PT Mitra Kusala Pertiwi<\/p>\n
Developer PT Mitra Kusala Pertiwi's pre-sale promotion in
\nDecember 1993 created my interest in acquiring one of the houses
\non offer at the housing exhibition sponsored by the REI
\n(Indonesian Real Estate Association).<\/p>\n
The house was to be located at the Pondok Indah Pancoran Mas
\n(Poinmas), Rangkapan Jaya, Pancoran Mas, Depok.<\/p>\n
On the basis of the purchase agreement dated Dec. 9, 1993 and
\nlegalized by Notary Public E. Sianipar, the developer agreed to
\nhand over the house, the land and the administrative documents
\nat the end of February 1994. The agreement also mentioned the
\ndeveloper's willingness to pay a fine of two percent of the total
\npayment made for every monthly delay in the transfer of the
\nhouse.<\/p>\n
The developer made the transfer 30 months late, precisely on
\nNov. 5, 1996. That was the result of two years of continuous
\nlobbing by both myself and my lawyer.<\/p>\n
The house was unlivable. The rooftiles were not straight due
\nto the quality of the wood supporting the roof. The house leaked.
\nThe walls were not straight either. The door and window frames
\nmade all sorts of angles due to the low quality of the wood.<\/p>\n
The developer was elusive in his response to complaints. I
\ndecided to repair the house to make it livable. The cost was Rp
\n25 million, half of the price of the house.<\/p>\n
The problem is now that the developer PT Mitra Kusala Pertiwi
\nhas not handed over the title deed and the building permits. The
\ndeveloper defaulted from his written commitment to submit the
\ndocuments on Jan. 14, 1997 at the latest, two months after the
\ntransfer of the house. The developer also agreed to settle the
\nmatter of fines at the same time.<\/p>\n
I am in the dark as to when the documents will be given to me.
\nEvery time I asked Mr. Iskandar Suardi, president director of PT
\nMitra Kusala Pertiwi, he always said that the matter was being
\nsettled with the Bogor Land Agency, Mrs. Masnah Sari's notary
\noffice in Bogor, the Public Works office of Bogor regency, the
\nBogor branch of Bank Tabungan Negara and several other offices
\nand agencies.<\/p>\n
I am writing this letter because the problem of the HGB and
\nIMB documents pertaining to land use and construction permit is
\nnot exclusively mine, other buyers must cope with the same
\nproblem.<\/p>\n
I would like to appeal to the People's Housing Ministry, the
\nNational Land Agency\/the Agrarian Ministry and of course the
\nIndonesian Consumers' Foundation to look into the matter and to
\nhopefully find a speedy solution.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, a word for REI. I deeply regret that REI
\nmembership is not a guarantee for house buyers to obtain
\nsatisfaction. REI should upgrade its members especially the
\nsmall-scale developers. The upgrading by REI of its members like
\nPT Mitra Kusala Pertiwi will certainly benefit many people with
\nlimited financial means.<\/p>\n
