Hi let's discuss melaka property here. Currently many on going project in melaka such as faith view limbongan project, rumbia sun power project, teo brothers cheng permai business park, merdeka permai business park and etc.. which one you look good? share your thought please.

any 1 own property in tmn krubong perdana? nowdays melaka housing price is terrible....

terrible means dropping or increase dramatically?

lol, increasing i mean, especially for the shop lot, juz wonder melaka really gt this kind of market?

Need some time. Melaka now more emphasize in tourist industry. I believe still a high risk investment as melaka own population is not enuff to support.

those new develop area once launching already sold out, no matter which area, really terrible, i think this "bubble" will pecah very soon

Supply more than demand haha. We need some big mnc

Melaka very small only....scare of land

Anyone heard of Taman Paya Rumput Perdana. Freehold bungalows going for RM400k, gated and guarded. Buying for investment can or not? Is this development considered reasonable in terms of pricing in Melaka?

Anyone has vacant industrial building or land in Melaka? Even if it's ready made building is ok too.

im buying one of the bungalow

Phase 1 or 2? When ready? Still deciding whether to go ahead to purchase or not. Seemed pretty good for own stay. Investment wise, may ve to wait a while i guess to see any substantial increase in price. The show room is great.

i bought the phase 1. when i signed the SPA. the developer said that it will be ready end of the year. surprisingly, maybe the TPRP is selling like hot cakes, last week when i go to the site. the house now 45% and the new target is in July 2012

Good choice bro, July 2012 is like 5 months away only, thats great. Not many non-Bumi units left for Phase 2 except for Type Q which is RM550k. Suprised with the sales progress since the average price is higher than the average landed units in Melaka. I guess that many ppl working in KL and Singapore are buying this development for retirement purposes.

i've hunting a property @ melaka since early 2011. my earlier interest is @ Krubong. my i heard so many -ve responds such as dumpsites, flood area and far from the town. then i narrow down my searching to belimbing setia and TPRP. my criteria is double storey bungalow. belimbing setia is considered as outskirt from melaka and i hate the word "belimbing" .. i fell in love with TPRP design. its modern and freehold. A lot of my friends envy me because i get a beautiful house below 500k

Bandar Utama Cheng is never in my list because of its ols skool design, leasehold and the price is much higher coz people said that developer is the main dev @ melaka.

I dont like the Quartz because it looks like a factory to me. but the land is big!

Anyone knew whats the name of development beside the new expressway? Saw it just on the left side when im ontheway to Ayer Keroh toll from the expressway.

Could be my holiday house

if u could be more specific, u are coming from where to ayer keroh. coz recently the are many construction @ melaka. do u mean the AMJ expressway?

Im along the airport before i turn into the expressway and another turn im out to the tol

Agree with u that we can't get similar design properties in Melaka nowadays. Suprised how near this development is to Ayer Keroh.

Pros: Freehold, nice design, gated and guarded, reasonable pricing, near to both Alor Gajah and Ayer Keroh tolls, good access road via AMJ highway, a developer with a good track record (main con for MJC township in Kuching), near to Tesco, Cheng/Krubong/Paya Rumput is considered an upcoming area with good potential for further increase in property prices.

Cons: 15 km away from Melaka town which is considered quite a distance in Melaka terms, more than 1,000 units i.e. competition if you want to flip, lack of public amenities within 2 km, no freebies/DIBS/rebate, some bungalows built-up area feels like semi-D units.

Anyway, how is "paya rumput" name sounds nicer than "belimbing"?

Added on February 8, 2012, 3:23 pmCould it be Vista Kirana? Same developer with Taman Paya Rumput Perdana.

hahahaha... my mistake. i always compare PERDANA with SETIA.. we can use the alternative route from tanjung minyak to get to the town. but i agree..no rebate as if the dev knew that people will buy their project no matter what. i can see a lot of singaporean cars at the show unit during weekends ..ayoooo...cheng is less than 2km lorrr..so many bank over there. plus the developer also build 2 rows of shoplots at the entrance of TPRP. maybe it took times to fully operational lorrr

I think from the site, the banks and shops is about 3 km away, just feel a bit far if we want to get something, hopefully the shops in the development will be vibrant. For ppl working in SG, this is dirt cheap, less than SGD200k can buy d, must pay a visit again to the showroom. When I was there last time, seemed like they are constructing a basketball court.

Anyone heard of muzzafar height in Ayer keroh? The location is not bad and they are currently coming out with new launches.

No lah..im staying @ cheng now. less that what they mentioned.

Any additional details or website? A leasehold project right?

Yup, leasehold. Link:http://www.scientex.com.my/ScientexHeights/ScientexHeights_upcoming.html

My friend bought a single storey 290k binglow at paya rumput which i think damn farken worth haha. Free hold sommore.

True. At least we malaccan can have a good house like what people in KL have.

Melaka new properties are normally much bigger than KL and 50% of the price. Only problem is normally further (>20 minutes) from town centre.

But I doubt house prices will escalate in Melaka. Shophouses will escalate though because of the demand for shops for tourists. But home prices should stay flat. IMO anyways.

how you all think bout sunpower 3 storey shop? how much it worth?

Haha...Paya Rumput is my hometown and initially i plan to buy Paya Rumput Perdana project before 1 of my friend warn me about the quit rent and cukai pintu for bangalow lot in Melaka. He work for the developer by the way.

Hi, nice to meet u all!! I bought 1 too, but mine is phase 2, type Q (i was late to decide and no more suitable type M left for me)...the architect is my relative.

I'm working in singapore as well but i grown up here in the kampung opposite...so proud to own a good house in my own area!

how much you bought the house? really cheap and nice bungalow tho. wahaha

i got it for RM522k, my ideal type M which is only cost around 450k, unfortunately type M only left with bigger land size costing 700k

how bout the management fee? will buy the house next time, now no money wahaha

$0.02 per square feet, with my land size 4500sqf (90x50), monthly management fee is RM90, but developer only look after for the 1st 2 years, then after the community of TPRP itself will have to decide about future. I'm quite worried as not much Malacca ppl willing to share the monthly fee...

Can you tell more about the quit rent and cukai pintu? Is it very expensive?

Hi, I'm being introduced to buy shop house near Kampung Gangsa. How's the market there?

where is kampung gangsa? how much you buy?

the architect is ur relative?? wah...send my regards to him/her. good job.

Added on March 13, 2012, 12:25 pmdont worry, i will pay for the fee.

---

Added on March 13, 2012, 12:27 pmi think the tax is higher because paya rumput is still consider in MBMB territory. buti heard that they will crrate another municipal called Jebat something..something

This post has been edited by hanieharis: Mar 13 2012, 12:27 PM

Sure, i will send him your regards!!

the bungalow price is cheap, RM277k that I think the quit rent is small and negligible.

yeah damn nice. anyone got shop lot at merdeka permai? whats the price now? roadside

Rotijohn, what is the average yield of shop lots in Melaka? Interested in going into commercial props in Melaka.

the rental is not very high yet in industrial area, average 1k to 2k(shop price 300k to 500k). but lotsa tourist coming in nowadays, tourist shop rental booming up like hell, around 10k to 15k(shop price more than 1M).

I feel that Melaka commercial properties are overpriced. The bubble will burst.

Yeah i think so. Some really expensive. And i find no reason why so expensive. Not a strategic location, but selling like crazy

I think for commercial props the rental yield shld correlate with the market price. Not sure about the rental yield in Melaka town. But the shoplots in Melaka Raya has appreciated crazily over the past 3 years. Just found this interesting thread, very updated news on Melaka properties.

Added on March 15, 2012, 3:26 pmYeah residential are still relatively cheap. Maybe it is all because of the tourist money that make the commercials so expensive.

Hi, I am interested in a new development near Ayer Keroh known as Vista Kirana. It is the same developer as Taman Paya Rumput. I am keen in one of the bungalow- cost RM707,000.00, which will be my retirement home. As I am from KL, I am not very familiar with the location and development around that area.

I have also visited Taman Paya Rumput showhouses but all the non bumi units have been sold out. However, we find Vista Kirana is more convenient as it is nearer to the toll exit, the only disadvantage- it is leasehold (remaining 88 years unexpired lease).

Appreciate any feedback.

Actually Paya Rumput to ayer keroh tol is quite near if u go through the AMJ highway, my relative (the architect) said more house with design similar to vista kirana & Taman Paya Rumput will be launch in these 2-3 years. he said this kind of design will be popular soon...

I like the vista kirana too but as a Malaccan, 88 years lease hold period is not really my taste.

Try to avoid place like Malim, Taman Merdeka, and some other areas near to the river, anytime ur house will trap in flood...

I booked a unit at the Bayou Lagoon Resort some time ago....and then loan application got rejected by 2 banks, then I cancelled booking and got refund. Rejections felt like warnings from the Property God. Call me superstitious.

Anyone have units there? It's a GRR scheme, block B is nearly completed by now I think.

It depends on what you want really, if it is a retirement home, just go for what you want...but for melaka's subsale market, it is kind of hard to sell leasehold properties...most malaccans prefer freehold properties...more emphasis compared to Klang Valley props i think...the first thing my friends and relatives ask when someone buy a new unit..Leasehold or Freehold?

so for capital appreciation wise, the paya rumput project has more legs to grow as it is a relatively new area whereas the Ayer Keroh is a matured area....pricing wise I think Vista Kirana is more expensive, which reflected the pricier land price..

Location wise, both are okay as it is still quite a distance to the proper Malacca town...actually taman paya rumput is nearer to kl compared to vista kirana..but vista kirana is nearer to the ayer keroh tol whereas paya rumput is about 15km to the alor gajah tol..but i don't think that nearer distance to toll booth should enjoy a premium price...

Vista kirana is a smaller project compared to paya rumput and yet the sales are slower compared to paya rumput perdana....already told you the market response to both projects which are quite similar in design.....

The paya rumput is sold out already? The last time I was there there was quite a few the Q type....and the odd lot types...I bought the M type by the way..

Added on March 16, 2012, 9:25 amWow, leasehold highrise in Bukit Katil selling for RM200k, what is the catch with this development?

Wow...no wonderr no M type left for me....u plan to stay or invest?

lkb,

Im also looking for a retirement home in melaka and im looking at the Taman Paya Rumput area. What's your opinion on the TPR after having visited the place?

Stay and invest....this prop will take sometime to appreciate to its potential value of RM750k to RM800k, maybe 5-8 years, so in the meantime, my family will stay there...

This post has been edited by Mikken: Mar 16 2012, 11:43 AM

oh, ur family staying there? u r not malaccan? buying this house is really burden when comes to renovation.
sometimes i will think it's too much to pay for this house and i should have buy 2 properties with these amount of $$

Only managed to view the show houses didn't really take a detailed look at the area and it's surroundings. I was more keen on vista kirana as it is a gated and guarded scheme with perimeter fencing and CCTV mounted at strategic locations. + its own exclusive club house. 

I also like the roads leading to it- lots of greenery with Melaka Perdana Resort on the right and Tiara Golf Resort on the left. Both these resort also have bungalow lots for sale and there is also semi detached and bungalows houses under construction for sale at the golf resort known as Tiara Ville. I have seen the semi detached show house, the resort is very nice but I am worried it may be too quiet.

TPR looks ok as it only consist of Bungalows & rhe design looks nice/modern- I like Amber & Quartz. IMO, TPR is value for money & it is freehold whereas VK is lease hold.  

Then looks like you already made up your mind. If it is retirement home, the leasehold and freehold status don't really matter, do they. Good luck with your purchase.

Ya, you are right, the status of the land doesnt really matter since it is not for investment purpose. If there is any capital appreciation in the future which will be likely due to the escalation of the cost of raw materials and labour, then is just a bonus for me. Thanks for your best wishes, in fact I have reserve the unit that I wanted with their sales ofice and will be dropping by next week to pay the deposit.

happy retirement in Melaka. it is a nice place really. similar properties cost 2-3 mil in klang valley.

Hi MLW, thanks for your advice pertaining to the flood prone areas.

As for Vista Kirana, I like the location and the road leading to it which looks scenic with lots of greenery, beside, it is fully gated & guarded with its own club house which fits my requirements. The only setback is the lease hold status, luckily it is not for investment purpose, otherwise, got to think twice.

By the way, any idea where will the new launching be in 2-3 years time as mentioned by you?

Totally agree with you that Melaka is a nice place to retire. Moreover, it is not too far from KL which I may need to go back once in a while.

I visited TPR show houses/office yesterday. I like the modern design and no-frills bungalows houses. Im looking at the single storey bungalow hses and the end-lot bumi lots phase 1 are still available. I find it very tempting to purchase one lot. Decision.

The sales people told me that the unsold bumi lots when completed would be released for sale to the public upon obtain of consent from the state government.

wondering how much Will the unsold bumi lot cost ? I think current price is at least 10k higher....

Yup true. The differences between 1st phase ans 2nd phase for the same design is 20k

http://www.facebook.com/TamanPayaRumputPerdanaPhase12

who put up the TPR in facebook, the developer or some loyal buyers?

MLW put it up. GJH still have a long way to go before they are marketing effectively via FB and Twitter. Anyway, maybe they don't need to market via FB and Twitter.

paya rumput there got high tension cable or not?

the fb page was put up by me, the main purpose is to provide a platform for all the buyers and resisdents in sharing thier thoughts especially when coming to solve the comunity problems.

i'm just a buyer, not a loyal 1...just hope there is a place for the comunity where i dont think GJH can provide.

I hope more buyers and resindents can join me as co-admin....just pm the fb page and we will comunicate there for futher actions.

Added on March 19, 2012, 6:40 pmthe high tension cable is near to the flyover infront tesco....i dun think it's near to the Taman. but definitely no flood risk, else the whole melaka is under water already...

Any1 know whos the developer for shop office that behind KFC & PizzaHut at Ayer Keroh? Those shops looks big and in a suitable area.

any updates on melaka properties?

no bro, my sister bought the sunpower side 3 storey shop.

Damn far to town bro.

Melaka's shoplot famous for being empty.

yeah bro, less entrepreneur here. lolz, but the price rising like crazy for the shop itself. now selling 850k.

My dad bought one corner shoplot beside the new Tesco at Cheng, the cheng's McD there for RM800K ++. Now i heard got people offer RM1.2M.

But i still think buying shoplot bit risky, many area like Pokok manga, Cheng industry area got a lot shoplot but mostly empty.

yeah very risky, for me i better take the money to invest in agriculture land. haha

Hi guys. My husband and I are also looking at retiring in Melaka....well, not for another 15 - 20 years We are currently working abroad and only return to Malaysia once a year for a short visit. We are thinking about getting the resort home like A Famosa villa so that we could lease back to Management in order to ensure the place will not be left vacant without any care for years. I didn't see very good review on the A Famosa resort on tripsadvisor though and it seems there are quite a few people trying to sell the place as well. Is there any similar place that you guys could suggest. Where in Melaka is considered a good neighbourhood.....where we could buy a house and perhaps turn it into a holiday rental place? Thanks.

Go hatten showroom. Can lease back to the management for hotel or homestay.

There's a blog on Taman Paya Rumput Perdana Phase 1 & 2. Good discussions for the prospective buyers.

http://mazalias.blogspot.com/search/label/...umput%20Perdana

any buyer for Taman Paya Rumput Perdana phase 2 receive letter from GJH regarding the "NO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL WORK"? they said they do not accept request for addition work because don’t want to delay the completion period of 24 months
a bit worried that initially I would like to ask for additional electric pots….i still haven’t decide but now they are giving this kind of letter…..dissapointed~~~

i juz bought a subsale house but no ppl stay b4 at krubong perdana, also from GJH, the wire at the db box there all kena cut and stolen

Just share some experience and two cent from me, I currently worked in KL, before bought the house in melaka, i did couple of research, as everyone aware the house in KL are extremely expensive, an old single storey teras house in kepong can sell > 400K now a day, consider send child to school and wife go to shopping complex or wet market almost not possible if you don't have a car, the traffic in KL are terrible, don't talk about traffic during rush hour. Therefore buy house in KL for retirement is not in my list.

1 day I saw gjh advertisement for Vista Kirana from newspaper, my family and i decided to drop by and have a look at the unit after visited many housing property e.g. puchong, cheras, kepong, klang and etc. when we reach Vista Kiran we were very impressed with the design and the environment, the work are excellent and compound are big, good scenery, windly, clean and quiet. We will aim for the unit type G (~700k) at that time, and then get to know the place at Paya Rumput perdana, after do the comparison, we bought unit at paya rumput perdana 2 (type Q), here is my summary for two places:

Vista Kirana Pros: good quality, worth for investment, can be weekend house, good return (after few year), high living standard and secure.
Vista Kirana Cons: leasehold, no hospital nearby, school nearby (~ 5km), no wet market nearby (except for Mydin), heavy jam during office hour as well as weekend.

Paya Rumput Pros: freehold, good quality, unifi ready, hospital nearby, school nearby, more shops at cheng, Tesco nearby.
Paya Rumput Cons: too many traffic light after alor gajah toll, traffic jam after tesco toward city centre, less develop place currently (will change in future), small road in taman, too many unit could be trouble.

for vista Kirana it is good for rest but really if for long term stay, still paya rumput is better choice as well as for retirement, this is what we see

---

Added on April 4, 2012, 2:08 pmYes, I received it as well, it is disappointed, but think twice, how many developer really allow pre-modification work before handling key, in fact this is first i hear it can be done.

why not try at pantai klebang?hehehe..bought land n build house there...anyway me bumi easier..being working all state thru out west m'sia..finally made e choice for retirement in melaka...

YUP. I ALSO THE PROS AND CONS JUST LIKE U LISTED. PLUS. VISTA KIRANA IS SUNYIIIIIIIII......I KNOW ITS ORANG KAYA PLACE BUT....COME ON..I WANT A VIBRANT PLACE LIKE PAYA RUMPUT. I THINK SOMETIMES MORE TRAFFIC LIGHT IS GOOD, SO PEOPLE DONT HAVE THE CHANCE TO SPEED UNNECESSARILY.

vista kiranA nearby pantai hospital

Paya Rumput is near to which hospital?

Paya rumput near to Malacca General Hospital

20 km considered near?

how come u measure 20km?? ayooo...11 km only. ask uncle google meh...

haha, 11km also considered near. This one I like.

wahh. paya rumput to melaka GH considered as near arh.. 0.o


anyone know taman pengakalan jaya in bukit katil?
teo bros building phase 2 there..
anyone bought there?

This post has been edited by bpay14: Apr 11 2012, 01:49 PM

how much is it? 2 storey house?

If u found 11km is still farrrrrrrrr...why dont u buy a ward. Coz a ward is in a hospital
GH is for seriuos cases, if u are looking for gov clinic, paya rumput also got type B gov clinic. Still not satisfied?
I dont know that very near to hospital is a major requirement to buy a property.

Lalala...

Yeah, 11 km is far by Melaka's standard, for KL is still considered ok. Agreed? I am not saying buying a property nearby to a hospital is a must. Just rebutting some of the earlier points saying that Paya Rumput is near to a hospital. You don't want to mislead potential buyers, do you. For some seeking a retirement home, a property near to a private hospital is a plus point.

for now, Paya Rumput may seem not quite near to Melaka GH.

wait until the flyovers are built along the AMJ road, then Melaka GH will be a lot nearer, especially those who plan to retire in Paya Rumput in a decade.

Why u are so skeptical about paya rumput? Why u said i want to mislead other potential buyer? Fyi, i bought a house there. And i dont regret. Thank you

fyi, i have vested interest there also, bought a unit too. So, I am not being skeptical. Just saying that Paya Rumput is not NEAR to the public hospital. In fact, it is quite far i think. Anyway, lets hope that they build a private hospital nearby. In fact, I am quite bullish about the Paya Rumput/Cheng area. Looks like it is the next growth phase in Melaka.

Went to the site last weekend, looks like Phase 1 is almost done. Commercial shoplots outside also like 60-70% completed.
