    @Chocolate
    Important if you want to withdraw money from bank. If semi flexi, you only can withdraw money from the branch you open the account & office hour. With flexi loan, you can withdraw thru internet banking, any ATM, any branch in Malaysia.

    Yes. Bellview claims largest shopping mall in Sbrg Perai n Penang (not Asean lah), near/along Frontage area, closer to Bkt Tengah roundabout……..but i observe the land area available is even smaller than QB mall area (so, how to be largest ?).

    @lee
    Usually, the validity of Letter of Offer from Bank is 2 weeks upon Date of Issue.
    Try not to wait until SPA done because each Bank has quota for every project. Once the quota is full, your loan will not be accept. Then you have to apply for other bank again.

    PM if you want to apply loan, I can help you. kclor@hotmail.com

    Maybank offer semi flexi islamic housing loan, which i feel is better that commercial housing loan cause the maximum cap for interest charge is only 10% no matter how high is the BLR rate.

    Have anyone take the RHB loan? They offer a good package with BLR-2.4, semi flexi but you can withdraw your money without any charge, they have waived it.

    Anyways, they have a clause that to mention that the different of OPR and BLR is cap at minimum 3.5%. I have signed the offer letter without knowing this at first place. Anyone can explain what is this mean?

    Current OPR is 3.00% and BLR is 6.6%, so difference is 3.6%. The clause means if the difference becomes less than 3.5%, says BLR decreases to 6.3%, then difference is only 3.3%, then RHB has the right to adjust the prevailing interest rate, says to become BLR-2.2% so that min 3.5% is there. 3.3% plus 0.2%, still 3.5% min.
    Not too concern because typically if OPR decreases, BLR deceases also and vice versa.

The show unit was quite impressive but i dont think the ceiling height was that high as show in the show unit. But i asked the developer the balcony was actual size as like our balcony. So far so good, strategic location and impressive concept and design for this developer.

    @Chocolate

    Chocolate,
    For the type A or D (1508 or 1507 sqft) when at QBM on around merdeka day was about RM420K -10% (RM42K) rebate and pay only RM5K (1.2%) until VP. So, nett is about RM383K with DIBS and 2 car parks for intermediate floor. So, early bird pricing is more worth than even Signature’s early bird pricing. However, the main down side is that this developer is the first time developer, never build anything before. However, thereafter the merdeka holidays, they adjusted (increased lah) the pricing, rebate scheme, car parks based on unit types, floor number, etc (due to blocking) to a very complicated ones until to the extend (that i heard) every weeks, price changes. So, I just wonder whether any late birds got better deal than some intermediate birds, he, he. Signature pricing mechanism is consider much simpler than this project. Did you invest ?

  100. Chocolate
    November 19th, 2013 at 07:41 | #100

    Type D price is Rm537K now in top floor. So price already increase about 100K to 120K just within 4 to 5 months! Those bought in first launch get very good roi now. If there is any unit below 5th floor, I don’t mind to whack one.

    Top floor is the most expensive and it is blocked during first launch, so the 383k should be the lowest floor, as first launch open up until 12 floor only.

  107. Chocolate
    November 19th, 2013 at 09:52 | #107

    Assume they increase 1K per floor, the top floor is 34th, so the increment is about 80K, not bad too!

    The price really increased 100k? 20k~30k then maybe yes, but 100k, hmm…

    The price not only depends on which floor (increase 1k each floor, perhaps), it also much depend on the scenery view from balcony (of course type A is better than B and C)

    But due to budget constraint, i go for type C at level 11 which price at 265 psf with only one car park. Actually type A & D is more worth since have additional car park. I know i miss the chance, but what to do since I am not afford for 390k.

    Well, i can guarantee you during Merdeka holidays at QBM, type A and D unit is below 390K, with 2 car parks, not ground floor but about your floor level (10-12th).

    They wanted the government to curb the price of property that keep on rising
    that is out of reach of the common people. So RPGT was raised to 30% , No
    DIBS and now net selling price to determine the loan. I hope they are fully
    satisfied by now.

    Don’t ever complaint that these measures have in fact make it more difficult
    for them to buy a house of their own.

    As I had said before, they should ask the government to provide more
    affordable housing with faster completion rate to cope with the demands. So
    can’t they afford now with all these measures implemented ?

    They have draw the clear cut already.

    PETALING JAYA (Nov 20, 2013): A new Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) ruling that requires banks to give out property loans based on net selling price, which excludes rebates and discounts, rather than gross selling price may affect loans growth for banks this year, Alliance Research Sdn Bhd said.

    Its analyst Cheah King Yoong said a BNM circular sent out to banks last Friday announced not only the expected ban on the developers interest bearing scheme (DIBS) and the interest capitalisation scheme (ICS), but also an unexpected rule for all banks to determine their loan-to-value (LTV) ratio based on net selling price rather than gross selling price.

    Banks can no longer provide financing for projects approved by authorities with DIBS on or after Nov 15, 2013 effective immediately. While those projects approved before Nov 15 have until Jan 1, 2014 before the prohibition is effected……….

    My opinion is that by now type C is already quite high price vs Kelvin’s price. For own stay, should be fine. For investment (selling and rental), you just need to aware and accept that your selling price and rental price have to be competitive with those early birds. I think renting out should not too difficult as long as you’re willing to follow others’ price as tenants won’t care weather you bought 370K or 308K, right ?

    November 21st, 2013 at 00:43 | #152

    For simplication, For those buyers which are yet to sign bank offer letter as at 19 November 2013, you will need to follow the new scheme which are net selling price.

    For those who signed the bank offer letter before 19 November 2013, you will given a period till 1 January 2014 for you to signed your S&P agreement. If till 1 January 2014, your S&P still unsigned, mean your current bank offer letter will have to follow the new scheme which are net selling price.

    This mean that you have to paid extra downpayment after developer rebates.

    Actually for any projects, APDL is required by all bankers for loan approval (because bankers worry to fund any illegal project). However, some banks waive this for certain projects based on trust and good relationship with developers knowing that they will eventually got the APDL and can provide later. So, HSBC may be more strict than other banks for this. APDL is also needed to print inside the SnP, sales brochures, etc.

    lee, did you get the offer letter from Public Bank or they merely said approved ? PB should be the stringent ones. Is Prominence in their ADL (Approved Developer List) ? If yes, probably waived up-front (and to be provided later).

    RHB need APDL boh ? Longmon, you can switch bank already.

    This is not allow by law for developer to collect any fee from purchaser without APDL, but it is allow to collect booking fee by their lawyer which define as sinking fund.

    The term that used must be careful, it is “Booking fee”and not Deposit

    For doing roadshow, it is also not a problem as the road show is call soft launch and not official launch.

    If developer can’t provide DIBS, they should compensate us with others thing.
    HSBC not provide us to sign offer letter yet.

    My guess is: DIBS abolished, developer provide x% rebate, many buyers drop booking due to loan NSP. That’s why i said, if u really want to buy no matter DIBS or not, then better secure the loan. Anyway KPKT memo also showing that bank can not release any loan to DIBS project after 31st Dec (if Prominence finally get DIBS).

    Signature in other hand is different story as APDL obtained before that. So Prominence may end up stuck in selling the balance units. Let say selling price is 500K and rebate 10%, buyer still need to fork out 45K cash, not easy la i think for many youngsters..

    They wanted the government to curb the price of property that keep on rising
    that is out of reach of the common people. So RPGT was raised to 30% , No
    DIBS and now net selling price to determine the loan. I hope they are fully
    satisfied by now.

    Don’t ever complaint that these measures have in fact make it more difficult
    for them to buy a house of their own.

    U r knowledgable…those developers who obtained their apdl before 15th nov still entitle to offer dibs provided their buyers sign before end of this year…in this case the signature are the last in town who still offer this scheme..the 5% discount given to cover the downpayment also still valid bcoz the EF have been long approved..

    if like this condition, loan based on NSP, many people will not afford huge down payment. one of them surely from myself.. Damn!

    As x factor mentioned, you asked for it, now u get it.

    KPKT and BNM intention is good and i support, but too fast to execute the steps within a short period. They will kill many youngsters for the 1st home. Salary increment just to slow to catch up with the inflation rate.

    @fujiapple

    IF you able to get the loan prior to 15 Nov 2013 and the developer end up get the APDL before 31 December 2013, you still can follow the old scheme (which no need to paid downpayment).

    Now only can pray hard for developer to get APDL.

    No way lee, the deadline is 15th Nov according to KPKT.

    在11月15日之前獲得當局批准的產業計劃,可繼續提供DIBS直至今年結束。但仍未獲得批准的產業,將即時禁止提供DIBS。

    Add on on the above,

    If the bank offer letter already signed before the 15 November 2013, will the bank ask us to revise the loan amount?

    Likely this project will have no DIBS. Hope that developer can give a very good discount as compensation.

    Just call to my banker and confirmed that those bank offer letter that already signed before 15 November 2013 will not be impact by the “net selling price” . The bank offer loan amount will not change no matter how.
