Jason Boss, yes, definitely, I am pretty sure the front row facing the iconic istana-feel 3.7 acres garden could command the same premium price as per row backyard facing lake. I believe almost the same price or perhaps 5-10k extra for the Istana-feel, but for a product with RM 7xxk ish, I believe RM 5-10k is very minimal upon decision making.
For the Cradleton, inter lot vs normal end lot ( not super end lot ) is same internal layout, same built up and with 10' ft extra land, if I remember it was RM 120k price difference and about RM 180-200k for inter vs corner lot at the same row.
For this Merrydale, inter lot vs normal end lot, super end lot and corner lot is a bit difference this time. If the pricing is differ by RM 200k, it was a normal catch since the internal layout wider by 2' ft, perfectly balance the exclusive of being an end lot, super end lot or corner lot and the minimum land size of normal end lot is 13' ft with the addition of 20' ft garden separated both of the end to end lots.
My view could be on below ;
Inter unit of 8C is only 2483 sf , RM 768k or RM 308 psf effectively ( thus taking the same price psf for the end lot / corner lot within the same row )
Meanwhile, for end lot / corner of 8C is more typically different animal of it's type due to not much info revealed of the layout, where 3002 sq ft ( - 2483 ) which is an additional of 519 sf ft, and typically, additional 2ft width x 70 x 2 floors = 280 sq ft to be on par with normal intermediate unit, thus the remaning ( 519 - 280 ) 239 sq ft might go to somewhere else such as verandah and side balcony of the end / corner lots.
Thus, in a view of valuer that I known, their methodology of calculating against intermediate unit as below
2483 + 240 usable size = Total 2723 sq ft x RM 309 psf = RM 841,407
239 sq ft ( side or uncovered verandah / balcony ) = 239 x RM 309 psf x 75% = RM 55,388
Additional land, 13x70 = 910 sq ft x RM 250 current value = RM 227,500
( bungalow land is value at RM 150 psf for 6500-900 sq ft land, but for additional land of corner, end lot is est RM 250 psf, the calculation from my valuer friend)
All in all, if valuer able to justify the intermediate at RM 768k, then for end lot with 13’ ft land would becomes RM 841,407 + 55,388 + 227,500 = RM 1.124mil
Above is only my view after discussion with some professional, lol.
Wow, that's the footprint of 24 x 70 buildup with extra 13 feet land, justifiable for the price indeed.
I just wondering what is the total buildup for 8D (22 x 75) end lot instead, suppose to be same as the buildup for "24 x 75" units instead, should be with a gigantic buildup of more than 3500 sqf I presume, with extra 13 feet of land.
Already have the feel of "superlink" to me though...
