Congrats on yr booking...:-))
Thanks Spidey. Haha, this is interesting, so have I been taken for a ride? It would be good to clarify this. Can those who bought their property thru sub-sale share with us so that we all can learn from this - do buyers need to pay the agent's fee and if so, how much? ..........or is this only applicable to foreigners buyiing property?
You meant you book a unit at NI ?
How much does it cost you ?..
Can you also advice what bank did you finance with and how many % loan ?

Yup, i need some clarifications on this as well..
I paid them a visit this morning. The property is being marketed in Singapore by the real estate agency HSR. They were taking a refundable deposit of SGD 3,000. This would lock in the unit and price up until their full launch in March. If you still decided to go forward at that time, you would pay 10%, less 3000.
They have studios (~700k), 1 br (~1M), 2br (~1.4M), 3 br (~1.8M). The sizes vary a lot. 3 brs go up to 1900 sft but has an oversized balcony, around 450 sft. Most 2 bedroooms are park facing. There is not much of a price differential even if it is Marina view vs. Park view (950-1000 psf) and they told me that this was to incentivize the early buyers. They paid for the State Levy and legal fee but NOT the stamp duty, around 3%. They have launched only one tower.
Overall, the sales folks were very cordial but not knowledgeable. The saleslady told me that Traders Hotel at PH was up and runningand also recommended that I go stay there to get a feel for the place. There was nothing yet that convinced me that the quality of interiors would be better than those of Imperia - they did not have a lot of details, other than the fact that the will include floorings, wardrobes, and kitchen (other than refrigerator and washer/dryer). Perhaps, this will be clear during the full launch.
They had locked in 9 units yesterday and 2 more while I was there this morning.
In a nutshell, I am not convinced of the 20% odd premium over Imperia, yet. The only attractive part was the SGD 3,000 refundable option that would lock in your unit and price until March.
I was there yesterday evening, indeed their $3000 refundable deposit is attractive but the price is not convincing. All the units have different sizes, very confusing (Example: Some 1br unit on high floor is cheaper than the lower floor). In addition, the salesman was not knowledgeable about Puteri Habour. Maybe shld ask him to join this forum or advise him to drive around PH.
Before I left, heard that 16 units have been locked.
I was wondering how many units will be taken up when the official launching.
Hi Spidey
From causeway to danga bay direction , go to Tune hotel on the left and straight u can see see the coastal highway . Have fun driving there as not much cars , but at night its a bit scary ! coz no lights and a pitch of darkness when u look at yr mirrors!
U can exit B. Indah to go Jusco , or another exit to HH .

erm , for msia properties , why buy from SG ? usually the currency rate is not so gd . no costs savings ....
only save the hassle to commute to msia .
Hi bros, from what I was told by my RE agent when I rented my HH house; in Johor the buyer for sub-sale property pays 1% agent fee and the seller pays 2%; whilst in Klang Valley, the seller pays 3% and the buyer doesn't have to pay.
SPA / S&P - Sales & Purchase Agreement... there is a lawyer's fee to pay for preparation of SPA/S&P. The SPA stamping is another fee to pay as well.
Hi LGLab, I bought a unit in NI P8 too; took my bank loan with RHB and the package is the best I've seen so far, 85& loan at BLR-2.5% for the whole tenure and I managed to get 31 years loan. If you want, I can PM you the lady who handled my RHB loan.
eh RHB also can ? my sales told me only a few banks are tie up with them.
So she trying UOB, Maybank , HLB and Public bank for me ...
thank u , finally .... its a big step for me .....
thanks to all the bros and sis , who has helped me in any way to purchase a msia house ; )
Hi lastresort, to get to 2nd link using coastal highway from HH, do you turn right at the main guardhouse, instead of left towards Jusco? The sign in front of the T-junction says Gelang Patah, which I guess should be able to lead us to EL, but I haven't tried that road yet.
Asumming we turn right, are there signages to follow all the way to Mydin, EL and then Tuas 2nd link? Thanks.
I spoke with 2 agents before and they said buyer has to pay 1%.. I read from some news article also confirming that as well...
