So far, the real USJ (USJ 2 - USJ 27) are relatively flood proof, except perhaps flash floods along main driveways (the Persiaran roads) caused by heavy rain that usually recedes very quickly.

USJ 1 areas located beside Klang River are the ones severely affected by floods, especially the Dec 2021 floods and once again in March this year.

Good area to stay for working .

Personally i would avoid to stay around usj1 as you will be facing heavy traffic at mydin and damen.

I would suggest to search around usj 2-4 due to nearby entry to federal highway both to Klang and KL

Boss,
Maybe you can share what is your requirements.
If ownstay, what is your priority? Build up, amenities such as near to Taipan commercial or further away for some serenity etc?
Investment, what is the time frame, expected return and investment objective etc

Each phase although similar, each has their pros and cons.
Budget seems to be around 700K has a few choices.
Need to narrow it down

Hi Boss,
USJ 14 is on the factory side with Persiaran Kewajipan being the divider road.
Personally, I prefer the opposite side like USJ 9 and 13 which is more residential side. USJ 13 being close to the LRT Wawasan station and also SMK USJ 13 (pretty good school) would be a better choice.

It is smaller than USJ 9 I e. less dense and doesn't has a very big mosque in it (sorry, don't mean to offend our Muslim friends).

Moreover, usj 13 has 2 fields, one in front of the school and another just next to the LRT station. A bit more open space.to enjoy some greenery. USJ 13 is also fence and guarded but since the school is inside, you get a bit more traffic coming in during school hours.

Like my Boss use to say, got pros sure got cons

u r right bro, i also looking on usj 13, but the interior design and land size is smaller ,around 20x60, and the asking price at there r very premium..
whereas usj 14 is 20x65, interior design much better leads less cost to reno..
in a dilemma..

Boss,
Difference is only 5ft at the back. Width the same.
Inside layout can change with money but location cannot change that easily. (Need alot more money)

It is obvious usj 13 command that premium for a few reason and 10 years down the road, those premium will just get higher and higher while usj14 will remain relatively stagnant without any notable USP.

May I ask what in the price difference?

Boss,
I think from the bank valuation you gave you can already see that USJ13 commands a premium vs usj14.

Even at a disadvantage of smaller build up and land size, they command a pricing at par or only slightly lower with a bigger build up and larger land in USJ14.

As I said, inside you can still reno to make bigger. Location, amenities like the school and LRT station, density etc you cannot change.

Happy hunting ...ya
Do share you results...ya

many people left USJ to kota kemuning because high crime, too many entry and exit with shops, schools and worship places next to homes, therefore cannot fence up.

most notorious was USJ 1,2,6 with many migrants and rental crowd. even usj 3,12,13 14 and usj 9 are vulnerable and many foreign tenants, and cannot be fenced effectively.
last time while visiting house at usj 13, the tenant actually revealed that her next door was recently burglared.

some locations are improving with partial guards/fencing like ,4,11,5 ,16,17,18,21, better balance of convenience and security.

i think usj 24,25,26, PUtra heights sek 1,2,3 are much better for security and greenery and bigger plots, but opposite of ldp,

As to those many have left usj because of various reasons, at the same time, many have also moved to usj and these are similar to other townships.

It will be good if you can share official statistics of crime rates on the two areas mentioned .

True, I also moved to USJ a little more than a year ago and the main reason is the location. However, as USJ is a very huge township, perhaps one should view houses at the various sections and choose one that suits their needs. Personally, I would avoid USJ 1 due to the traffic and the entire area is mixed with high-rises, industrial areas, etc).

if my understanding is correct, originally USJ 1 only covered the area where DaMen, Summit, SEGi College, HeiTech buildings located.

The area to the east of Persiaran Subang towards the Klang River were not supposed to be part of USJ. The landed houses there were supposed to be Taman Subang Mewah and they sit on former tin mining land, hence they are leasehold while Sime Darby's USJ sit on former plantation land. Read before somewhere there was some hanky panky that resulted in these areas eventually being assigned USJ 1 addresses.

And you can see the mess of the entire area there, compared with USJ 2 to USJ 27 & Putra Heights - which are properly developed by Sime Darby and a few other developers based on Sime's master plan.

As to those many have left usj because of various reasons, at the same time, many have also moved to usj and these are similar to other townships.

It will be good if you can share official statistics of crime rates on the two areas mentioned .
*
i am sorry , as you would have already expected, i dont have official statistics, which i dont think is made available by any govt source. anwyay there is a police video on that issue usj crime statistic


no, people who move out and move in to USJ are not for similar reasons. you can check out Kota kemuning, canal city and all new townships are GnG or at least FnG with single entry exit and separate commercial and public building zone.
those outsiders who move in to USJ are attracted by the convenience, popularity and connectivity of the township but only realise later why old owners left.
and you can go around USJ, all townships have multiple entry exits and commericial or public buildings are in next to housing,

for context you can read old news below, situation have improved slightly with private security but due to open taman concept, still vulnerable.

Boss,
Difference is only 5ft at the back. Width the same.
Inside layout can change with money but location cannot change that easily. (Need alot more money)

It is obvious usj 13 command that premium for a few reason and 10 years down the road, those premium will just get higher and higher while usj14 will remain relatively stagnant without any notable USP.

May I ask what in the price difference?

My opinion, 14 is more of mixed development compared to 13 and 6.

Buyers looking for a home would want a residential place away from 'chup' place.

Drive around both places and compare. Definite you will see a difference. Price diff dont just appear from nowhere.

House design, layout, service roads, racial profile are also good reasons why more prefer certain areas.

If you think you are right, that matters because you are buying.

But there are always reasons for price differences, albeit all looks the same. And some are willing to pay a higher price for it.

One need to live few years there to know the area better and whether the decision was right at the begining. This is one reason why people buy, sell and buy again.

Bro,
Since you choose oledi, why still curious?
Decision made on what you have gather and what you think is the right choice.

Each phase have their pros and cons.
What is important to me may not be to you.
Each individuals will rank the pros in each phase differently according to their priorities or preference.

If you cannot identify the pros and cons of each phase or missed out in identifying them, then your DD was not done comprehensive enough. This happens to everyone, myself included and it's part of the learning process. You have to learn from these mistakes and not to repeat them.

If you are curious after deciding, it only means u have doubt in your decision. If you want someone to say, "Great choice Bro", to make you feel better, well anyone can just say that but only time will tell.

Part and parcel of buying a property.

There is no perfect house or location no matter how much one do the checking.

Environment, social and security will come into your future decisions whether is still condusive to live there.

I would say it is 90% hard work and 10% luck.
You can do everything right but if 1 of your neighbor is an Idiot, nothing can be done.

Like Boss Mini orchard say, if not right you can also dispose it. Just make sure all the USP you identified are still there and you will be able to sell without incurring any loses or minimum.

The key thing is you did your DD and those positive points are still there. Like I mentioned previously USJ 13 is more residential, LRT station, USJ13 school, 2 reasonable size parks, fence and guarded and surrounded by other residential phase. These points will remain and I was informed that recently an end-lot unit near the LRT station was sold for 690K. Another end-lot unit nearer to the school was sold for 710K. These are actual transactions, not asking price.
Prices last year or the year before was in the range of 660K.

As you can see, prices of landed with positives points are still creeping up, some higher than others but generally an upward trend.

Similarly, it is not the 1 Millon you paid that you should be concern with but more about did you buy something that commands that value. Hence the saying, price you paid is 1 million, what is the value you get?

Congrats Boss ...
Not sure if USJ14 is flood prone or not.
Did recall that area flooded once just a few years back.

Anyway, any area now can be subject to flood due to climate change. Previously non flood area could also be experiencing flood due to extremely high rain fall.

USJ 14, Usj 8, Usj 7 and the factories lot behind it are all on lower land compared with Taipan, usj 9, 13, 17, 18 and 11. After this the land slope back down in usj12, usj 4 and usj 3 before reaching the Kesas highway.

When you drive into Taipan, especially to the McD area from Foo Hing dim sum, you notice it's going up a bit of slope. All the way until you reach Rhb bank just before a T junction. Haven't see this area flood in the last 20 years.

Similarly, when you look at the Mosque in USJ 9, fronting Persiaran Kewajipan, you will notice the shops next to the mosque is higher than the road. These are tell tale sign that the opposite end are on lower ground thus will flood first when heavy rain. Which was what happened in 2019 and Persiaran Mulia, USJ 8, 14 and the factories was flooded but USJ 6, 9, 11, 13, 16, 17, 18 was relatively unaffected or only minor flooding. The factories in USJ 1 and the surrounding experience flooding during last year end massive flood.

Similarly, when you choose a subsale house, you need to check the entire stretch it is located. See if both corner house at each end are located on the same ground level.

Hope this helps.

13/5c is near the LRT station but also near Persiaran Kewajipan road.
You will get some noise from the trains and dust from the main road.
But not a deal breaker.

But the opposite end near the school also headache because the traffic during school start and finish is really bad. Especially those houses facing the field in front of the school.

So got pros also got cons.

Either usj 6 or 13, both are good choices.
FnG may not be your priority but you must also consider when comes exiting time. Your buyer may prioritize this or the school or the LRT station. So it appeals to a wider group of buyer, enhancing your exit strategy.

All the best...ya

for me there can be segregate it to convinent area and not so convinent area, for me, usj 13 is the most convinent place under 20x60 categories. for price 650 at there will be harder ti found.

Usj2 I'll categorised as convenient area, as the distance to highway is really short, hence less jam.

This has reflected in the price hike for usj 2 as well.

According to agents, usj2, 5 prices is slowly creeping up for unknown reason.

I would say it is 90% hard work and 10% luck.
You can do everything right but if 1 of your neighbor is an Idiot, nothing can be done.

Like Boss Mini orchard say, if not right you can also dispose it. Just make sure all the USP you identified are still there and you will be able to sell without incurring any loses or minimum.

The key thing is you did your DD and those positive points are still there. Like I mentioned previously USJ 13 is more residential, LRT station, USJ13 school, 2 reasonable size parks, fence and guarded and surrounded by other residential phase. These points will remain and I was informed that recently an end-lot unit near the LRT station was sold for 690K. Another end-lot unit nearer to the school was sold for 710K. These are actual transactions, not asking price.
Prices last year or the year before was in the range of 660K.

As you can see, prices of landed with positives points are still creeping up, some higher than others but generally an upward trend.

Similarly, it is not the 1 Millon you paid that you should be concern with but more about did you buy something that commands that value. Hence the saying, price you paid is 1 million, what is the value you get?

many people left USJ to kota kemuning because high crime, too many entry and exit with shops, schools and worship places next to homes, therefore cannot fence up.

most notorious was USJ 1,2,6 with many migrants and rental crowd.  even usj  3,12,13 14 and usj 9 are vulnerable and many foreign tenants, and cannot be fenced effectively.
last time while visiting house at usj 13, the tenant actually revealed that her next door was recently burglared.

some locations are improving with  partial guards/fencing like ,4,11,5 ,16,17,18,21,  better balance of convenience and security.

i think usj 24,25,26, PUtra heights sek 1,2,3  are much better for security and greenery and bigger plots, but opposite of ldp,

Similarly, when you look at the Mosque in USJ 9, fronting Persiaran Kewajipan, you will notice the shops next to the mosque is higher than the road. These are tell tale sign that the opposite end are on lower ground thus will flood first when heavy rain. Which was what happened in 2019 and Persiaran Mulia, USJ 8, 14 and the factories was flooded but USJ 6, 9, 11, 13, 16, 17, 18 was relatively unaffected or only minor flooding. The factories in USJ 1 and the surrounding experience flooding during last year end massive flood.

Similarly, when you choose a subsale house, you need to check the entire stretch it is located. See if both corner house at each end are located on the same ground level.

When you drive into Taipan, especially to the McD area from Foo Hing dim sum, you notice it's going up a bit of slope. All the way until you reach Rhb bank just before a T junction. Haven't see this area flood in the last 20 years.

Similarly, when you look at the Mosque in USJ 9, fronting Persiaran Kewajipan, you will notice the shops next to the mosque is higher than the road. These are tell tale sign that the opposite end are on lower ground thus will flood first when heavy rain. Which was what happened in 2019 and Persiaran Mulia, USJ 8, 14 and the factories was flooded but USJ 6, 9, 11, 13, 16, 17, 18 was relatively unaffected or only minor flooding. The factories in USJ 1 and the surrounding experience flooding during last year end massive flood.

Similarly, when you choose a subsale house, you need to check the entire stretch it is located. See if both corner house at each end are located on the same ground level.

Hope this helps.

I used to rent a house in usj6 about 15 years ago. small landed house. That time owner wanted to let go RM260k. But some ppl around me told me that usj price wont go up anymore and was saturated bla3x. Now I think that house probably can sell at RM 650k. hahahaha.

Not all USJ without g&g.

I got relative stay in usj more then 15 years, that area very low crime rate, only some cases of shoes stolen before gated, after gated no more cases.

His friend stay in USJ 11 gated also no case after gated.

kK previously also got cases , my friend house burglary because not gated.

As long as not gated, sure got cases.

I stay in puchong about 15 years, people said puchong high crime rate lah, cant stay lah, my area very low rate, previously only guarded not gated still got small case like shoe stolen, some smart tag coin stolen for some owner didnt lock their car etc, after gated zero cases, got someone with parang try to enter into our taman in the mid night during covid time, but luckily the guard stop them and fight with them, but i heard the same group of robbers already done few cases in non gated area.

That is why, i always advise anyone to get the landed with gng, even if only hi bye security is better than nothing, most of the cases happen in non gated and non guarded housing area

No matter robbery or burglary, most of them need to escape soonest after done, for sure they will targetting non gated residential area. Car stolen case also same, normally they will choose non gated. Especially USJ area, only few area is gated, they will

Last time my taman before gated, the hi bye security also can catch two indo try to illegal break in a corner lot unit , someone saw it and call the security, then the security head organize with the guards together with some strong residents go to catch them. And police come later to arrest them. Now gated also hi bye, but they will stop and check the stranger especially come with motor, truck and van one.

Hi Boss,
USJ 14 is on the factory side with Persiaran Kewajipan being the divider road.
Personally, I prefer the opposite side like USJ 9 and 13 which is more residential side. USJ 13 being close to the LRT Wawasan station and also SMK USJ 13 (pretty good school) would be a better choice.

It is smaller than USJ 9 I e. less dense and doesn't has a very big mosque in it (sorry, don't mean to offend our Muslim friends).

Moreover, usj 13 has 2 fields, one in front of the school and another just next to the LRT station. A bit more open space.to enjoy some greenery. USJ 13 is also fence and guarded but since the school is inside, you get a bit more traffic coming in during school hours.

Like my Boss use to say, got pros sure got cons

SMK usj 13 is a pretty good school or just moderate school boss?

Why would it be difficult to re-sell later on ?
If the location is good, its freehold, nearby amenities and transport hubs, should be good to go,

That's why...

Need at least 22 to have space for 2 cars...

Nowadays developers all cut here & there

Become 20 now... 22 is okay. Acceptable... 24 much better

22x7*: usj 3,4,5(very² limited supply here),11,12, 17 and beyond/newer
24x7*: usj 5,11, 17 and beyond.
20x60: 2,3,6,12,13.

20x60 price now starts from 600k for a original developer condition.
Add 100-200k if you choose a renovated house.

22x7* starts from 800k now.

24x7* starts from 850-900 depending on security presence.

Usj5 due to its strict security and rare subsale availability, price starts from 1 mil now. Last year there's a few up for sale but all grabbed.

I noticed a lot of young couples looking for landed now to renovate and settle down. Trend is definitely moving back to landed, if hype is selling 600k for 2B2R, a old landed with 4R3B at 600k sounds decent isn't it.

If you choose to make good and rewire, re-pipinf, painting only. Can be achieved below 100k.

u r right, young couples prefer landed now, i also not sure why, they dont prefer condo.
last time people are prefer condo due to the facilities, but i guess maybe because of current trend not convenient for electric car charge and also being trough covid time, people nowadays not prefer denz place

Basically young couple still prefer condo because of rarely got new landed in strategic location.

Just some of the young couple have more cash, only can afford subsales.

Given a choice, young couples will opt for landed hands down.

The issue is location bcos prime location or good location, developer don't build landed but build non-landed making it the only option unless want to stay far away from their choice location.

Buying sub-sale is also scary or risky for these group of ppl bcos it is a huge commitment and they are buying the first time without any prior experience. Hence they play safe and buy newly launch with low upfront and with warranty for whatever it is worth. A risk mitigation strategy. Developers and some influencers understand this thinking very well.

So choose wisely....ya

Boss,
U miss my point.
My post was referring to the value one gets for the amount of money one pays be it a landed vs non landed but within the same vicinity.

Your view that landed has to be big is subjective view and more towards preference as some ppl can be okay with smaller landed size.

Otherwise there won't be ppl paying 1.8mil to 2mil for a 18ft wide landed or 1.2mil to 1.4mil for a single storey landed.
If those properties are old, try telling to paramount their recent launch of sejati residences phase 4.

Sejati Lakeside Phase 4

Sorry, typo error, it's sejati Residences and not lakeside.

20x60 is very comfortable for a family of 4-5. I grew up in one. So yes it's OK.

Now subang landed is so much more worth compared to what Sime is offering in their apartments.

It is a 20x60. Am simply attracted to the ready to move in renovation when doing online search and it falls between my budget. I also compared USJ 13 as many sifus here recommended but all the letting go units are bare/old, dont have the extra bullet to renovate much..

You can try and look around USJ 6.

I grew up here and am still living here with my family.

Overall pretty decent and there's LRT and BRT within walking distance which is a plus.

For me the only downside is the low cost flats near the LRT stations, you'll sometimes see kids running around the roads and endangering their own lives. So be careful driving if you're around the flat's vicinity.

But all in all a decent place.

I think noone can really give you the advice.

Firstly, you nees the home with ready move in condition, noone know your acceptance level, and searching online wouldnt help much, most of the actual unit is at least 20% worse than online/agent's photo, believe me, i was complete at least 30 houses viewing before i bought my current subsales unit.

Secondly, if you not rush to buy, i think high possibility you just ask for fun. Subsales unit is not like developer unit, each subsales unit is unique, without house viewing is hardly to know the real condition, unless you have some budget for renovation.

My advise is, just contact some agents, go to house viewing, after view at least 5 houses, then you will have different perspective than currently you just search online, then you will have idea what you need to prepare for property purchase.

Do not under estimate the cost to own an old subsales landed, it will be much higher than your estimation.

Usj 13 is high recommendation, but for ready move in condition, should higher than you budget.

Should be 22 x 75...2 storeys. 3 room upstairs, 1 room downstairs.
I think the 1.5 storey only has 1 room upstairs.

The playground in USJ11 is quite nice and full of activities.

USJ11 if renovated, easily 850 - 900k now. Kitchen extensions these days cost more than 100k.

Buy subsale only for its location. The renovations gonna cost another 1/3 of the house paid. Better buy a new house at the outskirts if reaching retirement age. Lots of newly launched houses in Broga, Semenyih areas for around 700k, no need renovations headache except for built ins eg cabinets. Cost of living slightly lower, spending less cos less meet-up yumcha with friends and also less impulsive shopping. But only good if you are reaching retirement age or kids are independent already. Don’t have to fetch them from schools, colleges or unis.
Used to stay around USJ 5 areas while working at Sunway, then moved to OKR. Just before retirement, decided to move to Semenyih. Tired of the traffics, noise and sound pollutions and am glad we made the move. Went back to OKR periodically and what a nightmare the whole road is due to the numbers of condos there and built jalil areas.

But some time susah gak! if we have our relatives and friends who are around the main area. My hubby had been discussion on the same topic, should we move out from USJ once we retire, but we are so used this place which was built on western concept of self sufficient estate, most of the shops and necessities are within walking distance and Taipan business center is just 5 mins away. Wish we could find a similar community/estate!

Since you are Budak Subang, just continue stay there. No need to move out. Subang is not a jam as other say.

Subang is a unique area where there's nice blend of people from different race and nationality. We loved in harmony for so many years, and people are well mannered here as well.

I think noone can really give you the advice.

Firstly, you nees the home with ready move in condition, noone know your acceptance level, and searching online wouldnt help much, most of the actual unit is at least 20% worse than online/agent's photo, believe me, i was complete at least 30 houses viewing before i bought my current subsales unit.

Secondly, if you not rush to buy, i think high possibility you just ask for fun. Subsales unit is not like developer unit, each subsales unit is unique, without house viewing is hardly to know the real condition, unless you have some budget for renovation.

My advise is, just contact some agents, go to house viewing, after view at least 5 houses, then you will have different perspective than currently you just search online, then you will have idea what you need to prepare for property purchase.

Do not under estimate the cost to own an old subsales landed, it will be much higher than your estimation.

Usj 13 is high recommendation, but for ready move in condition, should higher than you budget.

I am targeting to buy in this year. Went to a few house viewing, it looks like I gotta slightly increase my budget lol.

Mind sharing what to take note when buying a sub sales? Other than leakage water mark, direct water supply bypassing or not, mbsj approval for extension (owner say it is approved, is there a way to double check by myself?)

Subsale, you can nego till the price both parties agrees.

Termite infestation need to take note. Regardless, still need to do termite treatment before you move in.

Prepare some budget to re-wire and re-pipenthe whole house. Do upgrade it to 3 phase wiring if you are re-wiring. This will future proof your house and also has the option to charge EV.

Mbsj approval usually has a CCC. Ask from the seller.

One of the most problematic area is water pipes. USJ was built in the 1990s, the metal pipes would tend to get clogged inside. Easiest way is to check all the taps and see if there's good water pressure. Next thing is to get a ladder, open up the access panel, no need to climb up but to see if the roof tiles got any stars or light shining in. For termites, they usually like the small room below the staircase or kitchen. Water gutters usually would be rusted or broken. Go check out the house during raining day, daytime and drive around during night time. Look out for neighbours parking right outside yr house and also chat with neighbours if possible.

Ask owner show you CCC and approved floor plan, double check the approved floor plan with CCC is it tally to the current house floor plan, example car porch roof is it tally to CCC, any balcony or kitchen extension is difference to the CCC, it could happen the CCC approval is for last renovation, and the latest renovation is without ccc, then you will headache in future if you want to do renovation at car porch and fencing.

Please aware the demolish and build the new car porch fencing is required plan drawing and submiision done by approved architect, and need to attach CCC, if MBSJ officer come to check and found your current house is not tally with latest CCC, they can either not approve any renovation permit, or ask you to resume everything according to CCC. My relative kenal one, need to demolish one of the unapproved awning only can proceed with renovation application.

If you choose to start renovation without approval, the officer can come to stop the construction and give penalty. It might generate more trouble to you.

For subsales house in USJ execpt USJ height etc those newer project, most of the house need to change the whole house piping , and if budget allow can rewiring. If you have no budget to change piping, can ask specialist to wash the whole house piping by food grade chemical. But i heard that is a risk of pipe burst/leak because of high pressure.

If you interested to buy some unit, can choose to view that house after raining within 1 days, at least can see the water mark. But roof is recommend to do water proof coating and change the broken roof tiles. Roof top leaking is unavoidable for old house, if ex owner never change it, even if currently no leak, it can leak in coming 5 to 10 years. Just avoid the serious leaking house, if water mark too obvious, try to.avoid.

Neighbour hood also important, you can try to monitor the neighbours.

Boss,
Just a different point of view....ya

If looking for subsale, more attention should be place on the unit location, higher ground, facing, parks, ample parking, guards, LRT station, amenities, no HTC, heavy traffic, swtp etc.
House condition, even if recently renovated you won't know everything until you move in and stay there for 6 months to a year. Unless the previous owner give you 12 months warranty....la

A basic house in a superb location is better than a nicely renovated house in a lousy location.
Renovation is best done oneself as you can control the quality of material use and it isn't necessary to do all at 1 go.
Of course some parts like piping and wiring and flooring and any wet works is best done before you move in.
Depending on budget, what you can defer, it maybe better to defer as manatau you may not like staying there after 2 to 3 years and decide to house hunting again.
Remember, you can spend 500k for renovation but banks / valuer normally won't recognize that 500k during valuation, if lucky maybe they recognize 50% of it, if lucky.

Happy hunting Boss....

Nicely said. Renovation best done according to ones taste. Landed link house is a luxury in it's own.

Nowadays matured location is worth more than far aware location.

Try not to spend more than 30% of the SPA price in case bank don't recognise the spent amount. Renovation of 500k on a 800k house doesn't means you can sell 1.3mil. It's easier to sell a 1.0mil house (800k+200k Reno).

On the same token, a seller may say the market price is RM800k and renovation cost RM200k. Therefore the selling price is RM1.0m. But your bank value the house at RM800k, and would only give loan of 80% based on 800k. Therefore your loan is 640k. Which means to say you need cash of 160k + 200k to buy that house. Never be taken in by the renovation costs.

Boss, that's why it's called house hunting.
Good location i would say in general USJ is pretty good and also the places you mentioned.
But all good location will also have not so good area and good area.

The thing i wanted to highlight to TS is that finding a unit located in a good area takes priority over the renovation done.

And if you can find a unit that's in good location, nicely renovated and below a million, better keep quiet.
Otherwise ppl will come and buy it before you can call the agent or maybe agent themselves sapu first..

You staying in USJ as well?

Still have quite a number of subsale houses with good location, 'nicely renovated' and below a million that I see, even in USJ. But somehow still will have some cons here and there (neighbor, house condition, size, etc. etc.)

If buying landed property >20yo, I would think a basic unit would be preferred choice without paying for any reno cost previous owner had spent. I could save the purchase costs to strip all fixtures to check for any defect problems, and most importantly, re-wire and re-pipe the whole house so that I know at least for next 10 yrs I would not need to worry of wear n tear from old wiring n piping issues.

So depends on own budget, if going for old property, that's additional budget one needs to spare.

If piping only, you need to at least change the tile for all toilet, for kitchen piping, the contractor can connect from main valve, then go up to roof, and connect from the back from the house, the most budget one. Bur if you can find the same tile, or you not care about the different color of tile or currently the house is come with PVC flooring, then still can do underground pipe change with less cost. Bit If you want to change your whole house tile, repiping is not costly.

Rewiring i am note sure how much, but it is not that difficult to do, and the wire can just remove from wall by hacking, for tile wall, they can insert in between of tile, just cutting a bit of tile and filling with white or grey cement, still not that bad.

I guess 10 to 15k for both repiping and rewiring, and rewirinc cost is higher than repiping. Next week i check with contractor again as the electrician will come, my contractor do repiping for me because i change all tiles for whole house, painful.

I am the one buying renovated unit, in the begin i thinking just budget do, only change the tile in toilet (redo water proofing) and remove upper floor wood flooring. But in the end, do more and more.

By the way, as my experience of current house, and my house in hometown, wire are quite lasting, my hometown house already 30 years after renovation and move in, now all wiring still function well.

My current stay in puchong already 15 years from developer, so far everything is good on wiring.

Wow good detailed info, thanks. For wiring, what to look out for? Yeah the house i bought subsale also almost 30 years, but not sure if condition good or not. Then there are also things like DC box, three-phase etc etc.

If you are to rewire whole house. Upgrade it to 3 phase.

This will increase the value of your house

Any good info/video here on lowyat or Youtube etc. regarding all this electrical terms for landed houses in Malaysia? Still learning all these electrical terms, plus a lot of videos on youtube not really applicable for malaysia homes.

And then 3 phase something like better to put one DB downstairs and one DB upstairs? Not sure if i'm even using the correct terms or understanding, just happen to read a bit last time

Basically you split the electricity supply into your house into 3 separate line. So the risk of overloading will be less, and you can have more AC point and even a full Power AC EV charger in your house. Without 3 phase wiring, EV charger will be limited. To further future proof, you can even install solar panel and the NEM meter with TNB.

As for piping, good to re-pipe whole house if budget permits, old pipe tends to clog up causing lower water pressure. Not to mention the old water tangki, good to change then along with new pipe.

3rd will be toilet upgrade, pipe, tiling, waterproof and toiletries. All these if it's new, you will feel more comfortable as a home.

The above 3 to me is essential for old landed terrace. Shouldn't cost more than 50k.

If budget permits, then the rest will be good to have.
- autogate, new and bigger gate will make your house appears to be wider.
- flooring, parquet(common in old sime Darby houses). If possible polish it or replace with new ones.
- windows, doors etc.
-kitchen. Replace if needed,.some owners might've upgraded their kitchen recently.
- extension. This will require a lot of cash and MBSJ permit but if done correctly and frugally, will add long term value. An extended house with permit can fetch better value.

Yes thanks for the detailed breakdown, will help a lot and also very applicable for usj subsale houses which are all mostly quite old. Woah if the 3 essential things(plumbing, electricity, and bathroom) really can cost less than RM50k that will be good. But not sure if retiling the bathroom will jack up the costs

Fully agreed with these must do, just in my view, one more must do to add if buying old house - engage a good roofing specialist to do full roof and gutters inspection. Not necessary must do full replacement but check for broken pieces, and also assess for what additional works to do such as repaint, waterproof treatment, heat insulation and etc.

Upgrading to 3 phase need about 6k to 15k, subjected to your main switch box location, and if you need to install ev charger, the location of ev charger also affecting the cost.

I think most of the house will just get one EV, but if you plan to have 2 or 3 EV cars, then better to upgrade to 3 phase.

As i consult my electrician, he said if double storey landed, so more my air cond just one 2 hp, one 1.5hp and two 1hp, no need to upgrade to 3 phase, unless go for solar panel, the might need 3 phase if you want to generate more power.

Normal EV single phase charger can go up to either 4 or 7kw, most of the EV battery around 60 to 80 kw, and EV battery is commend not to charge over than 80% to have longer shelf life, so basically single phase EV charger is sufficient for one EV car only with overnight charging.

Single phase if your maximum usage is less than 10kw, then upgrade to 3 phase is optional.

2hp aircond comsuption is 1.6 kw
1.5hp aircond comsuption is 1.1kw
1hp aircond comsuption is 0.9kw
Dual zone induction cooker (max power) about 4.5kw
Instant water heater about 1.1kw

If you on all aircond, all shower and cook with maximum power together, then you need to upgrade to 3 phase, if including Ev charging at the same times, then go for 3 phase for sure.

Anyhow, it is subjected to your budget and your practice. All electric appliance comsuption is based on theory, in real run it will be smaller unless all the appliance running in maximum power.

You can ask electric come your current house to check, they will ask.you to on all appliances, and check the power consupmtion. Tnb advise is single phase 10kw (50a) but actually they can supply up to 12kw (60a), but play safe must keep it below 10kw.

From there, you can roughly know the power consumption of your house, and have idea to plan with your new house.

If Semi D or 3 storey landed , then better go for 3 phase, i assume the bigger house need more unit and powerful air cond . 2hp might too small for you already.

Was surveying some USJ houses as well especially USJ9 that side. But some of the houses looks outdated and owner asking for RM800k and above. All just because of location location location. Will take another RM200k to do up and repair. Imagine RM1million nowadays, just for a 20x70 house.

End of last year, usj 11 22x75 still has some selling below 850k. Needs more work for repair but price is cheap in reflect of the condition.

I will say look harder, probably not limiting your search to a particular Taman.

Budget 200k also maybe not enough. You haven’t factor in replacing the cabinets in kitchen or rooms. Any houses more than 20 years old have very outdated interior design.

You have to see it in a different perspective.

USJ might be slightly further to KL but it has a rather straightforward public transport system that can bring you there, should you not feel like driving.
Just take the LRT from the different stations around USJ and you'll reach KLCC in about an hour or even 45 minutes.

Secondly, it's pretty self sustaining with various colleges, restaurants and malls around. Even the neighboring places are also decent (Sunway, PJ, Shah Alam).

All in all, USJ may not be the perfect place but compared to Setia Alam. I would much rather stay in USJ as the neighborhood itself is matured, traffic is not as bad as Setia Alam and demographic of the people are decent.

I've stayed in Subang next to USJ for 30years now, personally I think a home not only depend on your immediate surrounding, but also depends on neighbouring town. For USJ you have Subang, Sunway, Puchong and just a little further you have PJ, Sri Petaling, OUG & many more.

When I'm bored with Subang(30years of cuz la), I have countless choices to go and therefore rotate my schedule before venturing back into Subang again.

Yes USJ is old, but the infrastructure is still not too bad compared to other old addresses, moreover the connectivity, maturity and the convenience compensates for it! Cheers

From day 1 i move to KV, i never concern the distance to KLCC or to any part in KL. If USJ location not good, the old double storey can never selling above 700k.

For family with kid, don't forget another factor, i.e quality of national school.

USJ SJKC and SMK might not top 1 in KV, but still a good school in KV. Some place you might have good SJKC, but without any good SMK/SMJK, i know quite many parents try to get their kid study in one famous SMJK in PJ, their kid need to travelling around 1 hr per way to school, just becuase their place do not have any good SMK. Some of my senior now worry their kid education in secondary school, because the besr school in his place still very bad , so some of them get their kid go to PJ famous school, when form 1 form 2 still easy to get private transporter, when getting elder, need more time involve in co curriculum and group study, and getting hard to go back home at the same time, then private transporter is meaningless and need family member to fetch they from school, of cause can take LRT, but the newer project got any LRT?

For sure, if you need a newer house with less renovation cost or brand new house from developer, you can go for setia alam , elmina, rimbayu, semenyih etc

For me, Puchong also not a good location, but still many ppl like this place and subsales in bandar puteri is reaching 1 mil range. Maybe you thinking some area is not a good location, but not for others.

For those without cash one, better go for developer unit or newer subsales which less than 8 year after hand over the key.

Another reason is, the USJ house owner buying the house will very low price, now they do not have pressure to sell low, and rental still not bad, so they do not have any pressure to sell low when they know 800k is still able to sell.

Iagree location is not really ideal for those working in city centre.

Subang is just an established township that one can survive without venturing out.

It's better than setia alam due to presence of LRT, KTM, BRT. That's all.

Ya, I do agree that it's not that ideal for people that are working in KL. Hence, why I would want to move to a new neighborhood in the near future.

If its okay, do you have any input for Taman Melawati or Bandar Sri Damansara?

I'm just looking at these two townships as even though Subang and USJ is a nice place to live but the time spent on travelling is just too much.

I work in the heart of KL.

I normally leave my house at 6:45am and reach around 7:30am, which is not bad but I have to leave before 7.

I get off work at 5pm and take Kesas back to USJ, this can vary between 45 mins (If I'm lucky) to 1 hour and 30mins.

And Kesas can be quite unpredictable, some days it will be clear and sometimes the jam starts after the Sri Petaling toll.

Edit: But thankfully there is the LRT, so I can choose to take it sometimes when I don't feel like driving but the LRT takes me around 45 mins to an hour.

Boss,
Sometimes we only appreciate things after we have lost it.

On a good day, it takes me 1 hours to drive to work
On a bad day it takes me 2 hours and 30 minutes
And I don't have LRT or MRT options

I'm staying in Subang, and find it to be a nice neighborhood. Cultural mix, no racial issue here. Yes distance to city centre is suboptimal, but I'm not working there so it doesn't affect me.

Semenyih/Broga is a nice place due to the surrounding hills and farms. Many eco resorts and retreats due to the fresh air. Only thing is no guarantee the hills will still be there in the future seing how the developments are encroaching into the hillsides. Will be ideal if you do not have to go to KL or PJ areas on a regular basis.

This location is great if you do not need to travel, my friend coming out from one of the Eco project but not sure which one, took 1h just to reach Jalan Cheras... not including the traffic to the city...

But it's a nice place for a slower pace of life no doubt!

Thanks for the feedback.

But I much prefer Seremban to Semenyih, something about Semenyih doesn't sit right with me lol

I'm eyeing more towards Melawati and Bandar Sri Damansara, as its still within Klang Valley and is somewhat closer to the city center

For the time being and the foreseeable future, I think my career prospects will revolve around KL; hard to find WFH prospects for my line of work

Overprice or not can be seen at subsequent sub-sale units.
A good example is Lot 15 which enjoy good market response initially was launch at around 9xxpsf. A check at Brickz now shows current price is also around 9xxpsf. Over price or not despite good market response?

This also means Aurora and Teja which was launch at 7xxpsf stand at an advantage position.
Moral of the story, don't follow herd mentality.

However, Hype which was launch at 7xxpsf to 8xxpsf may or may not be at an advantage due to higher density and different target segment.

On the other end, Damayan in Putra Heights launch at 7xxpsf i understand is doing poorly likely due to its location despite located less than 1km away from the LRT station. Maybe the recent introduction of DRT might change its fate but I won't hold my breath.

Putra Residence launch day had cars parking all over the roadside of the sales gallery at The Glades. Does today's sub-sale price reflect the same enthusiasm? Alcove was next to be launch and with only 72 units, it was suppose to be 😍 but look at it's sub-sale value today 🙈. Serenade also enjoyed pretty good response just like Alcove, will Serenade suffer a similar fate, we'll know soon enough.

So market response to new development is at best a guide. There is no replacement for own hard work on DD.

Take up rate and occupancy rate both high. Subang USJ has organic population with active student market.

I see it will continue to grow as a self sustaining peripheral city.

Capital appreciation might be low, but ROI will be healthy.

With students completing their studies, some will stay out and raise family here. Many subsale transaction is with young family.

It should be interesting if there is a study done on students staying back at those familiar areas post studies. As for me and a few that I know, most will relocate nearer to their work place (rent rooms) since they are more mobile at that age and may not have the capacity to buy a house yet.

Boss,
Just want to clarify....ya

"Capital appreciation might be low, but ROI will be healthy."
How can ROI be healthy when capital appreciation is low?
Rental rates can barely cover instalment let alone make any returns.

Sub-sale transactions supported by young families but won't that mean lower purchasing power and lesser price movement upwards?
And how are these buyers going to exit in the future if prices don't move upwards for them to benefit?

Rental market I mean. I don't invest in this area but the rental market has surprised me. Problem about capital appreciation is developer is selling future price. Just my take on this area.

Young families doesn't mean low spending power. It can be you g professional.

We got to agree owning a landed terrace house itself is a luxury nowadays.

USJ 1 Traffic Dispersal Plan - Cancelled

Previously in Hype thread already said can't build there.
Did MBSJ listened?
Did they care about our feedback?

Now MBSJ, please build back the pedestrian bridge and replant back the trees you chopped down. Since you are so good at chopping down trees, please chop off some heads at MBSJ for approving the initial plan...ya

The only negotiation chip is depend on the seller's holding power, most of them buying at low price, they do not have pressure to let go urgently.

Cemetery impact also reflect to current market price.
Gas pipeline , if you really concern about it, 100k discount also would not make you ignore this concern. The seller know, the agent know, this chip is not working, seller wouldnt give you a big discount on it.

Just negotiate with the seller the price you want, you have no card, unless a big economic crash like COVID time, then you have a card to bargain the price.

I just know from one of my friend client, she holding a 10million ringgit bungalow for more than 10 years and still unable to sell, but she have very strong holding power, so whatever chip also useless to her, you want to buy, need to offer a good price. She is cash rich

The cash owner can whatever they like, they want to give cash or house to their kids is up to them.

My experience is new condos are not necessarily good workmanships. Many lemons in terms of quality and good neighbours. It is better to buy something which you know what you are getting.
Living nearby yr parents got lots of advantages, free meals, free baby sitting, etc. It is like so near yet so far away to have your own home.

LOl, I wanted to say the same thing! even my area and many Subang and USJ, the similar trend, where parents of the children gets the house within the vicinity.

I guess its because good neighborhood, easy access, truly self sufficient taman in most aspect, wider roads and nearby business centers and shopping, etc.

And as a family its easier to send and fetch kids, where parents do look after them, during work or vacation, and sending to schools while parents are on vacations, etc.

USJ 11 one of the best precinct in USJ. Got very nice field where ppl do taichi, dancing, jogging, etc. Lagi got football and rugby also. Then you have Taipan shops with probably 10 banks there opposite side and USJ9 shops. Just across road is MPSJ office.
Surrounding USJ 11, are schools in USJ 6, USJ 13 and USJ 12.

When was tat reno work done? A few yrs back? Changed piping and wiring alone easily 40k nowadays. Tiling also depend on the size and material, and the killer is labour charge if you get the skilled chinese sifu to do.

Why not. Roof tile change is around 10-15k depending on area.

It's always give and take. You can't be asking for whole house carpentry work plus wiring, piping and expect it to be under 150k.

Want more extensive wiring, piping, cur down on carpentry. Vice versa.

Reno based on budget, not on feeling. No point arguing here.

I'm doing my Reno, and I'm very level headed, budget tight, then do those that can't be done as ad hoc. E.g,: structural, concealed wire and pipe. Cut down on carpentry, sofa, dining table, electrical goods etc.

Sensible choice with tight budget, get those fixture done up first, move in then slowly add those furniture or electrical stuff over time.

USJ 12 is memang cheaper than others

If you want 600+k, you can also check out USJ 3 and USJ 6

USJ 11 and USJ 5 are generally more expensive

USJ12 is located on a turn along Persiaran Tujuan on its left side.
The gas pipeline is on its right side and runs along the development.
I think there is also a STP opposite the USJ12 school.

If the unit is further away from the gas pipeline, then it'll be close to the persiaran tujuan which will have noise and dust from the traffic.
If away from the road, then it will be close to the pipeline.

It's not whether the pipeline has any impact or not, it's the perception / views of your buyer when it comes to dispose the unit in 10 years later.
And this indirectly affects the capital appreciation.

Property prices don't appreciate or depreciate without reasons.

The price has always being like that because of demand issues.

This inner roads are busy esp during peak hours due to its alternative route to the school and USJ 3 areas. When Persiaran Tujuan is jammed, more drivers tend to use the inner roads to beat the jam even though with the many speed barriers.

Another reason could be the layout factors. There are the 1.5 and 2 sty designs

And many msians don't like the idea of living near religious places, if there are choices.

With the recent ph gas fire, it added to the lists of cautious buyers.

If a buyer can live with those stated above, I would say is always landed over highrise for the price.

I would say I use the road daily, peak and off peak.

To add another pointer ...

If 1.5 sty, then one would 'feel' more spacious away from neighbours. The downside is only one bedroom on first floor. Parking space for two cars.

If 2 sty, then one would feel 'cramped' because neighbours are close. Master room is smaller comparing to 1.5 sty.

So buying 1.5 or 2 is not an easy decision.

Generally USJ12 been on lower end of pricing, just due to its sizing (20X60) and in general USJ house pricing not taken a huge steep just bcoz its aging housing.

Please don't expose usj house pricing. I find it to be undervalued compare to the likes of Puchong, TPG etc. freehold, matured, well maintained road and bustling commercial activity. However the landed house remains cheap in comparison.

Recent condo launches ain't cheap though.

If you appreciate land price, then you'll find it's undervalued. If you focus on aging house design, then too bad. Buy 1 if you have the cash in hand, and likes subang vibe.

I am of the view that the price factored in the costs needed to refurbish n renovate the house so, if sum up it is not considered cheap. But agree with you, landed property at good location is scarce n there is just no more new developments.

Buy a 2nd hand at a resonable price is quite good. better than those 2mil/3mil... want sell also hard...

My friend house is in Bukit Jalil at a prime road someore. His Semi-D area a bit atas & private, nice community and low Dense. However his jalan alone got 6unit Semi-D for sale and according to him all asking above 2.2m, the newest one is 6month and the oldest one 2year already still no people buy...
Potential buyer most likely 30's or 40's... but to get a place at his area one need at least RM750k cash for buy and touchup... How many ppl got so much cash sitting around...

There is a market price but seldom a reasonable price.

Market price is backed by past transacted data and valuation report, while reasonable price is about 'feeling, and backed by own budget.

Rm 600k for FH landed in a matured area? Really no much area.

But old house have a big issue on renovation cost.

USJ generally is still undervalue, but recently can see the owner asking price start increase.

No much new landed option nowaday.

Setia Alam and TPG price is no longer affordable, and TPG traffic is very bad now.

Elmina? Price also not cheap, and lack of amenities

Comparing to Bandar Puteri Puchong, the house condition also need major renovation, but the price for double storey in Bandar Puteri can easily over million.

Somemore the puchong traffic is worsed year by year due to more new condo hand over the key, and also few more incoming project in Bandar Puteri by IOI, all is high rise and office project. Can not image how bad the traffic condition in next 5 years

22 x 75 is basically without extension and kitchen, bad car porch condition and 2nd floor is wood parquet, then selling at 800 to 850k.

You need to prepare at least 150k for wet work renovation, not including kitchen extension

Iron pipe rusting inside make water pressure very low. Once moved in, very difficult to replace. More so pipe from meter come into the house under floors or below beams. My old USJ11 house has this problem.

New houses use those black pipes is good but tend to leak at joints. They do not use threaded pipes but fiction locking mechanisms. There's tendency those elbows crack after some time. My present house kena 2 times from slipped joints at water tank area and my downstairs toilet suffer internal leak behind tiles. Pening.

many people left USJ to kota kemuning because high crime, too many entry and exit with shops, schools and worship places next to homes, therefore cannot fence up.

most notorious was USJ 1,2,6 with many migrants and rental crowd.  even usj  3,12,13 14 and usj 9 are vulnerable and many foreign tenants, and cannot be fenced effectively.
last time while visiting house at usj 13, the tenant actually revealed that her next door was recently burglared.

some locations are improving with  partial guards/fencing like ,4,11,5 ,16,17,18,21,  better balance of convenience and security.

i think usj 24,25,26, PUtra heights sek 1,2,3  are much better for security and greenery and bigger plots, but opposite of ldp,

USJ 3,4 & 5 are quite ok as long as no outsiders loiter around with back lanes fenced up. The only lingering problem is not 100% residents want to pay. Many are already retired and every sen counts. I think the only properly gated place in USJ Subang Jaya is USJ Heights.

USJ13 is also ok. I drove in there few times.
But do not assume the place is properly secured and let your guard down. Most of these gng areas just use 4 ft high wired fence around the perimeter and employ few guards to man the entrance. Anyone can still climb over the fence and run wild.

USJ 3,4 & 5 are quite ok as long as no outsiders loiter around with back lanes fenced up. The only lingering problem is not 100% residents want to pay. Many are already retired and every sen counts. I think the only properly gated place in USJ Subang Jaya is USJ Heights.

The irony was the number of break ins and security breaches at usj heights.

Unless one is law enforcement officer, talking about security issues and NOT staying in the area is about blowing water ... I heard lar, my friend stayed there lar, etc. One or two cases becomes many cases 🤭

No security is theft proof. It's just a deterrent and hope thieves will go for low hanging fruit instead of difficult ones. A good GnG housing area will work.

Wonder how a buyer can choose neighbours 🫣

Security, provided is strata. Then every month headache with maintenance fee similar to women having period.

Environment, unless live in very remote places where no new development happening.

Agreed, only can choose house .. single, double, semi-d or detached or highrise. 😅

Stayed in condos, landed(individual), and also FnG landed.

I can say I'm qualified to give my opinion on this matter.

Condo security differ from one to another, and if you experience breakins, can't blame security company and ask for compensation from them. So much for strata and their 300-500 monthly maintenance. Yes there are many tier of security card scanner for access. But have you though of, what if your card has been hacked or their system hacked? It's like free access. And some of my condo security is basically hi-bye type. No card? Just say you are drop off, then security just open the gate without registration. There's one that stands out, body cam, call individual unit to verify visitor etc. you get what you pay for. The good ones cost me RM0.5 PSF.

Landed without security, now that's hihlgh risk. Had experience with break-ins. Things got resolved by those back alley gate, CCTV ,and a guard dog. My theory of low hanging fruits stands.

Then comes landed with FnG, with less than 1k per annum, very responsible company that'll register all visitor without slack, and will double check if visitor did visit the said unit, every street has CCTV installed as well. Own security measures still needed, but owner will have another later if defence. Some mentioned freeloaders, yes they exist. Enjoy the security but not willing to pay.

So there you go, each has it's pros and cons. So far I see the landed FnG is the best in terms of price to value ratio.

Some use Graab App to preregister visitors, on top of that, guard house call resident via registered mobile phone numbers to double check before letting them in. Grab food or shopee deliveries are no exceptions. In the past, intercoms are used but it proved to be too troublesome as contacting by mobile phones is easier.

It is worth it if you can find a unit below market price.
Do note there is an ongoing protest for a proposed flyover from Sunway Jalan Lagoon Selatan to Ss14

Happy hunting Boss.
Your unit in Lot 15 all good?

Comparing to Bandar Puteri Puchong, the house condition also need major renovation, but the price for double storey in Bandar Puteri can easily over million.

Somemore the puchong traffic is worsed year by year due to more new condo hand over the key, and also few more incoming project in Bandar Puteri by IOI, all is high rise and office project. Can not image how bad the traffic condition in next 5 years

Out of control condo development will cause worst traffic congestion in next five years.
