    @Yeap
    Sorry Yeap I not work in CCTV field, so I do not know the price for full CCTV coverage, but what I’m trying to say is CCTV is just a tools, important is enforcement/maintenance. In the end CCTV is just for show and do no other purpose. It’s like u buying a car without engine. If there is a CCTV but the guard just sleeping in guard post / chatting, even with CCTV it serve no purpose. That is why we as Ramah resident, need form up a committee for people to complain those issue. Give warning to those guard that did not do their work properly and sack them if it’s more than 3 times reoccurring incidence. By that time what’s the point of having CCTV everywhere when guard is not doing their job???

    U do know that Malaysia ppl have 1st world law/facilities but when come to enforcement/maintenance is 3rd world mentality. We still need to learn on enforcement and maintenance with other country or at least change our mindset.

    But for example if I was be able to provided a quote by anyone with for example RM0.18 ( with cctv in every lift and guard house ) compare to RM0.22 (with cctv full coverage ( every floor, lift, facilities, everywhere) I’m glad to choose Rm0.22 because safety is my main concern. I don’t mind to pay more for better environment/safety. Above rate is example only. Dun come and shoot me.

    I’m saying that I’m willing to pay more for maintenance if it really benefit us.

    As of now, (my personal point of view, doesn’t mean everyone ) Ramah maintenance rate is reasonable because it have full facilities and covered basic safety such as CCTV. Please do not compare with old condo with old maintenance fee rate. new rate is from 0.15 – 0.30.

    ^.^ :
    I dont wish to stay with people discussing all maintenance and safety. We havent see the house yet even tiang!. Just be positive, if concern about safety or anything, we can discuss in the management community. How we utilize the maintenance fee we collected and serious penalty to those who didnt pay it. For the facility, RM is a condo not apartment or low medium flat. Most of the people choose to buy the property is because of those facility. From my personal feelings dont buy a property that you have so much complain about where there is many better option outside. You will never satisfy unless you afford to build your own house. i really pray for good ramah management community instead….

    Yes agree with you. Now we need to pray the developer will really build this 1st affordable housing project in Penang and not take our money and run away. If it really does, all our money will go to drain….. But this developer is cooperating with State goverment so I’m doubting they might do that. Any way see u all 3 years later in Ramah Pavillion :)

    Not understand why “some of the people” not allow other raise their concern/suggestion for discussion, direct or indirectly ask other keep quiet do not question and request this and that….or expect future RP owner when want bangsai then only cari toilet.

    As per their (some of the people) request, i’m decided to give up RP.
    Foresee future RP committee control by “some of the people”, they expect other RP owner do not raise any concern except their self. If other RP raise their concern during meeting, i think answer from “some of the people” is – sale your house if not satisfy or not happy stay in RP just get lost.

    Not sure after 5yrs this going to happen or not :-
    Block B one of the lift malfunction, people from block B request repair asap, but committee from Block A refuse because reason is still got another lift, 1 lift is enough for block B, why complain?
    But I think this impossible happen, just kidding…

    Wow, i like your comment so much, fully agree with u. How can stop hyuman’s right & ppl’s freedom to talk. These ppl will be either “some of the people” mentioned above or the developer themselves!!

    Because the ppl who voice out here all only mentioned their concern about building, high maintenance fee & safety, never personal attack. Sayangnya to lose 1 neighbor like u but there will have other justice ppl come up. Neighbor must unite together to be strong, else the one finally get the benefit will be the business men.

    Do anyone know how much is the maintenance fee + sinking fund for type F (800sft)?
    Also is there any other fees?
    Thanks.

  15. Dan
    May 21st, 2015 at 12:30 | #15

    @Ice

    it stated that the maintenance charges is RM2.00 per sqm in SPA. which is equivalent to RM0.1858 per sq. ft. together with sinking fund (10% of maintenance charges) is RM2.20 per sqm. which is equivalent to RM0.2043.

    Then u use 800sqft * RM0.2043 = RM163.44 for Type F ( 800sqft).
    (exclusive GST) but I know GST is exempted from maintenance fee but some ppl say otherwise.

    there are two more fee, Loan Legal Fee SPA legal Fee and 10% downpayment.

    For my case my SPA RM2000+, Loan Legal Fee RM4000+ for 323k loan. ( After First time home buyer discount )

    @lala

    o.O then good luck. Hope you can get good news soon. U may check in Erumah weekly too. Earlier i also did that and I found out was approved Erumah first then only I call Mssumit for confirmation. [ I was so eager to get this project earlier and was so excited when I saw in erumah online checking (weekly checking) that it was approved and I couldn’t believe it. ]

    U can also withdraw from KWSP account 2 for house purchase if you short in $$$. I also did withdraw from KWSP for my SPA & legal fee as I also short of that. haha

    Yea. true. Some ppl say RM200+ maintenance fee is expensive but they are calculating 1000sqft ++ , if people apply according to their financial capability, then then it won’t exist high maintenance fee in earlier post. They can always go for smaller size ( 800/950 sqft ) so that their maintenance is cheaper.

  18. Dan
    May 21st, 2015 at 20:21 | #18

    Just a helping hand for those who want to know the maintenance fee.

    it stated that the maintenance charges is RM2.00 per sqm in SPA. which is equivalent to RM0.1858 per sq. ft. together with sinking fund (10% of maintenance charges) is RM2.20 per sqm. which is equivalent to RM0.2043.

    Then you may use xxx sqft (size you choose ) to multiply with RM0.2043
    ( e.g. 800sqft * RM0.2043 = RM163.44 )

    Maintenance should be around :
    TYPE A: 1355 sqft = RM 276.8265 +-
    TYPE B: 1250 sqft = RM 255.375 +-
    TYPE C: 1155 sqft = RM 235.9665 +-
    TYPE D: 1050 sqft = RM 214.515 +-
    TYPE E: 950 sqft = RM 194.085 +-
    TYPE F: 800 sqft = RM 163.44 +-

    Wah, that is high. Fiera Vista with 470 units and good facilities is charged RM198 inclusive of sinking fund. Build up is 1400s.f.

    One Foresta is only at RM121 for 900s.f with so many facilities. service is long term running cost. Owner can finished paying off the loan after 35 years but will continue to pay service charge for lifetime!

    May 22nd, 2015 at 09:46 | #21

    @Penang

    U are comparing 2 things, 1 is affordable housing, 1 is normal housing.

    You may be true that FV is Rm198 but I do know some of the developer will put low maintenance fee to attract buyers and raise it after 3-5 years. So if I say after 3-5 years, if the maintenance fee raise to RM250, you still okay with it? (I’m not sure of Ideal developer though, just my sharing of my thought )

    Below comment is to General not to you only yea :)

    Another thing other than swimming pool, Lift is also high maintenance and it need to service consistently to prevent if from break down.

    One Foresta is 2700 units, it’s a high density condo, of course it might be cheaper for maintenance fee.

    There are few type of developer doing:
    1) Some developer they include maintenance fee in their sales price, so actually owner already paid for the maintenance fee in advance. So they are able to enjoy cheap maintenance, example Rm150 per month

    2) Developer start with low maintenance fee but include portion of it maintenance fee in selling price. Then after 3 years, they increase the maintenance by another 10% or so.

    3) Start with adequate amount of maintenance fee and the price is maintain for the next 10-20 years without increasing.

    4) Developer start with low maintenance and after 1-2 years, they throw this maintenance to the house committee, then how the ppl there maintain with this amount of little money? Developer will say well, I already pass this to you all ( committee ) and it’s non of my business. Wash hand and walk away.

    For now what you can compare is you need compare with other affordable housing maintenance fee in terms of density and total facilities. U need compare same category. Affordable with Affordable. Apple to Apple, not Apple to Orange.

    Well of course some will say Clovers have high class facilities, but mind you clovers only have limited units of affordable housing. If you are interested with Clovers, you may go ahead and apply and I wish you here good luck from bottom of my heart. If you already got the Clovers unit, then I feel glad for you.

    Just my sharing, I choose Ramah in term of its size. Clover can’t give me 1250sqft with the price of RM358,000 because Sungai Ara area is much more expensive and I know that. Well if you are happy with 800/900 sqft then it’s good for you. You may proceed to choose One Foresta/Clovers/Tri Pinancle/ Other affordable.

    Those that say Ramah maintenance is high, well you all may highlight to developer directly instead of posting over here, which is pointless. It’s like U kena robbed and you post on facebook/social media, instead of going to police station to make a report. Another example is U bought a rotten bread/faulty stuff from a place ( e.g. Giant/Tesco ) but you complain to MPPP. It’s pointless.

    Well if you want to form a small resident in this talk, so that all of you can go to developer together to feedback, also welcome here.

    Another thing I want to highlight is if for example, Ramah did hear you all eh feedback, and lower down maintenance to say RM150-220 acccording to size, but later years ( say 3-5 years ) then the new management increase the maintenance another 10%, will you be happy about it? or complaint again, why increase? all the while only RM150 why want to increase? in the end some people will stop paying maintenance due to not happy with management, what happen then??? things start to breakdown and no money to repair. Maintenance is unavoidable, if you dun like to pay maintenance, I suggest you get a low maintenance fee condo/apartment or get a landed house ( landed house tax are more expensive then condo but still bearable ).

    Above are all my thoughts and sharing only, you may agree or disagree. It’s up to you.

    @Yen

    True that is without sinking fund :) MSummit told me around RM0.18 too~~~

    But I’ve signed SPA. It’s clearly stated in SPA, Sinking Fund is 10% of maintenance fee. So I will quote what I typed earlier. Even in lawyer firm (San & Associates) also tell me that it’s no 0.18 it’s more than that.

    Human is like that. When price low, no sense of urgency to buy. Compare ‘A’ project so good ‘B’ project so bad, Complain this bad and that no good, When price moves, they say wait for price to come down again. When price never go back to 3 years ago, cry father mother. What to do? You complain and wait till boat already sail off. Only yourself to blame.

    Those who complain developers charging high for affordable housing, if you cannot afford to buy, go look for other projects. Go buy second hand low cost. Or any projects that you feel 100% PERFECT (Nothing is perfect). Actually no one force you to buy affordable housing. Don’t kill yourself. Later you buy then got problem paying maintenance. You will be harming the condo community because the maintenance of the condo will be affected. Buy something you can afford now. Next time got more money then upgrade to something better.

    If don’t like this maintenance fee, please don’t buy. Later you can’t afford to pay, everyone suffer when maintenance fee collection not enough. They charge $0.18 PSF is very reasonable. Its just that the unit you get is big so definitely when you multiply, the absolute amount is bigger than other affordable housing. Since now you know how much the maintenance, please think carefully. If you can afford, then ok take. If not, please don’t buy.

    Affordable house, condo price but Not affordable maintenance fee lah, you guys still don’t get it. Just like car promotion, cheap price, but dealer will earn it back from expensive service maintenance charges. Kena tipu lah.
    But, I will still buy and decide later whether to pay the maintenance fee or not. Sorry to Tan and supporters.

    its probably a good idea to pay. cos upkeep of apartment is also important.

    When owners fail to pay maintenance fee

    no money to service apartment, the value of the property falls, rent drops and the condition of the building continues to deteriorate.

    Who’s the final loser? owners.

    no problem eh… if u dun pay maintenance after certain period of time and it stack up to RM 5000, the management will give u lawyer letter nia, if you still unable to clear the debts, then they will cut ur water, electric, barred you from entering carpark, no access to lift, etc… Worst case is ur house kena auctioned off nia to settle your maintenance debt. Don’t u feel not worth it to let the bank auctioned of ur house due to not paying maintenance ???

    dun ever think u can get away by not paying maintenance. Because government already enhance the management act.

    Pls la dun trouble ur self to get affordable house if u unable to pay for maintenance fee.

    Its precisely people like Amazing’s mentality that will cause the downfall of a condo. If you are not ready or cannot accept paying this kind maintenance fee, then condo living is not for you. Go buy a cheaper maintenance apartment or low cost flat. Don’t make everyone suffer with you. Don’t “hai lang”!

    @buyer
    Its not about arguing on maintenance fee but rather to point out to everyone who wants to live in a condo that this comes with social and financial responsibility ie making sure you pay your expected maintenance fee. Or else the condo will be doomed from Day 1. Its not like the developer is cheating you by not revealing how much is the maintenance fee now. Already its known, so I don’t understand why people like Amazing can say such irresponsible comment “will still buy and decide later whether to pay the maintenance fee or not”. So we as buyers must eradicate this kind of people who is irresponsible and selfish. Why can’t we comment against such people? We have to protect our condo. You know how much problem we will have if we allow buyers to buy thinking its ok not to pay maintenance fee?

    May 24th, 2015 at 19:50 | #43

    @buyer
    It’s not about arguing but to educate future potential home buyer like us on the importance of maintenance. That’s what I have been worried about when people say high maintenance and some will people will misunderstand that it’s okay not to pay maintenance. Developer can’t earn through maintenance because it’s clearly stated in Sales and Purchase (SPA). All the fund need to go to maintenance account. We need to educate people on this matter though.

    We all future ramah want the best environment for us to stay, not a run down place Because most of us are buying for own stay.

    I’m sorry but I don’t have that much of money (800,000).

    Even if I pay the maintenance fee for Ramah Pavillion at RM250 per month for 40 years, it’s only RM 120, 000 add my current purchase value of TYPE B + 1 Car park = RM388,000

    Total for expenses for building is only RM388,000 + RM120,000 [ (RM250*12months ) (maintenance fee for 40 years)]= RM 508,000

    I heard about this price myself from sale agent of solaria/1foresta. If u want to correct it when u think it is mistake, u can go to their counter which is just in 1world area, opposite Dpiaza or beside the cruise steak house. Please go there to find out and feedback here, hope to hear from u soon.
    No matter 1100sf or 1600 sf, the maintenance fee will be RM165. There are <500units condo, low density, giving same facility but cheaper maintenance. That is NOT affordable house but charging cheaper.
    Maintenance fee of 1foresta is RM120. I think other people here may want to know about the market price of the maintenance fee, just ignore if u don’t want to know. Please highlight any sentences i wrote that u think i m trying to attack any1?

    For my type E RM298,000 + RM86400 (RM180 * 40 years maintenance) = RM384,400 only.

    Do you know their selling price for 1600sqft since u ask the agent directly? It’s too late for me to know already since I’ve make my 10% downpayment for Ramah Pavillion. Maybe future buyer can go buy Solaria Residence instead of Ramah Pavillion.

    And do not forget the loan amount because interest can kill you. If u borrow 300k from bank, total repayment is 540-560k in 35 years terms loan. So if you loan more, u also in debt more~ haha.

    So if say u put 30k downpayment and loan 300k, your actual house price is 540k + 30k ( downpayment ) = RM570,000. So If you want to sell your house in future (10/20years), please make sure it at least have RM600k, if not you are losing interest to bank~

And for other property (NOT affordable house) with cheaper maintenance, we cannot afford the property price (800k or lower).

    Just no offense to everyone, just ignored those who comment about this condo or that condo is good. It is your choice to choose what is worth for. What i wan to highlight here is no point to be so calculative, the developer press the calculator better than all of us. Chinese always said “pull long and replace short”. Either you wait or go for others it is up to your decision. If wan to buy house do your homework and make your decision, is no point arguing here and there. People will do his homework too cos buy house is not buy sayur….

    For maintenance fees, it is well recorded. Any implementation is up to community. Lets said we paying for 10years and it can sustain for WHOLE life maintance fees, after that we no need to pay anymore hmm just example. It is depends on management how to manage the condo with that money. Hopefully DONT MESS up..hahahax you can have a look on how summer place and Dpiazza manage their condo.

    Just can’t be ignored for those comment other condo lower maintenance fee. I do agree with u (bout the “gia tng po teh”in hokkien) but I like to voice out my opinion to others so that they will know and compare base on their senses.

    I just dun know why so many come up with maintenance issue in this thread and non happening in other project ( e.g. Clovers/ Tri /One Foresta ).

    Most of them like to promote ideal property here. Maybe they want promote that project to affordable people like us….. hoping we can additional throw in 100-200k to upgrade from this project to normal project~ haha

    Yea I also hope we have good management in future ( I dun want it end up like low cost flat ), we are hoping for the best environment for us to stay. This house is mostly for us to stay for another 10-30 years. We all just want to have a shelter over our head with enjoyable facilities.

    Why “none affordable house” charge resident lower than “affordable house”?

    What i mean is why solaria giving same facilities, but can charge lower maintenance fees when their density lower(<500units)?
    As before this, the "developer" say RP have to charge you higher because RP is lower density(750unit) when compared to 1foresta(2600unit).

    Dear all,

    The maintenance charges that RP charges is based on the forecast planning did by the engineer. Other project they can tell you how low is their maintenance cost but end up the fees collected is not enough to cover up the expenses. If the current rate proposed by RP is too high and after first year of operation where the all units are 80% occupied, if there is a lot of excess fund, we the residents can decide to reduce the maintenance charges. The developer of RP has done their part in helping the future committee member to ease their job in maintaining RP.

    As what Dan said in his previous conversation, the developer can set their maintenance charges as low as possible to attract the purchaser but end up the total maintenance charges collected is not enough to cover the expenses, then this will drop down the value of our property.

    ya la, i never heard price of anything will go down. Can give example?
    if u buy ur house at 300k, after 3 years go up to 400k, r u willing to sell at 350k?
    Committee doesn’t mean will protect resident, no benefit to take who want to be committee?
    When there is business then there will be corruption, which committee will reduce price causing them have lesser $ masuk pocket? No increase your price already big fortune

    Woah woah woah… straightway talk about corruption already????. may i know which commitee u have worked in ?. u saw any corruption using ypur own eyes?.

    if yes did u complain to MACC.

    PPL dont simply say corruption. if really corruption then we can complain to authorities.

    Your mulut lah si pek suay. Not embarass at all to state you don’t want to pay maintenance even before move in. This kind of people still dare say others for telling you off. Anyone get you as neighbour really bad luck. Its like you want to eat in a restaurant (aka enjoy all the nice RP facilities plus security) but don’t want to pay when the bill comes (maintenance fee). You go tell a restaurant owner you want to eat but don’t want to pay, before you sit down at the table. See whether he/she will halau you out or welcome beggars like you with open arms. Sia suay!
    RP is not small hat. LMC small hat suitable for you. Go apply for that.

    Are you fr developer ? I hope so, cos I worry to stay with buyer and neighbour like you, already flex muscle like Taiko even before one tiang built. Bro, pls be polite and humble lah.
    I stayed in LMC before ma, this is my upgrade ma. You like high maintenance fee, why not you pay extra lah, donation ma to prevent downfall and doomed of condo ma.

    Mr Tan is abit harsh. but all of us need to do our part. no need ask ppl donate one la.

    all masing masing fulfill their duty enough already. all happy

    BTW nobody ans my question. the B1 unit is 15 sqft less but same price. anyone still buy B1?..

    lilian :
    What i mean is not asking people go to buy solaria. Don’t try to change topic.
    Why “none affordable house” charge resident lower than “affordable house”?
    What i mean is why solaria giving same facilities, but can charge lower maintenance fees when their density lower(<500units)?
    As before this, the “developer” say RP have to charge you higher because RP is lower density(750unit) when compared to 1foresta(2600unit).

    Sorry I misunderstood you, because you didn’t post your comment clearly. I will just ask you 1 simple question, if a developer today start with low maintenance and increase the maintenance fee after the developer pass to new committee member ( e.g. Start at RM100 for a new condo, later 1-3 year, the new committee find out that maintenance is too low and unable to cover the expenses, they decided to raise the maintenance fee to new level ( RM150 ), or worst they ask each unit of the house to pay additional RM500 to repair some breakdown machine/stuff) ( At the end of the year, maintenance team will show the fee collected and the expenses in the noticeboard, then u will know whether if there is a extra or short of cash )

    Will you be okay to pay additional RM50 per month and the RM500 ( lumpsum)?

    For me, if the fee are for good use, I 200% will pay for it because this will really affect the facilities/community inside the condo.

    I believe M Summit did a great job here, because it’s doing it’s responsibility to protect those who pay for maintenance fee and prevent those unable to pay for maintenance from buying.

    Well if you able to tell me any affordable housing out there with the same value able to get me same sqft with lower maintenance fee, please do let me know the project name so that I can tell my friends to apply for that condo, because I will share with them that there are possibility those people who buy the house at there will suffer future due to not enough maintenance fee to upkeep.

    It’s like our savings for retirement, u want to save RM100 or RM10 per month from young so that 30-40 years later u will have a comfortable retirement or u still need to work at 30-40 years later to support your life.

    Thanks for backup and explain everything for RP.
    No need deny or admit…..I just guess nia.

    Please refer to all my replied comment and tell me which part make you think I’m from the developer. If I’m a developer, I will be no need to headache for my Loan Legal Fee which I need to withdraw from KWSP…. Because I believe developer will give their staff discount when they purchase this project.

    Please refer to above question I ask to Lilian. Will you be able to pay extra maintenance after they review the maintenance fee ( 1 year later )????

    It’s easy for developer to start with low maintenance fee, but when they pass to new committee member ( they no need to care anymore )

    If after you read all my previous replied and you still think I’m the DEVELOPER~~~ blah blah blah, then I will have to think that you are either:
    1) denial mode that reality hurts u badly because u just know how to complain and never find solution
    2) weak analysis skill

    Well if you still insist I”m M Summit developer, then those who promote IDEAL property here is IDEAL property agent/developer???

    Hi Guys,

    But what the lawyer ppl say, usually Developer will be the Management for 2~3 Years only right?
    If we really dis-agree with the price the Developer charged us, isn’t it after 2~3 Years, our self can form the community to manage it our self right?
    (Ex find a good, cheaper management company etc )
    Or we cannot do like this?

    hmm is quite funny, high maintenance fees = good upkeep? low maintenance fees = bad upkeep? Management community masuk pocket sendiri?.. Is it this problem happen before? oh crap! do we need to black and white all the maintenance expenses for facility? and also how much money collected from maintenance fees? i thought that this will be announced/letter every year by the management to every resident? Where i try sum up all the concern here:
    1. Maintenance fees
    * is it too high for facility upkeep?
    * any implementation to be added?
    * bagala security guard do his job bo?
    * send letter to all residents about how much money collected? “easily for you to calculate and verify management got cheat you or not?
    * how to handle irresponsible resident that not paying the maintenance fees and damaging facility?
    * how we select community member?

    Now i dont see any taing yet! should this topic highlight to management now? or We should asked the engineer come and show us data why the maintenance fee so high?

    May be is good you guy go and see summer place that charge “high maintenance” how they manage! for what i see most of the resident is happy with that!

    Different by 5sqft and the price is same 398,000.
    Initially I wanted Type A then they told me sold out, they then promote Type B1 to me, but after I calculate it’s better for me to take Type B, so that I can have the extra 40k for renovation later~ Maybe it’s God Will~ haha

    actually type B1 is 1340, means 15sqft less. means RM 4400 lost . Hmmm 4400 is still some amount of money

    500k but location wise still win this.

    2nd, the maintenance fees is the same since they started.

    3rd, RP is not low dense.more like high dense with those 700++ over residence but is the maintenance fees cheap. i would say no. it is above par of what it should be.
    with the 700++ over residence they dont need to have such a high maintenance fees.
    if not y should it be called as affordable house?
    so, the price should be affordable and not the maintenance? well done btw.
    anyone can tell the price of the total maintenance that is needed per month? is RM100k enough? if can neglect those sauna room, it would have save RP a lot of money.

    btw, someone mention that maintenance is calculated by some engineers but this would be the 1st project by msummit. condo project i meant. so, is this a CSR by msummit to get confidence from people so that they can develop more condo units? but wat about when others knew about how much is the maintenance for this kind of units.

    sadly, if i have more money, i would not go for this project either. it is because it affordable and i cant afford the maintenance and i cant even apply the F units as it is already sold out.

    Initially I applied for 198k but sold out.
    Now really dunno should I accept or not. Monthly installment plus mntnence fee is quite high.
    Honestly the mntc fee really is not affordable for me.

    I am definitely not developer. My tone is to stress the importance of paying your dues and you some more dare to openly state in a forum your intention of not paying maintenance. This is highly irresponsible. That’s why I liken it to going to dine at a restaurant without paying. If you still think its ok, then good luck to RP community. I guess you don’t mind staying in a run down condo, and its ok with you if the price cannot appreciate. That’s why I bombarded only you, Mr. Don’t-Want-To-Pay-Maintenance.

    I’m considering I Santorini 400k package, not sure is it worth the price but I like the location, just the density is a little high which makes me reconsider now, anyone of u know the quality of Ideal group?

    By the way, it’s leasehold isn’t?i saw from the property-talk there. But it’s ok if you don’t mind

    i-santorini 400k for 850sqft.
    easily you can buy ramahpavilion at less than 400k for 1350sqft. you gain additional 500sqft

    Thanks.
    Actually when I apply early this year they also told me type F sold out.
    But I still apply for type F because I can’t afford above 200k.
    So I also very surprise to get it.
    But the staff told me type F no balcony and also the third room is very very small.
    So I’m not sure whetheris it is worth to pay for the monthly mtnce fee of rm170 for this small unit.

    June 3rd, 2015 at 12:25 | #135

    Compressor cannot put outside of the room for each room and living hall? need to put in a compressor yard? it’s a compulsory? Yea I also agree put in balcony will make the balcony full of hot air and I won’t be going there much if this is so….

    Another thing I want to update future buyers because I just get the letter from M Summit if you want take the optional renovation package either 18k++ or 22k++, there are two type of payments:
    1) by installment for 20 months, 1k++ each month till 20th month
    2) you can pay lumpsum 18k or 22k and get a 5% discount on the reno package.

    to me 800sqft for less den 200k is really affordable. if you take out 200k and want to buy a house outside, you wait n years also will not get one. if I were you I wont let go

    June 3rd, 2015 at 16:12 | #137

    @yumi
    Yea, true, but they said freehold/leasehold, if a developer/govt want to redevelop that area, they will compensate you eh, regarding of freehold/leasehold.

    Leasehold you still can renew it by paying if there is no need for redevelop in that area.

    Yea agree with you, teluk kumbar is remote place~ in the end depend on people whether they like remote place or tourist place~ hehe

    @josephine
    wah u really lucky lo get this unit :) congrats to you. if you think maintenance is high then maybe you can consider one foresta with low maintenance RM121 (highlight by other people). the only downside is high density. If you don’t mind density, then you may reject this RP and apply for I-condo (one foresta )

    actually for Type F, I’m currently staying with my parent in a 800sqft apartment in 3rd bedroom (small room) and trust me the size is acceptable la if it’s a single person… enough for a single bed, 1 3 feet wardrobe, small cabinet, small table to put ur electronics stuff~ the 3rd room size I’m staying currently is the same with this RP.

    @Genius
    Agree with you, maybe 3-4 years later a 6-10% inflation in price so better take the package offered haha.

    nah :
    There will be no air corn’s compressor yard for master bed room & living room no matter what type u buy.
    Which mean we will need to put the compressor from master bed room & living room at balcony?This make the space of balcony become smaller. Some more the hot air from compressor of master bed room will flow into living room while we open the sliding door of living room(unless we on both air corn of master bed room & living room).
    Buying affordable house mean we have to accept lousy cost saving design?As building yard for air corn’s compressor will add their cost?
    Is air corn’s compressor yard for 2nd&3rd bed room available?Or we will need to put the compressor at wash area which we sun our cloth?

    I went to M Summit last Saturday to pay for the renovation package. I did ask them where to put the compressor and yes indeed the compressor will be put at balcony and wash area for my case. Type B. I wonder if those without balcony where they put the compressor. Better to ask M Summit staff if you have question.

    To general people who wonder to take renovation package or not:
    I will just share my case with you all. After you view all the document, you need to sign that document that you accept this package and the price. Think twice before you take the package. My purchase is type B, when you take the renovation package, they show you a document in a drawn layout, they will show you before and after layout for you ( e.g. electric points (before/after ), etc…. ) then at 1 page it will tell u where for you to put the compressor. for Type B, living and master room compressor will put at balcony at the top side, for bedroom 2 and 3 the compressor will put at wash area lower there they prepare a yard for it. I did ask them if we can put the compressor outside of the building. they say it’s too dangerous for the aircond service people if we put compressor outside of the building cause there is no safety precaution for them.

    @Dan

    It is ridicules that there is no compressor yard, compressor will be put at balcony and wash area. There is no wooden door which can cover the exit between washing area and kitchen fully, mean the hot air from air corn will flow into living from wash area.
    Mean when wife is cooking at kitchen which is beside wash area, she will sweat a lot because the compressor from 2nd & 3rd room will keep on releasing hot air. Else, will need children in 2nd & 3rd room not to on air corn while wife cooking. Or to build a wooden door between washing area and kitchen which can cover fully, but once the house is fully closed which the balcony’s door & wash area is close, the house will full of cooking smoke & oily as the only exit the cooking smoke can go out is through hood.

    Buying RP mean your house will be always be hot, hot air always circulate in between your house:
    1) Totally no on air corn=> hot.
    2) On air corn also hot, hot air from balcony & from washing area will always flow into living room.
    3) As the balcony between neighbor been designed to join together(except Type A), mean if u no on air corn, the hot air from your neighbor(which his balcony’s door closed while he on air corn) will flow into your house if you no on air corn & keep your balcony’s door open.
    4) Unless; 24 hours on air corn which the door at balcony & wash area always closed.
    Problem is, can residents in affordable house on air corn 24 hours?

    You no on air corn then the hot air from neighbor’s compressor will flow into your house also. The balconies between neighbors join together. Go & see the layout, except Type A, all balcony from Type B to E is designed as U shape, which the master room is at outer side & the balcony is deep inside in between two master room, fresh air from outside hardly flow into living room as the balcony is deep inside as compared to master room, master room at left & right will block the wind.

    Currently the apartment I live with my parent also join balcony, they have aircond too so far the hot air didn’t come to our living room. So I trust M Summit developer design as well. because the layout are the same like RP. So I have no problem. If you worried so much, you may highlight to M Summit ( developer ) :)

    Hello everyone here, may I know if we plan to sell the affordable home after 5 years, we will have to sell to ppl who are applying for affordable house? Is this rules available? As I asked the banker, they said within 5 years will need to go thru state consent but after 5 years we can just sell according to market price

  168. Dan
    June 9th, 2015 at 00:57 | #168

    @liz
    Yes within 5 years only listed 1st time buyer. But the price is willing seller and willing buyer. State will not interrupt with the sales figure as long it’s first time buyer listed in state list. After 5 years can sell to anyone according to market price.

    Hi SKy, you are wrong bro… there no restriction after 5 years…. only if you want to sell within 5 years then need to appeal to state government.

    Please refer to a quote from earlier reply and you may click into the link to check your self on the new housing scheme for affordable housing.

    Jay :
    @SR
    @Siri
    @LS
    After 5 years we can sell it to public. not necessary need to sell to household income less than 10k
    lets say if plan to sell less than 5 year then you must appeal to the state government and can only be sold to “listed buyers”
    2. Affordable Housing
    Affordable housing is classified as houses which were initially purchased below RM400,000 on the island and RM 250,000 on the mainland. Affordable housing purchased can not be sold for for a period of 5 years from date of Sales and Purchase Agreement. Those who wish to sell during the first 5 years must appeal to the state government and can only be sold to “listed buyers”. The price transacted will not be set by the state government but will be on a “willing buyer, willing seller” basis by both the “listed buyer” and the seller. “Listed buyers” are those who have registered with the Housing Department of the state government and are certified as middle-income groups that are qualified to purchase affordable housing. This 5 year rule will only cover all properties transacted on or after 1 February 2014. In other words it will not be retrospective but affect only Sales and Purchase Agreement signed on or after 1 February 2014.

    When msummit forget to put yard for compressor into the design of building, they simply suggest the residents to put the compressor in wash area. Suppose wash area can be renovated to become wet kitchen and only put the wash machine at the corner.
    It is so irresponsible, they forget to include it into the design then they suggest us to do it in this way which there is no other developer of condominium do the same before. Can anyone over here list the example of condo which put compressor in wash area?

    I salute on this kind of suggestion!!! First high rise project for msummit but they are so careless.

    No water tap beside toilet bowl, charge higher maintenance fee, now suggest customer to put compressor in wash area, they really push the patient of customer to the limit.

    June 9th, 2015 at 17:45 | #177

    @imwhoim
    Unit 6~ Mid Floor. Unit 6 is corner unit so I rest my case. I have no complain. Instead of complain, I would rather think of a way to renovate in future so that the hot air won’t flow in.

    What I can say is that for now the layout already in SPA, so I don’t think they will change if we have little feedback from residents. Because if they do change SPA, all the owner that signed SPA before will have to sign the SPA again. Maybe there is legal matter behind as well. I’m not sure. If you all want to shout in this forum, well go ahead and shout here in the end nothing changes. Best if you all really want to highlight is only through majority votes and press this to the developer instead.

    they all make a fuss to complain don’t have this, don’t have that. They think this is their project…. I’m saying we need to find solution rather than complain. complain you can’t get anywhere since the layout already approved by government and already in SPA. All like to cry father cry Mother…. really is complain king.
    @Genius
    Umm, yea old building don’t have compressor yard and they put outside building…. Currently the apartment I lived with my parent, the compressor also put outside of room near the windows. I ask M Summit can we put outside of the building they say it’s dangerous for air con service people cause there is no safety net for them to service if they are living in high floor. That is why they say put at balcony and wash area. Actually I can accept compressor put at balcony but not wash area. because when you switch on the air con in living room, you will close the balcony sliding door so the hot air won’t be flowing in for sure. As for wash area if indeed the compressor cannot be put elsewhere other than in Wash Area, then have no choice but to close the wash area door when bedroom 2/3 on the air cond. Anyone else have idea maybe can suggest to developer. More voice to developer and hopefully they can come up with something for us.

    About white powder, it is true that after sometimes, the white powder will usually fall down. But it is too tiny so you can’t see it with naked eye. You can do survey in internet.
    Ya, M summit always build landed project, first high rise project for msummit but they forget to put compressor yard into the design of building, they only suggest the residents to put the compressor in wash area.
    When you ask them where is the location of cctv, they will answer dont know. When ask is cctv available in lift, they will also answer dont know.
    (see from previous post)

    But when u ask is there possible compressor yard been added later on, they will say cannot because the design & layout already approved & is inside SPA already. Why not they answer actually there is a few of CCTV only(maybe 1or2 at guard house there) instead of answer dont know? Because they know it is a few, so they think of answer don’t know first?
    When you ask is possible the security been controlled by floor instead of block, they also will answer they will try, but usually will try mean cheat you at first but at last will not be provided, let’s see 3 years later how will it be. I will not see because I have rejected the offer, but you still can see. After you see, please drop your comment here, so that for those who have rejected the offer(as they mentioned in previous post), they can know, either to regret or rejoice, thanks.
    But no matter how, as long as the developer don’t run away with your money, get the house built, get OC pass within 3 years as they had promised, and their building don’t encounter leakage problem like 1w0x1d, it is big fortune to buyers already.

    Yeah most important they get the house built, the rest all small matter only.
    Btw i was told by m summit that cctv are available in lift, and not every single floor will have cctv, it will cost more maintenance fees, for where is the location of cctv i got no idea, they just told me they will put the cctv in various area and access card for lift lobby to ensure the safety, and for guard service in the lift lobby residents can decide need it or not, i feel this is MUST have at least 1 guard stay at the lobby.

    @Josephine
    Although i have balcony i also suggest to hang outside building nicer lo, wont be so hot.

    I dont agree. It is just like when u pay to buy a new car but not a used car. Is it as long as the new car can jalan then it will be ok for you?Even when the air corn of the car is not in good condition?
    When you buy a new car, you expect to lock your car by using remote control but not by inserting car key into key hole right?How if the design of the car make you have to unlock your car by inserting car key into key hole but not using remote control, can you accept it??Remember the car still can jalan.
    How if the designer of the car forget to put the security system into the car that when anybody try to break into your car, the alarm system of your car will not sound, can you accept it?as the car still can jalan.

    When you complain that your car have no alarm/security system, the car seller only tell you to buy extra lock to lock your gear box instead of complaining them to make improvement, the seller tell that you should be grateful when the car sold to you is functional to be driven on road, are you ok with it?(in the case of ramah pavilion, they forget to put in compressor yard into house drawing)

    Features of product sold should be given in conformity with the advertisement published and in conformity with the standard customers’ requirement (in this care is basic facility on high rise building), this is customer right. Even it is affordable house, but ramah pavilion is published as condominium level affordable house. When this and that are not available, not try to make excuse by telling it is just affordable house, so customer should not request to ask for improvement.

    @mand
    Please go feedback about your thoughts to developer. I think from their point of thinking Compressor yard maybe is a optional design, so they didn’t put in the design ( I just guess, dun shoot me ) It’s not like no Compressor yard you will die or what. I think there might be people out there that might not happy if there is a compressor yard in design because it take up some space of their house they purchase. maybe 50sqft or more. Not sure about that just guess again. Anyone with better idea on the compressor yard built up area would be nice to answer this question. If anyone else have other update from M Summit staff, please share here. So that we future owner will know if there is any latest update from them.

    After seeing all nice comments here, no wonder those buying ”affordable” housing still cant escape from the low-mid income bracket. Its like buying Proton Wira and change the badge to Mitsubishi Evo Lancer. If its were me being offered this ”affordable” house, I will keep quiet and just accept them. What is there to be proud about.
    Pity M Summit front line staff that need to deal with the nice ”affordable” buyer.

    Eco Terrance or Silverton buyer has buying power, they can walk away and buy other properties. Does ”affordable” Ramah Pavillion buyer has it? You do know what is ”affordable” right? Read the comments want CCTV, aircons yard, even SPA also needs discount.
    This is like go to hairdressing saloon college and ask for Taylor Swift haircut from the trainee.

    Support you. If you have money, you can choose. In affordable the most you can do is choose the project that suit you. Like what people said. Got Money, buy good car, no money buy national car and no air bag also can’t complain~ this is reality~~~ and it hurts low-mid income earner.
