Was? So they didn’t manage to get enough people to buy One Foresta, now they open this up for the public? Or am I wrong?
Very interesting. I like the “camping area” idea. Wife chase me out I’ll just set up my tent somewhere.
Whats the different between Forest Ville & One Foresta? only bigger size ?
And i thought under same project site ?
Bigger 100sf u need pay more 150k compare to those first time buyer, worth? I also interested the camping area, my house rent out then I make a camp there stay forever, can?:-D
Just checked Ideal’s FB page, seems like two out of four tower is now normal condo? RM450psf does seems nice. Though high density, but offset by being close to nature, if you like trees that is.
I hope all those who rent out please rent it to other middle class Malaysians, if foreign worker moves in, it will be the end of this place.
As I understand it, Block A & B of One Foresta are now Forest Ville units…which blocks are Block A & B out of the 4 blocks…
The pro is at least this help to reduce the dense for these 4 block condo
con is block A & B with balcony would looks more like a “condo”, but for C & D seat beside A & B would looks like a “flat” with condo facility.
=.=”
May i know where is your show house for forest ville ?
One foresta project changed plan ?
Should be beside of One Foresta. Either One Foresta existing plan will be changed, not clear.
sudden change plan to forest ville.
but also same style as one foresta.
Went to the show unit of One Foresta, under renovation to add in the balcony. Looks like Two blocks of One Foresta will be changed to condo. If so, those who could not qualify for affordable homes can still afford this at 450k. Benefits are low down pymt, freedom to choose unit, sell anytime n don’t hv to get consent from State.
@Penang
Any more detail? 2 carpark + reno package also?
450k inclusive 2 by 2 tiles n 2nd carpark?
low down payment? after rebate 450k? rebate how much? free all legal fee and stamp duty?
im interested in this project…
who should i contact?
Forest Ville show unit available now. Same layout as One Foresta except with balcony. Can registered n wait for soft launch soon. Low down pymt subject to margin of loan or EPF withdrawal or govt loan.
details of Forest Ville:
1) RM450 per sf. Include 2 carparks, basic renovation (2×2 floor tiles, quality doors etc…), balcony
2) additional 10k if choose facing airport instead of school
3) every floor higher + RM700
no rebate? free legal fee& stamp duty?
Real disappointed with the pricing.. Thought this project transferred out from the affordable range will have a better deal, after add this and that so expensive. this price have been factored in the total cost of their corporate social responsibility work with built-in school. I am wondering during school hour, car coming in from outsider will it jam up the only road to this area? Any planning on the traffic and road widening?
Please shed light, as still considering whether to buy this place?
how much? can share? no rebate?
Went and check. Not 100% happy with my experience at the sales office, I asked one question, they answer another thing, assuming what I’m asking instead of actually listened.
Either way, like what I get out from the sales rep:
1. Starting from 450k
2. You get pretty much what One Foresta 390k package gets (big tiles, mirrors, 2carpark – side by side not guarenteed), slightly wider living room, balcony.
3. Add 10k if you want pool/airport view instead of school/market view (meaning facing outside).
4. Add 25k if you want corner unit with extra 50sf and more windows.
5. Gov loan 100%, low downpayment if you use your epf, “rental” rm600 monthly for x number of month for you, sort of like subsidise your interest before the building is finished? No mention of lump sum rebate.
6. Every floor add rm700.
I kind of mulling over this or buy from people flipping Sierra Residence, give and take something, it’s in the same price range…
@Chris
FYI regarding the rental RM600 have been told by them is for 30 months mean 2.5 years only. But you did mentioned Gov loan 100%, what is that? Could you please elaborate more?
Can I sell back 1cp to developer with price 50k like affordable unit blocl C&D?because my gov loan only 400k
@LostSoul
Government servants, loan from government 100% I think. I’m not familiar with how government give out loan nowadays, but looong time ago they let you know how much you are entitled to loan. You just take the loan, fixed rate interest, you pay your entire life and it is not flexible.
@@@
If you have two cars I won’t suggest it. Went and take a few turn around the area, you can forget parking at the roadside with existing road already taken up by flats around the area.
They start selling at 10 Aug I think, I’m not sure if I can be one of those people who queue up for a good unit… I’m not sure if the road can handle the new traffic.. the small intersection near Setia Tri-Angle is likely going to be a bottleneck.
The difference between One Foresta vs Forest Ville re bigger built up, no restriction to sell/rent. Price psf I same but 100% residential n fence up unlike One Foresta with shops at the ground floor.
@Penang
then you should go for forest ville.
Sierra Residences 900sf asking for 400k only, two car parks. Might drop further.
I have review the Sierra Residences 900sf layout, my point of view is, the 900sf unit doesnt have balcony and even yard, where the owner going to dry out their shirt? for those owner who own this unit would cry. Just my opinion, the door in gray color look like “flat”.
No offence, just my 2 cents.
Wah Sierra no balcony and yard….. this ma win d
Hi All,
The only way that i could purchase this house is only through e-rumah? Thanks.
Affordable house can apply through the developer. Forest Ville can just buy direct from developer.
hi, is there any illustration of the building?
@May
Hi May, you could drop by Ideal office to get the PN1 form together with Ideal Group Chop specifically for One Foresta. Then submit the necessary form to them, they will help you submit the form to Komtar Jabatan Perumahan. Good luck!
@Law
Oops, for Forest Ville you don’t have to go through erumah as it’s been opened for public application, you have to register at Ideal office and they will give you a call upon launching. Only One Foresta has to go through state application.
Perfect layout with 1k sqf.. budget of 400k i choose this better than sierra.
Now is the bad timing to buy house? I heard many ppl said loan interest will increase very high. Since our riggit now drop like hell.. anyone think of this ? Any suggest?
layout should not be primary consideration when buying a house. Location, density, car parks more important. My 2cent.
RM dropping, you still want to keep cash?
@Polly will
So, we have to keep our money in Forest?
RM will drop again, no more value, fast spend as much as u can, buy all properties by cash dont loan:-D
Hahaha great idea… all is not a problem.. problem is no money lol
how to apply?is there any unit still available ?
I am interested to buy this property what should I do ?
Still hv units but those facing pool n airport view are selling fast. Just go to I-Condo sales gallery to view Forest Ville show unit, basically same layout as One Foresta except bigger. Can reserve unit n then if buying. Just pay 1k deposit.
They say Oct apply loan, then SPA signing in Nov/Dec. if cancelled before SPA, get full refund.
how much after rebate? 450k?
how much is the down payment? and how much the rebate?
how to register?
Booking fee is Rm1k and down-payment is RM3K. Of course you can opt to pay more to reduce your loan. Go to Ideal’s office (in Bayan Baru) to purchase. Forestville’s Tower B is currently only sold by developer. Tower A will only be open next year.
Fyi, get to know All project from Ideal Property, upon completion there will be gangster contractor force you to take up their renovation service or else need to pay so-call “sampah fee”. They charge ridiculous price. Many owner of Ideal Property is facing this issue, and the developer didn’t help to solve this issue, worst still allowing them to set up a booth in the building. So think twice before make the choice to buy their project.
Hi I am broke,
Can u give me more info on this? I am a first time buyer and got myself a unit in forestville. Still waiting Snp.
What do u mean by that? Can’t we get our own contractor? Sorry. No experience living in condo. Lol
anyone here actually diverted from foresta one?
Hi, what is the current price now? Any units still available?
Price 450k onwards. Block B face airport still left limited unit and face school/market still have a lot. Block A not yet open for booking.
@AA
This is good project.. Buy now RM450k.. Future potential up till RM600k onwards.. Fast grab!!!
lol ppl buy 300k afforable unit sell 400k later, who willing to pay 600k buy ur unit:-D
Just realise u r agent, no wonder talk like that, sorry.
already book 1unit facing airport @Rick Goh
Just paid my booking fee of Rm1k this afternoon. Not much morning sun choices left. Booked Tower B facing swimming pool.
Booking fee rm1k? I thought 3k for forest ville and 2k for foresta? You buy forest hill ist?
Hi all which bank is offering the best rate for tis project?
Forestville booking fees is Rm1k and One Foresta is Rm3k. Reason is One Foresta already starting the ground and piling work whereas Forestville yet to take off.
@AA
I book 2 units for this project. For investment..this area carries high rental & can rent for factory profession…& this is not affordable house like one foresta…Good to invest.
This area will be very jam.
@Jam
Everywhere also jam lah
Anymore units available with airport and pool view? Hows the sales package?
@AA
Georgetown is worst.
Saya punyia kampong largi jam lo
Anyone have go to review the showhouse and the current package they offer? good to go?
Good to buy this?
Hi, do you know how’s the rental fee in this area? seems like a lot project in Relau and Sg.Ara and still a lot not occupied yet, so still can get High rental in investment?
It is the same area as Setia Tri-Angle and Meridien. McD is confirmed coming in.
@Newbie
you can go to mudah.com.my to check
@ck
price onwards from 459k regardless any view, rental subsidy reduce to 15k and other remain unchanged such as every floor higher add rm700, 2 car park and etc.
@jeff
Based on the price is good to buy.
Have anyone change from tower B to tower A?
may i know wher is the show room? can share the address?
At The One, Bayan Lepas opposite Old Town. Infront of 1-World and 1-Sky Condo
Look out for Ideal Property Group 5 storey office.
can sign S&P already?
@Penang
can share the address?
@Ricky
Still can’t n waiting for ideal to call. I think not so fast coz the overall booking unit still not reach half.
@marcus
Online go to ideal website search lah
@Big fish
I just called Ideal office and they said can start signing S&P since June 15, but need to get loan approval first.
APDL obtained already?? Else, how can developer accept booking without APDL?
Few of their panal bank call me for applying bank loan already.
As their feedback once loan approve, S&P is ready to sign.
my loan already approved but my banker told me by Aug only can sign the S&P
I now considering which bank to go, their offer already approve. I got 2 – 3 week time to get back them on my decision, by the time all done, I think also sign off S&P around august time frame.
by the way, weird things is I asking the facility floor plan from them, they can’t provide me any, due to there still got change on developer side.. quite a weird things, mean what ever they told us, it might not be happen ????
@KY
May I know what bank you have taken?
Anyone have idea about the rental subsidy? Ideal group post of $18k in facebook, but if buy from agent only entitle $15k?
I think Affin bank offers the lowest lending rate
For those with approved loan, how is the bank negara reduction in our effects the rate. Any difference? Wud be helpful if bank rates are disclosed
Ooops OPR
@Ricky
Wat is the offer from Affin bank? 4.4%?
@Tokok
less than 4.4%
@Chew
I haven’t decide yet, still have 1 weeks to go on finalize which going to be more better.
recently due to Bank Negara announce, i still waiting them revised latest rate for me.
@Chew
Did you ask the housing agent ? I dint notice that as well. ><''
@marcus
You may go to check on this weekend property Fair @ Gurney Plaza & Gurney Paragon
Date : 21 July – 24 July 2016 (Thurs-Sun)
if you haven’t got chance go to their showroom.
On the density issue especially blk b, will it effect price appreciation in future, any examples of similar projects. Got me worried suddenly
@Rajalu
N park in Batu Uban is also as dense this project, but the price has been appreciating.
@Ricky
Ya looked at it and a few other but nothing near block B’s 660 unit in a single block. Still believe it’s a good deal but still worrying.
Block A & B, how many unit each block?
@Dan
block A -331, block B – 660
Loan approved, signed, S&P august.
@Rajalu
Thanks for the info. Why not make it even number~
@Dan
Probably the land layout, my understanding is all facilities located at blk B also
Hopefully the penang pan island link project come nearby this place
ooops guess the link project beyond this property but could be near the LRT project though
just got to know probably missed the LRT oso, at least less noise.
@Rajalu
Thanks for your feedback
@Rajalu
May I know what is your interest rate and bank? Is full Flexi or semi Flexi? Thanks.
@Chew
RHB, 4.20, fully flexi
@Rajalu
Thanks for your info. You buy block A or B?
@Chew
BLK B
I just booked a unit at block A facing school & market. This is my first hse so I have no experience at all….How do you all think about Foresta Ville project? Would it in high return after few year later? Rental subsidy worth 15k? Good location? Market + School = super noisy enviroment?
I also booked blok A,face school and orchard views. .may I know which bank offer the best rate?and what different between fully and semi flexi?thanks
@SC
to put it simple, widraw of excess money if in need is hassle free in fully flexi but in semi it’s a bit difficult and got charges bout rm50 each time.
Hi, anybody signed spa? Heard from ideal staff parking lots allocation will be upon project completion and not during signing. Went to showroom last Saturday to check on some things, so far blk b facing school and market still a lot more not taken up yet.
Loan approved and now waiting to sign S&P.
Any whatsapp group or Facebook page for this project ?
Thanks !
Loan Approved. Can go to sign S&P?
Forest ville located at end of lengkok kelicap,few minutes from the main road..somemore have few apartment nearby…for sure it will be very very jam in the future…the developer will take any action about this?
Yes. There will be an alternative access road in the future.
Confirm have alternative access road ?still consider want buy or not?have pro n cons…
@Rajalu
err.. no worry. rapid penang goes along persiaran kelicap. you walk there and also walk to setia triangle… McD will be a the corner of setia triangle.
forest ville should be quite good
Forest Ville vs Artist 3?which one good for invest?
Done, SPA signed
Can sign SPA already ? How come my agent said still need to wait for months @@ ?
same here. my agent also said cannot sign yet.
How come different agent say different thing. I will sign SPA this Saturday. hmm…
i wonder is it because different ppl booked at different times, but my agent told me everyone also not yet signed…
anyone knows if the house comes with ceiling fan port?
5 points
This is my first time purchase house. May I know how is the interest going to calculate if build until my floor? (as i know i will need to pay more when it build to my floor right?) Advice need, thanks!
@walaoeh
yes, it’s call progressive payment. build till certain lvl, they withdraw certain percentage. like stage A, 10%, reach stage B, another 10% and so on and so forth
Guys not sure but mine the whole process took bout only 3 week. After my loan approved,the bank guy came to my place to sign, I inform my agent on suitable dates in Aug, and he arrange with ideal.
Pls check with your agent, if loan approved then you can sign spa oredi no idea why your agent delay
@Rajalu
The project APDL isn’t approved yet why so rush to sign SPA since it won’t be stamped?
@Ricky
Oh, myself just want to settle this thing and worry lesslah, no harm done
Hi, I’m interested for investment, perhaps for rent, not stay. Is this project a good choice?
Anyone know is that facilities only located at tower B?how about tower B?
Anyone know is that facilities only located at tower B?how about tower A?
@YM
All facilities in blk B, blk A has the treehouse, viewing deck, camping area, barbecue pit, jogging track

Hi everyone. Anyone sign S&P for forestville yet? I had a unit booked and was called by Ideal to sign it months ago. Bank loan approved.. Blah blah… Then only recently found out they haven’t got license. Can developer ask us sign S&P without even obtaining the license. First time home owner here, so when told to sign S&P,I assume everything is done and thus after checking,I sign. Any advice?
The license you referred to must be the APDL (advertising permit and development license). There are developers asking buyers to sign SPA pending APDL but their solicitors will hold on the stamping of the SPA until the APDL is out. The SPA is not legally binding before APDL and stamping.
The disadvantage of signing the SPA at this stage is that if you decide to withdraw the purchase for whatever reasons, you may have to compensate their solicitors some administrative charges for preparing the legal documents.
@sh
already add pls approve
@Charles
Just email you, pls add me & my hubby. Thanks!
@sh
we just add and pls approve.
Hi, anyone know about forestville ADPL status? Approved d?
APDL approved, get free 2 air cond summore, received SMS, my agent oso confirm
Received SMS about free air cond in living and master. Will call agent to confirm soon. How bout you guys?
Inform by ideal staff b4 they will install the gate at the center of blk b to reduce high density. Anyone heard about tis n ideal will install?
@Tokok
how can density be reduced by installing a gate? Mind clarify more?
@Ricky
After install the gate at center will have 2 side n each side have 11unit n will share 5lift. With this gate blk b will split to 2 side. So you are not able go to other side n other side ppl also not able come to your side. Tis idea quite good to reduce the density at blk b but don’t know whether they will install or not.
Too high density…mix with one foresta..can’t imagine in the future
Anyone know which bank offer better rate?
@CY
You can apply to all banks and compare, then only make decision
Is that forest ville very close to Orchard Ville?
Yes Yes Yes
@Tokok
Just signed SnP at the office. Confirmed no gate in center of the building.
@CY
I applied few in a row and compared. All almost the same. But I think RHB can offer the best la….

@Jo
RHB 4.25%
guys, may I know what the price now?
how’s the car park allocation being done? First come first serve? or randomly assigned?
@Zu
I knew, I try to change it but need to wait for a month only can change.
For those will go to sign SNP pls read letter of consent 1pcs only.
If I not mistaken in the previous project they balloting method.
Ideal force buyer to sign tis letter of consent if you want to proceed. Tis is upfront approval from buyer to alllowed them to change anything on this project, after signed we can’t do anything with them if they change anything on this project major or minor. Just saw few buyer not agree to sign tis letter.
May I know how much is the initial soft launching and additional every floor cost?
How come Ideal can force people sign such consent letter?
@AA
So those not agree to sign the letter of consent, were they allowed to sign the SPA?
@sky
you can sign the SPA but this SPA won’t proceed until you sign the letter of consent.
But my agent told me no consent letter anymore coz the APDL was approved ..
how u all pay the booking fees? thru online transfer? I feel a bit unsecured..haha
Any buyers here went to see the site and can share some info.
@elaine
Pay booking fees through cheque…more secure…
