Just went to see the 2-storey end lot house in kinrara residence, land area 27X 75, built up area 2800 sqf. The agent said owner asking for RM988K. Unfurnished. Is it a good deal?

Coz i was thinking if add in the legal fees and stamp duty. All in about 1.01 mil. ada overbudget ler....budget 850k++ only...

But the environment there really good...aiyo...tak cukup duit really ada susah....

Izit junction unit?
If not I think it's a good buy

Sorry for asking dumb question.. I google and saw that kinrara is all leasehold right? Plus now has sold till 3 phases already? So now more new launch?

There are a few plots of land behind KR, perhaps you shd check with Mahajaya if they hv any morel link house launching in the future.
The entire land are ex forest reserved land, all leasehold.
Leasehold premium is not a big concern anymore, it will cost around 40K to renew another 99 years for a 22'x75' link house (estimated based on current land cost value)

2 storey terraces now selling for almost one mil. How much does semi-ds sell nowadays? And i'm asking real semi-ds....not clusters.

Sorry to ask a stupid question..what is junction unit? If it is a junction unit meaning worth to buy is it??

As i can see The house beside ada small road la...i also dunno is it so called junction unit.. Actually double storey endlot roughly now selling how much in KR? I really hope to move in

KR has the best environment and park facilities in whole of Puchong.

Anyone of you has connected the alarm to a phone?

I mean T-junction
Road next to the house is ok, I know some people just dun like it

Anyone know how to dispose larger size rubbish? When the house is being handover to me, the tenant just moved out and left a lots of rubbish in the house. I am unsure what to do with it...

Now the owner mau 1.1mil for the 2 sty endlot 27x75..... or should i just go for the 3 sty 22x75 with d same price?

3-Storey

Wanna ask...if i buy 2s link hse that with mahajaya design...m i allow to use the facilities in clubhouse? :/

No
50% of Mahajaya buyer accepted the offer and their house design and facade followed exactly Mah Sing type.
Some who dun take the offer regret now, Mah Sing / JMB receives application to join but was rejected, some agents promise that it can be done but dun believe.

This post has been edited by UFO-ET: Jan 19 2014, 12:34 PM

Meaning that those own mahajaya house type only need to pay mthly fee to guardhouse..but jimat the duit for joining the clubhouse la....but in future possible open for those staying mahajaya house type? Coz my family members suka swimming...

Hhmmmm...other than clubhouse facilities, what else is only exclusively for mahsing house owner?

Now i m afraid that if i buy the mahajaya 2S type i will regret in future as Other ppl will see us like low class residents in KR, thats why have to postpone the plan til after CNY....enjoy 1st n think later.....

Those who are not club house member may coz the property price lower than the ordinary one. Subsequent purchaser is facing the same issue

You are indeed buying fr Mah Sing or 1st owner?
If 1st owner, my advice to you is stay away and dun buy.
I know very well that JMB (Fasa 2B, 2C and 3A, 3B) will not allow any new member to joint once they take over the club house, so as the developer Mah Sing.

I dun think other resident will look down on those non member. not an issue

p/s : I will be at the poolside later in this evening, you may come to meet me

This post has been edited by UFO-ET: Jan 19 2014, 03:44 PM

Thanks for ur quick reply those houses i m looking now in KR are from 1st owner..

These 2 weeks start busy with CNY punya preparation... hope to have chance meet u nx time

Again. I deeply appreciate for your opinion n advice..mk me rethink n reconsider for this....thankiu so much...

After I got my house, I realized that the car porch wall between my house and the next one is separated by a solid wall instead of wall + grill. I don't understand why people want to make it a full soild wall instead of using a mixture of grill+wall like the original design. It looks really ugly..

A very clear signal, not a friendly one

But overall I am happy with the purchase just that now have to pening on renovation

Kinrara Residence is a damn good place to stay! Best in Puchong

The small corridor at the back of the house for putting the washing machine is killing me. Unsure what to do with it. If do extension, the toilet at the ground floor needs to be moved. Really headache. I saw it is the same for 3 storeys as well.

Based on my understanding from this forum, in KR there are units which were sold by Mahajaya and Mahsing respectively. (I assume in this case, it is only 2 storey linked that are involved)
Mahajaya ones apparently were lower price. Anyone still remember what were the prices for Mahajaya and Mah Sing respectively?

Question is whether now there are disputes that those who bought from Mahajaya will not be able to use the clubhouse facility? Hope it's not true otherwise it will be a pity especially for subsale buyers.

Next question is, from design wise, is there a difference for Mahajaya and Mah Sing units? If yes, then what difference?

Seem like KR is a good place to stay thus I am interested to get these questions clarified by owners like you guys. Thanks so much

Those conflict unit involve 2 & 2.5 storey

Mahajaya
2-S - 498K
2.5S - 598K

Mah Sing
2-S - 698K-718K
2.5S - 818K - 908K

Since the 1st owner decided not to accept Mah Sing's offer, he/she is definitely not entitled for club house facilities, he saves 23K (2-S), it is fair, when the moment he put up for sale, I am very sure his unit will need to sell lower, at least 25K lower, it is still fair to the subsequent purchaser.
If I am a 2nd hand purchaser, I will not consider a unit without club house membership if the selling price is the same. I would probably offer 50K-80K lower if there is no choice.

The facade for Mahajaya and Mah Sing is slightly different, build up also different.
IMO, TMS design better

Not all agents will tell you there is a Mah Sing type and a Mahajaya type. It is confusing especially if you never seen the inside of both types. However, it is the responsibility of ownself to do proper research before buying.

correct most of the agents dunno

Hi UFO bro, is that any 2-storey available?
saw in iproperty all 3 storey only

End lot only
You want 2-S, I may hv one

This post has been edited by UFO-ET: Jan 21 2014, 10:24 AM

I last heard in Aug 2013 the end lot for 2 storeys is about 1.05mil.

Hi all, I has been visiting KR for the past few days seeing a few units. I was offered by Mah Sing staff for unit at 4, Jalan DU4/1 with attractive price and discount (10% discount and free legal fees). Is a 2.5 stories with Mahajaya design, and it has this weird kitchen design (half of kitchen is lower than then back ally road, hence air ventilation could be bad).

May I know any of you come across this unit? And what's your opinion about it? Or you know any history about this unit ? Any fang shui issue for unit like this?
May sing said this unit can access to clubhouse. Is this real? I saw some post here that might not be the case.

This is my first landed investment and I hope you all can help me to make the right decision.

I just bought an unit in Phase 4A.

Seems like this thread is really quiet. :S

Welcome to KR

You bought from developer or sub-sale? When you planning to move in? Must be very excited

I bought from Mah Sing.

My unit is the Ambrosia area, final phase of Kinrara Residence. Still under construction and ready next year March. Still long time to go...

Hi neighbor I also of Ambrosia, semi-D, you?

Heard that the VP is before March next year, so now in preparation look look see see those Reno fair for ideas

Perhaps we including other residence can share share info later Liao.

I have been viewing many subsale units at KR after being priced out from Qaseh and Emerald and KR represents value for money. Qaseh and KR launching at the same time and the price is in the same bracket but Qaseh price has been rocketing while KR still lagging behind. This is the reason why I'm viewing units here and the chances is quite high for me to grab a unit of 3 stories (although I prefer the endlot of 2 stories).

Why does this happen to KR? Any sifus here could contribute the reason that preventing KR subsale price to going up? Here is what I think:

- Oversupply (more than 400 units and majority is investor rather than own stay)
- Leasehold (causing people to opt for Qaseh which completion is almost the same time)
- Poor workmanship (cracks appears all around the houses, paint is getting dull despite completion just couple of years old)

I don't mind with above reasons if I can a unit which is cheaper by 200k compared to similiar range within vicinity (I'm comparing with Qaseh) as I'm already preparing a budget to renovate and touch-up the house to make it an ideal home but would appreciate if any bros or sifus can share what their thought on this.

Thanks.

I personally think that other than the leasehold and mainly bought by investor factors, the main reason is that this place is not so popular yet. i.e. a lot of ppl have yet to come to view KR to appreciate this place. A lot of BKers have not been to KR.

KR has supply glut issue. Mostly investors.

Whereby Qaseh are mostly owners. That's why you hardly see any more units for sale. Good units facing north/south are all taken. Qaseh owners are moving in to stay now.

KR price will move up demand/supply is matched. Don't worry and be a happy owner of KR. You will see your property value going up soon.

Qaseh don't have children playground. KR got clubhouse and big playground with jogging tracks and futsal court.

Qaseh don't have DMC. Less than 50% residents are paying security. KR is DMC where residents have signed to pay.

Qaseh too near to main road, can get noisy. KR is more privacy and next to forest reserve.

My 2sen

ronn, u r not alone. Ppl who were initially looking for BK's units ended up buying KR now.

Is there any developer unit available?

Qaseh guardhouse is an eyesore....
Luckily well compensate with a nice surrounding and good quality materials.

BK price is really crazy, even old phase 5-6 years ago also selling 1.1m
This all make KR looks like a bargain.

Went to see a symphony unit, double storey with 10' extra land, selling at 1.3m. Nice place to stay though. But, u dont see the difference moving from an i&p unit to another i&p unit.

KR, more value for money, for own stay.

What is the unit you are staying?
I'm tempting with 3 stories.
Initially looking for 2 storey endlot with supersize unit but unfortunately facing the direction which is less preferable so now have to opt for 3 stories.

The 3 storey is very spacious...go for it..

The 3-storey Palmiera unit has a big jacuzzi pool sitting on top floor balcony area. Nice...

So quiet...... Who recently bought KR units? Please stand up and voice. Make this thread active pls.

hey guys i'm seriously considering getting a 3-sty unit for own stay so i'm on hunting mode. Any direct owner want to let go of their unit do PM me.

Anyways, 1 of my concern is the rush hour traffic. I'm working in KLCC so any owners can share how's the traffic condition in the morning during peak hours? Will like to have a feel, although i'll try it out myself eventually!

boss, 3 storey semi d or the superlink? I am not an agent. What is the offer u got? I did some survey recently.
The rush hour jam in the morning,. very jam.. but u will get used to it.

by the way where is the big playground? from what i'd seen behind the 3 storey open field facing semid got some landscaping but not a big playground.

still undecided if I should get KR or others....

Bro, I'm looking at 3 storey super link. When did u do your research? Prob called up most of the agents who specialist in KR.

As for the jam, where does it usually start? Don't want to get used to traveling 90 mins just to get to klcc.

I did my research few weeks ago.

Intermediate, i know a unit at 1.2m, not sure whether is the best price. Direct owner. 4/8. I think u have already called him. My sister told me she viewed a unit at 1.15m, at the row facing east. (Cant remember 4/5 or 4/6).

End lot with 5 feet land, price ranging from 1.2xm - 1.5m. Best price for a nice end lot should be around 1.33m gua.

I personally prefer 4/8, 4/9, 4/10.

What is the price quoted to u?

Jam starts at the traffic lights in BK, near golf course. After that not sure about the direction going to KLCC. Dun think will take 90 mins though.

Just as example, sending children to school in PJ from BK, best to leave at about 630am to avoid jam at Sunway toll. Travel at 630am, reach PJ section 23 at 7am. If u leave at 7am, traffic is already heavy at Sunway toll, will take around 45- 50 mins instead of 30 mins.

Hey guys,

I finally managed to complete my booking for a 3 sty SSL and now pending loan and s&p.

Is there a Facebook group that I can join so that I can be updated on what's happening in the neighborhood? Hope to get some tips from the tkt in here regarding Reno tips and also what are the outstanding issues and what are the common defects. Thanks!

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/385900

This should be a very complete guide for you to check on the defects. I think.

Hi guys...seriously interested in getting a basic Mah Sing unit (2.5 storey superlink) for an acceptable price(budget 1mil). Owners/agents are encouraged to pm me their price. If there is any friends interested to sell, please pm me their contact. Thank you.

Go for the 3 storey for a slight difference. If u find harder, can get at 1.1m. Good luck

Would love too..but 2.5 storey suits my budget just nice(need to consider stamp duty, legal fees etc. somemore.. haiz).Plus 3 storey for 1.1mil is pretty scarce...

Good luck in your search. Find from iproperty.com.my would be an ideal way.

How much is the 2.5 storey?

there's two types, mahajaya and Mahsing..which has difference in price by 50-80k since Mah Sing's design is more practical and can use the clubhouse facilities..while Mahajaya's design u cant...2.5 storey Mahajaya unit can find for 950-980k, where else cheapest for Mah Sing is 1.05mil..im looking for Mah Sing 2.5 storey at price nearer to 1mil

Yesterday just placing my cheque on booking fees for 2 storey endlot. Hopefully all goes well and we will be neighbour real soon

Woohoo~ less 1 investor, add 1 real house owner. This is good for price appreciation in future.

congrats! End lot with or without land?

Hi, I have a 3 storey with 5' land at Jalan DU4/5 and currently renting out. Do you think it is time to let go ??

imo should hold. Price can only go up.

KR is not fully value yet. Many new developments, ie LRT, KIDEX, Pavilion2, BukitJalilCity, etc.

Exciting times in next few years

Wow ronn boss, congratz.

Berapa juta for ur end lot?

Endlot without land, but with super size as they convert land become usable b/u.
Imagine 27 x 75'

Satu juta lebih saja...
tak sampai 2 juta lagi la bro..

+1

Good buy for own stay boss.

I have been searching high and low for landed properties and at the end settled for this.
If you are me, where will you choose if budget is within KR and location is not an issue? Mind to share? Just curious

A nice place to stay......

Latest update

Latest occupancy rate

56% (2B 69%, 2C 48%)
Under renovation 7%

Total - 447
Occupied - 250
Under Reno - 32

View to appreciate, great place to stay

You stay here too?

Yes

In your opinion, why there is such huge gap of price different between Bandar Kinrara (Qaseh) compared to Kinrara Residence?

Supply issue, KR has relatively higher % of investors, number also bigger
- freehold
- KR access issue

KR will rebound, it is already under valued
Belif in yr own judgement, buy a property with good fundamental value, it you find it, then just grasp it

This post has been edited by UFO-ET: Aug 28 2014, 03:10 PM

Oic, I thought you're looking into Bkt Jalil area.

Mind to share your 2 storey end lot, what is the land size and built up size? 1.1mil?

I still feel KR is a good buy considering the price and the BU sizes. I'm comparing with Qaseh cause both are just located opposite to each other divided by the main road and it staggers me with imbalance of prices between both of them. I'm sure it's time for KR to step up its gear to bring the value to where it deserves.

Initially im looking into Seri Jalil but the price has rocketed up to 1.7m now which im not keen into it anymore and at the same time not interested on older house (although Jalil Sutera has great value with better location).

So at the end Im buying KR...value for money and somemore price quite laggards since its completion till now.

Landsize - 27 x 75
B/U - 2700 sft

Still got 5 ft behind.

And the price..its about there

Seri Jalil, you need a lot of way or connection to get it below that price.

But if say Seri Jalil at RM 1.6mil, I rather take Jalil Sutera or Kinrara Residence that you are buying now, much cheaper and somemore end lot with maximize built up.

No need worry, you got one of the best house in Bdr Kinrara.

Thanks Yunalesca !

But I wonder how long will it take ???

Since we do not want to move in which we have been delaying the decision and must as well we let it go.......any takers ??

Road Blocked Issue settled

Road Open

Since the road access issue has been settled,can we expect the price to appreciate closer to its true value(1.3-1.4mil for an intermediate 3-storey superlink)?

This post has been edited by allwerp: Sep 11 2014, 12:03 AM

Wow

It will be there, hard to guess
A few factors :-
1. How many left for sale
2. Surrounding new launching price (landed)
3. How soon road opening fr Qaseh to Sirim
4. How soon Skip and KIDEX kick start


I think 1st-2nd quarter of 2016

UFO-ET, can the JMB plant some fruit trees at the playground?

- Nangga
- Papaya
- Mango (highly suggested)
- Jambu
- Rambutan (highly suggested)
- etc etc etc...

Plant them at the edge of playground, or suitable areas up to JMB committees to decide.

This could be a great idea rather than normal trees on the playground landscape. I have seen this idea from China local city councils, they are doing this along the road side.

Can ask the Palmiera guards help to water the plants every evening.

If the true value is 1.3 - 1.4, why not buy few units at low price now and earn 200-300k when true value is reached.

Just a thought.

Good suggestion
Joint our next meeting or login our facebook

This post has been edited by UFO-ET: Oct 5 2014, 09:03 PM

The cost to acquire a 1.2 mil property is quite substantial, total amount to 50K, not much earning (%) even you dispose it off at 1.4 mil after 2 years, dun forget 24 mths installments will cost you bout 100K interest, early settlement of 30K if any,
If dispose off at 1.5 mil after 2 years, after deducted 30% RPGT, yr nett is only 45K, which is equivalent to 3.75% (2 yrs) only, 1.9% return per year...
Do you still think this is a good investment?

+1
Nevertheless, the place pretty alrite for own stay considering the fair price vs Qaseh. Only negative point would be leasehold. Positive points are clubhouse, layout & design. Those with holding power should hang on to it cause future growth looks bright.

1) What is the Kinrara Residence fb page link?

2) Mine is Ambrosia. Final phase. Still under construction. Can join meeting meh?

Like that cannot already, but in the future RA and JMB will discuss perhaps
