One of the key reason for me to choose KR is the 50ft wide road, it is hard to find in Puchong / KL nowadays. Parking 2 cars in front of your house without blocking neighbors.

My advice : Buy.

Most of the BKs zone hv formed theirs' respective RA, there are bout 10 of them, we (BK4) formed our RA in 2000, BK5 Selatan formed in 2002, BK5B in 2003, all started quite "o.k", after a series of fund raising hardwork, we managed to secure 62% of residents to join the guarded security programme, both BK5 manage to achieve 50%++, fr the 1 day of the security operation, the number of members has dropped gradually to 45% after 4-5 years, both BK5 even drop below 40%.
Last month, BK4 RA was officially dissolved, no more guards patrolling anymore. BK5 (1/3 members) is struggling at the moment. Quality neighborhood is very important to ensure the prosperity of a Taman.

KR starts off with security services, I believe every house purchaser is aware of the responsibility to bear the maintenance cost, greater awareness as compared to those BK areas.

My house was broken in when I stay in BK4 (alarm installed). My maid was "stolen" by the agency this year in BK5B, I lost 11K, too many incidents happened in BK. 

I agreed, quality of the neighbourhood is more impartant than lease or free hold.

My area RA is very strong and hardworking, they work hard to secure at least of the residents to pay the security. After few years they manage to save some money and install auto gate. Very good job from RA to improve the security. After the autogate i can see the pay residents go up to 70-80%. however this has cause unconvienient to non pay resident and their visitor. There is one guy keep complaining to majlis to take action on gate and guard system, frequent complain from the guy force majlis no choice but to act according to rules and given notice to our RA to uninstall the gate and dismiss the guards. Now my RA feel upset after all the hardwork and get this kind of results, they all given up and all want to resign from their post. Few weeks later my area got no gate no guards becoz of one guy, i will be planning to move out if that really happened.

Conclusion is if the area didnt start as gng it will make it difficult to make it as gng later dependent on how is your neighbourhood quality and what do they think ...

Renovating house is always very headache, as an agent, I used to see my buyers who falls into contractor's trap which end up with over budgeting. In the past we usually over budget 30%-50% when we renovate our house, in most recent yrs, many house owners hv incurred 50%-100% above budget.

You are always welcome. I know BK / KR / Bkt Jalil very well. FOC advice for you!

Valuer is more conservative, sometimes they dun understand the market also.

Valuer - Judge the value based on "mkt theory"
Agent - Judge the value based on "mkt response"
Banker - No ability to judge the value, they only follow Valuer / developer's instructive
Seller - Their selling price is determined by their holding power

semi-d & bungalow is under g&g - hence jmb take charge.
2.5 & 3 ssl are only guarded - hence ra take charge.

jmc is represented by residents & developer - and together they form jmb.

don't pay, jmb will not pick-up your garbage technically!!!
