Hi all,

I am noob in this, I need help from all sifus here, about my first property,

of course i couldn't afford a already constructed property at those famous place, e.g. KL, PJ, and etc.

I am looking across the Internet and i found this property which is fairly good in price (but size isn't that big),

KANVAS SOHO

http://www.kanvas.my/

484 - 485 sq ft

planning to get the cheapest unit available,

and i came across PropertyPlus,

http://www.propertyplus.com.my/kanvas_soho...CFdcSjgodukIAqw

which is giving a concept of group buying, anyone familiar or purchase things like this before?

I called the sales people of this PropertyPlus and seems like the cheapest unit available now is roughly around 300k.

before I visit their showroom, I'd like to ask all sifu about this property~

is it ideal to get this kind of house as first house?

lil of my detail:
-I could afford a loan for this house for 35 years, currently living with parents, planning to live in this house once it completes.

-might be living with my girlfriend or alone, depends on her


Truly appreciate ANY comments at all.

thanks

484 - 485 sq ft?

I think your gf will dump you once she realise that you want her to live in shoebox.

seriously? but i feel it's ideal for new couple, no?

how big should a first house be? as it will be our 二人世界 house until we plan to go further(as in getting a baby, which is too early for now).

at that point i might plan to sell off this house and get a bigger one,

but for the time being, affordability is a major issue, but this is quite decent at the area i'm interested to be, as MIGHT be working there

im staying in a soho now in bangsar south. my feedback is unless your soho can fetch good rental yield in the future, else don't get one. Now im hunting for another house, my lil one coming out soon

my soho size is 875 sqr ft i feel it is just nice for 2, i cant imagine how 475 sqr ft can squeeze 2 ppl

I think it'll be very sad instead of ideal

I would say at least 1000sqft to live normally

Its like buying hotel room I guess

wow your soho 875 and it's just nice for 2 ?! oh my, 475 sft is like almost half.. but won't it be quite bonding as we need to squeeze ? but i heard rental wise shouldn't be a problem, cause in cyberjaya, there are LOADS of students and employees, i might be wrong though..

some say cyberjaya is coming up, so thats why i consider this project, so you recommend me more, or ask me to find other property?

good luck hunting your new house! by the way bangsar south 875 sqft how much did u bought it? and when did u bought it ? but it's quite far from my working place though..

my opinion for cyber will be supply > demand. more and more new dev coming up, need to have holding power lor.

last time i got my unit at 400k subsales

sex bonding? I think she don't want to do it everyday one la. Sometimes she want to cook and relax. 475sqft is worse than low cost flat. I feel sorry for your gf

i think it's like living in a decent 5 star hotel right? i don't actually mind as long as i spend a lil more towards my interior design and stuff, should be fine hehe

haha, i don't think she mind one la, she ain't those kind of girl

at least i could confirm she would dump me for buying a hse like this haha..

anyways, i'm planning to spend roughly around 400k-ish to get the whole hse completed (furnitures and etc) so if more i spend on hse, lesser good interior design i'll have, thats why i'm considering this..

is it really that bad ?

any other recommendation in cyberjaya?

Yeah, it will be like 5 star hotel. Hopefully outside corridor is also fully carpeted.

I'm not sure about you bro. But I think its really that bad. As a matter of fact, it'll be a very sad studio Since 600sqft studio already a bad thing. 475sqft is pushing it.

seriously ar bro? won't interior change the feeling of it at all ? any decent/similar pricing like this in Cyberjaya? what about investing in this property ? worth it ?

why not puchong? skyz residence by IOI launching this week.

The size feeling won't change no matter what design you put in.

nope.not good.

alright bro, i'll take your advice, for me the size doesn't matter , but i'll keep a lookout cause i was browsing through and this is really quite cheap, compare to other property, this is enough for me for what i feel, but thanks for your advice! i'll consider the factor, gonna visit the showroom soon to check it out whether it's acceptable or not la haha

475sqft is too small. Like others have mentioned, the feeling of staying in a hotel room where everything is within arm reach. Instead of purchasing new one, why not opt for subsales. For that budget, you can still find a property with bigger built-up. You just need to find harder.

Hi Son, few things you must know first.

1) There is a GLUT of highrise in Cyberjaya and this situation will only get worse. So do bear this in mind

2) Buying Studio from Developer is easy but selling in the secondary market is not that easy. This is cos studio is a very niche market. Most Family with 2 + 1 will want at least 800 sq ft and above. Unless they cannot afford 800 sq ft in a prime area, they will take say 650 sq ft but at a prime area.

Now, Cyberjaya is not exactly prime area, unless both spouses are working in Cyberjaya but there are many highrise in Cyberjaya, so why take such a small unit.

So, if u do buy, who is your target market when u wanna re-sell

3) Are u and your GF planning to work in Cyberjaya / Putrajaya. Else, u will spend a lot of time travelling to and from work, say in KL / PJ

4) size - 475 sq ft is really too small. U must see the showunit before u buy. Remember, no amount of ID can make a small house bigger.

Its good that u wanna buy at such a young age, but seriously, for RM300K, u can get bigger sub-sales Apartments in KL / PJ.

Just need to look harder

For instance, some apartments ranging between RM200K to RM300K
