4 Issues Record … Often Override the Home Buyers!

astanaya — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 07:01:15 +0000

Consumer protection properties, especially for home buyers in Indonesia, is still considered very weak. This is because the transaction system and the rule of law has not been in favor of the consumer.

Property law expert, Erwin Kallo, say, at least four of the most common problems experienced by consumers in Indonesia. Namely, a backward handover, the issue of building specifications, certifications, and turning the old name on the notary.

Backward handover

Erwin said, penyerahterimaan the back or hand over is still a lot of experienced consumers. This handover schedules withdrawal, for example, because the developer has not completed development of the entire state plots, while the consumer has paid in full.

Not only backwards. Erwin even lamented, many consumers have to suffer because there is no certainty of the house woke up so neglected.

Building specifications

In the clause of agreement between the developer to the buyer stated that the developer is responsible for maintenance within a specified period. However, Erwin said, the clause is still weak because the developer is only responsible for what it seems. Then, what about things that do not look like a building foundation, framework, and other structures?

According to Erwin, it did not seem it is not possible individually inspected by the consumer. This limited warranty developer thinks is unfair.

Certification

Other consumer problems about certification is not acceptable. In Indonesia, frequent transfer of the house is already underway, but the certificate is not clear when.

The causes can vary. Call for example, developers are still pledged to the bank and the certificate has not been paid. When asked, the developer can be argued, that the agreement gave the home side, but not the certificate.

Other reasons, developers want to apply efficient, that is waiting for all new lots bought and then redeem the certificate at the bank. Of course, this is unfair to buyers who have occupied the land for longer.

Erwin rate, this is not simply a matter of physical rights of the consumer’s home. The certificate has a legal basis of consumer homes.

Behind the old name on the notary

The length of the land certificate is not up in the hands of consumers was not from rogue developers only. Because, it could be hampered in the current certification process behind the name of the notary.

Erwin described his experiences of having to wait for 8 months behind the name. In fact, he said, the certificate has been submitted by the developer.

Notary public, he says, feel the loss should take care of one by one Deed of Sale and Purchase (AJB) to BPN. He waited until a lot, then take care of it. In fact, the provisions of the National Land Agency (BPN), the process behind the name only take 1-2 weeks.

Already Try Parquet “Laminate”?

astanaya — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 12:51:03 +0000

When you come to the shop building, or a walk in the exhibition material, you may hear the term for laminate parquet flooring. What exactly is this thing?

Laminate parquet or laminate can be said is the development of the parquet (wooden floors). First, when the wood is still available in large quantities, wood floors are made of solid wood. But, when the wood scarce, that is where innovation starts. Emerged the so-called parquet laminate.

Laminate parquet is made of several layers of material, so because it used the words of laminate, which is glued together. Generally, there are four constituent layers, including:

- At the bottom is a protective layer, usually made from melamine. This layer serves to protect the wood from moisture caused the existing floor (the floor below).

- The coating on it is the main ingredient, or commonly called MDF (medium density fiberboard) or HDF (high density fiberboard).

- The coating on it anymore is a decorative material. Because MDF and HDF has a smooth surface (not patterned), then the motif is required in order to look artificial wood floors look like natural wood. Patterned layer of wood is usually made of resin.

- Finally, the uppermost layer, the transparent film serves as a strong and protective. With a layer of this film, laminate parquet is more scratch resistant and water resistant than solid wood parquet.

Weaknesses laminate

Because the powder is made from wood, laminate is not very strong compared to the weight of solid wood. Therefore, this material is suitable for spaces that do not bear too much burden, such as the bedroom or living room.

Laminate parquet is usually available in two thicknesses, ie 8 mm and 12 mm. For ease of install, laminate parquet designed with interlocking system between the tongue and the niche. In one piece, his left hand is a tongue and his right side is a niche; upper side of the tongue and the bottom side niches.

How to install by inserting the tongue of one piece into another puck that niche. This is different with the installation of tiles, which each his disc should be attached to the floor below it.

Here the adhesive is also required, but only to put between the pieces with other pieces (glue smeared on the tongue and the niche). In this way, the installation of laminate parquet become easier, such as installing a puzzle.

In addition, because it does not need to be glued to the ground floor, floor covering can be applied to floors that have been closed ceramic or other materials. Practical, right?
