Setia Eco Cascadia

[IsSuperTenere]

thanks bro.. i will wait maybe one week to see if better offer comes in. OCBC is BLR-2.4% (i.e 4.2% at todays BLR), i think this is standard for all banks. However, take note that OCBC banker mentioned to me their first 3 years interest is 4.5% flat, which means that... if i get my keys early (say , after 2 years), i will have to fork out 4.5% interest for the remaining 1 year (as Setia only pays my interest during construction). I believe the RHB girl also told me about that. You better have a longer chat with AMbank officer and ask some more clarification questions. I believe the 4 banks i spoke to (OCBC, Maybank (but not on panel), Public, , CIMB) all said their rate is BLR-2.4%, whereas the only one offering me better is RHB at BLR-2.45%, but subject to approval. I not sure about RHB case, the banker is not the talkative sort, wonder if she fed me wrong info. anyway i really want to see RHB offer, esp as their branch is at austin heights, just 4 km drive away.

what about you? still confirmed going down this week?

Yup. If get key earlier than 3 yrs I hv to fork out the 4.5% interest. However after 3 yrs my BLR rate already approved is -2.45%
i will call OCBC tomorrow if my loan approved or ever gonna be approve. Or else I jz stick with AMBANK. I let u know if I'm coming in this week.

Love reading all your posts. Alwayslook forward to them every day..... but it has been quiet the last few days.. every one is busy ?

 

[Rocker]

currently all are waiting for bank loan to process....Nothing to update yet.

 

[LamCH]

Bank loan approved. signed agreement with developer lawyer. Even my DCI was cleared. Everything is smooth sailing.
Just wondering, anybody has any idea about the size of swimming pool and progress of 1st phrase? Did not have the change to meet SEC sales to visit the site as I was at their office quite late.

Congrats LamCH.

Congrats and indeed a smooth sailing.. I believe the pool size should be identical to Foresta, estimated 10mx26m. The pool house details has not clearly stated in your SPA ,right?

congrats Lamch. loans are coming in quick now. i will wait another few days, if no news from rhb or others i will sign with ocbc, seems all the same rate anyway.

actually , have quite a lot of questions. the size of swimming pool is one. i remember the SPA has the plan of the piece of land, my lot unit, also the house plan. but swimming pool just stated one line only - no specs.

another is, since strata titled and all the facade is supposed to look the same, does it mean that every five years, the painting of all external facade of the houses for each precinct will be done uniformly for all and expended from the sinking fund? any one enquired on the above?

 

[LamCH]

Will ask sec sales next week. Just read some where in this forum that the proposed lrt wiill have a station in tmn Daya.

 

[Rocker]

Congrats! LamCH! Yeah saw it too, asked the sales rep. but was told they heard lots of rumours but unsure the actual location. It tmn daya near to sec or mt austin nearer?

from shctaw's posts, there may be TWO rts near us in future . depending on exact location, i foresee AH will be nearer, since if AH RTS station indeed comes, i can only see it near to sunway college? from SEC to AH / sunway college is actually very near. (4 km). you have to drive by the back way along jp perdana and cut into jln mutiara emas utama.

[rosnyus]

Signed s&p and loan agreement this noon already. Now need to pay for state consent. What is the cheapest way to transfer to the lawyer's account? Btw, when are they likely to ask for the next 10%?

 

[LamCH]

I am surprised that there are so much happenings plan for the future. Pls keep us informed, bro malpaso.
Best is to buy a MYR banker's draft. At least you have a record. I opened a saving and fd acc in JB. Sometimest I change sgd in sg and deposite in my JB saving acc.
The first payment is the different between your loan and the list price.
