My story : I bought from Talam (yes!! ), got a house no 4, jalan no 4, at a sunken part of road, facing a junction, and on the landslide land at Ampang.

How did I do? I made 30% profit! How did I do it. Who knows? Lessons learned? ....nothing actually. but it's true story!! don't get too hung up la on number. For Malay, EMPAT means DAPAT

EMPAT means 4 wives I think ....

If U like the unit and the price is right and U aren't the superstitious type, by all means go ahead and get it.

Ok...thanks a lot.... hopefully I dun make my second property mistake

@gogo2,
Er.. 2nd property mistake?! Er.. the first one was a mistake?! Anyhow, Y don't U check with your folks / gf / wife?!

Perhaps even get a bigger discount from the seller because of the 'not-so-auspicious' number?

First one is quite a mistake because:

a) high density - 700sqft
b) parking problem
c) < 1000sqft

All this point to unable to increase price. I sold it at RM8k profit only (purchase of house is 140k).

I check with mum -> she dun like. But I love the location and view. (sorry to muslim friend. There's a
mosque opposite the road.)

Can't get discount because someone else wanna buy.

Am I heading to 2nd property mistake?

Its not what others think, its how YOU think.... some like it, some don't.... in the end its YOU.... for me, i rather choose other unit... i'm sure this unit is not the only one available.

Unfortunately, I think its quite hard to find. There's only 4 unit per floor. There's only 12 floor. 13th floor is Penthouse.
Lower than 10 is not really good I think. So left 3 floor. Not really like the view facing USM/mosque (unit number 1 and 2).
And then unit number 3, all room face west. So left number 4 only. Only got 2 block. 1 block is too near to low cost and
road (noisy). Left 1 block. That means, only 3 unit number 4 from 10th floor to 12 floor. Do you think its easy to get people
sell their house? Not sure lor.

With so limited choice, y not compromise a bit.... how bout 8th and 9th floor....? not much difference view from your 10th floor.
If u really like the current 10th floor, then its your choice.... hope u'll think how "difficult" it will be when u want to sell it in the future.

I'm wondering y u manage to get this unit in the first place..... is it no one else want it?

i will not even consider
number 7, 4 car or house hahahha

I also dunno why I manage to get. Got some people also thinking wanna buy.

wah, u so superstitious.... how old are you?

my house no is 44...

at least 2 years....

it all depends on individual preferences. sometimes, good numbers tend to sell for higher prices. if u are more to the superstitious type and are particular abt numbers, my advice is dun take it coz dun make a decision u might feel uncomfy with. if numbers dun really mean much to u, its definitely ok. after all, according to what u said, the best view units of this apartment would be unit 4 anyway! eg, unit 4 level 12 would be 10-12-4 which sounds equally as bad if translated to cantonese!

if u're worried that the number might affect its subsale value later, i reckon its an unsubstantiated thought...coz the fact that u n another buyer are mulling on the decision to purchase this unit proves otherwise!

Hi Go Go,

My opinion is Up to u , Ask Urself ... If u can Take it , Go ahead... Provided all the Pro & cons of the Unit , as in Location ka , Pasar Malam Ka... Unless u really Love the Unit so much... i think if u love the unit so much u wouldn't mind the No...... If Not , Just Let it Go.... if u dont like it dont go for it ... I bet there's still a lot of other unit or Other place...

For me i wont go for it unless u got NO choice.....I almost buy a 2nd hand Vehicle ... its Cheap but i dont like the No.. 9413 .....

Just my small 2 cents opinion.....

lol, that's what I tot too

Hopefully and cross my finger. I already paid RM2500 for booking. No turning back unless something big going on.

@gogo2,
hMm.. looks like U've decided - what's the point of asking us for our opinion?!

My wan is Jalan 5, nombor 108.

5108 = mm yat ding fatt

I'm actually trying to see if anyone give me concrete reason to lose my 2500 instead of 250000.
