I browsed Mudah and found that many cheap units for sale. 1021sqf for <400K. some even put 370k. why the price drop?

glad to hear that bro. i asked my sis in law to wait a month more but she refused. she only managed to secure 1K rent with basic lighting, 2 heaters, build in kitchen and fully grilled.

How much they offer you?

Thanks Newguy2016 for your information.

Finally the truth is out.  All the time we have maintained that Service Apartnment like Silk Residence the Cukai Pintu (Assessment) will be based on Commercial Rate and not Residential Rate as Service Apartment Title is Commercial Title. Unfortunately Assessment (Cukai Pintu) based on Commercial is much higher as compared to Residential.  Well the 2nd half of 2016 is coming all property owners will soon receive their billings for Assessment and no more guessing of the amount.

People like Peri .... Peri who is ultra kiasu and in denial mode and sturbbornly refuses to accept this simple fact.

The true fact prevail.

Best Wishes.

Friend you are correct the Cukai Pintu or Assessment  is very expensive as this Service Apartment is assessed based on Commercial Title. In the past this guy, Peri .. try to misrepresent this fact but fail miserably. You are smart as it is better to invest in Residential Unit.

FairView bro.
To be honest, my intention are not to proof who is right or wrong but more for information sharing so that everyone understand and make the best decision on their purchases.

At least we know that its not a blood sucking amount numbering to thousand's per year.

So for me, RM 500 ++ per year are still manageable even though its more expensive by 30 % - 50% compare to residential rate?

Im been looking to invest for project like Landmark, Saville , YouCity, Resident etc. Service apartment type also.....sien nia.

Hi Peri-peri,

Since you are here, could share with me also the current utility rate for Silk Resident? agak-agak higher by how much?

Thanks in advance.

the problem fixed already and thank to my contractor as well. because he basically has to send someone to open up some compartment at the built-in kitchen cabinet then only the management's contractor can fix the leak. this is so far the problem that I encounter and it's really not an easy thing to manage since i already have tenant occupying the unit.

Is Silk Residence under service apartment category?

all service apartment under commercial tariff. Pay more for TNB electricity rate.

if Under Tariff B (Low Voltage Commercial Tariff) is 32.3 sen/kWh

Under Tariff A (residential/domestic) is from 21.8  sen/kWh

which means extra 48% more expensive compared to normal residential rate.

u may refer to your TNB bill for your Tariff.

Wonder why people want to buy service apartment that is outside CBD area.

sorry which year that question was banned?

bankrupt? no.

Hard to find tenant and higher quit rent case? yes.

the studios and service apartment category only attract short term tenants, that is the point.

sorry if i asked banned questions. I did not read the rules for this thread before i replied.

fact is, studio and service apartment is developer gimmicks to sell over-rated units, which often resulted in buyers remorse.

no mentioned names, so no need to butt hurt.

The rest I shall leave you to your own assumptions.

opportunities are plenty everywhere, it's not limited to properties only.

yes i agree it doesn't only twice, it comes everyday in stock market, forex, business deals, etc.

Good luck on this one.

Is it true tht minimum usage is RM36 per month?

thanka Peri, not bad after all... So how come ppl says its RM36?

Hi Peri, so for Silk Resident, all units are paying residential for both water and electricity even its commercial land? Good news like tht...
