I feel you. My contractor just came back to me with quotation of RM50k++ just for simple moving in renovation like plaster ceiling, brick fencing, air conditioner piping, hot water piping & additional socket and light/fan wirings, excluding tiles, fixtures, fittings and air conditioner itself.

I only budgeted RM35k, need to downgrade so many things in my list to make up for the additional costs. Lucky for me most of the things in my list are "premium", so there is room for downgrades.

Location is mature as it is Subang. Downside is that it is not GnG. It is close to a hill and spotted a few monkeys before.

Oh house direction due to Fen Shui? It is facing South and side is facing East. It will be morning sun into the garden.

Am not a feng shui expert but a practical suggestion. If garden terrace facing west, the house is like oven in the evening. You wont enjoy going out to the garden.

Are you looking at Putra Heights Section 2 area ?

Oooo. Make sense.
Yes i am. Worth the investment?

My take if I am you ....

Sec 2/5 .. no for me. Dont like the surau there plus land contour not flat. Neighbours house could be higher or lower.

Sec 2/4 ... avoid A and B rows.

Sec 2/3 ... except for the back rows facing lrt track, ...E, F, G & H

Sec 2/2 ... ok

Sec 2/1 ... ok

Which is yours ? Land size ?

2/3 spot on. but only these area have huge corner land near the track. Probably need to look for other areas
