Thanks for the input from both of you. I believe there are pro and con for SEG. I would like to stay with bukit indah area as I hate the traffics at First Link. Are you 2 travels or stay in Singapore?

me staying at Pioneer now, renting a room @ $600/month. Frankly I have growing hatred with smell of armpit and sweat in buses/ MRTs... that's why decided to move back to MY and stay there.

Singapore to me, will be just a workplace. Nothing more.

Hi, same for me, I have been studying and working at KL for some times, I just move to Singapore for around half years, but I'm growing tired staying in Singapore, that's why I rather purchase an subsale apartment to move out first. I like Malaysia living environment, not so organised and with some Kampung feeling. Singapore is way too organised and everyone staying inside is like a working machine.

good for you, I have been here for almost 4 years! Singapore 4 years ago is nothing like what it is today... MRT breakdown, bangla/chinese/philipino around us, cost of living going up...

it is odd for you to consider getting a new house so fast... just 6 months after moving into Singapore. Have you considered what if you decided to move back to KL if you find that Singapore is really not suitable for you?

Hi,my hometown is at kluang,so is actually quite near for me to go b to klg from jb rather than kl. My intension of working at sg is i wan to stay nearer to my family.

Guys, imho, I think you have made the right move by earning the strong SGD and then spending it in Nusajaya and Johor by making your money go further. Property in SG is just too exp now and boh hua.
I assume you guys are still young and can tahan so this is the correct attitude and way to go. Make hay while the sun shines and you can consider retiring back in Malaysia next time when you grow old. Nusajaya is very near SG making it feasible to retire there next time if you want to remain near SG. Best of both worlds!

However, in my age to purchase such expensive property seems quite a burden to me. However, I still believe that I would rather spend the money for my own house rather than help the others to pay for their housing installment.

hi
mind to share where exactly is the hi tension power lines? better if you can draw it overlaying the SEG master plan picture..
i m interested in subsale but not really know the location of the cables may end up buying 1 that is too near to the cables...
thanks

Just a rough estimate, the power lines in black. I strongly advise you make a trip there to have a visual on the power line's exact location.

wow, thanks for the effort!
you are amazing!

the power lines are not that near. Which phase you are looking at?

avatha 2 and the upcoming (which is those rows behind radena) looked quite near to the black line at the boundary doesn't it?

nearest to the power lines is Elvira, then Avathar 1. The row behind Radena is Avathar 2. Heard from my SA that Phase 2 of Setia Eco Village will launch in early next year, with Cadena (22x70) facing Radena and the rest Pandora 1 and Pandora 2 (20x70).

Avatha 2 so fast got sub-sale d?

may i know how much u bought the unit after discount?

what discount package setia gives u?

thanks.

think I saw your avatar in cari forum, I remember you bought a unit at Setia Eco Cascadia.

Price is RM521k after discount, for a Radena intermediate lot (22x70", build up 1950sqft). Package includes all legal fees (both developer and buyer except for MOT in which buyer needs to pay), and 10% discount for early birds. I booked mine before Setia Eco Village was launched so I manage to get the lowest price... Heard the price for Radena is RM580k after discount now.

By the way the diagram of the high tension cables is wrong, the wires make a 90 degrees turn right in front of SEV, it does not split into 2 thus no high tension cables in SEV itself.

Actually Horizon Hills is not really dead, in fact the rental is high. for a typical intermediate terrace house also can easily draw rm2k and above rental per month...i think the environment and safety indeed attracts a lot of foreigners including singaporean.

Actually the last batch of Bukit Indah double storey terrace is selling at rm4xxk close to rm500k Feb last year (2012) which is considered quite affordable compare to price now... but all had been sold out including bumi lots.... BI is not bad choice as well because the location of Bukit Indah is as good as Horizon Hill - equal distance to both 1st link and 2nd link. Good for malaysian working in SG, so rental is not a issue especially BI has direct bus of CW3 and CW6 to both Jurong East and Boon Lay MRT station.

Added on January 5, 2013, 11:43 pmRM521k after discount? it is indeed attractive... yeah, like you said, it is not able to get any affordable new house at nusajaya area due to the effect of nusajaya development. But i believe the projects in nusajaya will help to appreciate the price of the property.

RM580 vs RM521k? wow you have made a gain for less than months time... congrates...

MOT is not included? I see... how much is the MOT?

Added on January 5, 2013, 11:50 pmmay i know how much is the monthly maintenance fee for SEV? the SEV concept is quite similar to setia eco cascadia except there is no club house.

I been to BI, yes it is developed but I don't really like to stay in congested area... Especially my fiancée she prefers secluded and quiet area which she felt is safer. Furthermore we prefer the landscaping and the back-alley garden concept. SEV is just 15 mins drive to 2nd link customs, smooth ride without any jam.

This is my first house and it will be for own stay. Public transport wise there is a CW bus from Gelang Patah to SG as well.

For own stay I think what is most important is to get a house that we are most comfortable with.

Added on January 6, 2013, 12:20 amHaha what is there to gain? The RM60k is just paper value, still depends if there is any takers for the commanded price. Anyway I don't have intention to sell yet for the time being.

Heard from the sales assistants that SEV phase one all fully booked even before launched, and all fully sold after launch. Phase 2 of SEV will launch in Q1 this year, price for 22x70" (Cadena) will be from RM600k. I got a feeling SEV phase 2 will sell like hot cakes as they are further away from the high tension cables compared to phase 1. Imagine looking out of my window staring at the new units opposite of the road... Same size but almost RM100k more than my unit!

MOT is calculated from the price indicated in SPA. If I am not mistaken should be RM6-8k.

The developer has not finalized on the maintenance fee yet, but we were told that it should be RM200-300 for Radena due to Strata title and higher maintenance cost on the gardens.

There is a clubhouse as per Setia Eco Garden's master plan but that will be in another phase consist of bungalows, semi-Ds, cluster homes etc. not launched though.

I see i see... indeed not bad, i also did go to SEG sales office few months back. I was shocked to hear that the SEV units all sold out within few months time. Indeed SEG house also in high demand....

The concept is indeed good as well.

Yup, i also agree nusajaya area because of the better road design/highways, less jam as compare to tebrau area definitely.

Me and my fiancée plan to commute daily to work, either via the CW buses or purchase a SG car when the COE is lower. I have consulted a few friends who stay near the Causeway and all of them advise me to get a property closer to 2nd link to avoid traffic jam. That is why I never considered SEC, Setia Tropika etc.

I did considered other projects like Nusa Central, Nusa Bayu, Nusa Idaman etc but somehow I felt more comfortable with SEG because it has a proven track record in terms of security and planning. SP Setia is more experienced and their name worth a lot.

By the way traffic at 2nd link is increasing day by day due to more and more housing projects being VP (I know Nusa Central Phase 1 is one of them). Who knows 3 years later the traffic at 2nd link will be similar to Causeway?

I wonder if you are looking for your next property purchase? How's your unit at SEC? Already VP?

Hi Hoks, i am also looking to buy Setia Eco Gardens and I have the exact same reason with you (on pros and cons). I simply love the flora and fauna design, and it is an exclusive township with award winning concept. However, I am worried that there will not be appreciation in property value as this location is quite far from the city.

May I know what have you found so far? and your advice?
