Hey guys, I encounter a new development offering tandem parking for those who wish to buy second parking lot, worth RM13K.

What do you think about tandem parking? I think it is quite inconvenient as the car that park inside cannot move when second parking is occupied.

Herm.... can get some opinion from you guys? Thanks.

which development is this?
it seems developer not willing to develop bigger parking spaces

Many developers doing this. Mostly newer launch ones

Likely so, most of the new launches and new blended condo, esp those medium end apartments or medium higher end with higher density condos ...

Tandem parking did save a lot of spaces for developer to sizes if car park's masterplan. By this, the developers willing to create smaller scale of small units within the development to get tandem while larger size gets individual ( bcz small size is more in demand, low price point and cheaper )

Now, most of the RM 400k+ new condos are adapted with this inconvenience parking lots, but seems the market buyers were well aware of it and doesnt mind it as long as, they like the location and willing to buy the fair price condo unit.

But, what do you mean, new development ( WOTP? ) offering tandem parking for those wish to buy SECOND PARKING LOT, worth RM 13k ( only? ) ?

Tandem Parking is box parking of front & back where, if both cars park, the front car have to be remove before the back car going out. In this case " Tandem Parking" is referring 2 parking spaces, and if RM 13k for 2 car park lots, although it was Tandem Parking Lot, RM 13k is consider very cheap.

i think this is something beyond your control... my parents bought a second car park (tandem parking) and it is not really a problem for us because we (family members) know which car is parked in the inner parking space. Those who goes to work early has the privilege to park at the outer parking space.

Just need a little more coordination and planning when it comes to utilising both parking lots... not really a serious problem for us. By the way we have been parking this way for the past 10 years.

yes.. new trend now..

and i still can see with smaller fonts...

It is Dream City nearby the Mines.

I am thinking whether this kind of parking is acceptable for now and future as I am buying it for investment, hence, not sure worth it or not.

RM13K for a parking is worth it. i am sure in the future, parking lot will have value too in kl

It's definitely not convenient, but no choice if that's the Only option from devr to purchaser, either buy or don't buy ..
I've seen old condo with both tandem & side-by-side, definitely the side-by-side units have absolute advantage compare to tandem unis in rental & sub-sales market (WOTP kind is special one, so it Might not be the same) .. but if that's the only option

but we cannot sell 1 parking lot only....

Some places have different snp for car park. u can just sell car park

IMHO, if I am you, I just top up the RM 13k and upgrade to 2 parkings of Tandem Lot.

Many young buyers are aware of this and wont mind much as long as selling price within their budget.

In current trend or future trend, 2 car parks is a very normal and standard for every condo. Also, it is much easier to sell with 2 parking lot ( tandem ) compare to 1 individual parking lot with just mere additional 13k.

Car park also can flip, some countries is doing now.

during the old days, ppl are skeptical about living in highrise, but once it gets common nowadays, ppl willing to accept it..
when few developers starting to build high dense condos and apartments, ppl are skeptical about it.. once more and more high dense highrise are built, ppl start get use to it..
when tandem carpark introduced in highrise, ppl also feel skeptical about it.. again, when it get so common in the future, got parking lot is better than no parking lot..

when land and space is constrain, human will slowly adapt the new environment

Thanks.

Say no to tandem parking.

Y? Becoz it is inconvenient?

Obviously, it would be inconvenience. U have to purposely dress up and go out from ur unit to take lift to go to ur parking lot to remove the first car bfore the second car can move out. Even landed oso got ppl feel troublesome but still fine, just in front of the house.

However, it is up to the choice available n premium paid ( if choice available)

With ur option, i believe to get tandem would be ur best move bcz RM 13k is cheap and standard unit only get 1 parking lot, leaves u have open advantages upon subsales.

It was proven at The Zest where only biggest units come with 2 side by side parkings while the rest / majority with 2 tandem parking. Most of the new buyers only consider the layout, floor and view desired. Car park is not much issue for them even though they paying for same price psf for each units available.

Midfields also have tandem parking, not really inconvenient la, just bring two set of keys and remove the inside car first.. will get used to it after a period of adaptation

need to pay extra maintenance fee or not?
