Properties on my radar

Haven't been blogging - rather busy nowadays and so on. It's appraisal, bonus and increment season now, so have been preoccupied with that, along with goal setting and what not.

Anyway, I have been shopping around casually for properties but haven't found anything that I like enough to buy.

Thinking of getting a cheap property at below 200k for rental - maybe a commercial one that can rent out easily.

Areas that have reasonably priced units - to my mind - are Kepong and Cheras Business Centre which are busy enough but not overly expensive. I supposed Kuchai Business Park is also one but haven't looked deeply into that.

Let's see how things go...

What does your neighbourhood say about you: Kuala Lumpur

Just a bit of fun.. :) If you live in ___ then you are ____ : Bukit Tunku (Kenny Hills) and Bukit Persekutuan (Federal Hill) = Seriously wealthy, old money, royalty, very low key. Bukit Damansara (Damansara Heights) = just one step below the above, either first generation civil servant families from pre- and post-Independance, politicians and ahem, business cronies. Also, business families who made it big from the 60's and 70's. Wealthy but a wee bit flashier than the Kenny Hills crowd. Still classier than .... Bangsar = Newer money, families of corporate figures and professionals who did well from the 80's onwards. An aspirational neighbourhood, it also attracts ambitious non-KL-born folks here to make it big. The party neighbourhood of the 90's, still remembered fondly for its bars, restaurants and late-night stalls after clubbing. A younger but more low-key  affluent clone of Bangsar is TTDI (Taman Tun Dr Ismail) ; TTDI folks are rather nicer and more easy-...

Viewing properties: 3 Residen, Melawati

In my seemingly never ending quest to purchase another property, I thought I might as well document my thoughts here on what I've seen so far.. sort of like a reminder / diary for myself. Age IS catching up after all! OK, so went to have a look at the Type A unit in 3 Residen which is 1,389 sq ft with an asking price of RM700,000. I've been to the launch of this development a number of years back and have seen the show unit. Now, finally having a look at the completed one. The positive: The location in Melawati is not bad, in that it is next to the hills so there is some greenery that is unlikely to be torn down The large foyer is a unique feature and does set the unit back away from the common area, so there is some sense of additional private space before you enter the unit proper - although one could also say that it is a waste of space. Depends. The movable panels for your office / private entertainment area that can be closed off is a clever touch The triangula...

Serini Melawati - new launch

Image
A new condo launch in Melawati by Sime Darby, I didn't know about it but just so happened to drive by the showroom as it was being constructed; then my mum told me that the launch event was on Saturday the 24th. Didn't have time to go on the 1st day but managed to make it today, the 26th. First impression is that the development seems pretty decent.  An overview from the brochure: Here is the location within Melawati: hehe my scanner truncated it somewhat, the dark green area next to the planned 30 storey apartment is going to be the new Melawati Ma ll (a Capital Mall project). And here are the build-up specifications: Other main information points not in the images above are: Freehold Price per square foot from RM600 to about RM750 for the larger units Maintenance cost is 30 sen per square foot Looks like about 70%-80% booked up by the time I got there around midday today - after just 1 full day + 1 morning of sales. Construction ...
