hi everyone. i'm looking and planning to get a house in pj/kl, within like 2 - 3 years from now so i would like to get some suggestions from you all on which area is good, where is being developed now and will be finished by 3 years.

i'm looking for a landed property, a decent double storey terrace house with free hold (i know not many these days) near to rm300k.
prefer a good developer (not much knowledge at this), good surroundings or have potential to grow.
btw, a house of around 300k, typically how much do i need to pay a month, for lets say 30 years?

this is pretty much for me to stay in future, but may consider for investment too.

appreciate if can get some opinions and insights from u all on your suggested areas as well. best if got some links to the developers' websites to view the design etc.

thank you...

Landed double storey house for RM300k freehold located in PJ/KL... that's a tall order to meet.

Most new housing developments in PJ/KL already exceed that price. Coupled with inflation hitting house prices you might not get such a house in PJ/KL for RM300k.

Example properties further from KL/PJ - Puchong houses double storey decent built-up 2000sqf on 22'x75' plot of land already cost more than RM350k.

Calculating your loan repayment use this...

You're roughly expected to pay about RM1700 give or take... depends on your % interest and down payment.

Damn.. I just found out the new launch @ Putra Heights (22 x 70) is RM480k! A friend purchased his @ RM377k! This is daylight robbery!!!!!

thanks for the info and the calculator link.
yea, i guess it's tough having that requirement. but i'm still ok with 300k+ house. anything beyond 400k is out of reach for me.
i know the inflation is hitting the house, which is y i want to start looking now. so if really can find the right 1, then maybe book first or pay downpayment first while it is being built.

i thought i will need at least 2.5k or something a month. 1700 +- is lower than i thought it wil be. but again, as u said, it depends on % interest and downpayment.

puchong, i thought they're mostly sold out. my colleague just told me about Bukit Hitam development somewhere in puchong. I checked their website, and the price starts at rm335k. is this developer good?

is putra height acessible thru elite highway? is there any exit direct from the highway?

You may try IRIS or LAVENDAR.. in Pinggiran USJ.. less than 300k.. Good Luck!

@budak_bagus,
Am not sure if Putra Heights is accessible through ELITE but it is sort off accessible through the NKVE - take the uhm... exit where the Go-Kart Track is [on the way to the airport]. When U get out there, keep left and follow the Putra Heights sign

@dARKaNGEl,
If and when recession hits, U might want to look out for subsales

thanks for the heads up
i'm checking the link that was given above:
http://www.iproperty.com.my

seems like putra heights has various options for a house around 350k~+ and it's built by sime darby. ought to be worth checking out right?

i also heard before that the old subang terminal airport area (deeper) there are new residential areas. is the houses there ok and is that area really accessible? coz i been to eat seafood there not too long ago, and it seems like a small road with many cars in and out...

maybe u can try to consider KU's Indah Residence (22X70) 4+1 rooms, freehold... LINK
I booked it and loan under process to be ready to sign the S&P now... quite a good deal 2100square feet with RM308k with community society and guarded at the ONLY gate entrance for each gardens... as what i asked from sales exec the maintenance fees for the guard service will be RM30 for 5 years contract... so is freaking cheap that if compare with apartment's maintenance may shoot up RM100+ without contract and pay for nothing... some more just right beside kesas highway and easy to access, due to right beside the kesas the sound pollution may need to consider into... in future MBSA going to have a project now that Kote Kemuning junction will be connected a new road straight to federal highway too... MAP Also there have rumor that the KU land may not that good as the land height almost near to sea level, but so far i stay tmn sri muda for 20year (beside KU with 5minit road trip from my current house), only happened major flood around 1998 year and i'm the one of the victims saw my house suddenly flood with water on the next morning, the water height can reach standard table's height... after the major flood MBSA start implement project to upgrade the Klang River by extend it wider and dig deeper... so far no flood happened within 10years, i think should be fine for that land if the Klang River wont overflow the water to land...

Overall for new landed property, and easy to access without toll around Klang Valley and dont mind the sound pollution... KU project should be the choice... I heard my colleague who staying at Kota Kemuning that some of the residents started selling their KK house and getting KU houses, maybe bcos the facilities and easy access...

also, just for ur references... another on going projects nearby (new landed property) that i found was IOI group's Bandar Puteri Klang and Berjaya Properties's Berjaya Park... both should be around RM270k but slightly further in and may require to pass toll daily... but if u working around Klang Valley, rather u use the money pay for toll and petrol and invest into house loan...

FYI, all of RM308k sold out, i think i'm the one sapu-ed the last RM308k property bcos suddenly got ppl release it at last minit... now left RM315k-318k intermediate with bigger land and some corner houses... if really interested better get it asap since the house price may major increase on the next new phase because of the raw material cost...

@gkl83,
KU (Kemuning Utama) isn't exactly KL/PJ!

yup... i know... just for suggestion to TS if thinking for new landed property...
bcos around KL/PJ dont have new landed property around RM300k-RM400k anymore...
even damansara condo (amaya saujana) selling RM600k (if no mistaken), can u imagine that...

PJ area.. i don't think so got one with ur requirement..

Putra Height or the latest launch Putra Avenue also good.. 24 x 80.. price around 370k up

for 300K..

all i can see is around shah alam or Subang 2 area.. but all lease hold..
average 20x70 is around 260-300k

lavender/ iris.. it 20x 60 isn't? ut free hold..

@gkl83,
I suppose it is a tough call to find landed property @ KL/PJ for less than 400k esp new developments.

Like I said, it's perhaps best if TS waited for subsale units.

The interchange to Elite is currently under construction.

Currently, access thru USJ/Hicom interchange.

@scorgio,
Even with the high way, I think RM480k for a 22x70 terrace @ Putra Heights is way too steep!

Less than RM400k, landed, freehold.

Well, property with "KL" address don't fit that description.

PJ address, old double storey at SS2, can still be found starting RM320k, as of now.

@scorgio,
Perhaps it's available at Puchong?! *grins* Or Bukit Jalil even? *shrugs*

Bkt Jalil, freehold woh? Leasehold maybe.

Puchong, poskod for the WHOLE area is 47100, and it's under MPSJ jurisdiction. NOT "KL".

BUT, you reminded me. Kepong , Cheras (including surrounding BTS, BTR, BTHO) is under DBKL.

hi all , sorry to intrude ... u can try looking at ss1 there ... the houses there are old but the place is really ok ... js need some renovation back ... coz pj is really infested wif rats! haha... planning to buy a double storey in pj too

thanks for the link. from the look of the location in the map, it does look quite accessible. price looks ok too. i think i know roughly where it is. maybe i will drive there and have a look.

u also mentioned about Bandar Puteri Klang and Berjaya Park. Quite interested in Berjaya's development. roughly where is this new project?

http://www.berjayaproperties.com/hazel.htm
http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=2.9840238&lo...=16&l=0&m=a&v=2
Berjaya Park around 10 minit road trip or 7km+ from KU...

Berjaya Park project u can avoid the toll easily and having short cut going into middle scretch of kampung jawa road if u dont mind... also kampung jawa road also can linked to KU house too... FYI, if the new KU area 100% developed, the main road of KU will connect to the shortcut of this bridge MAP
as what i estimate the main road of KU may high traffic once connected to the scretch bcos current kampung jawa road always congested traffic when working hours...

any links for me to check out? thanks

ya... too high price. i rather buy my next door house. my mum actually suggested buy my next door house coz our area is really good.
although old, but the built quality really good and the landlord already fixed the wiring and stuffs before he rented out. but i think our houses here will cost at least 450k - 500k
my bro bought a house in Setia Alam. it's quite far for me, but who knows, maybe after 10 years, it's as good as puchong or damansara area...
yea, want to avoid tolls if possible. even though now i can claim back all the toll fees from my company, but there's no guarantee that i will be working for same company in many years to come haha

is SS1 the State area? actually where is SS1 ar? can give landmark?
i only know SS2

Added on June 24, 2008, 9:29 amoh.. only 87 units. looks ok but need to see actual showroom
btw, for a house, usually how many percent we need to pay for downpayment? is it always minimum 10% or can be lower?

@dARKaNGEl,
Where do U currently live? It's not too bad an idea purchasing the house next door; but some people just don't like being too near the folks *grins* - I on the other hand told mom if its possible I'll like for the husband to shift in when i get married *grins* hAHahAHahAHhaH...

SS1 is between Kampung Tunku & SS2. Landmark ah?! Er.... behind Paramount? *grins*

Am quite sure Setia Alam will boom in the next 2 decades. Still.. it's too far from where my base is hence I've not considered investments in that area.

Downpayment is usually 10% but some developers are able to make arrangements with end financiers to offer up to 100% loan [I never could understand the theory but ah well... it's happened]

iris and levender..

all sold out.. waiting for subsale.. the price i heard is around 230- 250k for intermediate.

google sime property.. look under taman pinggiran usj

10% for new house, 20% for old house...
10%-20% is for sure, but u can get discount from developer to reduce ur downpayment...


that was launching price lo last 1-2 years... now highly believe at least RM270k-280k...

hehe...ss1 is near tmn bahagia lrt station .... the taman at the back...actually ss1 covers not only that place... like tinkerbel said its between kampung tunku and ss2 ... paramount there oso ss1 rite?

@dwtk,
I don't think Paramount is part of SS1.

haha oo ok...

bro... FYI, if interested on KU house better check out the house faster...
just now went to Paramount to take draft documentation and look on the house again, OMG selling fast...
even the house (at main road) that my gf and my parents no planned to get it last 2 week also sold...
left the houses at the main road and near to highway... i think left 10-15units included corner house...
