If that is the case, we have to base on the aesthetic value of the house or our first impression then.

Buying leasehold property also have to pay more in term of legal fees.

So anyone buying 8B?Mind sharing your thoughts?

Went to MAPEX this afternoon, 2 storey type left 3 unit 2 intermediate 1 facing garden and 1 corner unit. Got to be quick for those who r interested, saw the model of the house quite nice and contemporary. Quite unique concept, though it's 2 storey but when u r inside, u will feel like it's a 2.5 storey house that's what the salesperson told me. Ceiling height for living room is 13ft. Pretty Impressive! Best of all it's FREEHOLD

Wow, sell like hotcake! any other new development u see in MAPEX?

Not much, those new launching are quite a distance away like nilai n rawang. the exhibition is quite small actually, oh ya there's one new launching at USJ 1 call Riverdale, 16 storey condo they also have link house n semi-d but will only launch later. By the way it's Leasehold.

Latest update!

TPP is at Lot 5321& 5322

I read a reply somewhere that these 2 lots origin land is a mining land! But developer said it's a real estate land. This could translate the land originally not a real estated, instead being converted to one.

Please, anyone could confirm?

Thanks for the info bro, i think ther is a tread discussion on the Riverdale here.

Added on October 25, 2010, 11:15 amwhen i was in TPP many years ago, i remember a agent is showing me a master plan, showing that some phase is mining land some phase is not, but i am not really study it that time, maybe you can try ask and see. but guess what, i believe around that area, incl TPP and TTP a lot of houses is on ex-mining land, but i been living in puchong for 5 yrs, so far i nvr hear house missing or house fall apart case, so even if it is ex-mining land, i think it is still pretty solid with proper claimed.

@Apscen
For houses built on the mining land, only time will tell. Or when there are heavy rain non stop for a few days, that's when we know if it's a mining land.

Anyone, appreciate your input on what kind of land is TPP... I have checked with MP Sepang and no one is able to provide me an exact answer. Only those stay nearby knows the previous land origin of TPP.

if you want safe n freehold, around that area, i think your best choice is bukit puchong, closer to highway, 100% ex-plantation land, but no new development so far.

Yeah bukit puchong is 100% X plantation land, it's quite obvious if u have been to bukit puchong, Not as much lake as TTP or TPP. As for TPP, I guess it just happened to sit on estate land, otherwise it will not be Freehold. Don't think land title can just simply change from leasehold to Freehold. Anyway like what Apscen mentioned earlier on, there shouldn't be any problem with ex mining land. If u r buying a landed property, u shouldn't even worry. Don't forget The Wharf will have 3 block of 22 storey high-rise condominium, if there's really problem with ex mining land the developer will definitely first to know and will not proposed any high rise condominium on ex mining land. A good example, the whole Sunway development is built on ex mining land. So does Sunway high end development at The South Quay.

very true, even ioi mall, tesco and the whole stretch of new and old shop office also under ex-mining land, and the new shop office is selling close to 3 mil developer price. we have witness ex-mining land has since transform to golden land.

Any development in mind? if u r planning to own a property in Puchong area or if u r considering either Cascadia or TPP Phase 8B, you gonna be fast coz limited unit left. It's best you drive around that area to get a feel of that area perhaps to Bukit Puchong as well. Naturally your instinct will decide which environment suits you more.

I have actually considering to purchase TPP Phase 8B. After considering so many factors, I think I would not want to proceed. Afterall the property market is still very hot in the market, it's time to save up more bullets and wait for the bubble burst.

if you are looking for new landed property in decent location,my opinion is get it as soon as you can, there is lesser and lesser land in klang valley now, for example, development in puchong area has since goes toward cyberjaya direction, d'alphina and 16 sierra double storey tag at 500k++, suria tropika tag at 430k+....if u dun mind sub sales house, there is lot of choice.

The worst scenario i can see is the property market will go stagnant in 5 yrs time, but dun expect it to burst, ppl buying power is up and have lot of reserved money, and investor holding power is also strong, lot of cash rich singaporean is invest in klang valley property now. this kind of ppls will not simply dump their house even if crisis hit again.

if the market will burst, it should has happen when the recent crisis hit the peak on first quarter 2009, where lot of ppl lost their job, some work 3 days, and get a pay cut of 40%, when lot of ppls expect property market to crash, but they dun realized the market is actually slowly climbing up until this recent high. y?? land is lesser, reserved money is healthy, who want to sell it at loss?

just my opinion, those have different thinking can completely ignore it.

I used to think that way too, I mean save up more bullet and invest later. The thing is when me and my partner went for some property launches, we're shock to hear the current prices for property. Property hike way too drastically until there seems like nothing we can afford. Our money or saving can never catch up with the recent property hike, it goes up way too quickly. For 2-Storey link house it's easily cost you Min RM500K for a decent location. Places like Damansara, Putra Heights, Subang are already no way near my budget. Unless I'm looking at places like Rawang, maybe still can find a 250k link house. So me and my partner decide to invest a house instead of earning that little interest from bank. Still, most important thing is choose the one you like la. Don't force if you really have doubt on the location, coz u don't want to end up regret buying an expensive property YET you don't really feel good about the location. Pick somewhere you feel good about it yet fits your budget . It's alot of money not buying Vegetable ... hehe..

@patmos
Thanks for your input. I am buying a property on my own, so I am considering a few factors e.g. area, distance from work, resell value, developer, land origin of the house etc etc... I am not in a hurry to purchase a house at the moment

Which area have you picked at the moment? TPP?

Trust your instinct and buy. The more you think, the more you won't buy.

I HAVE BOOK 1, now looking for a loan...

2.5 storey, tpp, phase 8b..

i miss the early bird , now have to pay for the price

mine is 569k

is it expenisve?

the price is just as what I got for the same property. i think nowadays price for house is really crazily high.
from the sales person update, seems that the current price of the property in Phase 8B is higher, something like 620k with 30k discount if i am not mistaken.

i wasn't sure about the early bird price, but as far as i know, from their blogsite, the launch price was 588k. the 19k was the early bird discount i thought.
