for myself, i will take the risk to get a landed .LOL....
but make sure u like the landed you purchase, else lot of unexpected problem popping out later.

IJM play safe ma, most probably due to water supply issue as nowadays many developers giving VP for landed 3 years instead of 2.

The reason we like is because it is landed and we no need fork out so much money for this compare to subsales...definitely for own stay if we buy landed. our mistake is the apartment on hands.without it, we can easily make decision. initially planned to stay in the apartmnet we bought in equine park. After that we realize that we prefer a landed instead of apartment.

I like the landed,affordable but really not sure about the future of this area. hopefully its good lor since so many big developer came in and hopefully it will become another pj/setia alam or whatever in the future. Area is not an option for youngster like me anymore...what i hope is to buy a landed for my future family. is either now or later...just that wanna make sure i make the right decision compare to the previous 1...lol...

But the problem is my gf n i shared name to purchase our first apartment 2 years ago...can we still get 90% loan now ? chances high ? this is the second problem i can think of if we decide to purchase this.

Thanks everyone.

2nd resi prop can still get 90% loan, if either u or gf taking 3rd resi prop then 70% loan oni.

1. Since you already visited this area and love it - Done
2. This area development and future, my view definite great, it least got 2 international school, and commercial plan, retirement village and more than 20 events per year (3 developers).. haha - Done
3. For own stay, this price for you is afforable and allow you 2 years collect bullet too - Done

So i guess no much problem, just whether you need consider you ok with the distance between your working place and canal city area? But another 1 years ++, highway will open link to SKVE and Elite

i don't think buying that apartment was a mistake, youngster nowadays prefer to spend on entertainments and car come first.
congratz on your first apartment and wise decision is made actually

a lot of positive and negative comment on Canal City in all the 3 threads, ES TA BR. you have to analyze it
be noted that commercial hype is nothing to do with own stay residential, i think you prefer a peaceful env that away from hustle and bustle city, and of course that must be minimum of groceries/food around your residential too, which i think it will be happen in Canal City
travel to kk via the 3 roundabouts for food is not a bad idea either, a few kopitiam are around with varieties of chinese food, even seen a few chinese muslim restaurants in KK, seem it is demanded to open ?? not sure..
groceries wise can try the hero market, hearsay it is a high standard hero compare to other hero in different location.

My opinion, Canal city very similar to Kota Damansara or earlier Bandar Utama.

Once you said, i feel it's really look like.

Commies in KK traffic jam daily, some more the main roads leading to the roundabouts only 2 lanes? Quite narrow leh.

Want to makan McD there oso long Q, terrible traffic.

Yup, got corporate tower and shopping mall in the plan (if can bring something like Ikea, then exactly the same liao)

Close to Subang/Sunway (just like PJ/TTDI)

Leasehold like KD and Bandar Utama

Highway oriented township (WCE/LKSA/ELITE like LDP/NKVE/Sprint)

hmmm...sound very familiar....

oh..yeah....that's what I'm doing now....

As i said, impact is only minimum for investors like u and me.
Genuine buyers, upgraders will not be affected..

Upgraders & genuine buyers also will thnk 3 times lo before buying expensive props above 800K due to the deteriorating economy, banks are downsizing and many are offering VSS/MSS, Stan Chart will be firing 15K staff worldwide Scary news leh, so they may buy Penduline lo instead of Terraza, Monterery, Periwinkle, Bayan etc!

Realistically, the whole area, BR, ES, TA will only come alive after 4 to 5 years, no one will shift in as construction is all over the area. It took kota kumuning maybe 10 to 15 years to get fully occupied.

I think you need to prepare to stay at your new condo for that period of time and also paying for your new house for min 4 to 5 years, after that you could either rent out or sale your condo

minister yanyan said traffic jam is due to it is vibrant enough . LOLLLL

went dinner in kk last sat evening, between 7-7.30, no jam
if talking about peak hour, which area in kl is without jam ?

I checked. It's a 2-year project.
Btw unless it's a very large scale project or for some unique reason, it will still be 2 yrs for individual-titled dev.

nope, the plan of his is to move into penduline, so the apartment will be for sale/rent.
if penduline is an investment plan, then holding for 4-5 years are needed.

it seem commercial in canal will rely on BR shoplot even after vp of penduline.

Pros & cons la President, vibrant commie can get almost anything there but horrible jam or quiet commie & also peaceful life staying nearby!

I was at the KK commie at 3pm+ considered peak hour? Jam like crazy leh!

diff price come with diff product, buyer can choose either 1
feel blessed to have different range of product that can provide options for potential buyer to eye on

2 years is fast, make sure you have enough cash flow to hold after vp, in coming 2 years don't think our economy will be good. 4yrs for condo to vp should be safe, no?

iyo, very hard ler, some buyer expect vibrant commie, vibrant of course cum with side effect of traffic jam.
some expect commie pls stay far away from my house, very hard indeed.

solution for current commie in kk maybe to widen the road ? LOL
i am not resident of kk currently, dare not comment much .LOL
