Thanks taiko for all the reply =).

Surething, any new landed development that's going on laman putra sec 7, sec 9 and 10 ?

Here's some of the observations and surveying that we've done:

basically we wanted to find a home that's in between our working place (Puchong Puteri & Kampung Jawa). Gf wanted a landed property and preferably new. I was thinking if we get a good and new property, we can stay there for maybe 30 years? Hence, save on any future moving costs and renovation cost.

First we considered houses that's nearest to the KESAS exit, as we don't want to waste our time spending time on the road. (A 3km journey sums up quite a bit over 30 years). We ended up shortlisted Putra Heights and Kemuning Utama @ Kota Kemuning.

Putra Heights Prop:
Putra Bistari - Best road accessibility for us but the house are a bit old.
Putra Avenue - similar to Putra Bistari but houses are newer
The Mews - Best place and road accessibility
Grandis Palm - Similar to the mews

Since we figure out that we are going to stay for a long period of time, we don't really care much about the prop price increase or resale value. Which means that Townhouse/Terrace pretty much works out the same for us, and home quality will be more important than home value.

The Mews townhouse psft price seems to be cheaper than terrace. But the maintainence fees is quite expensive. We then evaluate this way: Assume that we are paying RM100k more for the property (interests @ 4.75% which translate to around RM500 per month to contra off the maintainence fees), will the property be stilll justifiable?

Well, we haven't finalize yet so will like to hear all the taiko's here opinion =).
*
If budget is not a problem go for The Mews in The Glades bro as it is gated & guarded. Sime is subsidising I think 50% of the maintenance fee for a certain period of time. What I heard is they are trying to bring down the maintenance fees as this is one of the main complaints for buyers in The Glades. It's definitely worth getting a prop in The Glades bro as the landscaping I heard is very nice, tight security with CCTV. We PH residents always envy the residents in The Glades!

No more new landed prop in PH bro, unless u try Kingsley Hill located at the hill next to The Glades or Marvelane Homes near The Glades also. In future, all launches in PH by Sime will be high rise.

Maintenance fees is quite scary, especially if you think about even after 50% subsidy given, the maintenance fee is similar to other G&G houses , and that's for townhouse .. For people who has to pay 5-7k loan , adding RM500 is actually alot. Really like the environment of the place though , very relaxing and unique
*
No choice lo bro if the b/up is huge, I think the JMB should bring down the maintenance fee or else TG will be ghost town nobody want to stay there! I was told they changed the formula for calculating the fees either from b/up to land area or vice versa cant remember to bring it down.

Dont forget the maintenance of TG is not cheap, I think one of the expensive one to maintain is the vacuum system ie no garbage trucks are needed to collect the rubbish from your home and garbage will be sucked from your home to a central garbage collection point. Some more with big gardens, CCTV and landscaping, very sui thumbup.gif Poor folks like me can only see TG from outside in admiration! sad.gif

My 0.02 cents
Units Design:
No doubt The Glades is a very nice project. The Mews ground floor(Type B) has very big build up of 3498sqf. But is single floor only.
Also is located on lower ground. Some ppl cannot accept this.

The upper units buildup, Type A has 3315sqf and 3208sqf (Type A1). These are double storey design with a room upstairs. The not so nice thing is the entrance is located below the staircase. Not many ppl can accept this.

If you are planning to stay there for 30years, I suggest taking ground floor. Easier on the knee when you are old smile.gif

Pls note, avoid choosing the units near the LRT entrance at one end.
Some of these units had cracks on them during the LRT construction period. SDP has done the touch up but just to be safe.
At the opposite end, a condo project is planned, South Brookes.

Location:
The Glades has one of the best, if not the best location.
Walking distance to LRT and a mere 15minutes drive to Sunway Piramid. Neighborhood mall, we have Main Place. The new Chinese school is also about 2 to 3 km away.
Pavilion 2 in Bukit Jalih is about 20km away.
Your mentioned location is also very close but Kampung Jawa may take abit longer.

Price:
Expensive. This is because it is in a mature and established township.
In regards to the maintenance fee, I'm not sure I get your point.
Normally, ppl will have passive income e.g. rental income to take care of the maintenance fee. To pay maintenance from your main income is not advisable because u need to pay as long as you stay there with no option to cancel. To make matter worse, maintenance fee goes up along with other things.
Whatever free maintenance period SDP is giving should not be a deciding factor unless you plan to sell in a few years or they give u 5 yrs free.

Other options:
Have you consider other cheaper option around PH as mentioned by bro BRE. Section 7 is also a good choice but subsale option are very limited. Do consider the option of saving the money for investment in other projects property?
There are other projects that are similar to The Glades but location wise may lose out to The Glades. I would not be so fix on finding home near my work location, I rather find work near my home smile.gif

Lastly, attached image on The Mews brochure just in case u need it.

Godd points by bro LS ! thumbup.gif I like your point of finding work near the home rather than the other way round, but most of the good jobs are in KL leh, at least in the industry that Im working in, so cannot be so near lo!

HomeTree by BCB
Project launched sometime in 2013
1st phase called Long Branch.
Mostly bungalow.
I pass by this project every morning as it is located less then 1km from my factory.
One of the entrance is in front of a small roundabout where the factories are located. Also next to this entrance is low cost flats.
There is another entrance further up which is close to some low medium cost apartment and some DSLH.
Location is quite OK but look out for those units near the roads.
I don't like those units that are too close to the main roads.

Please note this is a leasehold Project.
I have a copy of the brochure, I can email to you if you are interested.
*
So this project is in KK and surrounded by industrial area?

I am interested to buy the left unit at The Glades The Mews ground floor townhouse.
There are some left over units with discount, selling even lower than the launching price.
Also I saw the the defect on the flooring. Looks like a termite issues.
Any existing owner at The Mews can give any feedback or comment?
Thanks.

That's me concern. Why sell below launching? By looking at SimeDarby profile they are not desperate to get rid of the units.
Even the Superlink and semi-d discount is quite substantial.
Anyone stay there and has any comment about the area?
*
Sa said d reason they have difficulty selling is nt bcos of d price its bcos of d high maintenance fee due to d huge b/up. i thnk d glades is a nice area, near chinese n international schools n easy access to elite hway. If nr bcos of budget i wud have bought a unit to stay there

Actually it is 10+5 discount. The termite issue is prevalent in The Glades, and SDP actually taken their initiative to appoint dedicated termite specialist for The Glades to tackle this issue for each house that is affected.

U bought a unit here bro? 10%+5% is still a lot easily saved 100k+
