I'm a purchaser of Lagoon Perdana in Bandar Sunway. I purchased a unit
in Block 8, three to four years ago. This are the final few blocks due
for completion. Until now, it is still pending for completion. I called Talam Corporation Berhad regarding this matter and was attended by a very rude and bad-mannered lady from the customer service deparment. I was told by her that there are some major problems between the Developer and the Sub-cons which causes the delay of Block 8 and few more other blocks.
The worst part is, it's not any of the purchaser's fault but due to the fact that many of us are taking a loan from the bank and we are paying the monthly interest for nothing. I've checked the S & P and it is stated there - completion of the unit will take 3 years from the date of purchase. Mine has already exceeded 3 years coz i bought it on the 27th of January 2002.
According to the sales person when I bought my unit, I was told that the apartment will be completed by year 2002 December. It has been dragged on until now. On numerous occasions, I called to get an explanation from the developer, and again I was told that they are having some problems with the shortage of workers.
I accepted their clarification with deep doubt that it will be completed by March 2003 and true enough it did not. When I called them again , they told me completion has been delayed to June 2003, but now it's already March 2005. I'm in the dark now. I hope someone can tell me what can i do next. It’s a heavy burden to pay monthly interest for no cause. It's has been an
expensive lesson for me, definitely.
In addition to that, the workmanship is really bad. A relative of mine has also bought a unit and her complains of poor labor are endless. Complains such as tiles were not cemented properly, poor finishing on the staircase level, living hall, rooms, wall and etc. I personally went to view other blocks and noticed that there are wall cracks on the building itself. There were also water stain marks on the wall and paint peeling on the exterior of the building. Poor and shabby parking lots and bad security were one complain too many.
I’m not the only buyer having to go through this. In fact, the whole few blocks of delayed completion are at their wits end. Someone who has dealt with these issues, please provide your assistance. Please let me know what can i do? or who can i write the complain to?
Thanks.
