The SS14 residents do have a valid point. In Singapore where I work and live, the nearer the house is to the train station the higher price it fetches. Even the sounds of the trains chugging along the track every 10-15mins is "music" to the ears!! Guess Malaysians value their peace and privacy much more. :cool:

I am equally convinced with what my property agent friend said about the price increase. It is a well known fact that wherever there is infrastructure development like LRT, roads and highways, airports etc. the price of real estate in and around these places rise sharply.
Its true Chua, even my relatives and friends were sceptical and said negative things like the project might get abandoned, small time developer (Titijaya), "old" area unlike Mont Kiara and many other bad comments. Well all those people have gone into hiding! They must be regretting secretly they didnt take the opportunity. We Casa Tiara owners are having a laugh :rolleyes: now and once the LRT line is up and running we will be laughing even louder!! :D

Casa Tiara/Tiaraville is one of the best investment...we MADE it!

[Couch Hero]

Hi all,

I'm thinking of getting broadband for my unit, and have shortlisted P1 WIMAX and Streamyx. Been doing research but opinions on which service provider is better vary greatly depending on the person and location.

Tried to check whether SentralFon covers Casa Tiara but haven't received any reply to my e-mail.

For forumers who stay at Casa Tiara and uses either P1 WIMAX or Streamyx, any feedback on their speed, reliability etc?

Thanks.

Hi all,

just to confirm, is the yellow bus still in operation from carrefour to monash? Any one know the schedule or how regular it runs?

The carrefour bus stop is along Jalan Kemajuan Subang, rite? I am wondering how to identify the bus, is there a number label?

Thanks!Yellow bus #66 is the one that you are looking for. The only label will be a #66.

It is being suggested that the LRT trains will be filled up by the time they leave Subang Jaya station.

Any house owner in Casa Tiara Block A had installed the ASTRO? if yes, can give some advice where to place the disc?

[Nick2525]

Linus, there is no need to install a satelite dish. Your unit has an Astro point outlet on the wall. Checkout your unit.

According to this article, we are not only getting the LRT station. We are getting all the bells and whistles. Wow! The whole place is due to be transformed! Maybe, getting a 2nd unit is beginning to look good. Anyone selling a studio unit?

That's great news to start the year off! :D Besides the obvious benefit of our apartments' tremendous rise in prices, this plan to make the area the city centre is a good boost to all residents. What is lacking now is a focal point, in a large and established township like Subang Jaya. By using the high traffic expected from the new LRT line merging with the KTM, its smart sense to turn the idle and barren land to accomodate new facilities so that residents can come to shop, eat, work, do business etc. It will definitely give new life in an orderly and planned manner and add bustle and activity to this place.
Good luck to your studio buying, Chua!

[vindrey]

Hi, I've been reading the pages and couldn't help wondering if e-Tiara might be a 'lower' end property compared to Casa Tiara?

A friend of mine has offered to sell me his unit in e-Tiara for RM300k (2r/2b). It has just been tenanted fetching a monthly RM1600. Properties in Subang have always been escalating but would this be a good time to buy? With the economy heading downwards, would the price drop further?

Any comment/views is much appreciated.

A quick question to all, why are there so many middle-eastern students staying at casa tiara and e-tiara?

TaugehYou have to calculate the price per sq ft. When seller exceed demand, price will drop. Full impact of crisis is still not yet felt.

There are also a lot of African black male staying in Casa Tiara.

[leesg123]

Should the resident be concerned about the security? Where are those students studying? not racist, but i think they looked kinda fierce.

[Couch Hero]

Aiyoh! The lifts stopped working at 5pm today. I wonder what happened? I saw a few residents huffing and puffing as they climb the stairs. Luckily, I live in one of the lower floors.

[BMG68]

Hi all,

I am a newcomer to this forum.
I am very keen in this tiaraville/ casa tiara.
I missed the launch.
Will there be any new launch ?

[CS Chua]

Everything is sold out. No more new launches here but there are lots of units for sale in the secondary market. Take a walk there and you will see the sales agents sitting there. I think SR has some unsold units but at higher prices.

[NiteOwl]

Is the entrance to Casa Tiara (from Carrefour) to be improved? It was so narrow and always blacked by lorry at the new shopping complex there ...

[BMG68]

Greetings friends,


Previous postings say that the workmanship is bad, roof collapsing, pipe leakage. Are these isolated cases or applies to majority units,'

Anyway, what would be the price range like if I were to buy a unit here ?
A two room unit to be exact.
The agents are quoating some where between 280K to 300 K.
Is this justified ?
How can I monitor these prices as I am not from USJ?

[CS Chua]

My unit was reasonably well-built. Only minor defects. So, not every unit was bad.

When it was launched, it was at around $288 psf. I think they are trying to make a 30% profit which will be about $374.40 psf. You will have to decide at what price you are willing to pay. SR and Empire were selling it at $300 psf and above if my memory serves me well. The smaller units were close to $340 psf. If you are going for rental, go for studio units. They are easier to rent out.

[BMG68]

Greetings,

Any owners has any unit ranging from RM 250 to RM300 K to sell.
I desperately need 1 at that area.

[smal potato]

dear all,

i just don't understand why you guys never mention anything about the super ridiculous high quit rent for this casatiara apartment. RM660+ for a year!!!!!

this is just unacceptable!

I dont own this property but I believe had warn sometime earlier on that this is a service apartment and the related consequences. If only you had checked out this thread thoroughly.

[endrea]

There are also a lot of African black male staying in Casa Tiara.


Yeah these Middle East and African 'students' are always rowdy and creating noise pollution into wee hours of the morning. Of late, I've been hearing loud 'bangs' (explosion like) and I can never understand why there isn't any guards doing their rounds. And these very same ppl leave their rubbish lying around the poolside, and destroyed a few of the pool deck chairs as well. Even the maintenance cleaners complaint about them.

There should be stricter rules imposed especially regarding the usage of the swimming pool after 10pm.

[CS Chua]

I received a letter recently from the developer regarding a dialogue meeting between them and the owners of Casa Tiara on the 25th April at 2 pm. I hope the owners can make it to ask about the JV management committee. I am out of the country this Saturday otherwise I would like to be there.

If not careful, and allow to continue,say bye bye to your property value...I went to check this out and it is true..real tenants will be frightened by these bored so-called students,not sureif they are really here to study...I saw a few ladies frighten look when they enlight from the taxi..very rowdy at night.

[jefflimwh]

I wonder whose Idea is it, renting out to Middle East and African students? Does the owner SCREEN their TENANTS? Geez...

Please, to owners who rent their units to Foreign student who read this, don't make Tiaraville another "SUNWAY RIDZUAN". To ensure our property value don't drop please PROTECT the image of Tiaraville.

Anyway, I'm owner of C-20-03 which happened to be a Real Estate agent (worked under E(3)1086) as well... AND I OBJECT RENTING TO FOREIGN STUDENTS... SAY NO TO THEM!!!

Faxed a complaint letter to Casa Tiara Management this morning as I've had enough of rowdy foreign neighbours on my floor!

Imagine yourself having a neighbour who constantly have about 20 visitors walking in and out of the unit throughout the night and sometimes it goes up to even 5am on week nights. Worse still is the fact that there are substance abuses going on.

Hope that the Management will do something fast before Police raid the place.

Any feedback from the Management? :D

Frankly speaking ... what do you expect from the Management? Chasing out all those rowdy foreign neighbours on your floor ? Issue warning letter(s) to them? :cool:

All these problems are caused by the owner who use his/her unit as an investment ... so they do not care who are the people renting their unit as along as they got the rental every month ...

I just can't imagine if a family with young daughters and the neighbours are a group of black african guys ("no discrimination here") .... can this family sleep well at night ..... !!!!! :(

To those house owners who want to rent their units, please choose your tenants carefully ... do not just depend on the agent, at least must know who r your tenants ... if prefer to rent your unit to foreigners, there are others foreigners to choose .... Korean, Japanese .... not necessary those rowdy black african guys/gals .... (again, no discrimination here, those people just give us such feeling ... "trouble makers").


I am sorry if this post have offended you ....

Me and my wife thought that this was the ebst property to invest.
But now I am having a second thought.

You guys better do something to prevent further damage to the property value.

[CS Chua]

I have been getting calls from agents about selling my unit. Apparently there has been a rush in demand for properties in SS16. Something to do with the old airport. The first few calls were OK but after awhile, it gets irritating as some of the calls come in at night. Anyhow, it is better than having bad news.

[waltzgirl]

Does anyone has anything to say about the fact that these condos near carrefour(tiaraville etc) are located near a mosque and komuter? Am wondering whether the azan is loud and the potential health hazard from staying near high power running the komuter. Location is great, but my reservation are those. Would appreciate any comments.

Well, the power lines are far enough not to cause any concern. The komuter station is a big plus factor which contributes to Tiaraville's great location. And personally, the mosque is not near enough. Most of the time, the units are airconditioned and all the windows closed, so it is rather quiet.

However I cannot say the same thing about the Empire and SR. Both are very near Federal Highway and much nearer to the mosque.

[vindrey]

anyone has any idea what was the minutes of new management meeting that has just recently concluded? Is there is a change in the security and also will there be any upgrade on CT's "fountain area"? SA's lobby looks impressive compared to CT. Any comments on this?

[CS Chua]

Recently we were sent notices to pay for a lot of stuff like insurances for the public areas and our windows. We called them to challenge the legality of these stuff but the usual reply was given ... we do not know...we are just doing what our manager asked us to do.

We already paid a sinking fund and a maintenance fund. What should we pay for these extras? If it is needed, why can't it be taken from the maintenance fund? At this rate, they can keep adding things outside the monthly maintenance fund and we will be paying more and more every year.

[John.P]

Hello everyone,

Seems kinda of quiet here, no updates??? Well, I was overseas for a long while and returned recently to Casa Tiara and found some changes...some good, some bad and some surprising!
Firstly I found a letter from the so-called new residents'-run Management Committee informing of their formation and highlighting their intentions and calling for prompt payment of monies from residents. I can't recall when this MC was formed much less who these people are! It was signed by a Mr Yeo and he claims that they took over from the developer effective Oct 1 2009.
Surprise, surprise....
They have erected a glass enclosure at the lift lobbies. I wonder what for...another set of access cards? I dont think that is going to stop those tenants/students now harassing residents to "use' their cards to help them gain entry to the floors by the lift. In my view, placing a security guard with a counter at the lift lobby to screen people would be better. In other words, people without access cards and without proof of residence/tenancy will not be allowed thru the glass enclosures.
I asked the new Managing agent, if they could put additional tables and chairs at the swimming pool area. For 600 units, the few paltry deck chairs are totally insufficient. Apparently there was damage and theft of some chairs and tables previously and part of the blame has been put on the security guards incompetence. I wonder what is the solution now.
The entrance to the condo is a shame. the concrete is terribly stained, the fountain is dirty and it is poorly maintained. One of my guests commented negatively about it.
They finally put up a signage for the condo, but it seems pathetic.
Has anyone got any other updates or views to share?

[CS Chua]

I am not aware of this Mr Yeo and neither have I received such letter.

I was there yesterday and noted the glass enclosure. I have seen it at my friend's condo in Mt Kiara. It is good because nobody can get close to the lift and "pop in." Without the key card, one cannot go through the glass door and to get out, there is a button. I will prefer this method to a security guard.

[John.P]

Chua, this glass enclosure uses the same entry method ie. access card or key as it is presently used now to access the lifts to the required floors. Pls correct me if I am wrong. What is happening now is, many of the so-called "tenants" are moving about in the condo WITHOUT access cards. So when they get to the lift, they wait around for residents holding the access cards and start harassing them to tap their cards in the lift reader so that these "tenants" can get to their floors. Won't this be happening again even with the glass enclosures which requires you to use an access card.
They will wait around again outside the glass enclosures hoping to catch a resident with an access card and start their harassing once more. At end of the day the security issue is still not settled. With a guard stationed outside the glass enclosure, every person entering the glass enclosure will be monitored and only those with authorised access cards will get thru. No more harassment and unknown people entering by using other people's access cards.
The letter was deposited at the front door not in the letterbox. They have even appointed a Managing Agent, ie Property management company to run the condo. Apparently all these has taken place without much notice to the residents. Who are the people on this committee?

[CS Chua]

In a way you are right. If these unauthorised people want to, they can and will hand around the glass door. And this is where the residents should stand up for themselves. If we the residents cannot uphold security ourselves, why are we passing on the blame to the security? The first level of security is ourselves and we have no business allowing outsiders to access the other floors. Right?

I have been approached over 5 times to "lend" my access cards by these groups of unknown people and each time I have declined or found an excuse. Residents are not the issue, its the few tenants who are having the access cards who are very willingly allowing these people free entry into the lifts. Its some kind of unspoken pact to show "courtesy" to those who look like students or foreigners living/working in Casa Tiara to let them get to their floors. I have seen with my own eyes, tenants letting other 'tenants' into the lifts without even knowing who they are! These groups hang around in big numbers in the lift lobby and just try their luck with each passing person for the access card. Its a known fact that the majority of units are being leased out, so residents only form a small fraction. Its a major security issue, this is happening around the clock. That's why we need the security guards to monitor the non-residents at the lift lobbies...the tenants, the visitors, the illegals...residents can't do that alone. What I know is it costs about RM50.00 to get an access card. Many units are sub-let which means there could be more than 10 people within those units. There is one good example with the unit opposite mine. I dont know if you live in Casa Tiara, but if you do then you will understand how the security is being breached. Just taking the lift a few times a day and you will see the "co-operation" going on among the so-called tenants!

[CS Chua]

I guess this is a good case for Mr Yeo and the MC to address. I hope he and the committee members are reading this forum. Or does anybody got their email addresses so that we can send this link to them?

[JustineTan]

Yeah, its safe. So far not much of any incident except a few stolen shoes outside their compounds. I guess its normal anywhere.

If you wanna meet up for a drink or so, you can PM me as well.

it is not save at all...there has been a few robberies, breakins, the internet is disguise as a gambling casino, there is prostitution.

Hi, yes i am part of the committee.
And i am reading it...i'll express ur concern to them.
But mainly we need everybody's help in fighting this battle. The main enermy currently is NPO and the T-jaya property management company. We are working very hard on the taking over of the management. But T-jaya and NPO are not making it any easier. The financial standing of the accounts now is deficit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A problem a few residents faced is people without access cards followed them into the lift. When the residents use their access card, those imposters quicky push the button of the floor they are going to. There's no way to stop them without resorting to physical means ..... and let's face it, those foreigners are bigger than most Malaysians.

A guard is really needed to deter those intruders.

[Couch Hero]

Is there any way to make it a requirement for owners who want to rent their units to foreign students to place a hefty deposit with the management office?

That way .... when the foreign students act up, like damaging a deck chair or hang their clothes on the window .... money can be deducted from the deposit.

Dont worry, 1/1/2010 all the cards need to be reactivated. The access card will program to 1 entrence 1 exit in the car park and can only access to 1 floor. We will limit the number of cards that can be own by 1unit. Students will have like a special tag to wear so we can identify them.

We are trying to get NPO to install CCTV at the R floor, gym room, games room...etc. If they damage it, we will make them to pay.

We cant collect hefy deposits from them.

[John.P]

Well, its good to note the new residents committee is trying to do their best in terms of improving the security and other issues. A new access card is welcome, 1 entrance-1exit for carpark and only 1 residential floor access will hopefully solve the security issue. What about going to B1, G, R and P2, 3 and 4?
Are there by-laws that prevent apartments being sub-let? There is one house opposite mine that has about minimum 8-10 people inside at any one time. So there is constant movement of people in and out of the house. I even believe it is being used as a guest house for visitors from abroad, as I can see people coming in with travel bags and stay a few days before going off. Can we give warning letters to such owners and tell them it is illegal and their tenants are breaking the law?
Please, can the committee put in some extra tables and chairs at the pool area, 600 units and it is a constant fight over 5 deck chairs! And the main front entrance to the condo is a terrible shame. Its floor is stained and littered, the walls are dirty and the fountain is filled with filthy water. A good paint job for the ground floor walls leading to the lift lobbies will be a great start.
We as residents appreciate the work the committee is doing. Sometimes its a thankless job but nevertheless it needs to be done. Is there any help I can render to the committee, I dont have legal or accounting background and most of the time I am stationed out of the country. Thanks

[JustineTan]

going to parking we are still in the mist of discussing it. Cox accoridng to Lim Poh Yit (T-jaya management) either B1 or B2 belongs to them. So they want to lease it out.
there are no by-laws to protect sub-lease. The unit belongs to the owner only he can decide and filter it. But we are only giving 2-3cards max per unit and the amount depends on what unit you own (eg studio will only get 1 card A and 1 card B, people with 3rooms will get 3 cards). I hope it will resolve that problem in limiting the number of people living in a unit. The committee is trying to get a police pondok to station at our apartment but no promises (under nego)
NPO development is undergoing the process in redoing the entrance, (rought idea is to take away the fountain and just put some plants) According to Lim Poh Yit they have ordered the tiles. I think repainting is not possible as there is no money in the account, and NPO do not agree in paying it. But accoring to LIm Poh Yit they are trying to secure 1 anchor tenant consumer retail to take up the big space infront of the entrance, so they will redocorate it accoridng to him. If we can get more residents to put pressure on NPO will be good. Especially those with media contacts. Let them know that the residents are very piss with the current situation and the residents besides the committee do care about this place.. Give them pressure to buckle up!! dont just complain it on a forum!!!!!!!!!!

[John.P]

Hello everyone,

Any feedback regarding the latest improvements made for Casa Tiara? I hv not been able to collect my new access cards as I am still overseas. Just hope all the new measures will make CT a better place to live in. This is to the Committee member, any news regarding the re-doing of the front entrance by NPO? We would have to press them continuously for results. Its a terrible eyesore...the floors and walls are stained, the fountain pond is filled with dirty water and there is constant littering by the students :eek: . What else can we look forward to this new year... I hope the new managing agents can get their act together to improve the landscaping, put some chairs and tables at the pool area and get the security guards to carry out their duties properly.
Well, Happy New Year to all! Cheers. :)

CARPARKS ANYONE?

Hi, I have 2 Carparks Side by side on the FIRST FLOOR going for RM150 each (NEG). MY sister's Unit (550sf Studio) just rented out to Korean student with NO CAR. As a result I'm renting out my carparks... 1st come 1st serve...

Dear All,

Any idea if strata titles have been applied or transferred to the CT owners?

[CS Chua]

We are trying to get NPO to install CCTV at the R floor, gym room, games room...etc. If they damage it, we will make them to pay.

We cant collect hefy deposits from them.
I visited my unit at Block A recently and noted a few things. One, the door going into the life enclosure was damaged so it cannot be closed. That means, anyone can go into the life or wait for someone to give them access. However, the same door near the security room is like new. When questioned, the security said, there is no CCTV to monitor that door. I am surprised to hear that there are no CCTV to monitor the entrances and exits of such important place. Surely, lifts entrances and doors are important places so that you can see who is going in or out, right?

Secondly, after the notice last year that all our access cards need to be re-programmed so that it will only allow access to its designated floor turns out to be a big hoo-haa for nothing. What happened to all these grand plans?
Like before, anybody can use the access card to access any floors. So, we have people standing near the lifts demanding us to let them go up.

Thirdly, the glass door in B2 car park is broken so anyone can enter the lift and go up to B1, where they can have access to all the floors by following someone in. This is a serious security breach. What is being done?

Somehow, I feel that my monthly maintenance fees are not being put to good use. It is time that audited accounts be sent to all unit owners. Is the management so poor that they cannot afford to replace that broken door, fix CCTV to cover entrances and exit points? What are they using our money for?

Strata title can apply 6 months after CF; but sources said Developer can not proceed because they still waiting what they want to do with the unsold retail lots, B1 & B2 car parking area(B1 and B2 originally in approved DO are for tenants' car parking). For these 3 floors, developer is suppose to bear all monthly service charges, which unlikely shown in the audited account. :(

Thanks Joni.

Block B security glass door no longer function. Tiles at collection garbage at my floor has been damaged for months but no action taken despite repetetive complaints.

If i am not mistaken, the maintenance fees has also been increased frm .21 cents to .22 cents. I don't see any improvement at all. The security is in CT is a joke.

I have passed thru E-tiara and it seems that they have enhanced their security by a placing guard stand at the entrance and exit. E-tiara security guards do stop cars and check prior allowing cars entering.

CT security guards dont even bother when cars drive against the traffic. Worst still when they lepak around the main entrance without doing anything.

We need get our unit strata titles in order to have own say. I have called NPO a few times during my stay in subang rgdg strata title issue but no one answered the phone. Wonder if they have changed their phone no?

I have to agree with some of the comments made. My unit is in Blk B, and the glass door is damaged and not functioning. Over the weekend I came back to get my access cards re-set, I found not much changes after 6months away other than a few more shoplots being taken up. The Security agency has bucked up a little but when you look at E-Tiara, our agency is far behind. E-Tiara residents committee have used their sinking fund to install barriers at the entry points and the guards check traffic moving in and out. I was able to see a long list of To-Do items compiled by the CT M.C. but I can't see any visible changes. The main complaint is that there isn't enough money in the CT sinking fund! I have the chairman of CT's M.C. email so if any one of you would like to address your concerns to him, pls do so, its yeohct1118@yahoo.com, appreciate if Mr Yeoh's feedback can be shared on this forum. Cheers!

I recently went back to Malaysia and finally visited my unit for the first time since completion (it was tenanted during my last visit in 2009 so I didnt have the chance to view it).

My unit is generally satisfactory but i was utterly disappointed with the maintenance and the security surrounding the building - the newly installed glass door are dodgy, cheap and flimsy. anyway hope it will worked eventually.

My tenant ended the contract this month and moving to overseas, so I am currently looking for new tenant. I told my estate agent that I prefer not to rent it out to student especially African / Iranian / Eastern European etc, though he mentioned it could be rented out quicker.

Mine's a 500 sf unit with balcony facing swimming pool, unfurnished (only with fans, lights, water heater and aircond). I decided not to furnished it as I dont want to invest another $5-10k or more just to increase the rental for another few hundreds ringgit, which will take a long time to recover, if ever. THe wear and tear of the furnitures is also another concerns, as i am not in the country to ensure the upkeeping. I guess the kitchen cabinet would be the most expensive upgrade, need to allow RM3-5k just for that?

I was also been asked if i am open to selling the unit, and was quoted about RM250k. The LRT project is granted, but it could take forever for it to be completed - typical Malaysian government style. Anyway i cannot imagine the value of a studio unit will go more than RM250k even with the LRT project completed - or am i too pessimistic?

I heard someone mentioned about the SUbang airport recently - any new development that could potentially increase the property value in the Subang area?
