Hi all,

I am a first time home buyer, looking to purchase my own stay at PJ/ Subang area due to work location. My budget is at most 530k. 1 bedroom is fine for me but my parents would prefer a 2 bedroom unit (whenever they come to KL and there will be an extra room for them).

I have seen several projects. They are either too small, too far or exceeded my budget. Alira Metropark Subang seems to be the best choice for now. But since it is completing in 2025, my family have been advising me to look for completed project or subsale. They are quite conservative.. whether new project will be abandoned halfway/ there is no actual unit to view.

I am not a risk taker and I do have some concern after reading through the Lowyat post on Alira. Appreciate if anyone can provide some advice on this project/ developer. Thank you.

For a single person, renting gives you more flexibility and is cheaper. A 500k loan is about 2.1k per month for 35 years and that excludes monthly maintenance charges.

Thanks Mini Orchard. That's my go to saying when my parents used to "encourage" me to get my own property. 😄

I have been renting for the past 7 years, get to enjoy the pros & cons of staying in different areas of PJ. I have also met good and bad owner/landlord, I think it is now the time to consider owning my first home and stay with my other half in long run.

530k for studio .... personally I wont consider a good buy if you have to work your whole life for it.

Anyway is your money, if you think is alright, then proceed.

Dont take my comment too personal.
