So the story is that, me and gf are currently living with my parents at my parents place.
We are both age to get married and planning to get our own place.
Sadly with no savings enough for downpayment, we opted to go for project under constructions due to completed in ~2-2.5yrs Price 600k, 960sqft
Hearing this, my mum suggested to rebuild our current place.
Having quoted for construction cost of about 400k-450k for 1 1/2 story with combined floor of 2600sqft.
New hse - 960sqft, RM600k, freehold
Pros
- own place
- linked to highway and KTM station
- downstairs is a mall
- high floor, KLCC view
Cons
- high floor (inconvenience if blackout/no water)
- under constructions
Rebuild - 2600sqft, ~RM450k, leasehold (~90yrs left)
Pros
- Cheaper
- landed
- parents can take care of children if having one in future
Cons
- Still living with parents, not own place
Hope someone could shine some light on this, maybe share exp if encounter before.
n u expecting them to take care of your child...ermm..no...pity ur parents a bit la..give them the freedom they need.
