Check with YTL. I heard they are going to renew the lease to 99 years, like what they did to Lake Edge Puchong.

Ya, its quite a old neighbourhood and I don't like it also. They are pretty run down and the other side of the garden, BK2 also, you will find all kind of people that you don't like,some of them even use the house for business purpose like renovation work material they keep their goods in the house and a lot of the stuff they just leave them in the car park. I don really like the enviroment there. I think your seller purposely hike up the price becos of this coming lrt project thing otherwise that house won't command this price i think.

Actually, u can opt for BK5 house,some of the house condition is quite good. Or you can look for those Guarded & Gated house in Mutiara Indah Puchong(leasehold) I think price now is around RM400k.

Or get a house in "wong" area like Bandar Puteri Puchong (freehold) for RM450k   The Peak, its right on top of the hill and your neighbour will be mostly bangalow and double storey house oni, i think this one you stil can get a few house from IOI developer for earlier phase. I can still see some seller posting to sell their house in this taman, some selling for RM500k in good condition. You should take a short trip up there,the enviroment is really good,cool wind and come with 3 park i think in walking distamce to each other. I say this becos I bought one unit there earlier this year 

Searching form the net is good, but i still prefer the classic way.
Go to the area you like, survey look out for (for sale/rent signs)
Try to talk to the people there.
Espicially those auntie's & young man around that area.
They might give you tips abt selling price range & who's selling around that area.

Gated community, even better, talk to the guard he know who's & where is selling at the
area. Park car & travel by foot. Talk to their neighbours for those unoccupied lots.

they still have houses there for the price of 450K? I saw from iproperty site the prices exceed 500K.

thanks for the  tip. =)

Puchong got Lake Edge but average is RM520k plus,leasehold status,developer is YTL.

I went to view the corner lot in bk2 today. From the photo it was okay but once I enter the house I've no mood to continue. Owner did not maintain the house and the agent asked "do you plan to renovate?" I was stunned for a while and was thinking to myself that seems like the whole house needs to be renovated. Urgh. Guess I'll just opt this area out. Owner increased the price too. 498K. Not worth it.

Btw, do you guys have any tips for newbies on how to bargain price with agents? I have zero clue on how to do this if I'm really keen to buy a house.
