Hi guys,

I've personally liked sri petaling alot but the houses here are all leasehold i believe. Thus i've ran out of idea of which location to choose next.

My budget is about 450K. Freehold. Double storey.

Is it advisable to purchase a house in usj?

I'm very scared of jam. IT's time consuming and Im working in Cyberjaya. My bf working in Mid Valley area. Brother studyin in KL Golden Triangle.

Need some advice on any other location that I can consider.

then u better dun go for usj. killing you.

i think sri petaling have freehold right? but price 450k hard to find at that area... even u can find oso need huge fund to renovate.

seem like is true that most of Sri Petaling houses under LeaseHold

Setia Alam or Kemuning Utama located at Shah Alam which is freehold & under RM450k, but traveling to KL will be an issues... Otherwise if around Puchong area, u can consider Malton project can within your budget but leasehold...

May be you can consider Puchong area since it is not too far away from Sri Petaling?

for ur case old klang road is most proper location for you.

consider

freehold, but old house, might need more fund to renovate

yeah prob with second hand house might include leakeage...and white ants...the most scary ones...

New houses face the same problem too. That of course it can be rectified by the developer if the property is still under the warranty period.

u can goto survey 1st about termites... ask neighbour,inspect your self...

but renovation is definitely need, as old house, if want cheap then repaint, but if old style structure, u need a lot of fund (i dun like old style :b )

okay other than mutiara puchong (leasehold)? any places with new houses? hmmm best if its convenient to go kl and midvalley area.

never knew choosing location for property could be so tideous

for puchong... i dont really recommend...

main reason, in the morning, when u want to come out midvalley.. will killing you. and bukit bintang as well. skip toll is 1 thing, most unfair is queue to pay toll and then queue to go out toll -.-

mutiara puchong, i dont like also... as during 90's... that site is a big sands hole

i suggest lake field sungai besi by YTL ! u can survey there

If your bf works in CyberJaya and you work near MidValley, you can consider Sg.Long.

Kota Kemuning?

kk---kesas--maju expressway---bukit bingtang (30mins)

kk---nkve---kerinchi link---midvalley (35 mins, provided no jam)

kk--kesas---elite----cyberjaya (30 mins)

fair to everybody...

if u dont mind the small house buildup and old house...
u can consider the houses around Subang Jaya too...

if u prefer the area come with community management, i think only USJ and the current new projects...


i think the timing should fall during "sleeping time" right?

nolah, my office is somewhere near kk, i always reached bb and cyberjaya within 30 mins.

anyway midvalley traffic is really unpredictable...

buy oug rm450k

Maybe u want to try Bandar Puteri Puchong, guarded n gated, double storey,plantation land and free hold status. House quality so so but location is very "wong". Shopping center i.e Tesco,Jusco,Giant n food are plenty within 5 minutes travel. Distance from Cyberjaya is near, even travel to Bukit Bintang area only takes you most is 25 minutes becos after coming out from Bandar Puteri junction all the way to OUG is Kesas highway, no traffic light, takes you only 8 minutes most, after that from OUG straight head down to Bukit Bintang is another 10-15 minutes. Actually thats my route also every morning, traffic flow is smooth, my journey start from 6.30am everyday.

yeah the place im staying now is only 15/20 mins to Cyber and 8 mins to MV if there's no jam HAHAHA guess im too used to not having jams.

TohSan : Is that area jam?

Bandar Kinrara... even fairer for everyone

bandar kinrara's houses are new ?

not really, it depend also, at time traffic is slow but the speed is something like 60-80 km/h compare to USJ Jalan Kewajipan where u will be totally stands still for 10-15 mintutes waiting for the traffic lights to turn green. Most import is the security level nowadays, USJ is a big no no if u ask me. The major hot area targeted by robbers n thiefs are USJ 1,2,3,4,6,9, certain area of 11,12,13,most SS area that are not guarded n gated. Even those uncle that used to stay there for more than 15 years get "mug" n robbed when they go for morning walk or exercise. Taman Desa & OKR area are equally bad don really understand the reason behind. U should consider this factor carefully. Every where is traffic jam nowadays u can't escape we have too many cars on the road becos of lousy public transport system.

Just buy a house at Cyberjaya lah.
or Buy a place you really like & never turn back.

Mixture of new n old... The new ones are just completed and you can buy them from subsales.. average RM500k

Whoa that bad huh? My colleague's stayin in USJ20. Love the houses there. Peaceful and quiet.

blasto : cyberjaya is a dead city AHAHA =P no way im gonna stay there.

eugene : Googled and found some. Might be going to view the units tomorrow =)

As for USJ the best is G&G double storey house is USJ 16, price wise you must prepare to pay premium but still the traffic jam there is a big headache during rush hours.

Why not PJ? RM450k can get some decent places in matured townships like SS2 and DJ. Just go to iproperty.com and search 'petaling jaya'.

Putrajaya/Cyberjaya slow to none nowdays since it change hands.

450k for condo in petaling jaya maybe yes. impossible for landed.

babymiki : hunting is thrilling, enjoy & be happy.

HAHA guys check this out

http://www.iproperty.com.my/propertylistin...ce_Link_ForSale

decent price for that measurement?

The posted date is in Sept, might has been sold already.

how about this 1 miki http://www.iproperty.com.my/propertylistin...ce_Link_ForSale

stated negotiable.

wrong move! u better go and check out the neigbourhood u might not like what you see. I say you should give this one a miss. U must bear in mind this place is not guarded n gated hence the security level is like usj. I used to own a house near by and my relative used to stay there until some no good scumbag break-in thru the front door n ransack the whole house, its not even 7pm yet that time. They sold the house and shift to safer n better place. A lot of cases goes unreported there becos a lot of people felt that its pointless and helpless. Just to share some info with u.

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.

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

Lakefield has the lease hold status of 75 years, not 99 years. According to my friend that bought a unit there, till now they only got the temporary CF. There is a land the inner area reserved for Sekolah Agama. Initially I was interested in Lakefields too but after my friend highlighted those to me, I give up.

where is location of the land and size?

Lakefields is in Sg.Besi. Nearby Besray Sg.Besi toll. It is developed by IJM, 3 storey link house.

www.lakefields.com.my/

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

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.

ya thats one of the good old skol ways to do audit.

Lakefields is by YTL, not IJM.

Added on November 9, 2009, 11:47 amI think the DSL in Lake Edge is already transacted at above RM 550K.

Added on November 9, 2009, 11:49 amCheck with YTL. I heard they are going to renew the lease to 99 years, like what they did to Lake Edge Puchong.

try drive into Puteri 12 area, u will see some house still have "For Sale" sign, call them u might find a gem or two.

Ya, I know it is YTL but when typing the time, accidentally typed IJM

i told my agent, after our final nego.

if u discount me another 3k, i give u 1k. 6k = 2k.
another 9k discount i get.

so you get 9k discount?

i went to BK9 to view the houses. love that area. the house are decent too except for the flooring.

normally how much can u negotiate with the agent? how low can you go?
