@areankim,
If ur based this side of town, U probably can look at Kepong/Sg Buloh/Sri Damansara areas instead of Bukit Rimau. It looks like u've changed ur options and is now looking at landed properties; does it also mean area is no longer a priority?

@myusername,
Bukit Rimau isn't all that far - depends where ur travelling from, but not so 'kua cheong' as in like travelling outstation. My best friend's @ Bukit Rimau!

@myusername,
I was just teasing tongue.gif

@areankim,
Yes, Bandar Sri Damansara is right after the LDP toll. If ur looking at toll-less roads, u shouldn't consider Bukit Rimau/Kota Kemuning either. USJ houses should be fine but u need to check what's the market value. I personally don't like the idea of buying a house which is too old; too much retification works might be needed but if all is in good order, perhaps it's worth a try. Also, 20 x 60 seems a lil small, no?

I also don't like USJ because of the heavy traffic. Perhaps u could look at Kota Damansara?

@areankim,
Just keep a look out for properties; and look at the developing areas not the developed areas. Sungai Buloh's a place to look at but that's probably a little too far off for u plus I don't see many developers advertising in those areas as yet *shrugs*

Perhaps u can look further inside Kota Damansara - am sure u'll find something in the region of RM300k or something - perhaps u can wait it out a bit or find ways to increase ur budget smile.gif

@forrest,
Ah well, what'd u expect of a developing area? And Kampung's are generally cheaper; hence my relocation to Sg Buloh tongue.gif

@areankim,
It's difficult for us to tell u if USJ3 is far. Also, such purchases are very personal; one may like it while another might not. If u aren't too familiar with the USJ3 area, start finding out from friends who lives there; and perhaps u might want to do a trial run - drive to USJ3 every night after work and see if u like the traffic, etc.

Importantly, do u like the house? Chances of you shifting house is lower than shifting offices !

You should consider if u can get the loan before u even pay the booking fees cause if u can't get the loan then ur deposit how?

@myusername,
It's NOT surrounded, it's just next to and probably overlooks the squatters. Opposite the apartment's a school if i'm not mistaken tongue.gif
