Houses in Putra Height price eroded?


http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...3663&sec=nation

more on kingsley hill and the Glades side ... 99% of houses in PH are not affected..

glad to know there were no casualties this time, and the damage seems minimal.

I guess it is no longer safe to stay near to hillsides. Nowadays we seem to have very frequent heavy downpours especially at the end of the year.

geologist already warn the LRT route inside PH compound have great possibility of landslide and our beloved 1malaysia gov. just ignore.

duplicated thread to .. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2648300/+60

Not good news to all MCT kingsley Hills and The Glades buyers.......
Remaining unsold units will be dragged longer than expected until buyer's confident restored.

potential buyers can pressure developers to give higher discounts?

"risky to buy a house here, high risk of landslide... give me additional 10% discount and I might consider"

That's possible ler....indeed the hill slope is so steep!

Sime giving 13% or 13%+7% for bumi for the remaining glades unit..still lots of units and expect further reduction up to 25% like those semi d unit in bkt jelutong..

feel sorry for both kingsley hill and glades buyers. putra heights residents too coz that is one of the main roads

Only those staying in usj23 side not effected by the land slide..else have to go out thru nkve or alam megah/sec26..27..

Super link 3 storey is Rm2.0mil+
n after 13% off is still Rm1.7-8mil!

i think the bandar puteri puchong hillside also same problem.. the bungalows.. last time the got landslide, raodcrack and got a keluar thread/newspaper about it also.. i think the residents here also will live in fear after watching/reading latest news.. hillside development all will oneday kena landslide.. too bad... hillside got beautiful view and nice, exclusive tapi tunggu masa plak

because of it, my sis have to take a big u-turn to work. i hope hillside development must be thoroughly check from time to time

All this will be forgotten and new hillside project blossom again. Malaysians just didn't learn. Since Highlands Towers until now.

Exactly true. The developers will keep KILLING beautiful hills and green lung, destroying the homes of wild life animals.

Not totally their fault. Because we keep buying and supporting them. Even the price is sky high, their unit still sold like hot cake.

yup..demand is more than supply..

Maybe...,then these expensive & exclusive properties will be put up for sale in advertisements by investors.There are always over supply of semi-de and bungalow houses in property ads website.

The actual demand are houses cost between RM400,000 to RM 800,000. Most people are middle income group.

Below is information from Wikipedia.

No update if this affects the progress of the construction of Kingsley International school, located at the other side of this hill.

yes i agree... but the properties price went up like crazy because of property flippers...i always blame them.... when the show house open and in first day of booking they rush n buy 5 properties with 10k down payment and after 2 3 months sell the house... pity the middle income buyers who cant get the house in normal price....

The views, exclusivity, wins over danger of erosion.

are you serious?

you gottaa be kidding here.... dont u think safty first??

agreed. and this is why there are many upmarket housing on hills.

those that are worried can stay on lower grounds with everyone else, or stay high up in densely populated condos.

out of so many houses built on hills, how many people died? more lives can be saved banning cigarettes and motorbikes than banning hillside development

Where to smell the green, Feed the monkey, heard the bird chime?

Absulotely correct. But to ban cigarettes n motorbike are close to impossible, just like hill development. If you value your n your family life, please avoid these three. You r not going to die without those. Same goes with sugar. Without which we are healthier.

Bro, not just animals and plants, one bomoh told me that it is a common practice by bomoh to get rid of black magic or orang halus(eg toyol) on the jungle or hill . This means even the ghosts are not being left alone by the greedy developers.

What old wives tales are you guys spinning? Just look at malaysian's history of landslides.....daily accidents kill more ppl...please stop driving.
