10 days ago went to the site, there’s no changes. regarding the cable re-route, the office person told me only for the bungalow and super semiD. anyway, the cable still like spider web. Now, any updates from anybody? just hope they wont delay the OC again.

Is OC pass already?

look like they have some problems lauching the next phase. not sure what is the reason. usually entrance road to any new taman usually are very wide but BM Permai is bit small. did anyone notice that the road is not wide enough compare to any new taman. this will make the place look very messy in the future. WHH is not a branded or high class developer, so, don’t expect too much from them. Permatang Sactuary, I guess is another good choice. Developer is IJM – very famous in Penang, KL. Land are is much bigger that BM Permai – but the build-up area is samller. Location is near Alma, Tesco. Not yet launch but most of the houses already sold. Show house ready in May 2012.

Land: 32.8 * 98 feet (3214 square feet)
Built-up : 22 * 48 feet (1056 square feet)
Back Yard: 32.8 * 21 feet (688 square feet)
Car Porch: 32.8 * 29 feet (951 square feet)
Side: 10.8 * 48 feet (518 square feet)

Location of BM Permai is much better than Alma lar.

IJM in penang also got people complaint la…. example the Platino, Vertiq anf the Pearl regency. so far, the best developer is boon siew group, but they only built and sell. so, the houses are very expensive.

At last, the sign board of the Taman had been put up in front of the office. The size is very tiny 3ft by 5ft only. If you drive to fast, you might not notice it. Next will be Guard House?

a lil dissappointed, as the developer just use the small steel plate and engrave some word and put on it it..

Permai is not G&G, so i don think they will built the guard house.

Haha the taman sign board so big wo, even d bm utama is bigger, ok la, i knw dont compare with DNP DEVELOPER, but u may compare with the kindergarden school name MELODY, AT BM UTAMA, WAHAHA EVEN KINDERGARDEN SIGN BOARD BIGGER THAN US BM PERMAI.
And i suggest remove the sales office and make the road bigger

like @Ccyl comment….haha…

@Permai
Haha thx permai, SAY THX TO WHH, I COMFIRM PHASE 2 not much ppl wil buy, see d lao beh landscaping, n at nite u all try go see d light, wahaha, damn funny wahaha, same dark, haha set up so damn many tnb tiang, but at nite d street damn dark, maybe they (WHH) scare the thief no business to do, so help them set up d light so little so tat they can easy enter our house. Haha

@Jade
That why as i say before, for WHH ONLY BANGALOW IS RICH PPL, THIS DEVELOPER IS MONEY FACE, ONLY HELP THEM TO RE-ROUTE THE TNB WIRING, AS D TERRACE IS LOW CLASS PPL, SO THEY WONT EVEN SOLVE OUR PROBLEM. THIS DAMN (GOOD D DEVELOPER WHH TARAF RIA)
LOOK DOWN RM300K PEOPLE. HAHA I WAN SAY THX TO U.

@Banking Boy
What the price u give? Can discuss

actually, BM Permai house is not bad. I like the design. But, one thing I need to comment is that the entrance to BM Permai. The developer should make the road wider so that the taman can look better. I heard from the sales person that WHH do not plan to built super bungalow bcos they have some problem selling the existing bungalow lots. Phase II will only be launch after a few years. is this true ?

@Ccyl
If don want to buy, ask so much for what?
Better save your time, doing to blow jobs.
Ke Ke Ke,…..

Recently went to ask the officer again,she said OC may be will pass at May or June due to TNB problem.When I done the booking,she said march.then when sign SnP,she said may be April.last month said April or may.then now become May or June.Really disappointed when heard about excuse and excuse.Why can’t give a confirm date?

@Z

please open ur eye bigger and check the previous message, i was one of the owner of BM PERMAI, IF U R THE PPL INSIDE THE WHH, u no need say so much, as all people can see the truth. haha.

@Kang
As i was the early bird, i heard this kind of excuse many time ald, so that why so many people comment at here……….. dont put so much hope on the OC, it wil be late

wonder what is the price for the early bird for terrace?

@ccyl
may i know when you have sign SnP?

@kang
Y i wan tel u? U r not helping as u only is the BIG SIGN BOARD N WHH DEVELOPER PPL
(blek) u think i m kid meh? So sucking haha

@kang
Sorry kang reply to the wrong person haha

@T
Wan to knw ar? GO ASK TARAF RIA THE WHH DEVELOPER LA.

@kang
I sign since last year, i ald pay the house loan for quit a period, tat y i feel vry dissapointed with this developer. Since last year i heard d same sentences, delay n delay n delay d OC, so since they keep lying to us, and keep delay from end of the year 2011, til b4 chinese new year, til after ner year, til feb, march, april, may, jun, and this end of the year. This developer will keep say the same word, they never get the OC PASS, b4 u sign d snp, wat they oso promise u, wil do tis do tat, widen junction bla bla then start singing bla bla black sheep haha…..

After u sign they straight wont care about ur ccomplain, all this taman owner know this, haha. Jz sharing u here, dont put too much hope on the OC. we ald wait the OC TILL MALAYSIA CAN FEEL THE EARTHQUAKE BUT NEVER CAN GET IT, HAHA.

@Ccyl
Thanks for sharing.i feel soo disappointed.i am nervous because this is my first house.I plan to abandon but my mum said since everything sign already then no choice, have to wait if not will lost some money.

@Kang
Yalo, this oso my first house, that why i hope the developer may improve, but unfortunately this developer never care about it, and the attitude is vry bad. That why since they treat their resident like this, they will get back all the bad haha. We jz wait n see

You should feel glad about the small taman signboard. If the developer use 100k to build the signboard, it will take 1000 ringgit from each house. No businessman will do lose money job. Landscaping and tnb poles is important but it will not affect the house price much. The most important is the location and development surrounding. If school, bank, high end shop lots is built, the property price will appreciate. Overall BM Permai still good. Location is good and 90% of the house is sold.

Actually the developer have 2 years for the houses to get OC, as stated in the SnP. i hope May and June is the last delay…as starting august they will need to pay back to some owner who bought during the launching period.

agree with TL, BM permai location is still consider good, compare to others projects. the office will move out once they start and complete the 2nd phace.

@Ccyl
since u wanna sell off ur unit, mind to share which other projects u are looking into it?

Seriously, I don’t know why some people get so annoyed with the “signboard”….are you buying house or buying signboard???
You can’t compare to BM Utama or other G&G projects, as their residents need to spend on monthly fees. BM Permai doesn’t collect any maintenance fees!

With Zero maintenance fees, they still spend time designing some landscaping and build up a small signboard, what else do you expect???

Yes, like Jade mentioned above, the Sales Gallery office will be completely removed once the projects is done.

Take it easy guys, if you don’t like this project, no point keep bomboard on it, if I were you, i’d rather spend time searching for better place….. go get life~

@Jade
Yes, i agree u, location is ok jz developer bad

@Max
Of course la, MAX AS U R THE WHH INNER PPL. U THOUGHT I DUNO. HAHA
Dont compare wo, when y u care about my compare the signboard with the KINDERGARDEN haha. Sorry lo, as the the BM UTAMA oso no need maintainance fees.

What the hell the developer promise? Haha only delay n delay and look down terrace ppl. MONEY FACE DEVELOPER

IF U SO LIKE THIS PROJECT, BUY ALL LA…… HAHA NOW WHH OSO FACE ISSUE ON PHASE TWO LA, STILL SAY WAN SELL, HAHHA BLUFF PPL

Actually I am satisfied this taman and I love soo much about design and location. Just a bit concern with the promised from developer. I rather they told a accurate delay date than keeping excuse and excuse. Anyhow,I believe OC will get very soon.

Do you all go to Pisa? I start collect the renovation info from there and now do the comparison.

@Ccyl
1st of All, I’m not so-called “WHH Inner PPL”. If you refer to earlier post, I’m one of the owner.

2nd, go learn your english before talking crap here, not everyone can understand your language. I don’t mean professional english, but at least, something understandable.

3rd, do not use high caps words, it’s so rude.

4th, Who told you that I cared about your comparison in the first place?

5th, what do you mean by “BM Utama oso no need maintenance fees?

@Kang
Yes, I visited the fair last month (not homedec), one of the gate builder told me they already received order from BM Permai owner, they told me which unit but it’s not convenience to say it here.

and I visited Perfekta in Prai for kitchen renovation. Where do you guys go for Kitchen?

@Max
No idea yet, now still searching. Any recommend?

@Kang
I think I’ll go Perfekta for Kitchen. They seems professional in kitchen, and they price they quoted me is reasonable. and better yet, they don’t charge for drawing.

There’s another one name ChingKwang in bukit tengah, but the sales person wasn’t that friendly when I visited last month….you may try your luck there.

Another one is Renova or Revano, in Prai, price is abit high….

@Max
Add me at facebook kang830727@yahoo.com,ok? So we can chat further.haha…

@Kang
paiseh, I don’t have facebook account…but nvm, i’ll add you using by wife’s account instead.
nice to meet you here

@Max
Nice to meet you too

@Max
Sure u dont hv bcz u is WHH PPL. SORRY LO, MY LANGUAGE IS FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND NOT FOU U THIS KIND OF PPL TO UNDERSTAND.

I WAN USE CAPITAL LETTER IS BECAUSE I LIKE IT, NO NEED U CARE ABOUT. IF U DONT LIKE MY COMMENT U MAY NO NEED REPLY AS THIS IS A PLACE FOR PPL LEAVE COMMENT.

@Max
Sure u dont hv bcz u is WHH PPL. SORRY LO, MY LANGUAGE IS FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND NOT FOU U THIS KIND OF PPL TO UNDERSTAND.

@Ccyl,
have you been to the taraf ria office in Alma to complaint? the office girl told me there was a group of people went there to complaint to the boss. So, maybe you can go there to complaint. sometimes the sale office people didnt convey your complaint to the boss, so the main office dont know your concern lo.

@kang,
which type you bought? me too hoping may and june is the last date, and oc wont delay….

@Jade
i bought mini banglow type.how about u? I just paid another 10% of total. Now just wait the key of house.

@kang
mine is mini semiD

@Jade
Yes, we are the group, but the boss just pretend dont know and very rude, they say they cant do anything for it. Tat y i m so unsatisfy with this taraf ria

@Ccyl
oh, i see. so, now u plan to sell off ur unit? in ur opinion, which other projects is better than permai around that area?

@Kang
we might be in the same row….

@Max
Which number you are? My one is 42A.

@Jade
Ha ha…as I know, semiD size at bm permai is bigger than banglow right?

@Jade
Yup, wan sell off it. I look at jesselton hill know. The landscape there is nice, and the road is proper wider.

@Ccyl,
oh, jesselton hill is G&G, i’m sure the landscape is nice.

@kang
mine is only the mini semiD, the super semiD is much bigger. actually i’m wondering what to do with the big glass door….. grills or make wall???

@Jade
I also worried about that. I will look what others do then take as reference. Which plot you are?

@Jade
FYI – Jesselton hill by DNP is not under G&G, it is just a guarded only project and no gated. If you’re looking for new housing project in BM that having G&G concept, then you can look for Orange Villa by Tah Wah, Carnation Villa by Oriental Max, Gemilang Permai and Residensi Harmony by Airmas.

BM utama(Phase 1, 2 and 3) by DNP also a guarded only project and no gated.

@K9
i see, thanks for ur info. just wondering are you owner of bm permai too?

@Jade
I’m not the owner of BM Permai, last time i plan to buy BM Permai but changed my decision at the last minute cause of BM permail is not under G&G. I preferred G&G housing concept .

@K9
u can consider the house nearby i.e. behind Carrefour Bukit Minyak: Carnation Villa, GnG terrace start from RM429K, semi-D: RM656K.

@mega
Thanks @mega. I went to carnation villa’s sales office and Orange Villa’s show house opening today. If look on the location, the house’s build up with its pricing, the swimming pool and club house’s overall design, Orange villa will be my first choice !

I’m not intention came to BM permai’s blog site to comment on the good side of other housing project, I belive this is not fair to BM Permai’s buyers especially. I just coincidently saw the @Jade’s comment on Jesselton Hill is an G&G concept, just wanted to correct Jade’s comment, no other meaning here.

bye guys! 😉

Congratulation to orangers! You are the richest guy in BM because your house got lift.

WHH already bought the land beside the show room. They plan to build shop lots and apartments. I think this is a good move. The traffic flow is high. People live in BM Utama and Jesselton need to pass thru this small narrow road anyway. So, they can have dinner first to avoid the traffic jam.

@TL
Original OV house don’t have lift lah — the lift cost RM98K. original house don’t have lift ok. the original house look suck. look up/down the staircase – like low cost apartment. i’m of the buyer — DAMN

@lost
Make sure you don’t have dog. Or else you have to break up with the doggy. No worry, the house looks nice if you cover up the stair case. If you don’t want to put the lift, make the cover up area as a store rooms.

@Ccyl
You should feel glad you bought the house a year ago. The price should be low. Now the house price increase already. Untunglah you… You should belanja. FYI it is very common that project got delay. The developer just need be honest a tell the truth. Jesseton hill not yet build… You will have same problem 2years later. Go and ask people in taman Bukit indah, how long the developer delay the projects.

Hai,anyone go to site? Any updates?

@TL
Hi tl, at least the landscape is nice n all the ingredient is high quality include all the door, door holder evrything is cover well. Money is not a problem, the problem is this developer attitude

@TL
Hi tl, at least the landscape of jessolton is nice n all the ingredient is high quality include all the door, door holder evrything is cover well. Money is not a problem, the problem is this developer attitude

@Ccyl

actually it’s common that developer delays the OC….you may ask around, it’s really not such big issue to complaint about..
So, are you willing to let go your unit now? I have fren who interested in….

@lost

visited the orange villa show house yesterday…..yes, agree with you, the staircase is really a headache issue, it’s a problem that hardly be solved…
I can hear all the visitors complaining about it during the visit….
and it’s so embarrassing when “rubbing” with others when going up/down the staircase….

@Alice
The concept of the Santuary is great and should be a good buy for the future. But for now, the immediate neighbourhood is depressing though there is some great aroma therapy from the chicken farm next to the site, if one is into nature.

Since the entrance already small, have anyone of here know that will it be a yellowbox draw in front of the entrance?
i already mention this to the sale person last weekend and she said will follow up on this.

@Max
Paiseh leh, already gt ppl wan my unit.

In addition, i m nt only unsatisfied with the oc, but is the sales and this developer is money face issue, i dont think i nd ur concern here. Thx

@Ccyl
Which developer is not money face? If they are not money face, they will build school and temple… Hopefully the sales didn’t go the another developer that you are going to buy the next house. Go ahead to buy Jesselton hill, but becareful on the location. Choose the house not too close to the factory area. Wait and see how the sale react after you signed the SnP…

@Ccyl
who is concerning about you here?? who cares?

@mm
I think the sales person used to tell me that they will paint yellow box there, I think it’s a must…

@TL
Thx for ur concern and advice

@Max
YA AR, BETTER LO WHO CARE, HAHA

Tat sales person also USED to tell (lie)me about the oc, the material All la, haha all bluff ppl

@TL
Jz to inform u tat the bukit indah project not under DNP developer. As it is diff developr, no worry. Bukit indah as also 1 of the problem project, tat why all the owner they join together to upgrade their benefit.

@Ccyl
Oops typo error, I think is Taman Bukit Minyak Indah. The sink and crack taman behind carrerfour. Go and ask how long they delay project and what the developer do to help the land sinking problem. Sometime buying a house is depending on luck. You are lucky to buy BM Permai and sell it with profit… Good luck !

@TL
Em, thx for ur advice, and we oso wait n see tis whh delay til when since last year dec

Majlis Perbandaran only give OC every every 3 months.if you miss the slot, you will delay by 3 months. May and Jun is another time slot.

Anyone knows the progress？Seen like no any updates recently?

any new updates about the OC?

End May or June. I see some people already started revovate the house (outside) Planting trees, putting tiles…wah lau eh,Kia su…

before OC can do renovation already? never mind la, by the time get the OC, we got few samples house for referance

I went to the site this morning, saw almost all the house’s external wall and gate’s wall having cracking marks everywhere, the cracking issue might cause the OC’s delayed i think. But why so much cracking there? land slip?

The house workmanship and quality really suck!!!

The workmanship is so so lar.

The delay is due to theTNB cable re-route in the main road. They are replacing the old wooden poles with new concrete poles. The new poles are few feet inside. This is plan for future road widening project. The minor crack on the pagar is normal because the pagar is not build on piling. This should not delay the OC. Btw, The workers are repairing the crack and repaint the pagar.

@TL

thanks for updates.

TL, thanks for the update

Not only cracking on the “pagar”, almost every house’s wall also having lot of the cracking marks. Pls go and inspect it yourself. You’ll be shock when you see the cracking marks which got paint on it.

@koko
most of housing projects got the same issue — bangalas worker mah —

@koko, are you one of the owner?

@Jade
I’m not the buyer yet. Plan to buy a house and went to survey the site first. But i think this project not a go for me after saw the house and site especially the craking marks there.

@koko
take ur time to survey. there are lots of projects in mainland.

actually wall cracking is not a big issue, sometimes it’s just cracking on the surface.
BM Permai is sitting on hill side, which means hill land, so won’t have land sinking problem.
just watch out some “D*P” projects, they always build on swampy land….
and unfortunately, i’m one of their neglected victim.

FYI, I’m not BM Permai owner ‘yet’. Considering now~

@Roland

I am very welcome you to be a BM permai owner. My own opinion,i can said that this project is achieved a optimum point from many aspects.

@kang

wow..wall cracks very badly also can said developer achieved optimum points from many aspect? TNB poles and spider web on the cabling make our eyes pain to see loh…. that also called optimum point kah?

@siput

Actually this project is not that bad, the developer has agreed to re-wire the cables.
try go Orange Villa forum and read…..the price is already so damn expensive…plus monthly maintenance fees….
If BM Utama, I don’t even bother to visit their show house, coz it’s repeating my current situation: DNP + Swampy Land.
Juru Area, Traffic Problem plus flies issues….

@Roland

i think in orange villa’s blog, more sabotager than genuine buyers in there lately 😉 …Orange villa located in a strategic location, that is why the price also high. This is normal and acceptable. if i plan to buy a house, i will go to the site to do own survey first, commenters views in the penang property talks website just can act as a references only, cause commenters can freely used the nicknames that they like to post their comment here.

i went to the BM Permai site yesterday, noticed the cracking on the walls and fence that claimed by @koko, this is fact after i saw it by my own eyes! so, do own survey before making decision to buy or not is most important for a smart buyers !

and the housing price for BM permai also expensive too, 700k++ just for 2 story semi-d..i mean new launched semi-d which is shared same road with mini bangalow ..wow !! The main entrace also too small and only one entrance in this taman, this will post future issues on the traffic, the TnB cablling also looks eyesore too, later TM cabling will be come in as well…will looks more eyesore i believe ! This taman having over half millions pricing of mini bangalow and semi-D but still cannot have the underground cables, i think BM Permai’s developer will sure earn a lot on this project ! 😉

I just visited Megahomes, project opposite Megamall prai. The project is somewhat similar to BM Permai. Phase 1 about 100 houses and also plan for phase 2&3. Phase 1 going to get OC soon also. It is not a guarded project. The developer told me they are going to build a guard house after obtain the OC. The developer will pay the guard for 3yrs then transfer it to the resident. I think this is good idea.

Hi all, refer to comment above. We shall also request BM Permai developer to build a guard post and fund the guard for 3yrs. This is very important for the security. If the taman is safe, the house price will also appreciate. This is win win for buyer and developer. Residents feel safe and the developer able to sell the phase 2 & 3 at higher price. If you agree with this suggestion, please reply yes. I believe the developer is also following this forum.

In Orange Villa blog, we are not sabotager, we are angry buyer who want to get back our money. Very angry with the un-reno quality.

@TL

I agree with ur input. Building a guard post is a win2 for both buer n developer.

@Roland

are you living in taman bukit minyak indah?

All the housing project are having crack which is normal as long as the house not crack due to sink.
The crack is pasted on wall and will be repaint by developer after VP stage.
Visit the site, I found the place strategy for those working in island and carefour nearby as well.
not many left except few units of semi-d and banglo. Even got money also no supply for terrace and smaller semi-d type. too bad!!!!

@shp

how you know the crack not cause of sinking? this is major cracks as all the houses got cracking marks, not just 1 or 2 houses…cracking ike that also can consider normal? i’m wondering you’re kidding the buyer or you are from the developer site ?

Area surrounded by kampung houses and jungle.

To know if the land is sink or not, just check the house body and the land surround have gap or not? To be fair, anyone can tell if there is a housing project does not have crack issue?

Please go to Jusco in mainland and look for yourselves for the crack and sink on nearby house there and think why or ask someone who are expert from property talk. You will learn up more from there.
You may asked the contractor of the developer from other project. They will even tell u more.

In 2005, double storey house at bayu mutiara cost less than RM250k. In 2010, double storey cost RM330K nearby bukit minyak. Now, it has cost more than RM400k in Tambun indah.

If you don buy now, prepare to buy in jawi for RM500k for double storey house in next few year time. The penang island property has gone up to RM500 per Sqft. Awaiting to sell off my house in mainland in next few to earn ths ROI.

Shp, support. The crack is not an issue. Better focus on pushing the developer to build the guard post and fund the guard. This will make the house price appreciate.

No need to go so far. Just go to BM utama and compare the crack and land sinking issue. You will know what is called bad workmanship. Hahaha

@Chy

so you meant BM Utama has no crack and sinking issue or they are even worse compared to BM Permai? Don’t understand here….

You go and see then you will know. BM Permai is better.

I have a friend who bought BM Utama early phase unit. She told me the road in the taman sink badly just after a few weeks they moved in, and the developer cover it up ‘immediately’….
so, i’m just imagine the road can sink, what about the land that the house sitting on…..

The land is sinking. As long as you didn’t build extension, nothing to be worry. If you don’t want this happen to your house, don’t buy property build on lower land that need to be filled.

What is the update on building a guard post? When can get the OC?

Called office couple days ago, updates, here you go:
1) Ms. Irene is no longer working there.
2) OC was told in Month of June, delayed earlier due to TNB matters, now settled, and working on Indah Water. Estimated June. (Keep fingers crossed)
3) Guard Post, forgot to mention, will call and talk to them again.
4) Visited the site personally weeks ago, meet some TM Workers setting up the Unifi cable? I have no idea wat’s that about, anyone?

That’s all. (Dun shoot me, I’m just telling what I know and what I was told, that’s it.)

@Max

who is ms.Irene?Hope june can get the OC.

@Max
Unifi is high speed internet, with package 5mb, 10mb, or 20mb. Come together with IPTV setup box. Ooo, this area got unifi, nice lor.. Hope my bayu villas have unifi too in future.

thanks Max

Went to Permai last weekend. The workers were doing re-painting outside of the terrace house. Such a long wait….until the house looks old now…
Now only i aware there is a small play ground for children behind semi-D… not bad, at least there is something for my kids to walk around…..
The construction still on going there…do you think OC can get soon ?

The OC in June is only for the phase 1. The few Semi D under construction is phase 2. I saw they clear off some land in front the construction area. I heard WHH is going to launch shop lots and apartment project.

Wow, Unifi ready is great!
Guard post is a must.

support….support….@TL

Anyone has any idea of the Unifi Pricing? only offered by TM?

@Permai
You are one of the owner too?

Hi, I went and look around at super SemiD in BM Permai, anyone have any idea how much it cost? and do you happen to know anyone owns super SemiD and wanted to sell? Thanks

hi j, you may consider the phase 2 semi D. Under construction 70percent completion. Cost from 600k to 750k. You can also consider the phase 1 mini bungalow at 698k. When you want to buy, do ask the developer to build the guard post.

@J
So you mean the Phase 1-Super SemiD is sold out now?
the last time I visited, there’s still 2 units available…..

Why not you consider the Mini Bungalow?
Personally, I felt Mini Bungalow has better build arrangement compared to Super SemiD…
at least, the 3 rooms in first floor doesn’t need to share the same bathrooms & sink….

Thanks TL , Roland

I like to front view of Super SemiD and also the interior design looks very spacious too.

The Mini Bungalow seems a little smaller, right?

Probably I should go back and look at the mini bungalow’s show house.

any more comment, please share with me.
Thanks

@J

You’re welcome

Actually, you might need to take a look at Mini bungalow original unit, instead of the show house, as they have done too much work on the show house….

Yes, the mini bungalow is smaller compared to the Super SemiD…

Just an opinion on why i’m considering mini bungalow instead of super semiD:
– Cheaper!
– smaller land outside the house, so easier to maintaince..
– wet kitchen is already done, Super SemiD needs extra wall/renovation to cover it up…
– Super SemiD – 3 bedrooms sharing one small bathroom in first floor….
– Mini Bungalow master room has separated designed walk-in wardrobe.
– Super SemiD facing main road for the whole taman..while mini bungalow has better privacy..
– more spacious living area compared to super semiD
– and finally, you are buying “Bungalow” instead of “Semi-D”…lol

those are purely my personal opinions

Thanks Roland

Are you currently staying there?

Cheers

@J
the OC is still pending….estimated June..
and I haven’t confirmed on the purchase yet….but probably will.

Hi Roland,
great comments! I am thinking the same. I am looking at the phase 2 semi d but end up with mini bungalow. Since you are the potential buyer, ask for the guard post before sign the booking form.

Hi Roland , Chy

It looks like we could be potential neighbor in future. I have been looking around for houses in BM for sometimes already but haven’t really decided. I am not in a hurry and that’s why take thing easy and slow.

I also went look around Bukit Indah (behind St Ann Church), kind of like the location there but all units sold out.

Do you think the property price may drop? Many people keep talking about bubble, bubble and bubble, but in fact the more bubble people talk about…the higher the price goes up…

I also thinking to invest in KL, but my lawyer friend informed me that the property transaction in KL / Klang Valley areas already drop for 20%.

What do you think?

I also wish the house price will drop but it is close to impossible. All the newly launch project in Bukit mertajam still having good response even the price is sky high. The economic in Penang is still growing.

I went check around with some bankers on the loan details, they offered me 90% loan etc, meaning, if I want to buy a house for example RM 500k, I probably need to upfront RM 50k for the downpayment etc and will serve the installment for RM 3k-4k per month for the next 25-30 yrs. Also, I may need to keep a side another RM 100k -150k for renovation etc, agree?

That’s normal circumstances…

but I am more concern and interested to know…there are many people who may team up and put down payment for booking few units (here and there) for new launching projects, they would probably make 20-40k profit by re sell the unit (each unit).

What if these people who may got jam up financially? do you think they may just let go their booking with cheaper price?

Also, its almost impossible to see the fact that all the new launching projects – all almost fully booked. They will tell you…oh…all sold out liao…..only the middle unit available…..how can it be possible? I think very high chance some insiders (inside developer company or the developer himself) play some game there.

any comments?

This is why the rich guys become richer. Obviously, investing in house have higher return rate than putting the money in the fixed deposit. The risk is very low. The currency will drop but the house value had never drop in malaysia history. Malaysia population is increasing and we are developing country.

If you have 100k extra money, you can hold a 500k loan for 3 years. The house price will recover by then.

If your pocket not deep enough, good luck!

you have your point, couldn’t agree more, but I also believe location play a important part too. I invested on a SemiD in 97 and bungalow in 2003, the return also not very high, that’s why I am spectacle about investing in such a high price property. What do you think of shop house? any comment? I also heard the property transaction in KL also dropped as compare with 2011. Have you heard anything like that?

Cheaper house such as apartment and terrace house is good for investment and Easier to find buyer. Just take BM Permai as example, if you invested in terrace a year ago, today you easily earn 40k and you can easily sell the house. If you invested in bungalow or semiD, although you have earn 100k on paper but you can’t find buyer to buy the house.

Location is very critical in KL. In penang, any location is also good location.

Regarding the shop lots, do you think Icon City or Sunway Wellesley is better? If you know any shop lot going to be build along Jalan song bang Kheng?

Btw, you may consider the shop lot going to be built at BM Permai.

TL,
I am in a investing mood now, if you have any good ‘jalan’ or ‘Kang Tao’, please share…

My hand also feel itchy

Don’t forget to share . . .

When can get key for inspection?? any update from developer?

OC obtain? How Many units left?

Hi guys i heard O.C can be obtain in a week.

Finally after so long wait…:)

waa…. after the long wait…..

I just went there to check. Need 2 more weeks. Tnb passed already. Now they are testing the water treatment plant ( indah water) after got the electricity 2weeks ago. The water treatment test run have to be 1 month. So need another 2 weeks. How come some say only 1week to go. By the way, they are doing last inspection. The signbord have light

Dear investors, how about BM City Mall?

Wa Lau Eh! Bungalow at Harmoni Residence selling at 1.2million. Still selling like hot cake. Look like nothing is too expensive. Houses at BM Permai consider cheap ,I think they will increase the price after OC.

Friday Alr… Where is OC?????

hi guy…i have good news and bad news….the good news is OC already obtain, now they are working on papers to distribute to buys, expected to receive on Monday or Tuesday, but then please buy some time until Friday, i don’t want you guys to be disappointed on tuesday , anyway standby!!!!! now the bad news, the floor board at all the rooms got sound, that means, the workmanship is bad, maybe in 6months all the floorboard will come out .

guys, we need to work together we can ask them to compensate, because i’m sure all of you going to do renovation, so we can ask our own contractor to put tiles or redo the floorboard with good workmanship…..what you guys think?????

Hi All,

my experience tells me, you need to play hard ball with the developer, team up and claim for your right.

I had bad experience with a developer in Lunas, when I talked politely, they just push things around and hope you just fix the problem on your own at your own cost.

Long story short, I had no choice but play hard ball with this developer and finally got the problems all fixed.

Housing developer all the same, blood sucker and bully small buyer like we all are.

Team up and claim for your right and get ready to go to court!!!

Trust me, that’s the last thing all developers need is to go to court!!!

Good luck!!

@coco,
just now i called up the BM permai office, Kelly (the office girl) told me OC not ready yet, they are still testing the indah water wor. OC probably end of june.

Then which one is correct? If end of June, means delay after delay, one month after one month, wait and wait, soo sad…

You all should get claim the compensation from the developer.

Take the mid point. Some sales are over commit and some are under commit. So, should get OC by mid of June. I heard the Indah Water testing is need 1 Month to make sure there is no leakage. Still got 1 week to go. Be patient. I wonder who will move in immediately. I just hope 50% will move in by end of the year.

Hello Taraf Ria,
Things to do:
– Get the OC ASAP
– Build the guard post and hire the guards. Pass the responsibilty to the residence committe later.
– Improve the wood flooring
– Repair the play ground fencing that been damaged. ( If you have hire the guard, this will not happen)
– Repaint the wall that already grow moss.

i got info from out source not from developer, there are a lot of department to sign , maybe they take time for the papaer work

OOopss.. i keep checking the site here everyday and hope to get some good news about BM Permai. But seems like bad news more than good news… what to do ? Money has throw in to this useless developer pocket….. since already wait for so long liao, no harm to wait for another month… 😛

As long as they do all the Electric & piping nice and reliable, it should be fine. Some developers rushing deliver OC at the committed date but end up lot of problem. I am more concerning on how much is the market price now? Anyone knows?

1 more comment. Where is the tong sampah?

any unit want to let go for terrace house? wat is the price for it now?? i m interest to buy it…

Minimum 400k++, why don’t go andd take a look on Permatang Sanctuary Semi D?

it is too far from where i am working? if 400k…it is worth to consider?? who hv any unit want to let go, just let me know….thanks…

If working at island, the farthest location i can accept is BM/Bukit Minyak area. Alma for me is a little bit too far. This is just my opinion.

BM utama double storey phase 3 already selling at >400k with smaller size compare to BM permai. You may judge urself 400k worth anot.

Permatang Sactuary is very near to the main road. Compare to BM Utama, the distance is almost similar to Penang Island. You can try to drive to both site and make your own judgement. Once the Second Bridge open, you will 2 choices to cross ythe sea.

Wah Lau A…

June d OC still not yet obtained…

Friday again? Still no news!

if some1 want to let go the terrace unit after getting OC, pls let me know….thanks…

Went to the site today. The office is closed. No update.

I went to the office, trying to understand some question from them. The officer explain slowly one by one. I asked why there isn’t a guard house. they told me there is pros and cons to have a gated area. Before the project is launched, the developer need to decide whether it is gated or non gated. If gated:
Pros
1)Residential will be feeling safety and every unique visitor will be gone through checking.
2)In side the Gated area,facilities will be service and maintain by the employed gated committee

Cons
1)If there is crime happened inside the area, case still will be handled by police
2)Those rubbish need to be handled by employed committee, the rubbish truck will not enter into the gated area
3)need to pay hundreds of maintenance fees monthly
4)The main security will be very clear to every houselord in and out time table which is don’t know good or bad thing..

Overall, i am looking for strategic place like Bayu Mutiara but they are not available, so this is the next best location and autocity seems at the center heart of penang island, BM, prai, south of prai and second bridge. Heard that ikea will be at BM in the future, anyone know this is true?

Frankly speaking, I not quite prefer BM Utama or Permatang Sactuary place. I always travel the main road(simpang ampat road -BM) . It is always jam at few location
1)Traffic junction- Juru – Bukit Minyak Junction (KFC)
2)Traffic junction – Juru – Simpat Ampat (where left turn to BM Alma)
3) Bottle neck at Simpang Ampat one lane road (near police station)
4)from Alma to Kota Permai (currently building fly over),will improve but still got lot of traffic jam due to in front of school and too many hawker centre spot.
Best is to use Bukit Minyak Perindustrian high way (two roundabout).
I more concern on the most critical point is the juru -simpang ampat got alot of heavy transport from all the factories Especially the taman sukun junction always got accident due to fast lorry crash. u can try ask those stay at taman sukun ..

Hi FB, no need to be gated, guarded is good enough. The developer still can build a guard post after obtaining the OC and hire the guard for first few months. Once the residents move in and form the residence commitee. The residence commitee can take over. The fee to hire the guard is very minimum, each house only pay less then $50/month. This is a common practice for many taman in BM. The developer also able to sell the remaining house and phases at higher value.

Hi FB, like you comments. Well done and keep it up.

When Can OC obtained…???? Why so Slow…

Ya…when we can get the OC? middle of June? any news from the developer??

While waiting for OC, would like to know is there anyone who is interested to sell your terrace in BM Permai. I am willing to offer up to RM430k. please email me at carmenloo38@yahoo.com. thanks

@Carmen
You should consider top up to RM467k and get a semi D at nearby Titi Panjang. OC might be earlier than BM Permai, haha.

Hi Carmen, The Semi D at Permatang Sanctuary by IJM is RM440k… I also heard Taraf Ria will launch the Phase 3 : 3 storeys Terrace

Phase 1 OC not yet obtained.. now wan to launch phase 3.. ur not scare of that? promise 1yr a go OC… now still not yet..

called the office today, the office told they already pass the indah water, awaiting for the letter from indah water to proceed with the OC. hopefully end of june can get OC.

If anyone is interested in a 3 storrey terrace house with 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 3 balconies which has been fully renovated (designer kitchen, plaster ceiling, walk in wardrobe, designer colour motive rooms, air cond, fans, water heaters, alarm system, etc)…for more than 100k at Simpang Ampat, in a Gated and Guarded community, please contact me at stygianseraph@hotmail.com.

The house is in a totaly move-in condition.

I am the direct owner, no agents involved, I am a doctor and I intend to sell this house with very much hesitation because I need to leave the country for 4 years to continue my specialisation.

Always happy to arrange for viewing if keen to.

Oh yes…. missed out the cheeky part… I’m not too fussy about making profit, so, I’d like to sell at only RM460k.

@stygianseraph
