

ideal property group in wechat.. they will updated some information there.. I get the news from there..

@Ken
I also scare that important point like you mention this & checked on website in www.epbt.gov.my also haven’t appear wor..

33 successful applicants for the 1st batch

@Devil Gin
how do you know 33 successful applicants? how can I check whether my name is inside or not?

only 33 successful? i am worry what mentioned by Sam is true.Is there got any problem between ideal and state government? should i continue to wait or swift to other affordable house project? but i prefer one foresta, just worrying cannot get it while other available projects being grapped by others.

@philip

get this details from wechat group.
y dont we create a group n share evrting there. is easier.

To Sam, you can go direct to Ideal and get PN1 form for submission. Everyday there are people going there to register and get form.

Those who have submitted PN1 early April can check status at erumah.penang.com.my. Expect State to take at least 2 months to process…

Whao.. just now ideal officer did called me and informed me that my pn1 form is returned by state government.. it is because I did not passed up one more document..need to re-submit..(swt)..but it is also a good news for me as long as got result to see for right now.. by the way,this project has been approved by government.. no need to worry..

Hi guys, good morning. Need to clear some doubts here from those who have already applied loan for this one foresta property. hope you guys can help. in my case, i have registered and did the balloting. what do i do next? will the state government call me and inform that my application has been successful and inform me to apply for loan. is that the way it is??

thanks all..

@ronnie

you can proceed for the bank loan 1st while waiting for the state gov approval.
390k package?

@ FY

wow. mean u need to submit again?

Ya.. they will help me to submit again..
Waiting now.. so,what about you? Get the news already?

@Fy

Nope. still waiting & waiting….
let the process flow itself…

Hi @Devil Gin,
Thanks for the info. Will do so then. Yes 390k package.

any one get state gov approval?
seem like forever waiting…

To check our application status, go to erumah.penang.gov.my and key in our ID no. If in the process, will see info such as Dalam Senarai Menunggu. Developer will call applicants if rejected or short of doc.

Hi all,
Just wan to confirm, is the one foresta has balcony?

@Josephine
No balcony

@Penang
developer told me that my PN1 already approved, i’d done balloting, loan in progress, but status in erumah.penang.gove.my still under “DALAM SENARI MENUNGGU”. So which 1 is correct?

wait few more day to check again in Erumah or call to Erumah to check ur status. Maybe developer was updated by Govt but Govt staff haven’t update in Online Erumah. You may also call to Perumahan at Komtar @04-2621957 instead of going to Komtar~~~ but bear in mind… sometime they slow in pickup / no response. Just be patient when calling them yea

@Paul
i check my status online “DALAM PROSES TAWARAN (BERJAYA)” is this mean i already success to apply?

@Weird lah
Congrats to you~ yes, this means you success in your application for this project. You can call Ideal Developer for more information on what to do next.

@Dan
Wow, really? that is good news. My another 2 friends is also getting the same status. I believe you guys will be approve soon as well.

@Weird lah
Good to hear that from you, help me congrats to your friends as well. Actually I got mine approved for other project ( Ramah Pavillion ). Glad that you can own a house now I wanted this project too cause low maintenance but my family say too dense so we choose Ramah Pavilion

Finally I also get the good news, received call from developer and checked my status that is “DALAM PROSES TAWARAN (BERJAYA)”. Will proceed to the bank loan! Anyone can share what’s rate currently?

Finally, PN1 & loan approved. What is the next step? Waiting to sign SNP?

@John
Call developer to ask~ I believe should be deposit and ballot then only sign SNP

@SLC My PN 1 still not yet approved .

@John
After approved should go developer office and do balloting, after that u can start for loan application. But developer staff like not sure when to pay the deposit.

anyone signed their loan offer letter? when to pay the 10% downpayment?

@Paul

i tot we already ballot?

Does anyone know what are the facilities for one forests?

@liz
Recreational facilities include swimming pools, gymnasium, barbeque pavilion, jungle track, camping area, tea house and observation platform. Residents will be delighted with the natural and sustainable recreational park there. The park is well-connected by lush landscaped walkways within a gated and guarded enclave. From the swimming pools, the residents can all enjoy a panoramic view of Pulau Jerejak.

@Devil Gin
i think Paul is saying the car park balloting. cause this should be include in our snp agreement right?

@Dan
Thanks for your wish Dan. BTW, will the state government send me any letter for a prove that i had success apply the project? and the letter we will use to show the developer?

@Weird lah
No Need wait for Govt letter, You may check with Developer first, if your name is in their list, they will serve you. Govt Letter normally come late. Mine Govt Letter come after 3 months after I deal with Developer ( M Summit ), I just keep the Govt Letter for reference in future.

i mean anyone signed the loan offer letter and snp? Anyone paid the downpayment?

@JT
From above reply, someone suggest to check with developer. you can try do that first. Hope you can get the good news soon

i received the sms but now still headache should i go ahead ? 2000++ unit

I applied for Ramah Pavilion, why I got this? Gerammmm, going to reject this project!

received the offer letter and loan approved .. Yeah ..

@Geram
anything bad foresta?

@Weird lah

i received the SMS but didnt receive any other information (offer Letter, etc). as some mention above

how to confirm about this?
yup the Car Park need ballot..

@devil gin
U need to closely follow up with banker.. if not they will very slow one..
Everything I have done..(loan approved, signed letter offer, state approved, informed ideal staff)now just waiting for snp.. ideal staff told me not so fast.. because of many people haven’t apply loan yet.. car park not so fast can ballot also..

@Fy
Did Ideal called up and request to pay RM2000 to San & Associates?

I gave 5k cheque before.. caused that time they haven’t reduce the price.. but it is OK..this is include in 10% downpayment..

I received the state letter n ideal letter today . Yes , asked for 2k .. But ideal guy told me this amount just to hold and secure which not going to deduct from our account de .. I will sign the loan soon and pay the 2K .. Not bad this project ..

Wow..car park oso need ballot…and still not bad??!!
Cannot sign snp yet, need wait wait wait and wait…still not bad…hmm…

@Fy

My Bank Loan already approve
mean we need complete sign the Bank offer only inform Ideal staff?

So happy,finally received approval letter from state government.However, it only RM300K unit but I applied from Ideal is RM350k package. Mean I only can get RM300K unit?

@devil gin

Ya..u need to sign letter offer from bank. If not how to proceed to snp?? Ideal need bank letter offer then only can ask lawyer to prepare the snp..

@ken

Rm350k already balloted the unit?
My state approval letter is also just rm300k..maybe because of that is renovation package so it will not mentioned in the letter..

Good news….
I was told by one of the Ideal staff that now there is a change of plan for One Foresta condo.
Only 2 blocks of building (C, D) are affordable units
Building A, B, are no more in the affordable category.
Ideal will sell the 2 buildings as normal condo, which the price will be more expensive than building C & D, but the design of the building will remain the same.
So for those who bought the units in building C & D, is much cheaper and worth it!!!

ideal maintenance is around rm120 ke?

@Fy
Yes, you are right. Once approval, I feel government will not interupt any more on the package being choosen by buyer.
@KW
If this is true, it will be a very good news for us. Actually there are many buyers very interested about one foresta but they are not qualified under affordable scheme.

@Fy

Ok then i should sign the letter.

@KW

are u sure bout the news?

@ken,

RM300 k is the hs price
the 90k is CP + Reno..

Any one move forward for the 2k to San& Associate ? And confirm the loan with banker ?

Ideal Property Group executive chairman Datuk Alex Ooi said due to the rejection rate of bank loans hovering at 30% to 40%, the group finds it hard to sell the 4,840 units under the One Foresta and I-Santorini affordable schemes, priced between RM300,000 and RM400,000, launched recently.

“Over 90% of the buyers are in the late 20s or early 30s.

“Their gross household income, if they are married, hovers around RM6,000.

“If they take up a loan for 35 years, they have to service an interest payment of RM1,700 per month.

“With other commitments such as car loans, most of their salaries would go to servicing loans.

“The bank loan rejection rate for this income group is the highest,” Ooi said.

Ooi said the state government should revise those policies hindering the sales of affordable homes.

“There are first-time house buyers who qualify for bank loans, but because they stay in overseas or in another state, they are prevented from buying.

“The group has made plans to implement 10 projects with affordable components for the group’s 288 acres land bank on the island,” Ooi added.

It can explain why Block A & B may turn to normal condo to attract outside buyers (those not qualified under affordable scheme)

Ya it will becomes a new version of expensive “low cost units in cluster form” !

low cost pula…why ar? any reasons?

if they change it to non-affordable category for block A and B, I am afraid nobody wanna buy as they will feel unfair with the lower price of block C & D. Problem will then arise if the residents of block A & B thinking of selling their house in the future – who the heck wants to buy from you when you can get cheaper unit in C & D. Subsequently, if A & B not are not popular with the buyers, it will have huge impact on C & D as well. I am stronglu against this proposal, as it already looks like a low cost flat, dont make it worse.

Anyone here took the one foresta unit? If i would apply loan, is it true i only can apply the panel bank? If so can I apply the panel bank with other agent other than those in icondo office?

@LostSoul
yes only panel bank~~~ Unless future developer add in other new bank as their panel bank. You can apply with other agent within panel bank, but u need inform the developer agent name and the panel bank name you chose, so that they can process it faster~

Hi all,

we still need pay Legal fee ?
i tot 390 package already include & earlier we submit the 5k cheque?
Need advice…

Dear all,

Did any one received a messages from Ideal to sign up SPA after received letters approval from PN1??

@DeviL Gin
If im not mistaken, last time during CNY i was told by the ideal stuff, they only bear 50% of the legal fee for 390k package. You could further confirm with them and probably feedback here. Thanks.

@LostSoul

Ok will confirm with Ideal soon.
as on the Interest form it stated Free SPA & legal..

As what Ideal told me, free SNP and legal, but owner still need to pay for stamping, RM4500.

@DeviL Gin
90k CP+Reno
actually i get the list is 50k is CP + 40k+10k voucher is Reno

@Paul
That mean free SNP & loan agreement legal fees, right? Estimate RM 4500 for the stamping fees? Any hidden charges that Ideal not mentioned.

Received sms from Ideal that SNP ready to sign.

Hi all, previously the staff told me that if we take reno package, all legal and stamping fees would be free. Need confirmation on this else really bo tat for taking reno package.

@Madam
?? RM4500 is not for lawyer fees ??

RM300k & RM350k package = RM9k legal & stamping
RM350k = RM4500 legal & stamping

sorry
RM390k = RM4500 legal & stamping

@Paul
I dont understand how come the legal+stamping is so expensive?
for 1st time buyer there should entitle for 50% discount for stamping, so according to RM350K package would be around RM5.5k. Please correct me if I’m mistaken.

http://loanstreet.com.my/learning-centre/entry-costs-buying-property

@LostSoul

Need pay RM4.5K for stamoing fee

Did Any 1 already sign the S&P ? ?

how many lifts for each block?

@CCH
10 lifts each block

I wonder the plan still remain unchanged after tower A & B changed to normal condo?
I heard there will be gated to divide tower A,B and tower C,D, meaning the facilities no longer can be shared each other?
If really happen, will it give more negative impact to tower C,D which fall under affordable home category?

My loan just approved, don’t know should I move further to sign SnP or wait the new plan come out from Ideal?

ForestVille = One Foresta type A & B?

ForestVille & Summerskye @ G Hotel, Penang – http://admin.wechat.com/s?__biz=MzA3NTE2NzY3NA==&mid=208302631&idx=1&sn=220b600096c70351f99b6549947cda05#rd

Is it worth to buy 2000++ unit pls suggest me

I understand from Ideal facebook, tower A & B turned to new project named FORESTVILLE with 1000sf, RM450K onwards. The layout almost same to tower C,D but with A & B got balcony.

Hi, I just get my approval from Penang state government. Can anyone tell me what is the next step?

@Sunny
Ideal staff will call you to go over their office to sign confirmation letter, and you may proceed to apply loan now and ready booking fee 2k cheque. I have signed the letter last week, now looking for loan, but im still considering whether to take this project.

Anyone already sign the SNP for one Foresta project.

Tower A & B become not affordable already ” Forest Ville ”
Signing S & P nxt week

DeviL Gin :
Tower A & B become not affordable already ” Forest Ville ”
Signing S & P nxt week

May I know which bank loan you taking and what is the rate you got?

@LostSoul
Thanks for the information. Why you still considering to take this project or not? this project not good? For me the location is quite good. There are not many condo projects at there, Meridian, Orchard Ville and the Clover, then others are landed property by SP setia. For own stay i think is quite good.

@Sunny
I know this project has some strength on it like low maint. fee, much facility(tentatively, might change the plan during construction), near international school, the completion of setia triangle might bright up this area.

But this project is very high dense, and the access to main road very narrow to adapt such high dense residence, I know because im currently staying on setia, i know very well the infra and traffic condition on that area. Moreover this area not much amenities like bank and petrol station around(tentatively), normally a prime area you would see quite a number of banking branch would sit on that area.

The condos around that area not only limited to you listed above, it still has tree sparina(constructing), solaria residence(constructing), Reflections condo,fiera vista, couple of low cost flat, the coming is summerskye, and I saw Ideal still own couple of land and I believe its reserving to build future condos. Ideal keep develop the residences but without consider the commercial and amenity on their development area.

I sill considering is because I personally feel that the out looking like a flat instead of condo. Secondly I personally dont like the toilet door facing the master bedroom bed, not recommend in term of fengshui. The main reason is i got to know there are couple of affordable coming in on a prime area but unfortunately they are not launching this year, and there are still a lot detail never confirm.

LostSoul,

Good analysis but since you currently staying on Setia, i believe you can see the other developments very clearly.

Firstly, Setia Triangle will surely bright up that area and whatever is not there (the commercial and amenity), might be there e.g. McD etc etc etc.

Secondly, Tree Sparina and Summerskye are on the other side from One Foresta, I dont see how the traffic there will affect One Foresta> I think it should be the other way round. Dont you u think so?

Talking about Ideal keep develop the residences, do you know that Solaria and particularly, Summerskye has how many commercial units below its residence units? I dont know whether commercial should come in first or residential? e.g Setia Triangle should be build first or Setia Pearl Island?? Confusing!

Well, since you are staying on Setia, i think it is good for you to spend a good few minutes and figure out your surrounding.

those are just my 2 cents and btw

@LostSoul

PBB
4.45%

another Bank is 4.55%

how bout u? loan everything settle??

Devil gin
Hong leong bank also 4.55?

@Exec Kia
Tree Sparina and summerskye no doubt are on the other side from 1foresta, yes I agree it doesn’t impact the road congestion, but why I’m concern about all these project including fierra vista and solaria? Because it could be impact your selling price in the future when you are about to let go your unit however this not consider really a prime area. Maybe this is way too far for me to consider, but personally I would rather consider further to make better analysis.

Thanks for your highlight about the commercial, but do you aware? Solaria “Residences” and SummerSkye “Residences” both were residences, although includes some shoplots but the commercial I mean is fully commercial not tag with residences, like egate? Because have many cases like commercial attach with residences were not really successful, but I also hope the summerskye with high quantity of shoplots does bright up this land in future.

The commercial and residential which should comes in 1st, no matter which comes in 1st both circumstances would has difference consequences which would impact the residential price or commercial popularity, of course there are still many factors would impact the outcomes too, and detail I wouldn’t highlight it here.

Maybe some might think that I’m talking nonsense, but no offence, just my 2 cents, I might be wrong, but who knows to predict the future?

Thank for all the information and opinions. I will consider about it, since I now still waiting for the state government letter and Ideal sms about the project (don’t know how long will it take for the state government approval letter to reach me) I will still have some time to consider about it.
Actually I did consult one of the property expert, author of several property books which you can find in popular and he is also one of the speaker at the Star property fair. From his opinion, yes this is not a prime area, more to a local area where only local or those work at industrial zone will stay at there. However with this price at this area, it is very worthy and can go for it. It can be own stay or if after 10 years you can sell at a good price.
Yes, no one can predict the future, but for me, I am more keen to accept this offer first. At least I will have a house to stay in the future even though the property price sky rocket after this.

I would like to do a survey about opinion to the Ideal customer service crew at Bayan Lepas.
Basically, I feel the customer service provides very bad service. They way the explain or answer the customer is unprofessional. The way they treat customer is not friendly at all especially when you visit Ideal during lunch hour, about 1.30pm. They see you then just walk away from you (like see the ghost) and some more not dare to look at you! Come on la, I won’t stop you go to lunch, but at least tell me there are someone will follow up with me.
I’m not sure if I was the only person to feel it or others also have same the opinion. Please share your opinion here..

@Nat
Yes I have a same feeling with their professionalism, but I can say not all, their a 1 or 2 of them also quite nice and serve well, but recently I have feel that they have improvement on their attitude.

@Sunny
Haha no worry you will get yours soon, and I’m going to make a big decision within this week, either take up this project or cancel it and wait for another prime area project which is now lack of details. Btw what disappointing me is the ideal staff told me that, the 350k & 300K package definitely will get the view facing pri. school. WTH =.=”

@LostSoul
oh I see… I do agree with you some of them are quite friendly.. Is good for us to openly discuss here… Hope the management and the crew will look into it and keep improving their services… Being friendly to everyone is important to be customer service crew..

Everytime I called to ideal also just talking with Celine ng.. because she is very friendly and always answered on my doubt..

Arranged to sign the SPA soon..
What about you guys? How many of u already signed?

for the Ideal staff, yes, certain of them really have bad attitude, if you choose the RM390k package then they will entertain you well, other than that they just simply entertain you. Last time my parents went to view the show house then the Ideal staff just sit at there, when I ask them to explain to my parents they only move but with a very bad attitude (make me feel like want to complain she to her boss).
@LostSoul
I also heard about that RM350k and RM300k will get the primary school view, but this is affordable housing project, suppose all have to ballot, no priority should be given to certain category. I think this matter should be reflected to the bahagian perumahan in Komtar, especially YB. JAGDEEP SINGH, see what is his feedback since he always said that all must be fair and no short cut. Maybe invite he to the balloting session to see what is Ideal doing. haha.

Fy :

So which package you have taken? and how about your balloting? satisfy?

@Sunny
Ya I agree with you and support you to reflect this kind of unfair situation to YB. Jagdeep, just drop an email will do, and hope could really looks into this matter. Unfortunately I’m still struggling should I drop this project? As I personally don’t like the concept like shop lot attach below the condo. I’m personally preferred the condo like fiera vista rather than those like golden triangle.

been heard that rebate of 10k in down-payment.
wonder is that worth to take up 390k’s unit.

since due date to sign SnP is getting closer, need sifu2 advise.
anyone sign d ?
SOS

Just got approval letter from government. Got approve RM300K package. Anyone know what this include? Cat park? Tiles?

Buy Forest Ville, freedom to choose units, don’t hv to pay legal fees etc etc. Can sell anytime to profit and also no shops down stair! Affordable Homes clearly spelled out thus never compare it with Fiera Vista, Tree Sparina or etc.

Also heard that Ideal scraping their other affordable projects. Only developing One Foresta & I-Santorini. Those in Sg Ara, Sg Dua & Balik Pulau now X!

I read with disbelief at times because affordable housing already so cheap yet some buyers still like grumble and complain. Some even say not fair that the cheaper units have worse facing. Of course lar. Those buying more expensive units, will expect better facing. Furthermore from developer perspective, its fair to those buying more expensive unit plus they can do the renovation easier when all the units same section. If you don’t like the facing, then pay more. In this world, there is nothing for free. Better still, go buy Forest Ville coz you can choose to your heart’s content.

10k rebate? So just need pay 380k? Where do u get to know?

@ LostSoul,

You are right that one cannot predict the future, if one could than there would not be beggars around.

E-gate is totally a different story. It does not only rely on those staying around like Platino or bays water or etc, the locality itself is already an advantage. How many developers in Penang have this e-gate type of concept? I guess you may refer to cases like Summerton and Elite heights… not bad what ? Very successful indeed.

Having said that your future sub sale price would be affected by so many projects, again this is very subjective. Do you think the sub sale price for Block B or C is being affected by J Series or K Series? Well, different market different price. You don’t expect to sell One Foresta higher than Fiera Vista right?

I am just sharing my thoughts. No offence please

Don’t buy this project. Better buy Ramah Pavilion its more worth it to buy. Ideal trying to cheat you guys. Selling so expensive and even renovation package also expensive. Please think wisely. Even their project haven’t been approve by state gov. Besides that feel difficult to sell because a lot people going for ramah pavilion. trust me please go for ramah pavilion instead of ideal or others.

@ Jay,

We all know time is really bad. Market is very dry. This time around is buyer market.

@ Jay,

Btw, Is Ramah Pavillion so desperate for sale?

Haha Jay, so hard sell your Ramah Pavilion? We, buyers all received the approval letter from state government, so how you can say this project haven’t approved by government.

Personally, I feel Ramah is quite remote area for me but the selling pricing is more affordable for buyers. However heard that the maintenance fee is quite expensive (RM0.20 psf), meaning 900sf have to pay RM180/mth while One Foresta only RM0.135 psf. May be you can say that after 10 years teluk kumbar will become a very happening town area, but I believe that time Bayan Lepas also will become like Tanjung Pinang currently following by the Penang first LRT line from Air Port to Jetty/Komtar.

Yeah I do agree Egate itself alrdy on strategic location, in fact Egate not rely on those condos around it, but instead all the condos on that area relies on egate and tesco. But I’m personally don’t consider summerton and elite height as successful, as well the golden triangle. Because all these mentioned commercials are relies on the surrounding residences. The commercial I refer to is like Egate, Automall on karpal singh drive, or even mainland autocity. Why I consider these as successful? because all these mentioned commercials itself doesn’t only rely on the surround residences, itself could also attracting people from other area purposely go to that place to have gathering, activity or etc.

But if some would say the karpal singh drive itself a strategic area, I can only agree half, years ago without McD, Starbucks and even Automall. Is there a commercial shoplot with burgerking on that area? But why couln’t success during that time? Is it during that time that area still not name as karpal singh drive? What I can say, a successful prime commercial location does need to depend a lot from developer, a great developer would plans wisely the commercial lot on their vision city so that they can have better increase value on their future project on that particular area.

Having said that your future sub sale price would be affected by so many projects, again this is very subjective. Do you think the sub sale price for Block B or C is being affected by J Series or K Series? Well, different market different price. You don’t expect to sell One Foresta higher than Fiera Vista right?

Yes I do agree different market different prices, and of course 1foresta value will never get higher than Fiera vista because since there is a unit size different. But can you making sure all those existing and future projects which around the area wouldn’t impact your rental, future sub sale price and lead time? Again since you said it is very subjective, so is it a problem if we take this into the consideration? Maybe these minor details might not be your concern, but personally I do and I just share my point of view and concerning on an open forum.

Of course I don’t feel offense, this forum does need people like us to voice out their thoughts and sharing their opinion and concern instead of criticize on others comment.
I might be wrong, so please correct me.

@Jay
LOL, I do agree the reno package is very expensive, but the basic 300k for 900sqft on that area no doubt is consider very reasonable.

@ LostSoul & Exec Kia,

There is no right or wrong when discussing property issue here. Different people have different view so there shall be plenty of arguments even on a single topic.

Anyway, I tend to have different stand as mention by @ LostSoul on Karpal Singh Drive, Egate & Tesco vs @ Exec Kia’s Summerton and Elite Heights. Well, those are actually different concept but targeting at same group of customers a.k.a places people go to eat and lepak.

Penang :
Buy Forest Ville, freedom to choose units, don’t hv to pay legal fees etc etc. Can sell anytime to profit and also no shops down stair! Affordable Homes clearly spelled out thus never compare it with Fiera Vista, Tree Sparina or etc.

@ Jay,
Since Ideal is scraping their affordable projects, I guess you must be jumping with joy right? Any chance M Summit will follow suit? Convert?

@Fy
Hi Fy, may i know the RM10k rebate would be in CASH or in voucher for renovation package?

The 10k is directly reduce in your 10% of downpayment.. which means if u apply a unit price is 390k = 39k for the 10% of downpayment.. reduce 10k = 39k -10k so u need to pay 29k for ideal only.. for my case, I paid 5k to balloted the unit.. so 29k – 5k = 24k that I need to pay for ideal on September..
