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.

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

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.

My exp, for the extended unit, change whole house tite, piping, wiring, air cond, simple cabinet, RM 150k ngam ngam cukup

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.

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.
