No, m not die-hard fan for BK, there must hv right judgement for different area and different Taman, Kinrara new hse with new design (slightly modern facade, with better quality building materials like clay roof tiles) shd fetch 15%-20% higher than old hse, my fair judgement BK1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 old hse shd be RM280-RM300 / sf, and new hse like BK9, Hening, Melodi, Desiran, Sapphire, Emerald, Sentosa, MV shd be at RM330-RM350/sf  max "Now"

In short, BK9 (Senja, Sinar, Spektra, Warna, Cahaya) Hening are overpricing (>350/sf), Qaseh RM950K for 2799sf = 340 / sf, I think it is just fine for own stay, investment, very very susahlah...

Yoki, I share my simple view, given Location is constant factor applied

House design same : F/H vs Leasehold - F/H 30% better
House design same : F/H gated vs Leasehold - F/H 60% better
House design same : F/H vs Leasehold gated - F/H 15% better
House design same : F/H vs Leasehold g+g+club hse concept- F/H 5% better
House design same : F/H vs Leasehold gated - F/H 15% better

Q'aseh Vs Kinrara Residence[
Access (locality) : Q'aseh win
Quality : equal
Density : equal (both 50ft' road reserved)
Concept (club hse) : KR win
security : KR win
Layout : KR win
Facade : KR win

summary : KR (3-sty link) = RM275/sf, Q'aseh 24'x80' = RM340/sf

KR has clear advantage

from dev point of view, 3s is built using less land, giving higher density, usually lower $per sqft, more margin than 2s.
some come with lift which will incr price by 150k or so, not forgetting maintenance cost later.
if large family, elderly people will not like 2nd or 3rd level.
large families with adults each driving a car, say 5 cars - think about parking space.
if the row has many cars, imagine the mess along the road.
all these will affect subsale.
majority by far prefer 2s with a bigger space per flr.

Haha UFO-ET, I know you are a loyal BJ/Kinrara area fan. I am one too actually. But don't you think the price in Kinrara area especially Kinrara Residence is skyrocketing like there is only that piece of land available in the entire Malaysia nation.

948K up

not launching, remaining

I dun agree, I bought early for 888K, now 968K - 988K after show house ready, overall we dare to bet with TMS as she is quite proven in theirs quality, Garden Residence is very convincing, I just not satisfy with the main door, the rest like ceiling height, finishing, lock-set, sanitary items etc are good..some more if the show house really turn out terrible, I can just cancel the deal losing 1K, m 90% satisfy

I am quite disappointed with the finishings specially the 2 storey Semi D flooring. What kind of cheap wood material they are giving, might as well use tiles instead. Overall OK except the finishings e.g doors, flooring.

Hope Mah Sing will rectify them before everybody start complaining. Even the 2 Storey Terrace at Melodi Bandar Kinrara finishings are better !!!!!!!!

Nolah...you probably misunderstood, 2-storey hse upgrade only cost the existing buyers 28K only, to enjoy all those benefits, dun you think it is not wise? Anyway this is personal choice

I talk for syiok sendiri only... For own stay also, good luck to those investor.

But question again, will u be tempted to sell if someone offer u 50% higher than your purchase price?
