Where to find Blinds tube only for own blind motor

holynoob — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 13:19:12 +0800

Hello sifus,
Does anyone here know where can I find a 38mm tube of blinds for my Zemismart Zigbee smart blinds motor? I'm using it for my staircase windows so needs to be of custom size. But I asked around a few blinds companies and they only sell a complete solution, and they don't know their own blinds' inner diamatre.

Been stuck with this issue for quite some time now.

Architect says balcony extension will affect CCC

holynoob — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 14:39:05 +0800

Hi sifus,
I just purchased a subsale 2-storey terrace that's under MBSJ's jurisdiction. I planned to do a small front and back extension, along with a small 4ft x 4 ft extension of the balcony so it sits flush with the side wall to make the facade look more modern.

I've engaged and architect familiar with MBSJ to draw up the plan submission, everything is okay so far until the balcony part. The guy said the balcony cannot be extended even though is within MBSJ's guidelines as our previous CF was based on the current balcony, once extended will not be able to get a CCC. I'm not sure how does the previous CF affect the CCC thing works? I've honestly never heard of a CF till today but I'm assuming it's an important document based on what I read online. I asked around my neighbours and even ones that did major reno, all of them don't have it, for my side in the process to request MBSJ korek it out.

I know in my taman a lot of illegal extensions, because many not following the guidelines and over-extended. But I want to keep everything as legal as possible but still really want to just slightly extend the balcony for a more modern look, any sifus to enlighten me why this can't be done?

Changed mind, Should I burn the 3% Deposit?

Update #1:
Thanks everyone for the feedback. This issue already resulted in multiple confrontations with my mom the past few days, so it is obvious that the house will continue to be a thorn so we decided to cut our losses and back away from the deal. Already obtained 2 other bank loan rejection letters. Now will just try to talk with the agent on how to proceed and see if we can get any amount of the money back.

Update #2:
Once again thanks to all members. I've finally received my deposit back in full. Decided to treat the banker and the agent to a "meal" of appreciation as well as a token even though they never mentioned it. Now I'm viewing two other houses in the same taman, one is quite old but cheap, the other is slightly renovated but slightly over budget
Wish me luck.

Update #3:
My wife and I now decided on another unit in the same taman. The price is 20k+ cheaper while being an end-lot unit. But requires a lot more work for us to be comfortable living in. Thanks for the advises in getting our deposit back as it is much needed now to renovate house up.

Original text:
So some background,
Me and my wife (both 26) have been looking around for a subsale freehold landed house for our own stay in Puchong Jaya for the past 6 months. We plan to set aside a small amount to fix if up then rent it out in the mean time for the next 3 - 5 years before having enough money to renovate it nice2 and moving in with my parents. Our budget is limited (700k) and we have looked at a few options since.

Most are either in front of T-junction (which we don't like) or in front of surau (which we definitely don't like, not to stroke any religious tension but it is just because we value privacy the most. We don't mind the sound of prayers, my old house used to be right beside a metal foundry. It's just we don't like people frequenting in front of us).

So after months of searching we found this place in Pusat Bandar Puchong , it is still in decent shape with both floors partly extended to the back. It is close to a T-junction but not directly in front so it is okay; we have to be realistic with our budget. In front of the house is an empty land so we love the privacy at that point. We both loved the house, the asking price was exactly 700k. We didn't give much thought and offered 695k. A 3% deposit was paid soon after with the confirmation contract signed.

So me being an excited new house owner, I spent the whole night afterwards researching the area. It was then I realised MBSJ shares development plans of lands, and to my shock the empty plot of land in front of the unit I just reserved has plans to build a surau. I called up Majlis Perancang MBSJ to double confirm, and it is all but confirmed, they are just waiting for the budget to build it. Even the Malay officer was cautioning me, asking if I'm okay with music everyday (which I don't mind) and parking issues + people (which I mind a lot).

I read my confirmation contract terms. Basically I can only get my deposit back if
1. Seller backs out
2. I cannot get 90% loan approval with minimum 2 loan rejection letters

Sadly as of writing, one bank approved my 90% loan, another gave a rejection. I am not sure what to do at this point, my parents are the ones that pay the downpayment while me and my wife will pay for the legal fees, stamp duties etc as well as fixing up the house. I told my parents I want to just burn the 3% deposit (21k) as I rather burn the money than headache worrying about the surau, then headache trying to sell it 6 years later and headache again looking for a same landed house in the same general area.

My calculations:
Purchase price = 695k
Downpayment 70k + all purchase fees 36k = 106k
Estimated fixing up cost = 40k
Loan repayment after 6 years = estimated 200k
Rental earnings after 6 years = estimated 110k
Total cost of ownership = 106k + 40k + 200k - 110k = 236k so let's round it to 240k

If decide to sell after 6 years
Puchong capital gain of 3.2% a year, hence selling price = 850k
Agent 3% fee = 25.5k
Principal sum on loan remaining after 6 years = 560k
Earning by selling = 260k

Nett earning after 6 years = 260k - 240k = 20k

But I also need to account for factors that my house will decrease in value once the surau is built. And my end goal is to own a 2 storey landed house with privacy in the same area of Puchong. So I'm quite sure I will lose relative value since I will definitely need to top up for the new house. I hate treating housing as an investment because it goes against my own moral code, I earn my money from my skills, stocks, side ventures, but it disgusts me to treat the essential need of shelter as an investment. But I understand that's the way of the world so I'll just suck this one up.

I expressed my desire to forfeit the deposit with my mom and pay her back ourselves, I calculated it will set me and my wife back for 6 months if putting into account the 3.2% annual house price increase, set us back a year at most. To me and my wife it is better than being committed to 6 years for a house we don't like anymore because of the surau planned, instead of money we both can save up in less than 6 months.

But my mom is saying to just think positive and we are too young to think that money comes so easily. What's done is done. Just treat it as saving money. But I told her I can use that money to invest instead but she's still coaxing me to think otherwise. Basically... I just want advice whether my way of thinking is correct? That I should stand firm to burn the deposit and treat it as lesson learned? Or listen to my mom and buy a house we don't like...
