electrical still got a chance to get resindence rate...water a bit difficult....assessment surely commercial...

commercial title then everything will be subjected to GST next April ?

prepare to wear mask cum oxigen tank..

Nope it's under housing developmental act. The whole title is commercial but under HDA the electric and water is residential rate. Alot of developments are doing this now.

The construction itself wont be affected by GST, just after it is build as it is commercial title it will attract the GST for the maintenance service but 1st year free maintenance.

About the incinerator project, it will affect the whole area of kepong/selayang/batu caves. But even with the news of the incinerator project the property prices around this area is climbing. Just last year i was surveying Selayang point (2km from the proposed incinerator project), it was about rm330k. Now rm470k, really regret not buying.

With the GST, i'm sure there will be another jump in property prices in the whole of Malaysia. So if you see a good deal, grab it before too late. It can be any project.

Come on lar ... pls do proper fact finding first before stating so firmly lar. This is stated and lawyer will brief on this. Unless your lawyer did not mention and highlight this to you then too bad for you lar. Many development now has land title commercial but electric and water still under residential.

ya, very confusing and this is one grey area! commercial title comes residential water/electricity rate!
Anyway only time will tell when you make payment next time

I meant any difference to commercial or residential title as far as GST is concerned
Are you saying no difference to both?
The maintenance service fee is subjected GST whether commercial or residential title
make no difference to us

Why tower C & D so special?
Because its location & better lake view

Below 500k is still affordable to most people
Above 600k will be less affordable!

From what i understand about the commercial title under HDA:
1. Higher assessment property rate annually
2. Maintenance charges are affected by GST.

but the electricity and water is under residential. So those 2 things are the only difference.

Actually the best tower is tower A, unit 5 which will give you KLCC view for all rooms and balcony will get KLCC view and part of the lake. You are also protected by the evening sun.
Tower A unit 6-8, the balcony will get KL skyline view and the lake.
Tower A unit 1-4 is facing the podium of facilities.

Tower B unit 5-8, the balcony will get KL Skyline view and the lake but unit 8 will be hot as it is facing west.
Tower B unit 1-4 is also facing the podium of facilities.
Tower C and D which is directly facing the lake, is good for the view but will be hot as it is also facing west.

So it depends on whether you don't mind the apartment being too hot, just for the view.

Tower A is nearest to HTC. It is sitting on grade while a tower. C & D are sitting on filled area. UNDerneath are those golds. Tower B & E too....

Sitting on grade? The HTC is actually very far if you notice from visiting the site.
At least 200m away. There's the guard post and a few houses in btw.

So i still think the best unit would be block A unit 5.

Thank you for your detailed explanation.

Then I would not buy C or D because of its lake view & higher price $psf (I think lah)
Anyway what so good about its lake view better than titiwangsa lake?
You dont look at it the whole day only occasionally once a while

You wont be comfortable living in C & D after sunset & work because you cant withstand the heat

Other than facing the west and lake view unit, A & B units can be consider

E & F not launch yet or completly sold?

It always good to facing south/north as one selection factors for me lah......

Finally, it is good to walk around the actual site before booking a unit!

What percentage % to Higher assessment property rate annually comapre to residential title?
ok lah if not much different
Maintenance charges are affected by GST whether commercial or residential as consumption tax
use more pay more use less you pay less!

According to the MS agent, E and F sold en bloc but dont know if true or not.

Should be 7% vs 4% but could be 10% vs 4%. Have to check on that with DBKL.
