Cannot choose what unit that u want..also need to go through balloting.. but the view is not facing sch and market.. That’s why more expensive than original price..during balloting, u can ballot until u get the lucky number which u like..

reminds me of macallum street…

I got block c and facing the swmming pool

@Fy
so u get which unit?

@Popopo
wao! we are in the same block !
perhaps can be neighbor n yamcha after completed the task.

Get block c also.. I wish to get a corner unit..but failed to get it.. haha.. nvm.. get a not bad unit also

@Popopo

same here..
we all can be neighbor d..

Ya can yam cha after 3 years ….by the way u guy know 1 tower got how mnay floor and 1 floor got how many unit anot that day forget to ask

May I know if I take the RM300K unit will I be entitled to the 10k rebate?

That is 22 unit per floor.. one tower is around 40 or 41 floors.. floor 1 to 10 is multiple carpark..

@maria leow
300k is not entitled to the rebate..

@Fy
im too, not able to get corner unit.

@Popopo
@Devil Gin
u guys do sign for S&P already?

according to ideal staff, they mention takes 4 years to complete.
correct me if wrong.

@chin

signing S&P soon.
u signed ade?
yup i heard 4 years also. but i tot it stated on the S&P?

May I know why prefer corner unit since the sq ft is same?
Water pump is locate at which flr?

@snail gut
snail gut you already sign S&P? I’m going to sign next week Thursday, U?? I’m taking 390k plan, for my understanding another car park cost 50k then 10k /40k is a voucher as Fy explanation.
I feel 390k reno is more profit, because GST.

@AMY
i did signed it on last week.
quite number of ppl attend for SNP as well.
10k/40k voucher for what purpose?

i also got 1 unit block c facing swimming pool.

Just came back from ideal office. They said the rebate 10k not confirm in cash for dp or cash refund when construction completed. Anyone sign SNP already or pay dp?

Last time I got the list (photo snap) for the reno items.
90k = 50k car park, 40k reno including 10k voucher.
If not mistaken Ideal stuff said it can be use for reno or deduct on our hsing cost.

For 1st time buyer and properties RM500,000 and below, they are entitled to a 50% discount on the stamp duty for sales and purchase agreement as well as loan documentation. I am wondering One Foresta’s developer has executed on these?

When I ask on the 50% discount on the legal fee Ideal staff said only the 390k package entitled

@Maria leow
yes Ideal only bare on 50% legal fees for 390k package, but not stamp duty, as Johan said <500k will entitle 50% discount on stamp duty, but not legal fee. for more detail please check on this….

http://loanstreet.com.my/learning-centre/entry-costs-buying-property

So if you taking 390k package your legal fee would be RM3,180 and you actually only save RM1,590 from their 390 package. Good luck.

@Johan
By right the Ideal side lawyer should help buyer to submit the extra document for 1st time buyer in order to get the discount on stamp duty. If you are eligible but the lawyer dont help you request, probably you could be cheated by the lawyer or same as you pay the legal fee to lawyer but he didnt provide you full services. Good Luck.

Did anyone balloted get level 8? Feel like no peoples ballot get level 8, it’s a playground floor?

@LostSoul
If not mistaken tat 50% stamp duty is apply by ourself unless developer want to bare.
So I feel is far, now a day every 100k it will charge 3k for the legal fees, 300k = 9k is reasonable. These amount not include stamp duty yet, pls. correct me if get any better lawyer.

In Malaysia, the 2 legal fees that you have to prepare for are the S&P Agreement and Loan Agreement.

See more at: http://loanstreet.com.my/learning-centre/can-you-save-on-entry-cost-when-you-are-buying-a-house#sthash.Q7VPob7P.dpuf

I have make a calculation of the fees on spa and loan agreement refered from the webside which provided by lostsoul..

For SPA /S&P
Legal fee is calculate based on rm390,000
so for the 1st rm150,000 x1%=rm1500
Then,the balance amount is rm240,000 x 0.7%=rm1680
Total is rm3180(this is not include stamp duty)

Stamp duty is also based on rm390,000
For the 1st rm100,000×1%=rm1000
For the balance amount rm290,000×2%=rm5800
So total is rm6800 then -50% so,it is rm3400

Total up is rm6580 for the s&p. This is what ideal pay for us. We need to pay the legal fee is for loan agreement.

For loan agreement (for bank)
Legal fee is calculate based on how many % u loan from bank. For example, 90% of rm390,000 is rm 351,000.

So,for the 1st rm150,000×1%=rm1500
Then balance amount is rm201,000×0.7%=rm1407
Total is rm2907

Stamp duty is also based on how %u loan from bank.
For example is rm351,000
So just need to x0.5%=rm1755
rm1755-50%=rm877.5

So the legal fee on loan agreement is rm2907+rm877.5=rm3784.50
But we need to pay rm4500.this one I want to confirm with ideal. If they calculated also based on the government calculation.

@AMY
Developer will not bare on that, I will not conclude you are wrong because I personally havent go through the process, but I recommend you to go through the ramah pavilion post, and few of them did mention about this issue, I just tell you here what I get knew from them. And the calculation part you can refer to the link I posted or you can refer to @AMY posted calculation.

@AMY
You have done a very great job and your calculation is very detail. Once again thanks to your effort sharing this to forum. But I have doubt about the S&P agreement, so need your enlighten
a) Ideal bare 50% S&P Legal Fee only, but without stamp duty?
b) Ideal bare 100% S&P Legal fee only, but without stamp duty?
c) Ideal bare 50% S&P (Legal fee + stamp duty)?
d) As you mentioned, Ideal bare all S&P(Legal fee + stamp duty)?
So you have signed the S&P and pay all as above mentioned by you? As what I heard from them last time during CNY, they told me they only bare 50% on legal fee only pula. Seems like their term have so many grey area, and make buyer so blur pula, or maybe just me only LOL.

Based on Ideal registration form, 390k entitle … + Free Stamping Fee for SPA & Loan + …, is 50% or 100%, anyone can clarify on this?

As what I have heard from ideal staff is they will bare 100% on the s&p agreement – legal fee and stamp duty.. but the loan agreement (for bank)- legal fee and stamp duty is rm4500 which we need to pay…

I’m curious, why everyone having different story from Ideal. Why Ideal cannot give a confirm answer?

Because most of their staff not been well train. LOL

is there any unit still available ?

Just now called again ideal to clarify.. they said just bare 100% on stamping fee on s&p agreement and loan agreement.. so the rm4500 is for legal fee on s&p agreement and loan agreement.. if want to know more detail need to contact the lawyer…

@Fy
Base on your previous calculation,
SNP legal fee = 3180
SNP stamp = 3400 (after -50%)
loan legal fee = 2907
loan stamp = 877.5(after -50%)
so legal fee for SNP and loan = 3180 + 2907 =6087, how could it be 4500? lawyer giv discount? lol

Ya lo..this one also confusing me.. need to ask lawyer for the calculation lo.. xD

If legal fee for SPA and loan = RM 6087 ; they give us 50% discount, in fact, we just need to pay for RM 3043.50. They take RM 4,500 from us, why? Meanwhile, the developer should not announce they bare all of our stamp duty, in fact, they just bare 50% of our stamp duty if not mistaken.

Hi..just want to know if anyone apply housing loan from panel bank reps recommended by ideal or not through ideal? I jz received state approval and ideal told me the bankers will contact me in 2 weeks time for loan application…I wonder if I can apply the loan on my own instead…

@Jo
Yes you can apply the loan from your own banker which u feel that they can serve u well, instead of the rep from ideal.

Hi all, may I know who has signed SPA already?
I am going to sign S&P agreement this Saturday but wondering Ideal will give you a copy as reference at the same day?
They got put the facilities provided in black and white?
How long they will return us the agreement after get stamping?

Hi, I am first time to comment and would like to seek advice on the view in Block D..I am taking Block D but worry the view will be block by Setia condo….
Hence, shall me go ahead with Block D unit?
If change of unit number, is the loan needed to re-approve by bank?

@Forest
Please comeback to comment here after u sign SNP thanks.

@ABC
My personally opinion is Block C facing pool is da best, just for your reference.

I’m also thinking which block to take. Can we choose or depend on balloting?

Water pump room and amenities are located at floor 19 & 20..signed & read from snp.. car park is basement 1 to 7.. ground floor is shoplot..floor 1 facilities.. residential units until floor 32..floor 33 is sky terrance.. during sign the snp please read carefully on the reno package items.. if u r not satisfied with the quantity list please request them to print out when we saw at before.. if u r OK with it just sign it..

No copy can bring back to home.. need to stamping 1st then only return us a copy.. facilities just a few such as swimming pool,gym,kid play room,playground, yoga & tai chi area, bbq, jogging track, sky Terrance.. no floor plan to see.. just a list..

Any thoughts on which block to take? Can we choose or depend on balloting?

Depends on balloting.. u can keep ballot until u get what unit u wish to..

for current, personal opinion the balloting for C & D unit should wont left much to pick.
seems left Number 13 which so called ‘pantang’ by certain thought.
for me, im accept it.

can try ask IDEAL staff for any extra unit to ballot for it or not.
wish u luck for who wish to redraw !

@FY, thank you so much for your valuable information about the detail of S&P. I’m going to sign the agreement tomorrow, but normally how long the period of stamped SPA being returned back to us?

For those who want to withdraw epf, I think they will get spa with stamping 1st..mid of September maybe can get..becauce need to go kwsp office and withdraw money and pay to ideal.
After get the o.c, we still need to pay a legal fee to change the title name from ideal to our name.. -.-“

Hi All, thanks for your valuable information

@ABC
You may change the unit, no need re-approval but just need yours banker help you to request a letter for the changing unit. It need a week times after you re-balloted.

@Fy
Ya, you are right the reno state in snp are not clear as previous reno list that i get from Ideal. Fy are you know now market price for the legal fees to change the title name from ideal to ours name after O.C ?? I hear it will cost around 10-14k, why so expensive?

From bank loan i adding in the MRTA, so feel it’s worth for the legal fees. MRTA are not cheap it cost me more then 10k, so I include to my loan to save $$ for furniture heheee….. actually reno also can apply loan..

@LostSoul
my dear. how you calculate? we need to calculate ours legal & stamp fees folo 300k plan. Follow this website it’s will cost RM9050 so is accurate:
http://lowpartners.com/calculator.php

Need to pay 10% D/payment upon signing SNP now or wait until stamping copy (SEPT)?

Dear all, I am planning to withdraw EPF for the downpayment. It mean I can proceed to sign SnP and loan agreement with minimal payment of RM9K (legal fee and stamping fee)? Upon received stamped SnP, then only go KWSP to withdraw EPF to pay Ideal 10% downpayment? By the way, do Ideal inform anything regarding the arrangement of the car park?

@PG

we sign S&P 1st den 1st Sept they collect the Rm4.5k for stamping fee & the 10% DP.

@ first home,
u can sign 1st.
den once we paid the DP n stamping fee only can go withdraw EPF. dey nvr inform anything on the 2nd CP we purchase. mayb need wait till it complete only they will arrange.

During the 4 years construction, we have to bear the progressive interest or developer will bear it, it is not cheap also, at least another 20 to 30k for the time period of 4 years.

Just balloted unit in ideal office. Ended choose block D. Block C high floor only left those units facing lifts. Lower floor I didn’t consider as afraid will be noisy

@AMY
=.=” speechless, since I have provided the website multiple times, if you got read properly to the website I provided, and make your own manually calculation you will found out the answer you get is same as the website you provided. Just the difference is the website you provided doesnt consider 50% discount stamp duty for 1st time buyer.

Hi, For member who has signed the S&P, do you asking Ideal about the RM10,000 voucher? How is the arrangement for this voucher? Any one know about this? Many thanks.

Heard 10k will rebate from d/payment in Sept.

PG :
Heard 10k will rebate from d/payment in Sept.

For 390k.

@PG
Hi PG, many thanks….but that mean they still not make decision, and things can changed last minute, and not going stated in Agreement. How? You already sign and S&P? I think we should make the thing clear before sign. Just got bank loan offer. So not going to sign until this voucher has the clear picture. Thanks.

@yosote

dey will let u sign the voucher letter,
yet the amount already deduct in 10% DP.
did u received a letter stating that 4.5k for lawyer
balance 10% after deduct the 10k for ideal.

@Fy
Fy u get the detail reno list attach together with your snp or just our own reference?

@DeviL Gin
Hi Devil Gin,
Many thanks and noted. Will get the Loan OL first, hopefully by this week, than only proceed to developer for 2k deposit. So not yet received anything from them. Just worry about the 10K voucher, now we clear about it.

@yosote

Wlcome.. anyway which tower u get?
by sept need prepare all the amount

yet confuse total legal fee is RM9.5 k? cuz beginning we deposit 5k cheque to the legal firm yet now we still need pay 4.5k.
after 1 o 2 year another amount to transfer name.
correct me if i’m wrong

A quick check.
I understand that there is a term set in 2014 stated that there is a limit of not selling affordable title house within the first 5 years and if that is required, an appeal letter to state government is needed and buyer is restricted to listed-buyers. (Details as below)

My question is, how about after 5 years ? Is the property able to sell to free market without any restriction ?(not obligated only selling to listed-buyers)

Affordable Housing
Affordable housing is classified as houses which were initially purchased below RM400,000 on the island and RM250,000 on the mainland. Affordable housing purchased can not be sold for 5 years. Those who wish to sell during the first 5 years must appeal to the state government and can only be sold to “listed buyers”. 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 cover all past and future purchases. The balloting of houses will be subject to oversight by an auditing firm.

@DeviL Gin
5k deposit will deduct from 10% DP.

SNP signed last Saturday. Payment to prepare as below.

Down payment RM 27000.00 ( 10% RM 39000 – Voucher RM 10000 – Cheque RM 2000 )
Legal RM 4500

I wonder that RM 350K & RM 300K already ballot?

10% deposit
rm 39000 – 10k voucher = rm29000
rm29000 – rm 5000 reserved deposit = rm 24000 (as stated in letter)

legal fee: 9000
50:50 bared by developer: buyer = rm4500

@DeviL Gin
We got block C. snail gut has reply ur question. As i know the agreement will written ur name. U will be the owner. The lawyer will hold 5% as the last payment to Developer to make sure the developer responsible to any defect found. If ok, the lawyer will release the last 5%. That all i know for last payment.

There is no additional payment after 1 or 2 year to transfer the name. Will not have this practice as u mention “transfer name after 1 or 2 year”.

I paid RM2k for the booking fee. If I want to cancel, can I take back my booking fee?

There is no additional payment after 1 or 2 year to transfer the name. Will not have this practice as u mention “transfer name after 1 or 2 year”.

After the property is completed, there is a cost for MOT which is the transfer of name to your name. There is a stamping duty of 1% for first 100k, 2% for next 400k and 3% for next onward.

To complete the MOT, one will need to employ a lawyer service to complete the MOT.

The above MOT charges are not paid to developer but to government.

I have seen developers absorbing the MOT charges, but for this project, you will need to check.

how to apply? can i apply if my husband already got a house?

Affordable home is for first time buyer i guess

all family stay in own property. no enough place to stay, so want to apply affordable house. if only let first time buyer apply, really hard. for this case, i just can buy private property?

@apipoh
if u want to buy this as private project, then u should look for forest ville, which is originally block A&B of one foresta

Hi, what is the loan interest rate nowadays? 4.45%? Any bank offering lower interest rate?

Hi guys, just to ask for some opinions, is there any problem if the unit above, below or same lvl with the pump room?

@LostSoul

Which floor is the pump room?

I received Ideal letter, can proceed to sign S&P soon but 1st Sep need prepare cheque to San & Associate RM6500. izzit legal fee has been reduced from RM9000 to RM6500 already?

@Sam
RM4500

@Sam

I called Ideal and asked them about the legal fees things d, for 390k package is rm4500 then for 350k and 300k package is rm6500. How they get the amount, I am not sure d. They said is because San & Associates give them special packages then only have this price, outside is higher. Need to confirm with San & Associates about this. But there is one interesting point from them, the affordable house is not entitled for the 50% discount on stamp duty. Anyone know about this? Kindly advise.

Which loan better for 300k for 30 years?
BR 3.84% & fixed 0.7%,
BR 3.80% & fixed 0.6%, or
BR 3.65% & fixed 0.75%

@Sunny
So the RM6500 is including S&P & Loan legal fee?

@LostSoul

I think so, as the staff said need to bring a rm6.5k cheque for lawyer and also down payment cheque when signing SnP. Then I ask about the rm6.5k is fixed or will be affected by the loan amount then the staff said fix. 80% loan also 6.5k, 85% loan also 6.5k, 90% loan also 6.5k. So i think is the total amount gua.

@sunny

would u mind to share more info about rm6500?
for the case i need prepare rm4500 on 1/9/2015
coz due to developer will bare half (RM4500) for the package 390k

as u mention prepare rm4500.
is that total rm4500?
or we need pay extra rm4500 for proceed?
confuse

@chin

The RM6500 is the total amount for 350k package SNP legal fees, loan agreement legal fees and the stamp duty for SnP and loan. For 300k, the amount need to pay is RM6000. This is the special rate given by lawyer.

For your case, i think is just RM4500 for the SNP legal fees, loan and stamp duty for both. Just prepare rm4500 can d for the lawyer. Then another cheque is your down payment cheque d.

Eligible applicant if keen to buy affordable homes must act fast.

State is considering to open up some quota to non eligible applicant n if so such snap up by the investors due to such lower price.

Very soon will see private developer marketing these to non eligible buyer aggressively to clear stock as previously eligible applicant is slow to accept offer or have difficulties in obtaining loan.

300 k is inclusive of car park? How bout the finishes?

@Alfred
300k just 1 carpark, i think just empty unit with normal tiles.

Change my mind d not going to buy this propety d cos hv to wait for 4 years to complete 2019 too long story

Just got the “tawaran berjaya” notice from gov website.
Am I supposed to wait for letter/call from developer, or can call them directly?
From the comments above, it seems the balloting is done already? Wonder still got good units left…

@bamboo

you need to wait for the state government letter and also ideal offer letter then only proceed. You should receive very soon d. you call them, they will also ask you to wait for the letter de.

Now is the bad timing to buy house? I heard many ppl said loan interest will increase very high. Since our riggit now drop like hell.. anyone think of this ? Any suggest?

If RM drop, you still want to hold cash?

@Polly will
Thanks. I got what u mean. Just budget of mine hard to survive with high interest.

Went and look at their show units. They are utilizing optical illusion to make the reno package more attractive. The w/o reno show unit is dull looking and what you see is what you get… totally empty, with some sad looking water basins. The renovated one, they include furniture, lighting, bed, etc., which is NOT included in the reno package… but looks really nice.
Still got quite a lot units left but as someone said, the top floors for block C only facing lift units left. Asked to see the table that shows which units are taken and which are not, but they say don’t have

Anyone take Affin bank loan? 4.4% seems like very attractive compare with others.

is there any unit still available ?

@celine lim

Block C top few levels got only lift facing units left. Lower levels still have some to choose from. Block D have more leftover units.

Did anyone already submit the legal fee to ideal?? For rm390k is rm 4500 legal fee…

Just signed S&P last week. Legal feel will be collected from 1/9/15 onwards. For those wishing to withdraw EPF for 10% down payment, you can be get back your stamped S&P and go to KWSP to withdraw your money. You have 3 weeks period from the date of stamping to pay cheque to Ideal.

Each tower got 10 lifts, there are 5 lifts between unit 3 & 4 and another 5 lifts between unit 7&8. Water pump room is located at level 20. The facilities mentioned in S&P got swimming pool, children playground, BBQ area, community hall, gym room, kids room, dance room, jogging track, outdoor Yoga, sky terrace and guide house.

The bank loan legal fee and stamp duty portion is not paid to the bank but to our lawyer instead?

@bamboo
Yes. You can pay directly to San at Northem Tower (10th floor) or Ideal office.

@Fy

paid the legal fee & 10% already.
how bout u?

guys,
tomorrow will go n pay for 10%.
hope to see the progress soon

Is there a time limit to secure a bank loan after paying the booking fee? I was informed that the loan is approved, but after 3 weeks paying the booking fee, the bank is still saying the letter offer is in progress…

Since 2 blocks changed to condo, then how many units are there in this affordable blocks???

FREE 1 years maintenance fee from CCC..

Yeah, save RM1452.

Commercial title or residential title? Which one better if compare with Forest Ville?

who ever pay 10% down payment d ?
so that entitle for 1 year FREE after CCC

For those EPF withdrawers, got entitle for free maintenance fee?

Hey guys, i heard from public that Ideal is give back deposit to purchaser not going to sold as Affordable house already. is that real? anyone got answer>?

Not going to sold???but we had signed the snp…

sign snp but already stamped?

Hi Goh, don’t worry for One Foresta project. It is impossible to change plan from affordable house scheme as state government will not let it happen.

I believe many One Foresta buyers already signed the S&P and paid the 10% down payment.
May be what you hear is tower A & B have changed to Forestville earlier.

GOH :
Hey guys, i heard from public that Ideal is give back deposit to purchaser not going to sold as Affordable house already. is that real? anyone got answer>?

Which public do u mean? please present the facts. TQ

@Mars

Did you call Ideal and found out about this?

@GOH
Just signed S&P today… your news is inaccurate

Anyone balloted block D?

I balloted block D

so now is got refund or no refund back? Still can buy?

I got the call from Ideal this morning. They said they going to delay or cancel the Tower D. We either can cancel(fully refund) or move to Tower C left over units….. wth…. Does anyone receive the same call?

Wah… no wo… i also balloted Block D.

I call ideal ask… they said is delay in stamping

@Nat
For Tower C this is good news or bad news ??

hmm… Ideal asks to wait for two weeks and wait for the call to go Ideal office to pick a new unit or cancel the booking if I don’t like Tower C, but for sure construction for Tower D will be delay…
So we just wait for further news lo.. Nothing we can do now..

How come the info I get is different from @Meh Meh??

Hi everyone i just go to Ideal office pay the down payment & i was balloted Block D also. The office girl ask me wan change to Tower C or not. She say Tower C now still got 1xx unit available & pending from government approval. And Tower C will 1st to start construction.

Anyone got any idea view of Tower C? I just search to Google Map, just worry in front of Tower C will build a new property in future.

So, wanna wait or change to tower C?? I personally prefer tower D la…..

I already paid my legal to Ideal more than a week, nobody contact me for the stamping yet. Normally took how many days to done the stamping?

As usual everyone get different answer from ideal…. May be this is their tactic to sell off all the remaining units in Tower c

@Meh Meh
Ya, i agree. I think thy wan push out all unit of Tower C 1st.

@Nat
I also prefer Tower D. I worry infront Tower C will build a property and block the view in future….

so complicated this foresta! never see ramah so complicated also.

So strange… I saw quite a number of Forestville units taken up… why no one wants Foresta?

Really tower D will be delayed or cancelled? I purchased tower C, feeling that Ideal may be over estimated the sales of affordable house. Inititial plan is 4 blocks complied of 2685 units, but market demand cannot absorb this huge numbers of units. Finally only become one block of affordable house which is tower C. May be demands is huge but those eligible as well as affordable buyers are limited. Other affordable projects like Ramah may be not facing this kind of problem because their units only few hundreds.

@Saw

According to Ideal sale department staff, tower D will be delayed, not cancelled. Tower C will not be affected. Just hope them fast fast stamp the SnP for tower c buyers to secure everything.

I also worry Ideal will drag the date for stamping because so many uncertainties for the project.

I went Ideal yesterday. I saw some ppl move from Tower D to Tower C. Tower C just left the “unwanted” units, like unit near to the lifts, 13A units or very low floor units…. =.=||||
They told me they will clear out 100++ units for those not eligible applicant by 10 OCT and will inform Tower D owner to choose.
I really don’t want to change. Anyone have the same thoughts with me?
I think this is their dirty tactic to fill up Tower C units… Or economy really so bad??
I’ve signed SNP last months… Ideal staff told me if I wanna withdraw the unit, I might need to bear part of the legal fee ~RM700(But not confirm because everything is not settle down yet).
Feel disappointed…

jia lat this foresta..

@Saw
ya, feel disappointed… But in truth, we cant all blame to developer. Bcas it is affordable house control by state gov & now bank quite tight also. If it was not control by state gov, i believe ths project alrdy sold out in early d…

I feel Ideal also have their difficulty to sell block D units. Only few units have been taken up, how dare they still continue to build up the building? Therefore they have to ask the buyers moved to block C. But feel that they should solve the problem to be fair to block D buyers, like giving special discount if buyers agreed to move to block C or free upgrade better tiles like RM390K package.

Was at ideal office just now… change to block C.

Hi to all , I change to Block C as well . Actually I feel the reason to cancel or delay block D not what developer wish to .. It’s the matter the house should not consider affordable as not all who success to get state approval afford to buy , those manage to buy user cannot get approval .. I disagree that they want to push all Block C which left over with ” not that nice unit ” , actually those left over was due to either loan cannot approved or some not even process for loan application , I manage to have nice unit as I directly attend to Ideal once I receive their call .. The area there is quite high site at hill area , I personally went to c the site , I think won’t have any more nearby new project going on , as the area there is quite fully occupied with existing or new project already

Hi, is there got any changes on the facilities due to the delay of Block D? Any impact to maintenance fee? Heard that Ideal only will take the S&P to stamp from 1/10/15.

@leefgal
which floor u able to get from ideal after change to C?

ive been told that stamping will start on middle of Oct/2015
it might takes up 2 weeks time to roll here n there before on buyers’ hand.

i dint receive any documentation even paid 10% before 1/10/2015
just a photocopy of cheque receipt
hope still apply ‘free 1 year maintenance fee after ccc’ as in text previously

@saw
Didn’t hear any news from ideal regarding changes on facilities and maintenance

I change to Block C cause able to get a nice unit

I got Block D and I personally preferred Block D. I could not get a unit on Block C that I like, so Ideal ask me to wait til 10 Oct. If by that time, I still could not get a unit I want, then full refund. Forgot to ask about legal fees though.
Lost a little confidence in this project, not sure if I should continue to pursue.

I think Ideal will wait for state government arrangement in new scheme of affordable house. Coming soon those other states applicants working in Penang for ONLY 2 years can easily get approval from state to get an affordable house in Penang, they just need to continue work in Penang for another 3 years after obtained an affordable house.
It will definitely attract more potential buyers for affordable house in Penang since currently many Penangites not able to obtain a bank loan.

@Saw

If that happened then those penang people wishing to get an affordable house will have to compete with others d. what a sad case. Those who really want to buy affordable house need to act fast d lor.

Yup. I read from today newspaper. Previously those other states talents need to work in Penang at least 5 years only can apply for Penang affordable home, but now only 2 years requirement.
Actually I heard many affordable house projects also hard to sell their units due to high loan reject rate. There got huge demands but most people cannot afford the price of “affordable” house.
If more buyers coming in, may be Block D no need to delay already.

@Saw

Luckily I didn’t choose for Ideal One Foresta, too many uncertainties of Ideal in this project.
Looks like is a failed project of Ideal of over estimated market demands.

Hi, is it true about the news where talents from other states can now apply for Affordable Homes? Gosh, need to check today’s newspapers d, but I certainly don’t like this at all.

@ Danny

Actually One Foresta not yet consider a failure, we still happy with block C units. Block C now almost fully occupied from total around 680 units. Just imagine other affordable house project also only few hundreds but still got a lot of available units.

What I know from Ideal is almost 50% of buyers who have made a booking end up fail to get a bank loan.

@ Mars
I am also one of the owner at block C and feel very satisfied with my unit. Actually I am not so prefer to stay at Bayan Lepas area, feeling quite remote from town area but the surrounding environment of One Foresta where it close to natural is the lifestyle I am looking at so far, feeling relax after come back from work at town area.
I also feel the shop lots at Setia-Triange which is just opposite to One Foresta will brighten the area there.

@ penang_kia
you can refer to http://www.kwongwah.com.my/?p=22155 for the latest news but is Chinese newspaper.

any block C owners get their stamping done?

I just update with IDeal office girl. She say Maintenance fee & facilities all was no changed. S&P will collect from end of Oct….

I’m having problem getting approval for change unit from my banker. Seems reluctant to process for me since I don’t want to buy MRTA from her. Make it sound like the approval is dependent on me buying the MRTA from her.

Anything I can do?

I also chg unit from Tower D to Tower C. And banker say no problem, just ned a form from developer can d. Those alrdy chg unit to Tower C will arrange for sign a form on next week start. Hope everythg will be ok….

@Lek

I also called Ideal today and the staff told me that the Snp will take to stamp in the middle of Octobe r then return to us in the end of October. Hopefully they can faster settle it. The four years time for completion is count on the date it is stamped.

For those need to withdraw EPF, stamped SPA can be received earlier?

I really regret applying loan from this lady banker from Public bank. My unit change already inform her and submit new booking form to her for 2 weeks already. Until now no respond from her. Msg don’t want to reply. Pening

Hi meh meh,

Which female banker from public bank?
Before I was applied loan from female banker from public bank.. but her service is good..she got replied me even I whatapps her during weekend..don’t know same people or not…

HI FY
Her service ok until I reject her told her I don’t want to buy MRTA from her… then respond very slow… wait wait n wait

Latest new announced by Pg State. 30% of affordable homes open to the public thus will see many investors buying when the units are open for offer. Anything below 400k with condo facilities is rare in Bayan Lepas.

As said by Pg State, they allow it to help developers to fill up the available units.

Today is middle of OCT. I call Ideal office to check out is the SNP already stamp? One girl reply that all the sales person is gone out, she don’t know what is the status of the SNP….she ask me call back in few day to try luck.

Any one get any latest news regrading the SNP is already stamp or not?

@Weird lah

I call to San & Associates regarding the stamping of snp, they say will send to stamp this week or next week as per requested by Ideal, but today is Friday d, so most probably is next week gua. Need to keep on follow up de, abo any changes we also dont know. Reading other project post, make me feel worry for the affordable project.

Today is 21st of Oct, anyone know the S&P already get stamped?

Anyone know what happened to One Foresta? I just received SMS from Ideal, all deposit and cheques will be refunded by 31/10/2015. Project cancelled?

@Ken

Not yet, I called Ideal then they said the stamping will extend to 1st of November due to their director didn’t sign yet then the snp cannot send to stamped. I expressed my unsatisfactory in the delay of snp signing but the sale people reply with very lansi tone. This make me more unsatisfied. Plan to write in to complain about the staff d, had enough with their attitude.

They are not returning the 10% and balance, the bank in means they will bank in the cheques to their company and the amount will be deducted from our current account.

@Ken
R u serious?
I jz received a call frm Ideal office girl request me to re-sign a agreement, regarding Twr D unit chg to Twr C unit. Ur unit is Twr C or Twr D?

My unit is Tower C (RM350K) facing school. I will call to Ideal later to clarify.

The SMS I received as below:
“Dear One Foresta buyers, pls be informed that we will bank in your deposit and bal 10% cheques on 30/10/15 (Fri). ”

I thought they refund us the money?

Hi, I have just clarified with Ideal. What mentioned by Sunny is correct. Sorry for my misunderstanding, so no more worry. However really curious why they can bank in our cheques even the S&P haven’t get stamped.

I jz go to re-sign the agreement. Ideal office girl told me, our SPA will stamped by ths few week. We will get the SPA by Nov. Thy will info us to collect after done stamping.

@Sunny
I totally agree with you Sunny. Ideal stuff mostly is mostly Lansi one.

@Lek

When I signed my snp, the also say few weeks later can get back the stamped copy, but now seems like maybe need few months instead. The Ideal ppl say is their director do not sign yet. This make me more frustrated, as inside the snp it is indicated the construction period is 4 years, this 4 years will count on the date the snp is stamped, they drag longer than we have to wait longer for the house to complete. Maybe by our house complete, other affordable house owner already celebrate 1 year anniversary for staying at their house d.

Sometime, don’t too believe in what Ideal staff say, believe to certain percentage can d.

@Ken
actually we can sue them for banking in our $$ but have not sign SPA. there is a clause stating that once we sign SPA only pay 10% at the same time. so by the time we pay them full 10% that date suppose to be our SPA date.

I saw Ideal facebook, One Foresta site progress is undergoing piling works already. You can go to their facebook to check for the latest update of site progress. I feel they need the cash for the following stage already. However, they should not just only drag the stamping date but on the other hand bank in our money to their account. May be they need to see the sales of Tower A & B as well as the uncertainties or Tower D.

Does One Foresta was open for public for sale? I saw in market, got property agent was advertising it.

@ Lek
Really? It is for Tower D?
Recently many affordable house projects can open for sale to Public due to state government agreed to give 30% quota to public buyers. You can go Tesco to find it out, Tripinacle from Aspen group open for sale at RM470K (20% higher than market price of affordable house).

@Mars
Yup, i saw agent was advertising 398K only with 2 car park. Here’s the info = =”

Yes, agent selling 30% open to public. Soon all will be bought by the rich again if eligible buyers keep rejecting offer.

Next is State will only offer 700sq.ft units but at cheaper price. 700sq.ft is definitely too small.

@Lek
Eh? The 398k is the price open to public? I tot it’s supposed to be starting from 450k? And those are 1000 sqft house… so, this meant the 900 sqft (Blk C & D) is open to public as well?

I just confirmed with my colleague, her agent also recommended her this project. Price is below RM400K and the agent told her this one 30% quota from state government.

@bamboo

The one @Penang referring is tower C and D, tower A and B is starting from 450k. previously the state government already allowed the developer to open 30% to public. So the developer now can sell tower C and D to public. No wonder the developer previously say tower D construction will be delayed, maybe they want to reserve the whole tower D for public.

Dear all
