Now I am considering whether to buy this condo...The developer offer me the price at rm195k (9XX ft2) which during launching they selling at RM240K

Pros:

Good interior design(easy to arrange furniture, nice tiles)
Near to KTM (3min walking)
The exterior of the building look quite new
The environment is vy clean

Cons:

There is chinese cementery area behind the building (the cementry is more than 200 yrs old i guess cos there is no more photo or wording on the board)

Quite expensive for a condo

I'm buying this lot as a investment...pls give advice

hi,

please have a look at the surroundingand the road entering to this condo...
from MRR2, people can see nad view this condo, they can appreciaite that for the past 2-3 years, there have been few movers..and looks empty...for investment, maybe those youger people would prefer transportation like KTM..it depends, since to me, not everyone dislike the cemetry, my fren didnt care about it..me?...haha3..i nearly bought this condo last 2 year when the price is exactly what you said, but am not sure whteher the market price is that high still!

good. i got friends buy things. where to find cheap condo nowadays

u mean they've reduced the price? what's the prob? normally developer will increase price, not reducing it.
it should be a good indication for u.

What do you mean by this "can see nad view this condo"

bank value around rm190k only. rm240k overprice liao

so means not worth buying?

Few years ago, developer offered this price to me also. Mean the value didn't raise within these 3 years+.

oh then its not good..

For Kepong area condo I recommend Vista mutiara 2 or First residence. I will never consider Kepong sentral area apartment, very dusty, noisy and bad fengshui.

VM2: Pros: - low density (260+ units),
- resonable price 1100sqft < 200k with 2 car parks,
- low maintenance with less facilities ( canbe pros or cons)
- convenient. Carefour, Jusgo, banks and food court within walking distance.
- very low risk of uncompletion. Almost completed, roof work now.

Cons: - VM1 got lots of complaint about finishing, developer promised to improve in VM2 but never know the result, but they do change the exterior wall from foam blocks to bricks.
- Small time developer.
- Could be congested with VM1 and First residence next to it.

FR : Pros: - Most luxurious condo in Kepong area with 3 tier security, and lots of facilities. ( can be pros or cons)
- so so experianced developer, construction going smooth, can see monthly updates photos from their website.
- convenient. Carefour, Jusgo, banks and food court within walking distance.
- low risk of incompletion. structure up to 10th floor already, fully completed in Dec 2011.

Cons : - price is quite high in kepong area, starting from 230k.
- maintenance is high with 0.25 cents/ft.
- quite high density with very long walkway.
- only face east or west, anyway facing the sun everyday.
- most units come with only 1 car park. additional need to pay for it.

Both development still have very few units available 3 months ago but dunno now, you can check.

good luck

thanks for the comment is really useful...
erm actually i dun reli prefer kepong area i would prefer cheras/puchong area and i'm buying for investment only..
this is because i am not familiar with kepong area as i grown up in cheras area

Then why would you consider Kepong Sentral? You think you get a good deal by spending 195k on a 240k condo?

Investment in condo at Kepong area does not fetch good return. For own stay ok.

no lah there were this lot which the design is up to my liking...so ma consider lor...but i still looking...u hv any suggestion?

for own stay, near cemetery o, how good it will be...
for investment, price even lower than launching price..

so...better dun buy

it's not the age of the cemetery it's the eerie sight of the tombstones that counts

googled 4 'Kepong Sentral Condo' n found this great pretender

If you stay in Cheras, better look around Cheras, at least you are more familiar with the area.

You ask me for suggestion? I already gave you two of the lattest development at Kepong area that I think is good. Most of the kepong area condo/apartments are either low cost, bad location or looks very run down. For the past 2-3 years the Negro community started to grow, you would like to avoid those aparments.

thanks for your comment.

Yea.. especially those condo/apt near Jusco..

Recently developer selling 962sf units again at RM204K. Can loan 240K (valuation). Good value?

Developer selling again???still available ar???

I just booked one at the higher floor unit . Only RM189K.

Bank loan approved is RM216K, S&P is RM240K

I kind of like the location.

Is this condo where the women was murdered last 2 days? How's the security here?

"murdered", can elaborate more? any link to the news? scary betul la, it is a negro nest now

still got RM189k?

I was told lower floor still have limited units.

I was told mine units was rented out to sudents by the developer and only open out for selling recently.

mine is 10th floor above.

Replying on the negro. don't see may negro stay in this condo. Most of them belong to the nearby apartments. ( I could be wrong as I only being there 3 times so far)

The maintenance of the condo worry me a bit. But hope once the JMC set up lio. Better maintenance later D.

One the murder case? Can someone confirm this?

Guys think twice if you're buying here. There are lots of negros and those bangla workers staying there. You can actually notice this at night when those indon workers chilling at downstair and hangout at mamak...

hi..

so u buy the unit d?
is it good?

What you said is true.

Added on January 5, 2012, 2:53 pmI hope it is good. As it is just next to KTM. With jam everywhere and limited car park . More and more people using public transport.

I was told that basic unit rent can reach 6% ROI with no problem of finding tenant wo.

I done some finding. The african and the indonesian are from nearby low cost/ meduim flat. Not from the condo.

The murder case is the shoplot near mamak. Not from this condo

But the security guy at this condo below satisfaction. They only control people travel in vehicle. not those walking / motobike. Very bad la.

A simple question to ask yrself before buying:

If u have a pretty wife or sister, do u think it would it be safe for them to take the lift going in-out of your unit? Note the same question will also be asked by tenants if you plan to rent out.



Case history:
I have a friend who used to stay in apt of this calibre. Every time his wife comes back from work alone, she would be harassed by a foreign worker telling her dirty jokes, asking for phone no. etc. They eventually moved out.

This post has been edited by peet: Jan 5 2012, 04:07 PM

This is the apartment with the grand view of the cemetery & oxidation pond. Developer had hell lots of problem selling. That is why they rented their leftover units out and slowly sell if possible. Not sure bout your 10th flr unit, maybe it is facing inwards rather than outwards so it would avoid the view.

If money is a factor and that is the most that you could afford, then so be it as each individual has their own priorities.

Why do u think the units here are so much cheaper compare to nearby apartments??

Yes agreedwith this. Eventhough the bangla not from this condo. Judging from the outside environment will freak u out especially at night time. Go and do 1 round if you dont trust me.

look like I have done a wrong decision.

I have signed the s&p - 4 units in total.

Initially I plan to connect all the four units together. Do some partition to add 2 more room with 5 rooms per units and collect rent each month.

My target is working adult or student with 8% ROI per units as the condo is so cheap.

Now look like my plan is not that possible due to bad decision.

How is your investment doing for the 4 condo? Rent to indon or local?

wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh rm240K is toooo xpensive. the current price is only rm190K according to the major banks. nothing outstanding also.

So far so good.

Some students and some working adults.

I am rather shock that i managed to get 8% return based on purchases price+ some renovation after utilities/unifi & mainatenace fees. This is even better compare with my serdang perdana apartment only get 7% return.

I was also told my one agent that the condo value have increase for that last 4 months. Don;t know true or not.

I can see some rent potential when the Sales Tax start, Petrol price hike, More worst traffic during MRT construction stages and the imrpoving KTM services.

But provided no economy down turn.

Added on April 27, 2012, 10:20 amNo wo.

I managed to get loan 216K ( Rm240 x90%) for all 4 units.

& that was Dec 2011 leah?

Where did you get the info ah? & the value of the condo have go up leah. According to one agent la.

I just check the iproperty. seem like some increase in value ah



This post has been edited by yankicip: Apr 27 2012, 10:20 AM

which agent will tell you the property wont go up ? you tell me...agents are the ones that make the market of property go worst.

I am actually hoping property price will drop further. I am considering buying some more for renting out.

but this area strategic place meh ? kepong, hhhmmmmm, sounds like one fo those not so strategic chinese place...wah u so rich hor...

so you mean you buy subsale one lah ?

This place is not ok only for own stay. But renting out look ok wo. So appreciation is not great.

But look at this :


My wife have done something call weigthed average of this condo , data from iproperty.

The value from oct 11, Nov drop, Dec drop and up again from Jan to April. ( Maybe you can do the same with May 2012 later to double check with my wife computation)


Weighted Average per unit.

With Auction W/O Auction unit
Oct 178.51 185.22
Nov 164.20 175.22
Dec 161.14 170.15
Jan 166.20 176.28
Feb 191.27 201.44
March 208.25 219.54
April 221.05 232.39

All sold habis, so sure is subsale la.

this place like not worth to buy also....how much is the monthly maintenance ?

dont think this project is habis sold out lah by developer. developer words one word also kenot trust one. i still remember until last month they still set up a store in KL Sentral to sell units.

Cant sell the units ... what to do ..?

actually many says that KTM is one of it's selling point for this condo, does anyone used KTM before ? i mean NOT LRT, but KTM....do you ? as a buyer, I wont even think that having KTM as a selling point. OMG, even after having those new and "longer" coaches, the service is still the same, maybe "little" more better....

a lot of people when buy property just main hemtam only, later their units kena lelong, i just dont understand why people are being so silly.

Agreed that KTM services is very bad.

That's way this condo is still below bank valuation.

But I see it the other way. In my opinion , The KTM worst cycle is late2011 and early 2012 and look like it won't back to history given the fact that govt

1) is setting up body like pasarana and we the people push for better public transport
2) and the govt seem realised this pressure from rakyat. good public transaportation
3) KTM will have this intergrate ticketing with lrt, monorail within this year
4) group of population student/ office worker just have no option. The KTM is cheap and reasonable services for them.

If the KTM can achieved target of 10min schedule as plan in July onward. Imaging the value of those aprtment beside KTM? will still undervalue?

I am investing in this condo is for rental. It is what those poor student / working adult need. Good location, Easy to get transport, cheap/ affortable for them, reasonable safe and etc.

More and more people have no choice. with heavy traffic, price petrol up up, property up up, tol every where, parking up up and more things up when the govt sales tax started. Just take a ride with KTM to Mid Valley the next time you go. Don't drive. You will see many people are using KTM actually. So "does anyone used KTM before ? " Actually more and more people using KTM la.

As all my investment is less than 1 km from KTM station and mostly invest in medium cost aprtment. I have done lots of study before buying each one. Example some newspaper April 2010/ April 2011 & April 2012 to show you how details my study cover.

You got to see what is your investment target, I could be silly for you. My invetment so far so good until now and you got to do your home work and your sily might not be my sily.

Ya Allah.....and the resident is the one paying for the bills. you see how desperate developer has become ?

I have collected 5 years newspaper as my study as provent. I would like to highlight , I am not the type of saying what I want here.

I was at the Bersih 3.0 also. The train is so pack. The aircon is not cool. But it does bring me to Kuala Lumpur station and join the bersih3.0.

So does some people that I meet all the way from Seremban. Imaging if everyone using KTM, sure u sare shouting OMG bad services la.

Like you have said " cakap saja senang bila mahu buat apa pon tak ada.....kerana Malaysia BOLEH !" changed the govt is what we should be doing.

im afraid if change to opposition, the property price will continue to rise. Just like what happen to Penang...it is indeed scary.

This post has been edited by Dern: Apr 30 2012, 10:11 AM

Oh.................

Don't worry. Property will rise but your Income will rise faster with new opposition.

im even more worry when you say like that.....gaji is not determine by opposition(you think all companies will not run away if the opposition come out with a new policy on this ?). I think there's a danger in opposition.

Ok,

I got to stop after posting this. Pls do some fact finding before posting.

Look at Singapore. Higher salary , all foreign companies run away? Penang is copying what Singapore is doing la.

I am an uncle that at retired ages with spm qualification. I can think of such simple economy theory

sigh....freind ..read more.

One good website is www.economist.com

dont sigh la uncle :0

but dont compare singapore and malaysia, it is huge difference uncle. seriously.

take the number of population itself already a big difference

Oi... Seems like the discussion ran far away from the title... Anyone know what's the current market value of Kepong Sentral??

So we discussing Election ? Opposition ? KTM or Kepong Sentral ?

Cheers bro. How much is it now?

Not very sure.

i plan keeping it for few years.

I saw iproperty offer higher now but u never trust those agents la.

Rental play ok now and will be more ok as the Ktm service improved already.

This post has been edited by robotictang: Jan 19 2013, 02:32 PM

this condo seems kinda like haunted :\

Why say so ?
Actually where is it ? I though Kepong is very 'Wong' as got Tesco, Big Aeon etc and many eateries.
Can someone post the photo when passing by ?

haunted? not sure. but everywhere i go, i always heard haunting stories. thank to Movie la.

kepong indeed very "wong". the prop price in kepong went up significantly over the past few years. for a condo name with < 300K price tag, i think kepong sentral might be "do-able". places like my aunt's place, Prima Magna Apartment (can't really remember the name) with security guard which is 900++ sqft and more than 10 years old is selling 300K++ now. First residence is selling >400K. Plaza Metro Prima also priced at >300K. it is indeed very "wong". also, it mean traffic. Traffic jam everywhere in kepong. that's why i seldom wanna go to kepong. hehe. eateries, yes. awesome if you are non-muslim. cheers mate.

But this "cheapest sentral among all sentrals" is a black nest. Still remain so today

How much is vista magna condo at the moment?
Worth the buy?

My tenant said k s dont have pak hitam

those pak hitam stayed in nearby low cost flat n shop lot.

k s is one of my rental best investment

I used to hear noises at night there :\ n yes full of Rubbing Bangla people there :\

HI,

Anyone here staying in Kepong Sentral ? I wana know more about that place.


How safe is it ? I see some pay hitam loitering near the shops. Heard that owners don't rent out to foreigners thought.

Any ee-rie feeling ? ;-)


Generally, the condo looked abit worn out but it looks ok for the price except for the cemetery beside it.

i juz bought one unit and planning to move in after cny...
this shld consider as medium cost apartment, not condo.
although outside is worn out, but my unit (interior) is very well maintained
the whole kl is full of pak hitam, not only kepong... malaysia boleh
everywhere is the same, robbery also happens in gng community...

hurm.ohk. good luck to you One good advantage u have, is the train station is just by your shoulder.

The presence of pak hitam around kepong eateries are too obvious mate. very soon they will be majority there i guess..hahah.

Any opinion on this property here : Vista Magna Condo

My tenant said so far no pak hitam live inside kepong sentral.

All my units tenant out are either ofix workers work in kl sentral or mid valey.

kepong sentral go there direct. Just 90m from ktm station.

now mgmt seem got some improve.

I think this condo is good bet for mrt2.

i plan to keep for at least 10 years. Good for rental.

i plan to increase to 1380pm when conteact renew. Workable?

This post has been edited by tikaram: Jan 23 2014, 12:19 AM

Oh,yea. Kepong Sentral does go straight into KL sentral. Good ler..

I think the rental range there is about 1200/1300 ringgit. I see many ad's out there about the price.
Should not be much issue i guess if ur interiors are good.

my friend offer me a unit at 1st floor, facing pool at RM 240k. Is it worth to take it?

considering that d auction price for 962 sq ft in Kepong Sentral is ald RM195-RM210k, RM240k shud b good.
but is it noisy in the first flr?

I also think 240k is good bargain. It is 6.5 % rental yield.

this condo super easy to rent out due to ktm just next door 2 minutes walking

This post has been edited by tikaram: Mar 2 2014, 09:04 PM

Saw newspaper keep mentioned kepong sentral mrt 2

Sin chew. The star. The edge.

look like kepong sentral when mrt2 announce price can go up to 350k

I think RM240k is good just that please get the one facing KTM or sri ehsan. I think those facing cemetery will not be that pleasant

240k cant even get Facing cementery due to mrt2 is just 100 meters distance

Master title until now

Thanks for the info

Is MRT2 re-aligned to have a station in KS? I was confused when our PM announced MRT2 to start from Selayang.
