Penang Property Talk

@KB, thanks. I had make a visit yesterday, great condo.. overall satisfy

Received delivery of VP’s letter today. Upon clearance of bank, we need to pay abt 3K+ for TNB deposit and 1+3 months of maintenance fees before getting door keys.

Just visited the site again on Monday. Was not able to enter the building, however am pleased to hear that they are preparing the letters to be sent to each owners for the final payment as well as the keys. Heard from the TPPT office that we would most likely get the keys by mid of June, which also depends on how fast our banks process the payments.

Apart from that, heard that there are no contracted contractors. HOWEVER, the cement and sand will need to purchase from a certain contractor.

Also, there may be charges / deposit required to pay up front prior to construction works. Such as the advance maintenance fees and etc. which will be detailed and mailed to us.

@KB
Great to hear that KB. That’s the same as what I just posted moments ago. Looking forward to receive my VP’s letter. Did they write any details on the other expanses required?
For TNB, we will need to go to TNB and apply for ourselves right? RM700 if not mistaken.

I feel it’s the time for us to have a whatsapp group chat acct to exchange idea and discuss common issues as owner/ resident of Platinum lll. Any owner interested to join kindly PM.

I notice that there were pilling activity carried out in front of Platinum III. Actually what is the project? LMC project?

Why we do have electricity deposit RM1.6k to help TPPT to pay it… anyone have any idea?

Hi guys, please comment about what the best to buy Vertu Resort Batu kawan or Platinum 3?

Platinum 3 is a low density condo (357 units) whereas Vertu is very high density affordable condo (1200 plus).It takes about maybe 15 to 20 yrs for Batu Kawan to grow.Like Bayan Baru,it takes about 20 yrs to flourish into heavily and congested city centre now.Telok Kumbar area is coming up with 3 man-made islands reclaimed at the southern side of the island.It also depends where u work.If u work on the mainland ,then u should buy it on the mainland and it is cheaper,but the value appreciation maybe slower than on the island.I am a buyer for platinum 3 and i like the design (all corner units) and quiet location.

For fast value appreciation, I would pick TK over BK.

Any comment about comparison of D’zone condominium with Platinum III ?

@YH
Welcome to worst condo in penang.. Both same same. Good luck

Even all units are corner, is the corridor will be dark during day time?

did anyone know the apartment next to block A1 that has empty land there, will the be used to built as indah water treatment?

Saw the brochure saying it has 3-tier security system, any owner know how good the security is?

i don see 3 security ……….

@Braveen
Can explain more detail instead?

Hi …for Tower A3, what is the future development for the L shaped piece of land located just behind the row of landed houses and next to the hill and next to Tower A3??

I am not referring to the square shaped land just in front of Pangsapuri Kejora but the vacant land just behind the row of landed houses , located next to the hill and right next to Tower A3.

@JM
Agreed. We shall question this upcoming resident meeting.

@KB

Thanks

anyone has any unit to let go? serious buyer

@winson
hi are you selling or trying to buy as well?

best property , I learned that now already sell at 780K , value investment, platinum III I like the brand name

Sure or not can sell at 780k? I see mudah the cheapest one is only asking for 458k direct owner. Seriously tell me if you want to buy at 780k I will buy with the direct owner 458k n sell it to you at 780k. Pls give me your contact

The transaction history is around 500k.

@LOL, recently there are buyer sell at 580K, it is appreciating…

Hi all residences here, are you guys satisfied with this condo? Are there lots of foreigners staying?

I’m asking cuz interested to buy 1 here.

How was the built quality for platinum iii? Can anyone advise?

@Asyraf hi @Asyraf, still looking for store ? i have 1 to rent out

Hi All, is A1 01 and 02 unit good? i plan to buy one for investment , any suggestion?

so far the built quality ok, no major issues as far as i know. For foreigners wise, i think majority are direct owner staying, of course there are few units with foreigners which is the case for any condo in Penang. P3 is very windy, less congested and one point i like is you can drive directly to your car park level instead of the normal spiral carpark design in most of the condos. Of course the drawback is this place is not so developed, less shops as compared to relau area.

I’m planning to get one unit there. But any idea if the population there are mostly foreigners or local?

@DT
Almost all condo’s in Penang has foreigners, just that the JMB has to be strong & strict. I just booked a unit there.

Can someone add me to the P3 owners whats app group please.

hi, may i know how to join the owners group?

i emailed to virgostar but didnt receive any reply yet. Is he/she still staying there?

@Liu
Im looking for the owner group as well. Let me know if someone has already added you to the group 😀

Any owner have small or middle room for rent in Platinum 3?

Please email me – chuin91.clc@gmail.com

Hi,

i’m interest to purchase 1 unit platinum3
Any current buyer have bad comment or any issue on this property?

thanks

@interest buy
i think it’s a decent choice for own stay.

Pro
1) at 1330 sqf, Price per sqf is cheaper compared to new launch property in sungai ara/bayan lepas
2) Low density at 6 units per floor and all corner lot, good natural light and natural ventilation
*high level units facing back have amazing view of Penang airport, mountain and sea view.
3) direct highway to airport and bayan lepas industrial area.
4) Sloped hill access to car park, direct access to your car park level

Con:
1) Higher maintenance fee due to lower density, but so far looks to be well maintained
2) no TIME internet yet, but have unify fiber
3) Facilities are not as “wow” as new launch projects.
4) as of now only 1 exit with traffic light to go towards bayan lepas industrial side for the whole area

pro?con? a new food court just completed right outside of Platinum III
