What gets me angry all the time is how everyone in business here just lie to customers all the time. Like Deezer said, realtors will lie outright to you, they will tell you it’s a good house while it’s falling apart. In every aspect of life, they lie. They soon fix the road, they soon fix the water supply, they soon fix the ATM machines. Jamaica is beautiful, but it’s a very dysfunctional society with little to no accountability. Thank you for the video.
💯💯
@@MSSHARIIIBetter than most islands where people will watch others build houses then demand they leave the house and they have to..
Jamaica is running like a Matty Patty shop..
No structural arrangements..
So everybody gonna live on the north coast? This is flawed thinking, good places to live are all over people don't be so closed minded. You'd be surprised some gems out there
@@videosight1 Too many good places to mention, but here are mine….Christiana, Spauldings, Porus in Manchester, Santa Cruz in St Elizabeth, Whitehouse in Westmoreland, Unity Hall in St. James….
You are THE FIRST you tuber that make sense about viewing properties. I don't understand why the person showing the property has to be opening cupboards and exaggerating about the space as if we can't see for ourselves. Another point is that the area space is small, yet the person shows stating there is a lot of space.
This is the first time i have ever watch ads that i dont care about just because i wanted to support you guys. Jamaica is a beautiful plantation, yes i said it, a plantation. We are a backward crooked society.
Thank you 🙏🏾
True
Thank you for this information. The government is at fault because in China they CANNOT build and sell anything like this.
I bought a gore home about 3/4 years ago and there were mis-matched tiles and The finish on the house is very poor I. Many aspects. Unfortunately I live in the U.K. and didn't see the house before the six month period to complain ended. But on the plus side, I got my key and a house. The drainage is very bad too. Water is settling around the house when it rains. This will cost me to fix, which I cannot afford now. Jamaica needs to be more accountable and there is too much pay under the table for favours and passing things.
@@kayjay882 mismatched tiles and poor finishes are among my complaints with this builder as well
Those are starter homes. The quality is usually so so.
And thats the govt fault? Sounds like it is the ppl that are doing the wrongs here!
@KattahB yes the government can be blamed. They set the industry standards.
@@tuffstarr1026 I wholeheartedly disagree!
Thank you both for sharing this information. A petition was launched demanding change in Jamaica because the homes are not being built properly. A lot of residents at Pyramid Point are still going through the process as the developers Manukah is still not taking accountability, leaving the residents with mold, sewage, roof, electrical , water issues to name a few. I pray investors do their due diligence and look into buying from developers who take accountability and address the issues if issues arise.
This can’t be allowed so many people from the diaspora group or people who are descendants of Jamaica parents are buying property in Jamaica and are being left with a hard pill to swallow. Paying a large amount for a property that requires substantial work to make it liveable.
I paid down 5 million jmd on a house from Out of the Blues development and when my lawyer did the research someone else had paid down on it too. I had to spend thousands of dollars to get back my money after almost a year. These guys are crooked developers. Thank you so much DmS to highlight this video🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So sorry this happened to you
Blame the corrupt Jamaica government for giving away the Jamaican people lands to their criminal property developers friends these land should be use to build affordable housing for the Jamaican people
@@DatMiSehTV you have to do a vlog on living in Manchester. Homes there are over run by mold due to the climate.
It's Jamaican's dirty secrets. That's old and new homes. A family member of mine lives there and mold grows like wild weed on the property she rented. She says it's not just where she lives but most homes there has molds people just live with it.
Mold gets into suitcases in plastic bag and the stuff in them.
Thank you for this video. It was an important public service. Your empathy for those affected is very appreciated. Keep up the good work
Wow, that's disgraceful! You're a gem to those of us who are thinking of returning.
That's why I am building my own so I can decide on how things are done.
DAT IS IT!
@saltmakerel ... love your name 😍
Mackerel that's another stress in itself!!
I never thought that those properties were worth the money. The government should stop them from further development.
Free market globally. Houses in USA have shoddy work as well.
Thank you for doing this. Certain platforms turned a blind eye to this.
It is like working hard, accumulating the money and putting in a cloth bags filled with holes. Mercy!
The Bible says that but it's about people who are working hard and not doing anything for the Lord or going to church. God will let them work and put their money in the bag with holes
A proper concrete mix requires a ratio of sand, aggregate and portland cement. Properly mixed mortar will continue to get stronger over time, for instance my Father's 50 year old house is so strong that nails made for use on concrete walls bend instead of going in. At Pyramid Point, they added Marl (typically used as backfill or for sub-surface on roads) to the mortar to save on the cost of using a proper mix. This not only results in an inferior product, but over time, instead of getting stronger, it gets weaker. The mold is caused from the Marl soaking up water in the walls.
It might be considered underhanded of them to use Marl in the walls, but it is downright criminal of them (to the point of attempted murder), to use Marl for the roof decks. These decks WILL begin to fall apart and collapse in the years to come and will most certainly hurt or kill someone in the building.
I should have provided a (sort of) solution for anyone with one of these homes. I'm not kidding here, although these fixes are expensive. First, you have to build a roof on top of the existing structure, an entire new metal or asphalt roof, to cover everything and keep rain off the provided roof deck the house currently has. Please do not waste your time & money thinking there is a fix for the current roof, NOTHING will stop it from leaking, no special paint or tar, no hacking and recoat with cement, NOTHING. Secondly, keep water away from the walls, landscape the ground and use high quality oil paints on the exterior walls. Third and most important, keep the house closed, sealed as tight as you can and run dehumidifiers day and night in addition to AC. If someone is attempting this fix, I would highly recommend they get a solar powered split AC - This is a self-contained unit that has its own solar panels, properly installed with a few additional items it will run the AC and humidifiers for the house, so basically after the initial expense it runs for free. These steps will actually make the house liveable. For the solar AC, I'll make a suggestion (since I have my eye on buying one myself), search for "EG4 hybrid solar mini-split", their 24K BTU runs for US$3,000+.
😮omg
@@verohandymikeand just imagine the electric bill🫢wow.
@@ew374which is why I suggest that the whole thing be solar, but that cost to set it up can run into the millions of Jamaica dollars
@@verohandymikeNot millions ,1 mil can do it
Great topic and job.. You both show excellent morals by highlighting the negative aspects of your previous blogs..
Great leadership skills are made by ones that give both sides of the coins at any means necessary.. Thank you
Thank you for highlighting this topic. People work so hard for their money to go a buy a property which has so many problems not fair at all
Skilled liars; in a nutshell, they have no standards. Speaking from experience. Glad this issue is being covered in an honest way.
You guys, is the number one RUclipsr couple in Jamaica by far,
Aww thank you 🙏🏾
Thanks guys for highlighting this. Very useful content. Respect and manners❤
Thank for the information I like that you have open everyone’s eyes to this I hope that the developers will take heed as returnee’s will use overseas lawyers who don’t ramp not only that they always like to paint Jamaica in a bad light and we give them the ammunition to do so. I must say your content is always so good that is why most people don’t watch the ads but trust I have as we must support your guys ting. Stay blessed and continue the good work.
Don't deviate from building block and steel houses in Jamaica. Build your own house.
The government must take these crooked developers to task. They need to put laws in place which included prison time for crooked developers.
The government is the same they are partners
Thanks for the transparency Deezer & Outlaw.
All I hear here is laziness, negligence, and incompetence from the Parish council and the Jamaican government. Money talks in Jamaica. Conscience and morality means nothing
The Government has nothing to do with this. The Parish Council are soley responsible
@@neillyr12robb86 the government can ensure the Parish Council do their job properly. All these complaints should not be swept under the rug. The government needs to step in as something isn't right.
@@everblessed9461 If the Government step in and do certain things, unnu same one ago call the Prime Minister dictator. The Parish Council needs to do their job. This doesn't need Government intervention
Guess what! Money talks everywhere.
@@Happey67 guess you are a beneficiary
These problems are not solely a Jamaican one, these problems happen in the UK and the globe. Carrying out Due diligence as stated is the key, hiring independent professional building consultants would be my advice. Independent from the developers team.
Thanks so much for your review of the homes in ORCC. The issues we are facing in Jamaica with our property are real and we followed protocol by contacting all the relevant local authorities but this has made no difference.
Unfortunately due diligence wont always highlight defects - not until youve spent millions & moved in b4 some problems surface.
Hi Deezer & Outlaw thanks for this video. Can we please have a part 2 going through some more of the new developments and issues? Also can we have a video of developments that have had happy buyers? I promise I'll watch all the ads for that one too!
Sure 👍🏾
Thank you, Deezer and Outlaw. This video was very informative. Have a blessed Sunday, both of you.
We bought a 3 bedroom home from Kemtek Development in the gated community of Stonebrook Manor in Falmouth Trelawny 4 yrs ago and so far we haven’t gotten any issues.
That’s great! Kemtek also built Draxhall Country Club and Draxhall Manor in St Ann, and as far I know they have no issues either. There seems to be less issues with older developments. It’s also important to highlight developments were residents are happy with their purchases. Thank you
@@DatMiSehTVSo why dont you do just that? Highlight good developers and good developments. All these negatives! My Gawd!
@@KattahB We have done exactly that! We’ve just recently recorded a video highlighting 5 good developments of which I’m currently in the process of editing and it’ll be posted on our channel very soon. It’s not all negative!!!!!
@@DatMiSehTV Thanks for that. Can't wait to see that one! This reminds me of Buju's Browning and Black Woman songs! Hope you get my drift! Always 2 sides.. and sometimes 3. Have a good day!
@@DatMiSehTVcan’t wait to see the upcoming video. Can you touch on any developers that are reputable?
Bought a new luxury apartment in Kingston last year, I was the 1st to move in and after having my 1st shower, the entire apartment below me was completely flooded and that was the beginning of many issues to date. Some apartments the owners are not able to live in them and still paying mortgage, insaneeee.The entire development is still not insured to date which is mandatory. It’s a nightmare. Spend millions to get it to where it is now but Wish I’d seen videos like this before, instead of all the hype that encouraged me to buy in Jamaica, I would’ve done more research before buying. Keeping highlighting these issues, I’m sure you are going to get push backs but ppl should be aware so they can do their due diligence. Thank you
So sorry to hear the issues you’ve been facing. It’s a reality for many, and you’re right, some are not happy that I have reported in this, but it’s bringing awareness to other. Thank you for watching and sharing your experience.
Developers using the peoples monies to finance other parts of the projects and lining their pockets while at it. Welcome to Jamaica where dreams go to die.
Portridge estate is cracking all over in the house and for the price they are selling these houses for is disgusting
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Thank you Deezer & Outlaw . I went to look at the Country Club with you and was very interested but I have actually been doing my due diligence and seen the horror stories of this place & Pyramid Point! This is information people need💋
Pyramid point currently selling for $400k. Anyone who buys it would be crazy. I would buy for $100k and fix it
I have left Jamaica many years ago so I have no clue whats going on there. Can you tell me who are all these people buying such expensive homes? From the prices of the properties I doubt the typical hard working Jamaican can afford these homes.
@@sjc3426Returning Residents
400 million Jamaica dollar's?
If the MIGHTY NHT has to resort to suing these scammers and property developers, where does that leave average citizens? It's better to build your own house block by block.
Hi. I'm an American living in Texas and visited Jamaica 2 months ago and I would love to move to Jamaica once I retire. If a house is dilapidated, can't the homeowner just play at their own risk and just pay for the minor repairs out of their own pockets and find some other entity besides the government to fix things like sewage, plumbing, elecctricity, etc. Love your channel 😊
How to manipulate the algorithms to appear you've watched the video, the automatic ads should come up, let it play, click the button on the ad; a new tab should open up. This shows interaction with the ad. Close the tab then go back to DMS video. Let the first ad play cuz it's short so you can get paid, the 2nd ad usually is longer. You can do the same thing. If the ad has played and it says skip, you can skip it cuz they mostly want to show the ad from the beginning and show some form of interaction so they can log that the business did get a digital interaction from RUclips. Sounds like a win win all round for RUclips, the advert and the RUclipsr. Try it. See if it works.
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this with us in the diaspora looking for a home on the north coast. Thankfully I wasn’t interested in the developments you mentioned. I love your content, keep up the good work!
Thank you very much. I was looking at Whitehouse Beach Club.
Thank u girl for speaking the truth bless
I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN !!!! SOME PEOPLE FELL FOR THE MARKETING and felt they had to get in early to buy without doing their proper research into these new developments and the state of the local property market !!! PERSONALLY I AM NEVER ONE TO JUMP UNTO NO BANDWAGON without carefully thinking for myself and working out what I am doing before parting with my hard earned capital
You two lovely people...are the realist RUclipsrs. Love uunu. I am so sick of persons advertising properties and form their own opinions whilst doing it...i.e.ooening cupboards, commenting on the size, decor etc...yes we all have different styles and tastes
U guys are awesome 👏 thank you for shedding the light 💡 on such terrible situations.
Thanks for the video guys. Definitely highlights the importance of keeping abreast of the developments of your planning to buy in Jamaica.
Thank you so much appreciate you both looking out for us all ,and bringing this information to light.❤
Thank you Outlaw and Deeza for sharing this information and highlighting these issues.
Thank you King and Queen for your update❣️👑
Wow,I share your video to many family members who bought houses in some of the area you are talking and they lived in England America and Canada 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 thank you.
Respect & Manners always
Dee looking amazing 👌🏿 , bigup yrself outlaw ✔️💪🏿
Thanks for the info Deezer n Outlaw...I don't think that u should stop, because you've stated a disclaimer...
Thank you
Ahhaha, love the clever way you encourage us to watch the ads.
🤣🤣👍🏾
Well done guys 👍
Very informative, watched 4 ads that popped up, happy to support you in this small way 👍
Aww thank you
Aww thank you
This is outrageous and these development companies should be held accountable.I believe your coverage will prevent potential loss and heartbreak to many unsuspecting buyers. God bless you for the great work you are both doing 🙏🏾
Btw, I may just steal your idea to remind viewers to watch the ads when I'm eventually monetized 😊
@dendaley ... Hi Denise!
Hi Denise, yes, definitely do take the idea for the ads 👍🏾 hope you become monetized soon.

Excellent content but please do your research on China Evergrande Housing collapse. Hong Kong court has ordered the liquidation of the Evergrande Group, China's giant and massively indebted real estate developer, after the company was unable to restructure the $300 billion it owed investors. Just six years ago, Evergrande was riding high, preselling apartments to middle- and upper-income Chinese. The same might happen in Jamaica
Never in JA. Evergrand only got in trouble bc of an industrywide government crackdown and new stringent rules for Developers. JA Gov would never, have never done anything against corporations in favour of the country and its people.
You guys have INTEGRITY! Unfortunately, it takes more than just a few good people to keep things on the right path. All this new development yet nothing in place as far as enforcing building codes. The building in Miami that collapsed is an example of corruption that ended up in 100 people killed. The engineer plans were approved, but what was actually built wasn't the same plan as far as the structural columns. There was also a question of the kind of sand used for the concrete. Even with processes in place for codes, corruption will derail everything, and to know Jamaica doesn't even have some of this in place to begin with is very scary. People's hard earned money and literally their lives depend on everyone doing the right thing. How can anyone even do their due diligence if nobody is willing to talk? I never saw your videos as promoting any properties, just showing what's out there. If I'm not going to build, id rather buy an older home that's stood the test of time. Thank you for this important message. Enjoy your Sunday!
Thank you 🙏🏾
Well said …
I have never fancied these gated these gated community properties, number one they all look alike and not very stylish, most of them look like match box, you’re better off buying your land, and watch your property being built from scratch in your own style.
Thank goodness for me I was close to buying a house in this development thank my lucky stars I didn't
Thanks maybe I will need ur services one day.But Jamaica is a headache
Totally disaster ‼️
Parish council inspection are mainly focused on steelwork details and basic order of layout. No checks are done on concrete quality, plumbing, electrical and drainage. If u ask to see the inspection checklist it would be clear to all.
What you are stating is minor to the extent of the problems being faced
Thank you. Yes I have since researched and found out that as you stated Parish councils inspect perusal of Stella work, Foundation and belt course.
Great video but I disagree with you not opening cupboards doors. If you are showing the property then show everything.
Informative and 'brave' episode....
Hello and afternoon to you both from the UK. Have you ever thought about you offering these home owners (that approach you) the opportunity to check the homes that they have bought, checking with the builders and sending pictures of material being used (being their eyes) for them? whilst they are not in JA. Just a thought and maybe charging them for your eyes on what you see on their property, just like if you were a building manager on a site, i suppose this will have you getting in volved in the contractors / development saying I am working on the behalf of such a such person, "You know what I mean". This is a great idea you have put together for your viewers, Just a through because i know if i was to buy a property in JA, i would want someone to be my eyes and ears on the ground for when i am not there and i would employ yourself. Keep up the good work to you both and God Bless you 🫂🫂🫂
Definitely a fantastic idea
This why I built. Even though I still ended up with some problems but they are not unbearable. Yes I want to fix them but can’t right now.
It's true. I know someone with a home in Pyramid Pointe. Their house is towards the back and the land is receding. So the backyard is falling down into the gully. They had to get structural engineer to build up the ground. It's a mess and a lot of $$$$.
Oh my! Sorry to hear this
When I call Out of the Blues about my 5 million they have the nerves to telling me “ come offa the with mi noise for my two little tens cent. 😢 I was on the brink of doing some really bad things
I searched Whitehouse Beach Club (Westmoreland) housing development in Jamaica and there was only 12 posted reviews, all positive. Ironically under 1 year post. Maybe they removed the negative reviews??
Reviews can be posted by the developers using different names. All positive seem suspect.
Thank you so much for sharing, I’m been looking at these houses and can’t wait to purchase one. Also thank you for your honesty about the size of the living area when other Chanels are making everything look so perfect. You clearly can see there’s lack of storage and living spaces.
Aesthetic only, I am really not shocked. Caymanas was a terrible development too. Thanks for bringing awareness to these scammers (developers)
Thank you so much for opening our eyes to these issues. Do you have any issues with Kemtek Development
Great video and it got me hooked I must say BUT can I ask,
what does due diligence look like or entails ?
From someone living abroad, what can one do to help protect us from falling in theae traps.
Great job you guys! You should also expose T Lee County Club in St. Catherine by Totlyn Lee. This developer is another scammer.
The majority are scammers.The hard part is that they get away with it.
Thanks for this update. Have y’all heard anything bad about Richmond Estates homes in St Ann?
Well Richmond is a much older development and phase one is about 15 years old. No issue with Richmond other than some homes having issues with termites but I know it’s not all homes. At least you can treat for termites. But on the whole no issues with Richmond.
i dealt with all these issues with my 3 bedroom unit in kingston. lots of problems
So sorry to hear.
Great information. Thank you.
I thought Kemtek was bad but we get a lucky escape in Stone Brook trelawney
I've never heard anything bad about KemTek
Buy land. Build for yourself. Watch EVERY step for yourself!
Westvillage mobay,roof looks like mould on top ,termite eating off back door.
Oh man! Sorry to hear this
Very informative. Good looking out! ❤
So why is it only two people 🤔 saying something and not the whole community? That said they (the developer) should be responsible on fixing the problem...
More than 2 people have spoken about what happening but these 2 have pushed the issue by reporting it to the media houses.
Just wow. Thanks for the information.
This lady brought a house a Kington he other as they move in there was alot of cracks in every part of the house luckily she have 6months warrant on the properly
Facts
Sault shouldn't be in castor oil if U are using it for hair
Sometimes a dream home can be a nightmare home
Looking at those pictures I'd think it was chinese developers!
These people are greedy and their work is shabby, no pride in their work...All they want is people's money and so much for escalating fee. Who is monitoring these people????
I bought a house from out of the blue since 2022 and until now have not received the house or any update. Please let me know what is going on
So sorry to hear this. Out of the Blue has been plagued with various issues concerning the developer. Please get in contact with the GLC. The General Legal Council in Jamaica and also St Ann’s Municipal Parish and let them
Know of your situation
Lovely channel
Thank you for your information
Wow! Wow! Slow down sis... bordering on a lawsuit here! I understand reports in the news but be careful of the anecdotal stories that you are reporting first hand knowledge! I'm glad you are bringing this to social
Media but naming and calling out companies ! Lord have mercy!
Multiple buyers have come out to talk about their unfortunate experiences with their new homes. In the same way that I name the developments when I showcase or highlight them, is the same way I’ll name them when highlighting the issues. Whilst I understand your concern and am appreciative of it, the fact is that none, not one of these developers of the developments named have denied that there are problems with the homes they have built. On the contrary they have acknowledged that there are issues, but that’s all acknowledged there are issues without doing much or anything to resolve the issues.
The price change at edmund ridge its 24 and 28 million now. The new three bedroom is 44million now
Oh wow!!!!
The Municipal stopped checking to confirm the build quality of most of these new developments. Seems like they get some money from these developers to sweep any and everything under the rug. Smh
Thanks for the truth
Manner an Paryer guys 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
No Deezer..please don't say Ocho rios countryclub...I'd heard about pyramid point...
Yes unfortunately so. Problems in Ocho Rios Country Club too for some residents.
Check out the CALAMITY at WIHCON's The Seascape in Harbour View
What's going on there?
@@lwjunior2 ceilings fallen down, roofing leaks, major plumbing issues, etc.
You should do a feature on Industry Cove Manor by the NHT.
Thanks for the info
Genesis Manor, any problem? I am about to sign a contract.
I physically viewed the property, but you never know.
Hi there, we featured Genesis Manor about 3 years ago and to be honest we've not heard anything negative about this development. I'd suggest possibly speaking to the current residents to find out if they have experienced any problems if you can, but like I said we've not heard anything negative with regards to Genesis Manor. Hopefully all will be well for you, and congratulations on your new home.
