Hi all. I am a first buyer and need you all honest opinion. I am working in Cyberjaya. Planning to buy for own stay. We currently shortlist 3 properties, double storey intermediate terrace - Gamuda Cove Mori Pines, Serenia Anisa and Setia Safiro Isadora. Our total income monthly about 14k nett. Have 3 small kids. Below some pros and cons for each property from our perspective. Need you guys opinions which one is a good choice. Please add any pros and cons for each property if I missed out. Might overlooked as I am a first buyer.

Gamuda Cove Mori Pines-
pros: Good township plan. Cheap compared to Safiro. Near to Cyberjaya once the connecting bridge is complete.
cons: Leasehold and strata title. Completion date in 2027. Land area only 20' x 65'.

Serenia Anisa-
pros: Freehold and individual title. Got own gate - provide more privacy. Cheap compared to Safiro. Big land area, 22' x 70'. Completion date soon.
cons: Quite far from Cyberjaya - concern on the traffic during peak hours.

Setia Safiro Isadora-
pros: Freehold. Near to Cyberjaya. Big land area 22' x 70'. Completion date soon.
cons: Strata title. Price quite expensive - worry to commit high loan monthly.

Hi,
I checked out 2 of the places you mentioned, Mori Pines & Anisa. Both of these have almost same price. I ended up taking Anisa due to freehold. I liked the idea of nature park in Cove, but even Maybank do not want to finance houses there, for some reasons ( if u want Maybank as your financier, u should keep this in mind).

There's another leasehold property called Daun Villa at Cybersouth. They got terrace houses there also, price range like Mori/Anisa. Completion 2027.

Location wise, for me Serenia is not that far from Cyberjaya. I'm currently commuting Ampang-Cyberjaya on my workdays, so moving to Anisa a couple of years from now is a huge time saver for me.

Hi. Thanks a lot for your feedback. We did survey the Daun Villa project and went to the showhouse. Not really prefer the surrounding of that location - really new developing area and there is only 2 in/out road to highway. Compared to other 3, their location quite developed already and with the good developer reputation and planning, we expect these 3 locations will bloom in 5-6 years time. Not sure others opinion on this.

Good point on the diff between current and future commute time. Will consider this as well.

Can I know why Maybank wont finance Gamuda house?

Have to contend with bad jam between cyber and salak tinggi instead

You mean in evening after office hour is it? How bad is the traffic at dengkil bypass in morning and evening if I were to travel between serenia and cyberjaya? In google map it takes only about 20m-25min. Does this factor in the bad traffic?

I dont know the traffic condition of this route as I never use this highway during peak hours.

San, If you ask me. first i will chop out Anisa. Traffic jam ELITE highway will make you headache.
Kalau kerja Cyber and ada option untuk beli rumah berdekatan better pilih Safiro atau Cove.

Bajet monthly brapa san?

I might bias coz I am Covean but im almost place booking for Setia Safiro Oliveria before change to Gamuda Cove.

Yang kata Maybank taknak bagi loan tu tak tau la apa citer sebenar dia kan.
Tapi Maybank antara panel bank yang siap bagi incentive Hauzkey project cove itu hari haha
*
Thanks for your honest feedback bear. Bajet about 3.5-4.5k per month and we plan to settle the payment lagi cepat lagi bagus as this is for own stay.

Now you are staying in Cove? Hows the environment? Or your house belum siap lagi?

Boss,
You ask in GC thread, of course ppl here will say choose GC.

Personally, if you are working in Cyberjaya, just buy inside Cyberjaya.
Save you the headache of traffic jam and help reduce carbon emission....ya
Moreover petrol subsidy going to be remove soon and change to targeted subsidy.
If can choose stay next to office, better still, no need drive and is literally like WFH.
Even pay abit more is worth it as you save time, petrol, car maintenance, parking, maybe toll and jam headaches.

The proposed BRT services between Cyberjaya - KLIA - Bdr Baru Salak Tinggi - Dengkil - Putrajaya, if materialize and the stations are strategically located at MRT station, you may even not need to drive to KL. Key word - IF materialize....but i won't hold my breath....ya
*
Yes maybe majority in this thread will ask to choose GC but I want to know their perspective and reason why they choose GC. Just to get more opinions.

Thanks for your response. Your points on petrol, house next to office, future project and others also good one. I also ada baca in twitter many people complain about the jam at that area but not really sure on how bad it is.

Belum move in lagi san my house Enso Woods expected VP dalam bulan depan.
Within your budget boleh dapat price range 800 ~ 900k
Back in 2021 I manage to book SETIA SAFIRO - ELDESEO (END LOT 25x70) Built Up (20x70) : 2020sf nett price after rebate rm864k.
When I visit the show unit I feel rumah ni sangat sempit maybe disebabkan design dia. After that Gamuda launch Enso Woods at Gamuda cove.
New township with full of potential and more to come to Gamuda Cove. With the same nett price I manage to get unique design Type E1 enso woods 34x60 Intermediate built up 2369sqft.
**both price during pandemic cannot compared with today price

you can google Enso Woods Gamuda Cove Type E1 ID for show unit by line2pixel Enso Woods

https://www.line2pixels.com/portfolio/enso-wood/

Kalau nak dekat dengan office and concern pasal leased or freehold better go for Cyber.
Kalau nak leverage on built up and price boleh consider Gamuda Cove. Both place tak perlu risau pasal jarak kerja sebab GC akan link to Cyber very soon.

Instead of Mori Pines, have u look at Mio Spring? I guess u can get bigger than Mori Pines.
*
Nice house you got there bear! Wide and minimalist design and quite cheap some more. Congrats dapat kunci.

Watched some vids on Mio Spring and its price also macam tak jauh sangat dengan Mori Pines. Planning to visit the gallery soon. Thanks for advice.

for bank...they just want to do business and want to make sure no bad debt happened to their loan... IMHO, GC is selling at unsustainable pricing  (way too high compared neighborhood township, should not compared to Cyberjaya or Subang Jaya....instead should compared to BSP)... that's normal strategy for Gamuda to sell at premium price so that can make "atasness" to their buyers...like Apple....

If the biggest bank in Malaysia dont want to take risk... so better we as kecik miao to take aware
*
I dont know I'm not really buying cerita the bank dont want to finance the application actually. As far as I know, bank will really glad if someone wants to take loan from them as they will get a huge profit from from the interest. Maybe its between the bank and the one that apply the loan and not with the developer? Idk just guessing confused.gif

If you got budget, go for safiro. If like me, limited budget, go for cove. No need to consider serenia. That place very jam.

Yeah now I am thinking to choose between these two. Another plus point for Safiro is it is near a mosque since I am a muslim. Not sure where is the nearest mosque/surau in GC or they got any plan to build it as I cant find any news on this. But GC township concept also interested me. Can see this place will develop really quick once all the houses and shops occupied. Pening rclxub.gif

Suggest to also consider schools assigned to your future house/child care availability/after school classes etc. since you have kids. I viewed few projects in cbj, serenia, GC etc. before I decided to buy in cbj because of the schools in cbj, easy for me to travel to works, freehold, etc. Basically choose a location closest to your activities.
*
Yeah we take this into consideration too. Thanks for the advice.

If u don't mind me asking, which type for Mori Pines were u looking at?
I was snooping around last year with family members, and seem to recall for the first launch of Mori Pines (Mid 2023) the completion date was slated to be at Q3 2026.
Long story short, my brother's fam ended up booking and purchasing type C, and on their S&P the VP / delivery date is within 36months from his S&P agreement date (Oct 2023), and that makes the VP date to match the suggested completion date above.

Just curious if there was another launch recently for Mori Pines, the agent there did mention about another phase for Mori Pines which goes up to Type G.
*
If i am not mistaken it is type F. I think that is the only type left for Mori Pines. Type C is the 32'x70' is it? Hows your brothers house? All okay? Got many defects to repair? Still within DLP right?

I was personally considering both Mori Pines and Anisa - decided to go with the Cove option.
Price definitely at a premium, can't deny. But the overall development plan was more convincing.

If you are opting for Cove, feel free to PM for additional thoughts and also for referral program if you're keen to split.

Which house you chose? Mori Pines or Mio Spring?

Actually u can go visit the sales gallery and consult with one the SAs there like I did a few weeks ago.
If the SA lied to me about Maybank not financing the houses, then I lied to all of you.

I did visit the sales gallery last Sunday to see Mio Spring. But forgot to ask sweat.gif
For Serenia, early next year VP is it?

I went with the Type F Mori Pines. Felt it was sesuai la for my family in 3 years time, as the kids grow up and need their own space.

What options are you considering?

Also just an FYI for everyone, seems they only have 3 panels and yes Maybank is NOT one of them.

Have a choice between RHB, HLB, PBB. Make sure shop around for the best rates, 3.85% is possible depending on your situation of course.

I am leaning towards Mio Spring now. Please check your inbox pls
