It’s not only the tariffs are higher

But the thought of having non residential ppl hanging around ur living quarters doesn’t really appeal to me

Bluntly put it, ur living quarters is not a public pasar

is there such thing as service apartment, but at residential they charge you residential rate instead of commercial?
cause this is what i always heard from those sales people

my wife ppa1m application been pending for months closed to a year without updated current status

setiap kali tanya, the date will be extended to a new date

nokharom

Thing is, if you buy now the decent mall might not be decent any more when you're ready to move in. When you buy later, it will be more expensive.

I thought non residential will not get access to the living quarters areas and the facilities. The only place which is shared is usually the mall.

Ofcourse it will be more expensive, its called inflation.

But I dont see the problem here, my current property will also appreciate.

No raegrets.

The concierge signs my parcel for me everyday. I send my clothes to concierge for dry cleaning and someone will pick them up.

The concierge bitches about his work in another serviced apartment servicing Malaysian resident so I hear juicy stories from him.

Also the concierge is way smarter and has a better career chance ahead because he has a Master in Law and practiced for the past 7 years but got retrenched..

Heard it was around 0.25-0.33 per square feet last time which is not that much of a difference compared to current residential apartments.

To put it simple, maintenance fee (excluding sinking fund and quit rent) is basically the maintenance cost (facilities, cleaning, security) shared by the number of units in the development. Then, the amount you need to paid is based on your unit's square feet X fee per square feet.

More facilities and service, less units = extra expensive
Less facilities and service, more units = cheaper

If not much facilities and expenses but still expensive, then something is wrong. Check with JMB or MC. There are cases where JMB/MC was accused of mismanagement.

I just want to stay in a condo/apartment that doesn't have all these added facilities, rather just pay for the basics like apartment/condo upkeep. For those pool or gym, i rather go to a reputable place that actually takes care of their equipment and pool.

Thing is in Malaysia, if you buy those apartments/condo with no facilities is considered like PPR.

I don't think it is out-rightly wrong, or ones is always default-ly programmed to be regret for buying a service apartment.

I saw too many people profited from their transactions of their service apartments, or many who happily live in a services apartment.

Properties is really a case by case matter.

if include topless maid then can consider

Yup... only old condos / apartments doesn't have all the bells n whistles now...

second to this. most people font even know what service apartment is

never heard of serviced apartment charging residential rate, only electricity rate can convert for some.
but things like quit rent (cukai pintu) will always be commercial rate


try 1.80-2.50 per sqft.
last time got quoted this viewing unit at old klang road.

do you have information on service apartment like Geo Bukit Rimau?
actually i was told previously from the sales person that we are charged residential rate for electricity and water.
maintenance fee is 0.30 per sqft

but anyhow, i moved on and went for Tropicana Aman apartments
maintenance fee is 0.30 per sqft

Understand for cukai pintu.

nope, sorry
my info is mostly from previous visits to showroom, online research, and experience sharing from others.
