PROPCAFE™ Diary: Progress of M101 Bukit Bintang @ Kuala Lumpur City Centre. Monopoly Hotel?

Unlike PROPCAFE Review, PROPCAFE Diary is the new series from PROPCAFE to have a quick sharing that comes with a short write-up to update our followers on the latest property info in town!

After the disappointment of not managed to get the best roast pork at Wong Mee Kee (it was closed!), we stumbled with this development in Pudu called M101 Bukit Bintang. This property launched in 2015 as SOFO units but now the usage has changed and rebranded as the first Monopoly Hotel in the world with 225 rooms available.

M101 Bukit Bintang Facade – Monopoly Hotel. Sleek but Flimsy?

Developer’s Artist Illustration

M101 Bukit Bintang Facade

The location of Jalan Baba is very near to city centre with Berjaya Time Square at the back and Furama Hotel and future BBCC at the side. There is no question on accessibility as there are plenty of infrastructure upgrade in this area due to TRX and Imbi/Bukit Bintang redevelopment.

Location and Surrounding of M101 Bukit Bintang

Berjaya Time Square – Within Walking Distance?

The good point is that this location has Monorail, LRT and MRT station all within 1km. Quick check, it is more than 500m, so choice is yours! 😄

However, the negative part is the building is surrounded by all the old and rundown shoplots. It seems near to the Berjaya Time Square and future BBCC, not sure many will really walk there. To be honest, not many people will appreciate the location (even though near to everything), it may not feel safe at night and  the environment definitely not for Gen Y or X’s taste.   The developer eventually strikes it right to make  it as hotel rather than for SOFO/Residential use.

Surrounding of M101 Bukit Bintang

For foodie, one will for sure love it. Lol. The best roast pork (Wong Mei Kee) is just 20m away!

Best Roast Pork in Kuala Lumpur. Opps should be the best in Malaysia!

The building looks flimsy. However, the workmanship is hard to comment now. If solely based on the existing facade and exterior, it is a bit emm….

M101 Bukit Bintang – Monopoly Hotel

Since this small plot of land now turns to be hotel, the pricing is hard to measure. Having said that, not sure the buyers’ exit plan as investment in hotel usage will probably take sometimes to harvest!

M101 so far has developed the M101 Dang Wangi (See Below) and its SkyWheel near Kampung Baru is still on-going.  That’s all for now, happy hunting! Ciao….

M101 – Dang Wangi

PROPCAFE Diary: Setiawangsa Pantai Expressway aka DUKE 3. Which properties in Greater Kuala Lumpur might suffer or benefit from this 29.8km highway?

DUKE 1 – DUKE 2 – DUKE 3!

If you are living in Kuala Lumpur, you can hardly escape the construction scene of SPE highway. It is not just a massive project but it will become the most important highway in Kuala Lumpur as it basically cut through almost every key location of Greater Kuala Lumpur and will connect many other existing highways as well.

With the connection with highways especially Duke 1 and Duke 2, this SPE will be the most used highway in KL for those who want to avoid traffic congestion. Absolutely brilliant planning! But while it gives all the conveniences and accessibility to road users and the communities nearby. It has the downside of noise pollution to many properties that are right besides this highway. PROPCAFE founders disposed 3 units of G Residences at Desa Pandan two years back with the sudden news of SPE which will be right in front of the property. It did not sit well in our mind, not to say the facility floor is facing the SPE with similar height. Of course, some would have less impact if the units are not directly facing it, however, the overall pricing will definitely be affected.

This post, we will share with you some of the properties that may benefit the additional accessibility and (or) suffer the view/noise pollution, “thanks” to this 29.8km highway.

Properties that Benefit Additional Accessibility :-

The Veo, The Ridge, Platinum Victory, Taman Melwati, Taman Malinja, Taman Melati, Taman Sri Rampai, Irama Wangsa Maju, Sentrio Desa Pandan, Taman Maluri, Continew, Salak South, Taman Desa, Taman Bukit Desa, and Bangsar South.

Properties that Suffer View/Noise Pollution (though with additional accessibility) due to Its Proximity to SPE :-

Sunway Montana, Resident 3, Casa Rimba Desa Melawati, Saville Desa Melawati, Desa Setapak, Wangsa Metroview, Infinity Residence, Bukit Wangsamas, Bukit Wangsamas, Bukit Setiawangsa, Sri Lojing Wangsa Maju, Riana Green Wangsa Maju, Desa Tun Hussein Onn Setiawangsa, Seri Maya, Keramat AU1, Datum Jelatek, One Jelatek, Dato Keramat, Suria Jelatek, Desa Pandan Apartment, G Residence, U-Thant, One Cochrane, Desa Green, Desa Eight, Mutiara Seputeh, Tiara Faber, Bukit Desa, Desa Villa, SouthPoint, Novum, and Komune Co-Living.

Well, it is important to note that there are many properties above already facing the busy main roads like federal highway etc, therefore, some of it may have minimal impact from the new constructed highway. Also, it depends on the distance from the property to the interchange / entrance of the highway, the benefits could vary. Visit the site and do the field study will definitely help!

You may refer together with the aerial view video created by SZ Eagle Eye Studiors below. Great efforts!

Below is the content of our PROPCAFE Facebook posted in 2018

There are few highways are currently underconstruction around Klang Valley and if you are regular users along Jalan Ampang/Jelatek/Setiawangsa and Federal Highway, you will noticed that Setiawangsa Pantai Expressway (or formerly known as Duke3) are in full swing construction. SPE is initial targeted to be completed by first quarter 2020 (but too bad it is still on-going as at today in July 2021  🙄  )

The 29.8km SPE starts from MRR2 (where interchange with Jalan Genting Klang/Jalan Kolam Air) and transverse across UTAR, Wangsa Maju, Setiawangsa, Ampang, TRX, Bandar Malaysia, Kerinchi and connected to SPRINT Highway.

In the latest Ekovest Newsletter, the interchanges are revealed (7 of them) – Taman Melati, Genting Klang, Setiawangsa, Ampang, Pandan, Salak and Kerinchi.Interesting, these interchanges will be serving number of existing and upcoming hotspots. The interchange no. 4 (Ampang) which linked to AKLEH will bring motorists directly to KLCC carpark The interchange no. 5 (Pandan) will be linked to Bulatan Kampung Pandan/ Jalan Tun Razak where you travel directly to TRX. And as PROPCAFE reported before, the SPE at interchange no. 6 (Salak) will bring you to the HSR terminus as well as Bandar Malaysia before joining SPRINT highway.

Interesting, it is specially mentioned that #BangsarSouth will have an access to SPE which only benefit communities in Pantai/Kerinchi/Bangsar South to ease the famous traffic congestion in Jalan Kerinchi.

With the completion of SPE, the motorists will have alternate route (tolled of course) for a faster and smooth travel, bypass the heavy route along Federal highway, Jalan Sungai Besi, Jalan Tun Razak, Jalan Jelatek/Ampang/Setiawangsa etc. It is also serve as missing link between North and South Klang Valley.

From property investment perspective, which property/area you think will benefit from the SPE? One example, PROPCAFE think Savile Melawati at interchange no. 1 will benefit tremendously but may need to suffer the view and noise pollution. The residents can simply skip the horrendous MRR2 traffic and by using SPE, they definitely can reach KLCC, Bukit Bintang or even MidValley/ Bangsar at much shorter time.

Also another area which will benefit tremendously from SPE will be Pantai and Bangsar South area. Famous with the choked traffic, SPE not only serving alternate dispersion for residents but via SPE it is essentially just few minutes away from Bandar Malaysia and TRX.

PropCafe Editors’ Choice on Best Property of Year 2014

PropCafe editors decided to resume the fight among themselves to pick the best landed and highrise residential property of Year 2014. It was a tough battle. Similar to Year 2012, editors considered both ownstay, investment perspective and focus on (1) Location; (2) Pricing; (3) Development Concept; (4) Developer Reputation; (5) Accessibility; (6) Architectural Design; (7) Security; (8) Eco Friend/Green; (9) Landscape Masterplan; (10) Expected Quality. However, weightage was adjusted to skew a little bit more toward the pricing (worthiness) due to the theme of “Affordability” in Year 2014.

It was a close call, especially editors struggled to convince each other on the Best Landed Residential Property. There were simply not many choices and each of shortlisted projects only has few great points to score as most of it simply could not really meet most of the criteria above. However, the quantitative result made the call and here we get GOLD, SILVER, and BRONZE of Landed Property of the Year.

Highrise category was an easy one. The top picks among the editors were fairly consistent. In year 2012, many claimed that most of our choices were skewed toward higher end. This year, two of three are “affordable” and editors believed the trend and theme will continue in year 2015. Most exciting affordable product in the range of RM400k to RM550k will be offered to the market in 2015, a BUYER MARKET!

Lastly, PropCafe editors would like to re-iterate that these choices are purely PropCafe’s view. Disagreement is expected among property enthusiasts out there. Let’s us agree to disagree. One thing for sure, there was no commercial element with developers in these choices. Hope you all enjoy this!

Best Landed Residential Property of Year 2014

GOLD: Lake Point Residence @ Cyberjaya By Yan Jian Group

http://www.lakepointresidence.com.my/

“Propcafe’s choice of most favourite landed of 2014 probably is the biggest surprise of all. Opened for booking towards end of the year, LPR is outstanding example of value property. With G&G concept, good size (22X70) and practical 3 storeys layout and prime location within Cyberjaya itself, the project is almost fully booked with attractive absolute price and PSF that hard to be beaten by other launches in Cyberjaya or in other areas. Via the future Setia Eco Glades’s interchange, the MEX highway and Putrajaya Sentral (station for ERL and future MRT2) are just short driving distance. Provided Cyberjaya could get recognition as preferred destination for G&G enclave, LPR might prove to be dark horse the buy of 2014. That if the YanJian delivers as per the artist impression.”
~ Black Coffee

“Lowest psf in the entire Cyberjaya. Value for money investment if nothing else. No frills G&G, Small little landed to call your own patch.

Unknown overseas developer (in Malaysia at least), no fancy club house, large built up but small foot print homes.”

~ Flat White

“Very good absolute price point, no frills G&G, with generous built up, next to future Chinese School, lakeside living is no longer a dream.

Developer can do better with the specs, lack of developer track record, quality of finishing is questionable.”

~ Café Latte

“Cyberjaya = Controversial, at least, among property enthusiasts. Near to 3ksf built-up with 5 rooms, good location within Cyberjaya, basic Gated and Guarded set-up means affordable maintenance fees, opposite the lake of Lakefront project, practical layouts, and most importantly one of the rare landed projects in Cyberjaya that offer below RM1 million. Even at the lousy location, it is not easy to find a new landed property within RM1 million except so called “Sibeh Far Place”.

Too bad, boutique development means less price push factor to move up the price in phases. It will rely on the performance of the landed property in Cyberjaya to determine the future selling prices. But one claimed, at least, it is the cheapest now! How bad can it be? Unknown developer to me but pilling work is half way there. Progress billing will be super fast. Get your cash ready if you are buyer. Unlikely to abandon but quality wise hard to comment. See you in 2016/17.”

~ Caffe Correto

“We all know landed in KV is scarce. Strata title at premium address Cyberjaya even more rare. Even if there is one, it usually come with a premium price tag. So for this project, in term of concept, size, design, basic security non frills G&G, address, price and all in all is well balance for the year of 2014, except the name of the developer. But it still worth a grab! Well, there is no perfect one but it almost meets all the basics.”
~ Soy Cappuccino

“Cheapest priced G&G in Cyberjaya , with future Setia Eco Glades interchange to MEX , public lake & Chinese school nearby ensure this development’s prospect. Although it is priced cheaply, it benefits from having rich neighbors.”
~ Affogato

https://propcafe.net/lake-point-residence-cyberjaya/

SILVER: Merrydale @ Eco Majestic, Semenyih BY Eco World

http://www.ecoworld.my/ecomajestic/

“For those keep in track of property news, who doesn’t know Eco Majestic @ Semenyih by Ecoworld? Any development launched by Ecoworlds will receive wide coverage from media, their loyal followers, social media etc. Who can blame them? The unique offerings and concept, the sumptuous celebrations thrown is making the development at the lips of everyone who are seeking a sanctuary within Klang Valley. With LEKAS interchange at almost completion stage, KL City would be more accessible.”
~ Black Coffee

“Grand entrance, manicure lawn, fountains here, there and everywhere will do the trick for local home buyers. Fully strata, in fact biggest strata development in Malaysia. The concept of “istana themed” home is rather refreshing.

Unproven far away from city location, Semenyih with no so cheap prices of houses. Strata property for outside Klang Valley has yet to be tested.”

– Flat White

“Dream like living environment, modern township planning, the former team behind SP Setia, great pre and post sales experience.

Distance, distance, distance, pricey, pricey, pricey”
 ~ Café Latte

“Signature township of Eco World, attract the old money from SP Setia supporters across the country. The developer trying to replicate the success of Setia Alam, or it is the purchasers are expecting it to turn up like the next Setia Alam in the south. All in all, good marketing strategy by Eco World.

Definitely not cheap for its location. Selling on expectations but not fact, purchasers more likely paying for brand name
.”
~ Kopi O Peng

“Eco World is selling a dream house which may make you forget about the location, which is actually Semenyih. 1000+ acres, it can be a very long term project. Price push factor will be there and it is what we called “Township Play”. One need to have a very strong visionary view to go in there as an investor i.e. holding power is the key here. Foresee no immediate huge jump of price when VP because the replica of Setia Alam may not materialise as fast as you think. But, with the interchange (but one good highway accessibility is enough?), it will help a lot on the access. Ownstayers who see the location as the secondary factor will love it. You won’t get anything near to it with the concept and pricing there in other developments near to City Center. So, location or dream house. Choice is yours. At least, it is still affordable at the moment.”
~ Caffe Correto

“Despite the address carries the name tag of semenyih, the overall concept is rather interesting and refreshing. Put the address aside, this one can be considered a home more than a house! The name of ecoworld is considered as the best brand of 2014!”
~ Soy Cappuccino

“Merrydale, will benefit from future kesas interchange. Buyer must have the foresight and patience to enjoy the fruit.”
~ Affogato

BRONZE: Periwinkle @ Bandar Rimbayu, Shah Alam By IJM Land

http://rimbayu.ijmland.com/periwinkle/default.aspx

“The first phase of Rimbayu, launched in 2013, has received rave response. The public was outcry with limited units available during the ballot where most units “sapued” by internal staffs prior the public ballot. Rimbayu has received attention due to large well planned township by reputable developer, good accessibility to few highways, short driving distance from established Kota Kemuning. However, this is leasehold land and remain to be seen whether buyers willing to pay top money for a leasehold landed property. Furthermore, the land there is quite low and the flood (or perception of flood) may happen there if the developer didn’t pay good attention to it.”
~ Black Coffee

“Any new landed launch that aren’t in Semenyih, Kajang, Cyber and Rawang should bring a breath of fresh air to home hunters. A F&G development close to the largely popular Kota Kemuning area. The location sells by itself, enough said.

IJM is not known for township development and there isn’t any larger scale commercial development within this township either. Low lay land above sea level and controversial land acquisition in nearby landmass by Tropicana and EcoWorld from State of Selangor.”

– Flat White

“Reputable developer with ability to deliver, refreshing green concept.

Leasehold and access to the township can be improved.”

~ Café Latte

“IJM’s signature township, affordable price, price push factors from future launch, early phases tends to make good money. Developer markets it as a development near to Kota Kemuning, which in fact it is not near enough to call it near.

Leasehold, 1st few phases are all “sapued” by internal staffs, stakeholders, VVIP at lower price, so flippers unlikely to compete with the earlier buyers, unless holding it long term.”

~ Kopi O Peng

“Don’t underestimate the growth of Shah Alam. Even during weekend, the NKVE is jam pack! It could be time consuming and long journey to ownstayers. But investors love the traffic as it means more opportunities with more human are heading there! Always, there is a flip side of the coin to see every point of view. Township x3. If you like township play, you won’t mean miss this. IJM has a good masterplan, the elevated park seems very interesting! 32×70 SMD cluster home less than RM1mil seems like a good value buy, especially for ownstayers!”
~ Caffe Correto

“1879 acres of certified green township with emphasing on the green and world within a word concept. IJM hardly failed you from the past proven records. With a gross development value of RM11billion which spread over 4 precincts and its strategic location, is one of my favourite in the year of 2014. If there is one thing which can be improved, I reckon is the facade! Anyhow that’s lie on the eyes of the beholder.”
~ Soy Cappuccino

“Periwinkle able to ride on the new SKVE access, makes travelling faster, without having to get on the congested Kesas. Again, buyer will have to be patient , as EcoWorld also will be launching its property development nearby.”
~ Affogato

Best Highrise Residential Property of Year 2014

GOLD: Vortex @ KLCC by Monoland

“A clear winner among property aficionados here, one of the most under the radar on property investors even a shrewd one. The first phase was fully booked with SPA signed and buyers paid 10% downpayment without blinking eyes (and without loan secured). With price starts from below RM1k psf, iconic façade and the icing on the cake is the layout. Monoland has managed to squeeze in 2 bedrooms with ensuite bathroom, kitchen, living, dining and study area within 731-831sqft. And when 2nd phase is opened for sale, most of the units were sold as well. It will remain to be seen whether the demand is still hot where there are more small size units flood KLCC in next 3-4 years.”
~ Black Coffee

“Any project that the developer opted to sell to homebuyers instead of homebuyers buying from developer is a sure winner already. Monoland’s motto “sell it low, and sell it all” paid off once again. Did we mention that the artists impression of the building is rather stunning too?

Nothing to shut about on amenities and finishing. You just have to accept that its cheaper than the other branded offering in the city and move on with life. Oh….at least you have palm trees dotted around the swimming pool area, yet again.”

~ Flat White

“Unbeatable price, location x 3, you make when you buy one.

Consider yourself lucky you can smell it. It is a ‘classified’ project, just like OSA1972.”

~ Café Latte

“Monoland always deliver value for money investment opportunity for its followers, below market value offering price with practical layout in good location.

The sales is only opened for invited guests. No brochure, no catalogue, no website, no price list. Sign SPA on the spot and pay 10%, so u need to be sure u can get loan, the good things of this policy is, it filters out all the unqualified buyers.”

~ Kopi O Peng

“Love the location, façade, and of course the PRICE! Monoland has proven to deliver its projects in Klang Valley after the completion of Titiwangsa Sentral, Oval D’Sara, Vipod, Quodro, and SOHO KLCC last few years. All buyers were laughing to the bank because Monoland’s project site always GREAT! And developer like to save all marketing costs and time with lower price. It means leave the monies on the table for buyers. So, don’t expect anything fancy like nice brochure, great reception, lion dance, official launch with “makan-makan”, special rebates, scaled model, show units etc. Sales personnel will tell you no one can beat their price, sign it now and pay 10% immediately, without booking form required. They always provide good quality kitchen and its accessories/ electronic appliances. Quality of material is good but finishing may not. Season investors know the expectation and strategy to manage the property from Monoland. Monoland is not everyone cup of tea but it is certainly mine!”
~ Caffe Correto

“Facade, location, practicality of layout , product itself and most important the price! It wins all! Definitely the jewel crown of 2014! Only if you lay your hand to grab one! This one really making everyone sideline feeling jealous!”
~ Soy Cappuccino

“Vortex, cheapest psf in KLCC vicinity. Monoland again has pull rabbit out of its hat. Central location in downtown KL. Priced cheaper than all surrounding recently launched developments.”
~ Affogato

https://propcafe.net/vortex-klcc-monoland/

SILVER: Midfields 2 @ Sungai Besi by YTL Land

http://www.ytlland.com/

“Mass market is the motto of property market in 2014. With price point of RM500-600k, family size and setup, good location with easy access to highway, and most importantly it is from YTL, Midfield 2 have received overwhelming demand from investors and own stayers. It was reported that some keen buyers started to queue one night before the launch in order to secure the choiced units. This is rarity in the slow market.”
~ Black Coffee

“YTL + Location + Reasonable Price = Sell out. Need we say more?

Separate car park podium block, a bit of wallk if your units are furthest away. Nothing to shut about on façade and design. In another words, pretty dull….”

~ Flat White

“Good location. Competitively priced, reputable developer.

Not easy to secure a unit, poor infrastructure upon VP for earlier phases, high density.”

~ Café Latte

“Someone called it best deal of the year, from reputable developer, nice layout, affordable price, and close vicinity to CBD.

Carpark in the separate building, leasehold, and below average workmanship judging from the phase 1 delivery.”

~ Kopi O Peng

“Probably the worst YTL product! Dull, plain, and lousy rental market in Phase 1. However, it is still a good buy for own stayers. Location, well, not too far away from KL city center. Not matter what, YTL still has its “CLASS” on landscape and common area or facilities. Too bad, it comes with high maintenance fees too. Great first home for own stay and surely it wouldn’t be too bad in couple of years time when you upgrade yourself to another development.”
~ Caffe Coretto

“Center of everywhere but middle of nowhere. Reasonable price plus Bread and butter product for the mass market. YTL product how wrong can it goes? Otherwise why people “die die” camped for their launch?”
~ Soy Cappuccino

“Easy access to KL/PJ via Connaught highway or Besraya. Attractively priced.”
~ Affogato

BRONZE: Saville @ Kajang By Metro Kajang Holding

http://www.mkhberhad.com/our_businesses/integrated_reko.aspx

“Another mantra is to follow the infrastructure and this is exactly what is Saville Kajang all about. Close proximity to KTM and upcoming MRT station with affordable pricing, the units are snapped like no tomorrow. It will be interesting to see people perception toward Jalan Reko in next 3 years where Saville Kajang starts the trend. And the winners would be the buyers that took the risk in 2014.”
~ Black Coffee

“CHEAP with good car park allocation. And was told MKH is a good developer too.

Who are we kidding? Its out of nowhere in Jln Reko. If this project was launched 10 years ago, people was struggling to find out where is Kajang. Oh! Did we say Kajang has annual flooding issue?”

~ Flat White

“Near to MRT and KTM interchange, Jalan Reko frontage with good access to highways

Not sexy location. Where is Jalan Reko?”
 ~ Café Latte

“1km away from future MRT/KTM. How can you complain given its very affordable price. You see all developers jack up its pricing whenever the word MRT in its advertisement. This is sure not one of it but don’t expect great façade from MKH and this is a typical mid-cost apartment design. You need a change of demographic in this area to boost the price in future. With the MRT in the picture, the hope is there.”
~ Caffe Correto

“Surprise surprise surprise… this one really caught everyone off guard. The name of “Saville” is a legend from MKH. Despite Kajang, this one located at the right place and the right time of 2014 and most importantly with the right price! With MRT and KTM nearby, it really add extra shine on the bronze plate of the Saville Kajang.”
~ Soy Cappuccino

“Saville Kajang , on busy Jalan Reko, which eventually leads to Kajang MRT station. At sub RM400k, hard to find similar propositions.”
~ Affogato

PropCafe Editors’ Choice of Year 2012 in Klang Valley:

Best Landed Property Development –

Gold:

Reed @ Lakefield by YTL (
http://www.reed.com.my/
)

“The closest to the city one can get for landed…and with ytl’s elegant design n concept…a dream comes true.” ~ Flat White

“If you see YTL, you are seeing the right thing but able to get it or not is another chapter.

One of the rare landed masterpiece with true KV address. It is beyond words!” ~ Soy Cappuccino

“ Classy architecture, lush landscape, variety units with dual entrance features, full GNG with club house, proximity to town, priced to sell, one just cannot ignore that this is one of the best deal in 2012. Such sizzling hot properties are sold via transparent ballot exercise observed by auditors in a posh downtown 5 star, a new industry standard set by YTL.” ~ Café Latte

“ YTL had a clear winner at hand, gated guarded landed with direct access to Besraya and minutes away from north-south highway as well as SMART tunnel, KESAS & MR2. Ballot was the best of the year, at a posh 5-star hotel, with food provided – nothing else came close for the year.” ~ Affogato

“Superlink in true blue G&G setup, with zero traffic light to KLCC. A bargain 2012 landed from YTL.” ~ Black Coffee

“If you want a landed property and to be near to KL City Center…How could you miss this!”~ Caffe Corretto

“说到 REED, 我们不只当着它看着是一般的围篱式排屋，其实LAKEFIELD是一个独立的小区，TRILLIUM 店屋区提供餐厅，银行，超市, 修车，补习等设备。居民不需要开车就能应付生活所需。此外，LAKEFIELD 距离巴生谷的总车站不远，从这开车到 BKT BINTANG区只需11分钟，全程高速但无需付过路费。发展商的售卖程序透明度极高，在五星级酒店举办抽签方式售卖，全程由外聘核數師经营处理，成为城内发展商的典范.” ~ Kopi O Peng

Silver:
 Phase 1 (Nusantara/Lui Li Gardens/ Lepironia Gardens) @ Setia Eco Glades by SP Setia (
http://www.setiaecoglades.com.my/
)

“One and the only one in KV. Another breakthrough by SP Setia. Very creative indeed.

Well balance between price and location. Best stuff is always limited. And this is the KV Limited Edition of 2012.” ~ Soy Cappuccino

“SP Setia looking to repeat Setia Ecopark’s success here, in the ‘hottest’ (or some would say coldest at night) location of the Klang Valley. Concept and design is way above competitors’. Another benchmark set by SPS.” ~ Affogato

“One of a kind development concepts feature thematic island dwelling, how cool is that! Marketed by Malaysia’s No.1 (by theedge) SP Setia. With its proven track record delivery distinctive award winning products, make no mistake, SP Setia will able to deliver.” ~ Café Latte

“Where to find? Island, Lake, Bund, and Waterfront Living…..It is more than just a house, it is HOME.” ~ Caffe Corretto

Part 2.
https://www.propcafe.net/setia-eco-glades-cyberjaya-part-ii/

Bronze:
 Temasya Citra @ Tesmaya Glenmarie by I&P (
http://www.temasyaglenmarie.my/
)

“Hot ballot, perhaps due to locality of proximity to rich PJ/Subang crowd. During the ballot process, no where else in KV could you find the most number of millionaires in one acre. Unlike Reed, queue was in the hot sun, with limited food served in the sweltering heat. But you don’t go there for the food – do you?” ~ Affogato

 G Residence @ Desa Pandan by Tan & Tan (
http://www.tantan.com/
)

“If you hit this one, you really hit the spot!” ~ Soy Cappuccino

“Launched at RM600psf. Seems cheap now, with location next to RSGC as well as the future behemoth – TRX. As long as RSGC remains, the density in this area will be low. With Tan & Tan’s name, one doesn’t have to think much about quality and end product.” ~ Affogato

“The name of Tan & Tan itself already sold! Tun Razak Exchange (TRX), Ampang Embassy Row, KL City Center……Where are you now? I will be there within minutes!” ~ Caffe Corretto

“Located at the fringe of CBD with various accesses, reasoanbly priced, a product of Tan & Tan, and near to the growth area of TRX. One could hardly go wrong with these USP (unique selling point).” ~ Café Latte

One of the rare integrated commercial-residential-MRT at door step, development.” ~ Affogato

Eco Forest Price
 – Price for Stripe (the entry level) is about RM331 PSF for fully GnG, higher specification for finishing, higher percentage of green, lower density, etc. Is this price range reasonable and easy to be swallowed by home stayers/upgraders?

Note: Cradleton (entry level terrace) in Eco Majestic was launched at RM290 PSF in mid 2014. Upon VP, several transactions were completed at 10-15% higher than SPA price despite the lackluster property market and also extremely tightening credit (from the legalised ah-loong aka banks).

Eco Forest Current offering :

– 3% + 2% early bird special
(The 2% is special discount for those who can sign the SPA within 14 days)

– Additional 2% for EW repeated buyers

– Free legal fees and stamp duty on Sales & Purchase Agreement (SPA) and loan agreement

– Booking fee is RM5,000

– Balance of down payment can be paid via credit card one time off or via instalment with zero interest with selected banks (Maybank, Affin, Hong Leong and Public Bank)

– MOT is borne by purchaser (this may be needed to be paid upon VP or subject to title issuance)

– Zero furnish

Timelines or Milestone

EcoWorld has been launching their products since Q3 2013. They are pretty much on ‘steroid’ firing all cylinders to acquire land and then launch, and then click REPEAT. What are happening in EF? What are their timelines and milestone?

As of now – Many activities are happening at site.

September 2017 – They launched the Artisan Home and Garden Home. There is a total of 685 units.

By Q2 2018– Launching of Rumah SelangorKu. Construction period will be from 2018 till 2021.

Lake Forest Park is scheduled to be completed in 2020 or slightly earlier. The Labs concept will straightaway to be brought in.

Possibly by 2020, some 300+ apartment and 60+ shop buildings will be completed to support the community.

The SJKC TonFah in Eco Majestic may start their school session in January 2020.

Second access via south side of Eco Forest? No committed date. One still need to keep rubbing the crystal ball.

With the milestone in place, it seems that they are pretty much hitting the spot. They are building the green environment, live-life balanced community and businesses via Labs to make Eco Forest a self-sustainable community.

What are the USPs for Eco Forest?

A fully Gated and Guarded (GnG) township with strata title and adequate allocation for green area (I was told the green area ratio is slightly higher than Eco Majestic due to the theme of Eco Forest).

An almost self sustainable township with 515 freehold land. This may take awhile as the other two giant developers have yet to go all out in developing their land.

Proper road system with provision for landscape and also walking and cycling path. Their proposed 132’ and 100’ roads are with provision of proper landscape, walking path (about 1.2 m) and also walking cum cycling path (of about 3.0 m width).

The 25-acre Lake Forest Park is something that one can hardly find in any townships within Malaysia. 25 acres is about 5% of their total land in Eco Forest. Just to give you the size perspective. The 25-acre Lake Forest Park is estimated to be the size of Setia Walk Puchong plus Tesco Puchong.

Labs concept in Lake Forest Park. This new concept basically revolutionized the concept of space, utilizing containers and refurbishing them to be the finest play space for growing retail and F&B brands, including co-working spaces. Such people oriented place will be a fantastic catalyst for young entrepreneurs to realize their entrepreneurship.

EcoWorld Community Apps will be fully utilized in Eco Forest. This apps is pretty convenient to pay maintenance fee, send notification (such as Lost & Found, fogging time, etc.), register your guests/visitors, book a visitor car park, file a defect, put up your comments, communicate with the management office, etc. This could simplify all the processes in a digitalized manner.

Located nearby to Broga Hill, a hiking cum picnic place. I won’t mind retire in Eco Forest as cardio exercise is part of my routine. The fresh air and also the slightly lowered temperature will be a plus point.

Notthingham University can be indirectly a USP due to constant pool of professional staff and also students (5000+) with deep PAMA fund and purchasing power.

SJKC is not coming to Eco Forest but then a revamped SJKC Ton Fah may be relocated from Beranang to Eco Majestic which is a 7-8 minutes drive away. When? At present, it is still a drawing board stage and the forecasted milestone will be sometime in 2020 (hope this ain’t sound like our ‘Wawasan 2020’).

What are the major concerns?

Single access scenario
 – At present, there is only one access to Eco Forest. To me, I think this is a very challenging and imminent concern. How and When would EcoWorld will start working with the neighboring to create a one plus one equal to more than two situation. No one can answer the question at the moment.

Minor soil settlement on filled land area
 where this could potentially cause uneven and minor to moderate soil settlement. My take is that EcoWorld team is probably have had enough nightmare or experience during their initial project in Setia Alam. By now, they should be on top of this issue, hopefully. To date, there are hardly any complaints in Eco Majestic. Both Eco Forest and Eco Majestic are former palm oil estates which probably have the same soil profile.
Note: Plaster crack on the wall doesn’t really mean soil settlement.

Flood exposure
 – The entire Eco Forest is located out of 500-Year flood zone as per recognized global flood map. At the most southern tip of Eco Forest, it is still approximately 700 meter away from the 500-Year flood zone. What does 500-Year flood zone mean to laymen or potential house buyers? Basically it means the probability of flood occurring in 500-Year flood zone is about 0.2%. Thus, in short, flood exposure in EF is relatively remote with the exception of technical/man-made problems such as clogged culvert or improper drainage gradient causing backflow.

Is there a designated dog park within the Central Park in Eco Forest?
 – At present, there is no provision of designated dog park. I tried many times to convince them that a project of such size will need a proper designated dog park to stand out of the crowd. And yes, Eco Forest will have two reputable neighbors (Mutiara Hills by Boustead and Unknown by I&P) beside them. These two developers can really have the ‘dough’ to give Ecoworld a run for their money. I will explain why designated dog park is important in later section.

Increasing maintaining fee
– Similar to Eco Majestic setup, most of the money guzzling items such as the lake, parks, etc. are located outside of respective phases. These will be eventually hand over to local council. Since the developer still has land to develop, it is natural to continue to upkeep this place (including those hand-over items) to be at tip top condition.

New proposed high tension cable
– This is a surely a ‘curveball’ came out of nowhere. Only recently, they get to know that there is a new proposed high tension cable (on pylon) that will run by at the far east side of EbonyLane. This realignment of high tension cable is initiated by local authority. Preliminary information showing that, the spatial separation is about 50 – 60 meter. A magnifier glass should be utilized to investigate more on how the proposed high tension cable could affect EbonyLane in particular. The next question, what can be done from the perspective of the developer?

Cemetery land (Tanah Perkuburan Broga)
– At present, there is a small plot of land that is used as cemetery land. It is located east side of Eco Forest. Is think a concern? I personally think that we can live with quiet neighbors for sure. Quiet neighbor is always better than ‘noisy and nosy’ neighbors. The only problem with the location of cemetery is that it may create traffic congestion during certain weekends in the period of ChengMeng (All Souls Day). Consolation is the cemetery land is relatively small (i.e. about 11 acres) as compared to the three giants (namely Nirvana Memorial Garden, Nirvane Memorial Park and Semenyih Memorial Hills) located at Jalan Sungai Lalang, Semenyih. These three giant players have a combined land area of 800+ acres (estimated from WikiMap).  Tengster’s late papa and mama are resting in Nirvana Memorial Garden, I think the traffic in Jalan Sungai Lalang is really horrible during All Souls Day period. So, is this a true concern for Eco Forest to have a small cemetery land prior to their main access?

Where are the kebangsaan schools and Chinese school
? – Similar to Eco Majestic, at the time of writing this review, there is no verified news about Chinese school. In fact, at present there is no provision of land in Eco Forest which is earmarked for Chinese school. The only so-called confirmed news is SJKC will be constructed in Eco Majestic (as part of the relocation program). However, there is a plot of land at the south west side allocated for kebangsaan school. “Heng ahh”. At least, there is a school in Eco Forest. As for international school, I can’t see anything on the masterplan and I didn’t get any hint that there will be one in Eco Forest. Don’t hope too much but live with it.

What do others think?

(Below are the actual words from some of the purchasers and someone I have interviewed.)

Why will I choose to stay in Eco Forest (Broga)?

Their proposition does not show a clear edge from the existing and upcoming properties around the area. However, the deal breaker is the location and access – there is virtually nothing going on in Broga to set it apart from other developments. There is the University of Nottingham and this may be a double edged sword in itself but the bottom line is we do not wish to deal with Uni/College areas. Lush greenery is a plus but getting in and out on a daily basis is a foreseeable royal pain with the nearest highway (LEKAS) about 8-10 km away and you would have to cut through other dense catchments along the way. Ditto for public transport as well with the nearest MRT being in Kajang and you would still need your own vehicle to get there. (Sent in by Mr. Aceson).

Living in Semenyih/Broga

It has been 9 month since me and my family moved in to Semenyih and almost 4 month to our new home in Eco Majestic. Overall it is a great experience and it would be my pleasure to share it with others.

Me and my partner works in Kuala Lumpur city centre. The distance from Eco Majestic to my workplace is approximately 37 km. The journey starts at 7.15 am and using Waze to navigate through the traffic, I can reach my workplace at 8.30 am. The journey includes a 15 minutes detour to send my kids to their kindergarten. For those who opt to use the MRT, the nearest station will be the Kajang Station. If you leave at 7.15 am, it will take you about 25 minute to reach the station. The MRT will take you

another 45 minutes to the city centre. Once there was a dedicated non-stop Rapidbus to go to Pudu Central every Monday to Friday. It will leave from Semenyih Central to Pudu Sentral at 6.30 am and from Pudu Sentral to Semenyih Sentral at 6.30 pm. Due to the MRT, I’m not quite sure whether this service is
ongoing or it has been discontinued.

Grocery, market – The nearest hypermarket would be Tesco in Pelangi Semenyih and The Store in

Semenyih Sentral. Others will be Giant Hypermarket in Kajang Perdana and Billion Supermarket in Bandar Teknologi Kajang. You can also find lots of small grocery shops, and other shops like 99 speed mart and 7-11 around Semenyih to cater for your daily needs. There is a farmers market at Pekan Beranang on every Wednesday and Saturday morning. You can find fresh fruits, vegetables, chicken meat and beef, local delicacies and even a local coffee supplier. There is also a wet market in Pekan Semenyih.

Hospital, clinic, medical-  For private hospital the nearest one would be An Nur Specialist Hospital and Az Zahra Private Hospital in Bandar Baru Bangi. As for the government hospital, it would be Kajang Hospital. If the condion is not so emergency, I would suggest to go to Serdang Hospital, Putrajaya hospital or HUKM as these hospital are much bigger in term of the facilites. As for private clinic, the choices are abundance.

Facebook Group – I would suggest to join the kami Penduduk Semenyih facebook group as you can find lots of information and services in Semenyih. No doubt it is a facebook group and sometimes the information can be misleading but I find that the group is a good alternative to have.

Mosque – The biggest mosque in Semenyih would be the one in Kem Batalion 4 PGA Semenyih near
the Tesco Pelangi Semenyih. As a muslim, we have to register our Khairat kematian to the
nearest mosque/surau. Khairat Kematian is a process of registering Muslim individual to a mosque/surau in case of death occurs. This is something I need to search for and definitely will share it with others fellow Muslim once I got the information.

Food, restaurant, fast food –  McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, Domino’s Pizza, Subway and Secret Recipe are all in Semenyih. There are also many other restaurants serving western food and local food around Semenyih.

Harapan dan hajatku – Semenyih currently is a mix of small villages and township. If you go around, you can see some part of Semenyih is still a village, and this village have been here since many years ago. As a new comer, I really hope that we can respect and tolerate with all the residents in Semenyih in order to have a harmonious living. (Sent in by Encik H)

Me and Semenyih

My experience with this small town is pretty short at the moment. I purchased a property and will be looking to move in soon. Hopefully. [Intended fraction]

I have only heard of the name Semenyih a few times before and only got a bit more acquainted with it years later. I think i might have passed by it a few time too during some of my earlier work assignments. Now I go over there almost every weekend to do a quick check on my property.

Semenyih can be considered a small town. It reminds u of a chinese new village setup. Probably some parts of Semenyih is a chinese new village. In saying so, Semenyih appears to be developing rapidly with new residential as well as commercial properties within its surrounding area as well as within its close proximity. Semenyih is probably well known because of d famous and yet very congested Broga Hill as well as the University of Nottingham Malaysia campus which is thriving.

One thing for sure is that if u r a KL person and living in KL, the words “Very Far” is first comes to mind. It is about 40 to 50 km from the centre of kl, any which route u might decide to take. I still think it is far but I have grown used to it by now and it is not really a concern for me anymore.

The times that I have been to Semenyih, food is something to think about. I haven’t really checked out the places to eat but what I gathered from my neighbors and friends is that there is abundance of nice good food of various varieties to experience there. Actually google also returns a good many search result and suggestions if u fancy to try them out.

How is the food pricing you would wonder. Well I have tried some normal ‘makan places’ and I would say that it is slightly actually only slightly cheaper than KL.

Semenyih might not be such a small town when you can find a Tesco Semenyih around. Therefore, cost of living can be actually similar or just slightly lower compared to KL.

There is nothing really lacking in this small town. You can find just about anything from wet market to hypermarket, schools to banks, kopitiams to cafes, home cooked food to fast food, service stations to petrol stations, you name it. If you can’t find it then there is always Kajang town nearby.

Why you wonder anyone would relocate from a big city to a fairly small town by any standards, well I am also not sure. But for me, I like to have a balanced fast paced city working life as well as a slow paced after office life.

There is still a lot of development to come from Semenyih and I will be eagerly waiting to experience it. This is just my 2 cents worth. (Sent in by Mr. F)

Question & Answer

What
 happened to the landscaped roundabouts when the traffic is too high to cope with?

There are quite a number of landscaped roundabouts in both Eco Forest and Eco Majestic. Typically, when the traffic volume is getting higher, the authority will then propose to conduct traffic study. Once the study shows that the landscaped roundabout could not cope with current traffic volume, they will then propose to convert them into a busy junction with traffic lights in order to enhance the traffic flow is not affected.

What type of buyers will buy into Eco Forest properties?

There are various types of buyers for Eco Forest. Who will buy and who are not that gung-ho?

First time buyer – This group of buyers would exchange travel time and also part of their salary for a well balanced life and to live in a cosy home (not house).

I love the show house – This will be categorized as the emotional buyers who had a crush and love at first sight. Surely nothing wrong with this category. We buy what we love.

Broga Hill aka Green lung lovers – This category could be retirees or also some would have perfect skill to adopt work life balanced with proper exercise (such as hiking or trail running).

PaMa Fund – The rich parents would love their kids to stay nearby with them. They chose to fund part of the property prices. In laymen terms, they sapu-ed several units for their loved ones.

Investors/Flippers  – This will probably be the least percentage in the buyer profile as they would have known such development may take slightly longer time to realize their profit considering the economy situation and also tightening liquidity in the market.

The above is basically my tikam-tikam guesstimate based on the preferences and risk appetite of various type of buyer profiles.

Why all units in Eco Forest are only North and South orientation?

The sun rises at East and sets at West. Theoretically, the hottest time (as per air conditioning heat load design sifoo) of the day is about 3 pm when the sun is heading to the ‘set’ direction. Meanwhile based on the wind chart, the wind in our country normally blows at east and west. With both elements in mind, north south orientation will be most energy efficient direction as it could avoid the heat yet retaining the chillness inside. Comprender!

Okie now, I can sidetrack a bit and ‘goreng’ some on another point why most buyers choose south facing units despite having to pay slight premium. This point is purposely goreng for the Chinese buyers. North South orientation is deemed as good as it is ‘Chour Park Heong Nam’, which is literally translated from Cantonese. It means ‘your back sitting at south with front facing north’. Actually, there is no one perfect direction for all people. It is very depending on individual ‘Bazi’ (Chinese astrology) but then the overall perception in Malaysia is that South is sure win direction. Nothing wrong with paying slight premium for the orientation you wish to get. In fact, for flippers, south facing is the only way to go in my two cents.

Which layout is your preferred?

This is solely my opinion based on my preference. My pick is Garden Home Collection Type Layer 30×62. Apart from the practical layout and the eye catching façade, the side terrace which may have a collapsible glass panel/fixed glass panel (to be installed at own cost) will be the most captiva-Teng feature to me. The collapsible glass panel can be opened up to make it like open terrace and have your coffee/wine/whisky/Puer. Apart from that, being a cat and dog person, that 10 feet green area will be a good place for the pets to run around. The second pick will be Gable with a double volume living hall where a drinking bar can be setup.

This is the fixed glass panels that are installed in the current showhouse for Layer. The fixed glass panels are for illustration only. For me, I will install collapsible glass panels whereby I can fully open it. This area can be used as outdoor or indoor type rendering us much flexibility that I wanted.

What is actually Labs?

Labs are pretty much like a living laboratory to test out something new. In a blunt word, it is like white mice test laboratory. But then these labs are more for F&B or any other retail businesses. By conceptualizing such labs concept, it make good the usage of space within the people area in which in this case, the epic center will be at Lake Forest Park. For a start, they will be utilizing cabin method to build something practical and yet mesmerizing. Labs is a perfect stepping stone for someone to start up new venture be is a ‘cloud swallow noodle’ stalls or small shops (let say 100 -200 sqft.) selling compost/enzyme or running shoes or even a bike shop. If there is a designated dog park in Lake Forest Park, it will be worth looking into setting up some pet related one stop center (such as hotel, grooming center, shop, etc.),etc. Below is an image about the proposed labs in Eco Ardence when one can visualize better.

Can Eco Forest compete or complement with Eco Majestic?

I am going to compare them with some facts and also educated guesses. My answer is YES. Eco Forest and Eco Majestic are complementing each other rather than competing. Below are the whys? Perhaps some can agree and some can disagree:

Size
 – Eco Forest (515 acres) versus Eco Majestic (1089 acres). Does size really matters in term of development? I would say a BIG YES. With the excitement create in Eco Majestic, I am sure some may begin to know what is this township is about. Perhaps, there is a market for those who like a bit more serene environment (no shopping mall and club house) but closer to the green lung (Broga Hill). On top of that, Eco Majestic is surely complementing with the development in EcoHill 1 & 2 (which have a combined area of 1700+ acres). Somehow, this reminded me of Setia Alam (SP Setia) and also Bandar Bukit Raja (by the sleepy giant Sime Darby).

People
 – The people effect is mainly on the team handling Eco Forest now who already had a fantastic journey in learning the ropes since Northern Hammock Estate days. Some of them begin ‘crawling and walking’ since 2004 when SP Setia began to launch in the siberh-far land in Setia Alam with a single access at Jalan Meru. Probably some of industry peers would have thought that the ‘tua-taukeh’ (big boss) had a knock on his head before acquiring that estate. Time flies and here comes Eco Majestic in 2014. Majority of team members handling Eco Majestic are now supporting Eco Forest. Pretty much in short, they don’t have to reinvent the wheel but spend more quality time in enriching the ideas of transforming the township to stay coherent with the green environment.

Infrastructure
 – I tried very hard to find what kind of infrastructure that Eco Forest can offer to the community or Eco Majestic. I really can’t think of anything. Perhaps the only thing that Eco Forest can offer is their ’Green-frastructure’ i.e. the green environment (inclusive of the 25 acre Lake Forest Park) and Broga Hill. But on the contrary, on this part, Eco Majestic will be able to complement Eco Forest in a much better way. Firstly, there is SJKC TonFah and international school (in EcoHill). Secondly, the proposed commercial area (with shopping malls) will be a great positive factor to EF. Thirdly, the club house (in drawing board stage) will be able to complement the EF community.

Can the developer deliver the concepts shown in the sales gallery of Eco Forest?

This question is a bit tricky. Expectation management is a soft skill that one hopes to acquire and master. Not many would have thought that the strong and mighty Italy Football Team could FAIL to qualify for 2018 World Cup Final in Russia. As for Eco Forest, I would suggest to those who this question in mind, to check out Eco Majestic sales gallery and have a drive through the township to evaluate whether Ecoworld manages to deliver their concepts over.

What is tengster’s dream list in Eco Forest?

When Olympics first allowed the USA professional B-ball players to participate in the Olympic, they (the Americans) had a dream team that comprises of the best point guard, power forward, 3-point shooters, clutch shooter, huge tall clumsy center (with a consistent hook shot) and coach. In Eco Forest, I took the opportunity to present my dream list. I am not going to teach their grandma how to suck eggs as it is like showing Michael Jordan how to do a fake pull away jump shot. Their planning team is possibly 1000 times smarter than what I think/know. This is perhaps my 2 cents. To me, nothing is always the best, there is always better. And only the better one stands out of the crowd.

An alternative access – This group of buyers would exchange travel time and also part of their salary for a well balanced life and to live in a cosy home (not house). An alternative access with a timeline will be a comforting feeling when you sign on the dotted line (of SPA).

Acquire the neighboring land (nothing less than 500 acres) – Develop part of the land for commercial use and some other phases for residential. When the land is larger, perhaps it is time to plan for more schools.

Champion a MRT station – Defy the norm. Let’s tweak the rules and make people forget that Broga/Semenyih are god-forsaken places. Make them remember ‘MRT udah sampai kat sini’. Ini bukanlah pekan kechik yang asyik terpinggir seperti dulu.

Adopt Broga Hill – Maintain the hiking routes, create a small campsite for study purpose (noncommercial type) with classrooms, cultivate awareness of the importance of having more green in our environment, etc. Can also work with Notthingham University students on certain pertinent programs.

Practice a strict but volunteered 4R program – 4R stand for Reuse, Reduce, Repurpose & Recycle (in random manner). Beside putting the recycle boxes, work closer with the community to cultivate more awareness of this program. Put up a plantation that solely use compost materials from the community or collected elsewhere. By doing so, we can live harmoniously with the environment which in line with Eco Forest theme, and most importantly everyone can do their part to protect our Mother Nature.  Broga was once earmarked as the proposed location for a gigantic incinerator in which some of the residents fought relentlessly and won the battle. There is no more proposed incinerator in Broga. Live the moment, cherish the environment.

Regulated and designated dog park – Being a dog and cat lover myself, I wish to see such park exists more in new townships. I have seen enough signboards of “No Dog Allowed” in running park but then we can have a designated park to let the pets run freely and communicate with others. Is this a pull factor in township? Maybe one should ask why BU and DPC have their so-called designated dog parks? Do they really generate revenue as compared to a 50,000 sqft commercial area? Imagine how deep are the pockets of the owners of the Great Dane, German Shepard, Husky, Poomerang, Dalmatian, etc. Look at those related shops (pet hotel, pet shop, pet grooming center, etc.) that are mushrooming here and there.  There are everywhere because of demand and supply.  Full grooming for a mid size dog could easily cost RM100 whereby my own haircut probably only cost RM18. Now we can imagine what kind of purchasing power can be brought into Eco Forest? Having a designated dog park aint about just the pet? It may generate intangible benefits in very subtle manner. Can Ecoworld be bold enough to be a trend setter in this case. Time will tell.

Bottom line

This integrated development is located in a sleepy town of Broga with single access (at time of writing this review). The launching prices are pretty much at market for stratified GnG properties in such economy situation. Can Ecoworld work out their ‘magic’? Will the adjacent land owners/developers work hand in hand to grow this place? What can Broga offers to the home buyers/purchasers? With the single access scenario, how could Ecoworld and other developers improves the connectivity.

Who is Eco World?

EcoWorld’s vision is far from being a builder. Our vision is to create world class eco living in all our developments. The best way to predict the future is by creating them, which is why we hold true to our dictum of “Creating Tomorrow & Beyond”.

At EcoWorld, we are driven by the mission of feeling for humanity and nature, where our developments progress towards a World Class Eco Living standard. We are inspired by people and only deliver the best quality for our customers and our environment. Our developments will be known as an inspiration of innovative eco product positioned to take global centre-stage as a true icon.

Advancing ahead, we are spreading our wings from Kuala Lumpur to the whole of Malaysia, venturing into many more developments including townships, integrated commercial developments, high-rise residential and business parks. With ever growing presence in Klang Valley, Iskandar Malaysia and Penang, EcoWorld is set to become a benchmark property developer in Eco development.

PROPCAFE™ Guest Review: Rimba Villa @ Bandar Setia Alam By SP Setia

PROPCAFE loves to hear and learn from all property enthusiats and always believe that the best way for each of us to do it is to share the views (good or bad) on each of property that we are interested, be it for investment or ownstay. Surely, there is a story behind each property. PROPCAFE really appreciates
KG
, one of our PROPCAFE buddies, who is kind enough to share his opinion on the recently launched Rimba Villa in Setia Alam by SP Setia and PROPCAFE hope many of you will do the same in future! Please write to us and share your experience with others!

Rimba Villa – Forest’s Gentle Embrace

I still remember vividly when I was a child I went back to my dad’s “Kampung” at least once a year during Chinese New Year. My dad’s “kampung” was very near to the forest and the air at the “kampung” was so different from the city. It was very fresh and cooling at night, to the extent that we turned off the fan in the middle of the night because it was too cold !! And I remembered every morning when I woke up, I was always greeted with sounds of birds tweeting and of course being in “Kampung”, the sound of the rooster crowing… Now, with developments at every corner of the city and greater klang valley, it is hard to even find a spot with forest next to our backyard, not to even mention the sounds of birds chirping and rooster crowing … but well… I said hard, it is not impossible.. ☺

Located next to Setia Alam forest is a latest development called Rimba Villa by SP Setia. Many people will not regard Setia Alam as “kampong” now after seeing the rapid rise of this SP Setia flagship township over the past 10 years. However, SP Setia “secretly” kept this 73 acres plot of land at its backyard for more than 10 years, and now it is time to unleash it ☺ Last weekend (Sept 30 & Oct 1), SP Setia soft-launched Phase 1 of Rimba Villa (~120 units) to the public. Here is the summary:

Land size: 73 acres

No of units : 430 units

Density: ~6 units per acre

Property Type: 2 storey 32×75 linked Semi-D

Development Details: Gate and Guarded, Strata Title, comes with private clubhouse within the parcel, smart intercom system and perimeter fencing with CCTV

First the location. It is located at the northern part of Setia Alam. Location here (from google map):

East
 of Rimba Villa is the forest. If you google “setia alam community forest”, you will see that there is a forest trail where many hikers and nature lovers like to explore this untouched nature during weekends. According to Setia Alam Community Forest (Setia Alam Trail) facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/Setiaalamtrail/
, it says:

This group is dedicated to the conservation of Shah Alam Community Forest (SACF) located between Setia Alam (Sect U13), Alam Budiman (Sect U10) and NusaRhu (Sect U10) in Shah Alam, Selangor.

SACF is an approx. 430 acres of selectively logged lowland rainforest. SACF forms a critical ecological corridor that connects the two remaining patches of Bukit Cerakah forest reserve: Subang Dam water catchment forest and Taman Botani Shah Alam, both which are believed to still home the endangered Malayan Tapir, among other threatened species.

SACF is currently owned by the State Govt (130 acres) and PKNS (300 acres) and is highly at risk of commercial development. SACF Society was officially formed in March 2016 to attempt to save and gazzette this precious forest.

South
 of Rimba Villa is the existing Setia Ecopark.

West
 of Rimba Villa is the existing Setia Taipan 2 and apartments developed by SP Setia and Sun Suria (eg: Sri Baiduri, Suria Rafflessia)

North
 of Rimba Villa is an empty land planned for Sekolah.

The approximate distance to from Rimba Villa to few spots within Setia Alam are:

Setia Taipan commercial shops: 500m

Tenby Private and International School : 4km

Setia Alam Wetland park: 2km

Peninsula International School: 3.7km

Pin Hwa SRJK © : 4km

BMW/Toyota/Honda Service Centre: 4.5km

Setia City Mall : 3km

Tesco Setia Alam: 6.5km

Eramas commercial shops : 6km

Setia Alam Central Park: 5km

Setia Alam NKVE toll : 5km

In summary, location wise, I would say it is pretty good. Within 5-6km radius, there is no shortage of amenities such as shops, schools, access to NKVE, hypermarkets, shopping mall etc

Next is the details of what SP Setia got to offer within this G&G enclave. The list is pretty comprehensive actually:

An exclusive resident clubhouse with adult swimming pool, kids wading pool, gym, reading room, surau, resident lounge, BBQ pit

A sanctuary pond with jogging tracks

A 88 ft wide linear park

Children playground

Canopy Treehouse

Raindrop garden

Grove Gym

Mini Orchard

Bird Watching Deck

Rimba Trail

The location and artist impression for some of the “attractions” above are shown in pictures below (Extract from SP Setia Brochure and YouTube video):

One of the highlight is the clubhouse. The location of the clubhouse is at the highest point in the entire Rimba Villa, which offers a 360 degree panoramic view of Setia Alam and the forest. The clubhouse elevation is about 70m above sea-level according to Mr. Google Earth. Hence, you can expect view like this from the swimming pool or the gym at the clubhouse when it completes 3 years from now:

 The rest of the terrain within Rimba Villa is pretty high. Phase 1 terrain ranges from about 39m to 50m above sea-level, according to Mr. Google Earth as well ☺

Another highlight is the linear garden in the middle of Rimba Villa Phase 1. It will be a landscaped garden (with 88ft wide and ~750ft in length). For example at the center of the linear garden, you will see this nice pavilion.

Now, let’s zoom into the actual product offered, the 2 storey 32×75 linked Semi-D. Phase 1 Rimba Villa consists of 168 units of 2 storey 32×75 linked Semi-D. Of the 168 units, only 120 units were soft-launched last weekend by SP Setia. All the 168 units are split into 2 types, type B and type C. The floorplans are shown here:

Type B and C (ground floor)

Type B (1
st
 floor)

Type C (1
st
 floor)

Type B and C are different only in the 1
st
 floor, where the roof garden for Type B is almost twice the size of Type C’s roof garden. This is due to Type C bedroom 2 is annexed at the rear to the adjacent unit at the back. Type B built up area is 2653sf and Type C built up area is 2680sf.

Façade wise, there are two types, type 1 and 2. Type 1 is always the unit on the left if you look at the house from the front. Type 2 is always the unit on the right if you look at the house from the front.

In summary, for the actual product itself, I find it very practical and “safe” which should gel well with most of the buyers out there. One more information, the ceiling height is 11.5ft at the ground floor, and 10.5ft at the first floor. It is pretty generous in my view.

Lastly, probably the most anticipated question, how much ? ☺

Here are the details:

Price wise: starting from RM1.43m. Current rebates offered by SP Setia are 5% + up to 3.1% loyal customer rebate (LCR) for repeated buyers. LCR is calculated based on the value of SP Setia houses you bought previously, and it is tiered. What if you are the 1
st
 time buyer? Don’t worry, if you are the 1
st
 time SP Setia buyer and if you nominate an introducer, your introducer will get 2% rebate. Legal fees for SPA and Loan are borne by SP Setia as well (except the MOT stamp duty)

Verdict ? Well, back to the question posted in the beginning of this write-up: do you fancy a landed, nicely landscaped G&G development within a matured township but next to a forest, with natural fresh air and sounds of the bird chirping greeting you every morning when you wake up? If the answer is yes, head no further but Setia Alam Welcome Centre this weekend to check it out. Lastly, I would leave you with a video clip of Rimba Villa.

PROPCAFE™ Guide: 房购宝典 – 购买房产时的120 个“不” – Part 1

序文

PROPCAFE
TM
每位创办人都是不折不扣的房地产狂热者。我们不是地产界的大师，我们只是一群热爱分享各自经验和研讨房地产资讯的发烧友。这些年来我们的WhatsApp群组积累了许多资讯，也有许多来自创办人经验。本文结合了大部分的叙述，希望赋予投资人或房产待购者宝贵的参考。谨记所有的意见需依据个人情况采用，不要盲目跟从。

您可放松地如看小说般阅读，如果你喜欢我们的引言，请使用它，当然可以的话请记得引述我们论述。如果你认为这都是胡说，可以跳过与忽略它。

观点是
没有所谓的对与错！如果你没办法一次性读完（实在挺有难度的），欢迎下次再来参阅哦！

Note: If you prefer to read in English version, please check it out

让我们开始
PROPCAFE 购房者”宝典”
 – ”
购买房产的120 个不”!

 A1. 投资用途 (综合观察)

1
当涉及到投资，不要买你想要的，要买大众想要的。相对于投资在高端物业，中端物业已被证明是更易于出租和出售，并取得相应的投资回报。稀分市场（Niche market） 需要不同级别的长线持有力。不要让自己因投资高端物业, 投入大笔金额后无法在短期内变现而身陷困境。如今低廉物业过剩，您可要好好做分析。

准备事宜: 你的目标区域的大众市场是什么？切记，不同的地区有不同级别的大众市场。

2
不要一等再等！只要有好的物业和价格，任何时候都是购买房产的好时机。好的产业即使经济低迷，房价也不会遭受完全显著的下降。要“捕捉” 低于市场价格又好地点的物业对于普通投资者并不容易.

准备事宜: 什么水平才视为一个正确入场时机？ 如今你可用许多网上资讯和交易数据可以做参考。

3.
当你购买远低于市场价值的二手房，请不要太开心！事前查询工作非常重要。

准备事宜: 检查房产是否有中止诉讼的申请，它可能已属于拍卖物业了。

4
. 不要购买你不熟悉的产业类型。须跳出传统的投资组合和必须有多元化的思维.

准备事宜:了解你自己的财务和离场策略。

5.
不要让决策完全基于价格和市场价值（不论上升或下调）。一些物业特征和位置可以激发购买者的情绪（熟悉感）和拥有欲，特别是在一个发展成熟且供应有限的区域。

准备事宜: 成熟的区域有更多的交易数据，找出它的供应和需求！

6.
不要购买未经实地考察的单位。否则，这和瞎子摸象没分别。

准备事宜: 在不同的时段（早和晚），人潮（高峰和低峰）考察物业地段。

7.
不要买有墓园景观的产业! 当然有少数的会兴旺，但绝大多数会因多数买家主观因素而不利脱售.

准备事宜: 尝试谷歌搜索并
向有关地方政府了解房子所在地段的未来规划，尤其是周围未开发的土地。

8.
不要太专注于同一栋楼的租金收入的差异。差异可能取决于运气，对方（在一定程度上，你所用房屋经纪人）的能力和单位设计或许直接影响租金高低。

准备事宜: 了解市场的租金价位，设置合理范围。只要属于合理的出租价格都可以接受。不要因小失大.

9.
只为了找出如何购买更多超出你负担能力的融资方法而参加房地产学习营是不正确的。当你在挑战这个银行信贷系统的时候，你可能同时在自掘坟墓。不要“赌”，要的是可负担的投资！

准备事宜: 理性购买你能力可以负担的房产。

10.
不要纠结于那五到十千的小钱，如果你真心想要成交这笔买卖。别因为小数目的讨价还价而因小失大。

准备事宜:
设定自己的合理价格范围，而不是定价！

11.
不要人云亦云，你须要拥有自己的观点。否则， 交易失败时就不要怪罪任何人。

准备事宜: 一定要自己做足功课！投资是没有捷径的。

12.
不要吝啬于律师费。寻找适合你的好律师，并支付他们合理的费用。如果你想在房地产长期投资，让他们成为你的长期合作伙伴。

准备事宜: 向有经验的投资人请教和获取可靠的律师联系。

13.
选择房产时不要迷信于数字，如八或四。面向北方和南方的四号单位或许比面向西边的八号单位更有价值。

准备事宜: 不要因为迷信而付出高于单位的溢价。确保你支付的价格不会使你的单位以后失去竞争力。

14.
不要期望发展商给予完美的质量，尤其是作为出租用途。一直等待开发商完美的修复，无形中也在耗费你的金钱。

准备事宜: 多结交从事房屋修复的朋友或许可以更有效的处理单位的瑕疵。 责骂，大叫，抱怨都于事无补。投资重要的是快和准。最重要的是尽快完成房屋修复和装修然后出租.

15.
不要相信保证租金回报方案。一个好的交易和屋业是不需要此优惠来刺激销售的。

准备事宜: 研究并找出物业的”实际”价值。大多数时候，你会惊讶，是你在支付保证租金给自己。

16.
不要因为很多人买而买。更不要因为听信无根据的消息极力推崇而买。一个极好的项目，特别是由政府发起的大型项目，大多数需要较长的时间来实现。如果政府说它是10年，你最好把它作为15-20年来实现，确保你有能力长期持有。

准备事宜: 考量经济基本面，了解需求和供应。

17.
不要受情绪的影响而购买. 休息一下，走出销售厅，呼吸一些新鲜的空气。千万别再销售厅里做决定。

准备事宜: 你可以去销售厅很多次，但最好在进入销售厅前作出决定再刷卡或签署你的支票。

18.
不要因为自尊心作祟或试图和朋友比较而购买。一个优质的投资者应该重质不重量。

准备事宜: 了解自己的财务状况，月供金额和负担能力。

19.
不要相信捷运发展的大肆宣传，除非经过验证。

准备事宜: 请随时核实新闻，最好可以看到招标公告！我们预计2021年，MRT3捷运都可能还在于政府的畅谈中。

20.
不要低估学生和商业租赁，即使他们提供较低的租金。在多数情况下他们缴交租金比一些狡猾的租户来得准时。因为马来西亚没有全国住户验证数据库，不要盲目的追崇高租金回报。

准备事宜: 找一个好的房产经纪来筛选并确保所有的文件有法律效应。

21.
如果房客准时付款，并照顾好你的单位，那就不要随意提高租金。

准备事宜:了解市场情况，你的产业附近地段的需求和供应量。

22.
不要完全相信房地产论坛的评估，他们大部份有自己的议程和推销或诋毁某些发展或开发商。如今有素质的讨论平台少之又少。

准备事宜: 取用不同来源的信息。

23.
不要随意反悔你最终出售或购买的决定。否则没有人会再为你服务。投资总是要秉持一言千斤思维。

准备事宜: 做好决定才下定金。

24.
不要因为你的房产成交价低于市场价格而太高兴。如意算盘别打得太早。

准备事宜: 检查市场价值

25.
不要忘记毎个地段中的“黄金地段”。不是所有高需求区域如TTDI或SS2的地段都是好的。即使是在KLCC双子塔周围的物业也有不一样的流动性和价格。

准备事宜: 分析每一地段的租金和需求量。你会看到显著的差异。

26.
不要被疯狂的优惠配套而误导。免费车？免费旅游？真的吗？与其送赠品不如确保你可以得到同等的现金折扣。现金永远是你最好的朋友。

准备事宜: 了解物业的实际价值。研究区域的市场价格。确保你支付正确的”溢价”。但这都取决于你的经验和事前工作准备.

27.
不要过度融资。超额的债务负担和还款压力将使你彻夜难眠。房地产投资应该是你的被动收入，而不是你每天的噩梦。

准备事宜:
询问房贷专员的专业意见，他们将为你评估贷款额度。千万别去询问房产大师！

28.
不要因为单位的外围景观而决定购买，尤其你不确定物业前空置土地的未来规划。选择向内或泳池视图的单位，以减轻以后外部前景风险。现有景观不是永远和一切。

准备事宜: 尝试谷歌搜索或咨询各地方当局都会对你有帮助。

29.
不要购买与许多房产仲介协商出售的房产。三思而后行。问自己，为什么他们不能自己执行销售工作？你难道不担心一个连自己营销部门都没有的开发商？他们对房地产业务是否认真？即使外聘房产仲介可能会降低开发成本，但市场部门都沒有的发展商，可靠吗？售后服务呢？

准备事宜: 找出开发商和什么房产仲介合作。询问他们原因。然后看它是否合乎逻辑。如果是”胡说八道”，那你可以考虑放弃这个项目。

30.
如果开发商仍然在出售建好了的单位，那很可能推出价格高估市价或供过于求。

准备事宜: 检查推出时的价格和了解该地段的需求和供应。

31.
不要相信”好东西不便宜，便宜的东西不好”的说法。这并不完全是正确的，特别是拍卖房产。你可能会发现很好的交易。

准备事宜:

锁定你想要的物业。关注市场价格和拍卖市场，当它达到你预想的目标价格即可立刻标下它。

32.
不要投资离你住宅超过50公里，或10区（国际标准= 1区等于5千米的弧度）的距离。装修和行程安排将花费你更多的时间和金钱。同时也不利你的租住单位的后期维护。

准备事宜: 置业前先上网查寻距离。

33.
不要太注重租赁或永久地契产权。在好的地区，租赁产权物业或许会优于未成熟地区的永久产权物业。

准备事宜: 了解市场价值

34.
不要听太多的房地产大师的意见而忘了自己做置业前的准备事宜。

准备事宜: Propcafe的标准是直少花200个小时研究每个项目。

35.
不要指望全部投资都将是你的摇钱树。市场有起有落，必有得失，一般情况长期的租金回报和资本增值都应达到收支平衡。

准备事宜:  研究微观和宏观经济因素，帮助理清思绪。

36.
不要试图在决策过程中询问太多的意见。你有你自己的标准，通常只有你知道什么最适合自己。

准备事宜: 尽量从多方面获取更多信息和资料，而不是意见。

37.
不要说服自己去投资一个自我假设的决定（我不能转售或出租的话，可以自住的房产）。这两者标准是不一样的。最好买一个以投资单一目标的房产，再通过转售和使用资本收益为自己购买自住房产。

准备事宜: 先决定购买房产的作用是投资或自住，才做适当的评估。

38.
不要只关注新的发展项目！投资预购住宅（发展商将尚未竣工的商品转售给承购者）能让你在两至三年后获取盈利。而购买二手市场的房产可能会让你通过租赁收入或转售获得直接的利润。所以，不要把自己只局限在开发商的预购项目。

准备事宜: 与信任的房产经纪建立良好的关系方便获取被低估的二手产业资讯。另外，你也可以在房产拍卖会上寻获好的屋业。

39.
疯狂的炒作会影响你正确的判断。不要因为他人购买而不假思索的去跟风。

准备事宜: 找出别人正在“
炒作”什么，并了解”释发”炒作的来源和相关人士沟通。

40.
不要以交通拥堵作为放弃购买物业的的标准。重交通区一直是大众市场的资本增值要点。

准备事宜: 不要只专注交通拥堵的状况，应多分析需求、供给和市场价值。

41.
不要跟随发展商的脚步。切记准则”地点，地点，地点”。知名开发商在未成熟区域的的项目可能比新开发商在成熟区域的项目差。

准备事宜: 研究新开发商的背景。确认知名开发商的项目合理价格。

42.
不要认为房地产旺盛期（2008-2012年）是一个十年的活动周期，这是千载难逢的，你无法预测。确认你选购的用途不是炒房而是中长期租金收入。

准备事宜: 时刻留意产业新周期的动向，并调整你的策略。

43.
不要难过和放弃。错过了一个好的交易不会让你更贫穷。

准备事宜: 及时更新房产信息。那么你就不会错过任何好物业。切记跟随我们的脸书！

44.
不要以为知名开发商必定会交出优质的房产。产品的最终质量主要取决于他们指定的承包商。许多开发商也只是一个”营销公司”，他们只是负责出售。保修期内的维修也一样。虽然开发商扮演了一个管理承包商的角色，但有时完工时还是会发现许多缺陷。

准备事宜: 记下主要的承包商的信息。考察完成的工程而不是预售楼的显示单位。

45.
不要以为所有的开发商都能像经济繁荣时交付完全优质的物业。当你向一个没有房产开发记录的发展商购买物业时，确保你彻查董事的背景和他们执行计划的能力。房地产蓬勃发展的时候，任何人都可以建造并售完。但当经济冲缓时，很多没有财政支援的新手开发商必定出现困难。尤其是没有经历过经济衰退的年轻公司负责人。

准备事宜: 查询 SSM information, 只花小费就能让你更了解发展商的背景和财政能力。

46.
如果你以炒房为投资意图，不要购买不愿意在市场营销上花费的房产项目，即便它是有信誉的老字号。市场买家已经改变，他们喜欢炒作和即时创建品牌。以旧的方式出售物业不会在短期内推高价格。这完全是基于投资炒房的角度。

准备事宜: 多阅读报纸和社交媒体。了解买房者的需求和想法。还是劝告勿炒作房产.

47.
别忘了房产的利润取决于当初买进的时机，而不是卖的时机。因为每个人都可以卖，买对了才就是成功的基础.

准备事宜: 投资者应该比别人提前做研究工作以获得”最有价值”的单位。当市场正在放缓 ，赢家和输家可能取决于价格和单位区别. 如果你不能控制外在因素， 那么你就应该好好准备和了解内在要求.

48.
永远不要有”只跟随十大知名发展商”的心态。这不适用于现在具有挑战性的房地产市场。即使是好的开发商也不断给予优惠的价格以出售商品。早期的买家可能遭受价格停滞不前或下跌的压力。

准备事宜:

请花至少200小时研究项目和相关地段。

49.
不要向非法高利贷借钱或刷信用卡购买物业。房产的资本升值是不可能超越这些信贷机构收取的利息。不要自以为聪明，可以使用一个更便宜的基金或作出比这笔资金更高的回报。当形势不如预期，它将带来巨大的损失。

准备事宜: 做好理财规划，如果你负担不起，就不要把自己陷入困境。

50.
不要在房地产展销会上购买物业（尤其是土著展销会），大部分参与的开发商都是为了清除滞销的商品。如果是一个好的房地产项目，他们都会在发布时或短期内一扫而空，无需等待展销会继续推销商品。

准备事宜: 出席房地产展销会可以收集信息和理解在市场上滞销的商品。房地产展销会是一个好地方让你知道更多产业，而不是购买更多产业。

A2. 投资用途（共管式公寓分析）

51.
不要忘记物业的周围景观只是短暂的，特别是在一个未成熟的区域。高的楼层并不意味着什么，下一个新建的公寓随时可能建得比你更高。

准备事宜: 实际考察地点和咨询相关地方机构。

52.
不同的布局和规模的公寓会影响物业的流动性。公寓面积大于2000平方的一般在转售市场是非常缺乏流动性。昂贵的价格将缺乏大众购买的市场。

准备事宜: 不要只看每平方英尺的价格，必须看绝对价格（absolute price，最终定价）。

53
. 不要太沉浸于象征吉隆坡的双峰塔（KLCC）傲人景观，特别是购买投资性质的房产。开发商的溢价通常不值得这额外的花费。

准备事宜: 在溢价和景观中取得平衡。如果景观是市场竞争中重要的元素，那选择合理的”中高档”单位而不是”疯狂加价”的高单位。

54.
不要太过着迷于建筑的外表，而忽略投资的基本面、租赁需求和物业的位置。

准备事宜: 复习房地产投资基础。阅读这篇文章一定会对你有帮助的!

55.
不要买“可负担住宅”作为投资目的，因为产品的差异性很小，在销售期上也有限制。

准备事宜: 可负担住宅是给低收入群者。作为一个有道德的投资者，你可到别处去赚钱。不需做研究，跳过它!

56.
不要购买高层向内部景观的单位，溢价是不值得的。

准备事宜: 如果你不想你的单位最终面对窗户/墙/阳台，记得询问发展商建筑物之间的距离!

57.
不要买郊区的小户型房子，如家庭式办公室（soho). 仅因为较低的入门价格是不正确的投资或购屋准则。

准备事宜: 研究各市场的供求和差价，包括有地房产，共管式公寓，小户型房子（soho,sofo etc)。如果差别不多，就忘了这类型的小户型多用途产业。

58.
最好不要投资高密度的公寓. 虽然这意味着转化为较低进场价格但通常也限制其收益. 因为潜在买家有很多其他低密度公寓的选择。

准备事宜: 考察拥有超过1000个单位的完成项目。你就会了解为什么。

59.
如果你期望你的物业节节攀升，就不要广意的考虑区域位置，例如，双峰塔周围（KLCC）的物业，单位的位置必须要在主要道路或至少建筑物在主要道路上可见。而不是一些隐藏的巷子或背街小巷。

准备事宜: 背街小巷是不符双峰塔（KLCC）的标签。如果你很难在城市主要道路找到它，那就忘了吧!

60.
不要购买向着电缆的单位。即便你不介意，很多买家也会借此机会压低你的单位售价。

准备事宜: 现场考察！如果你坚持要买它，确保有有很大的折扣。

61.
不要购买设计太过前卫或复杂的物业。美丽的东西通常很难保养。即使可以保养，维护费用也会很高。一些建筑商可能无法完成有艺术感的前卫设计概念或偷工减料来节省预算成本。

准备事宜: 查看建筑商以前完成的项目。如果他们不曾建筑这类型前卫或复杂的设计，请降低对完成品的期盼。

62.
不要支付过高的附加价格于综合购物中心的公寓。尤其购物中心的单位是分契式所有权（Strata Title）出售，而不是由一个有信誉的零售销售团队管理。

准备事宜:  检查在该地区对购物中心的需求和它的可持续发展性。如果没有具体计划或策略性商家在购物中心的合作，那商场里店铺的出租率一般会比较低。

63.
不要忘记装修的成本和时间。最好是购买配有厨房和空调的单位以减少安置成本。尽量在出租之前减少你实际现金的支出。

准备事宜: 计算购买”空屋”的成本。空屋造成的机会成本(Opportunity Cost)可能会很高。另外，你需要时间安排木工提供必要的厨房橱柜或家具。

PROPCAFE™ Guide: 房购宝典 – 购买房产时的120 个“不” – Part 2

PROPCAFE 又回来了！不管是投资或房购自用，MCO空闲期间是增进房产知识的最好时机。做好准备就不会在机会降临时错过了好糠头。这是PROPCAFE 房购宝典的第二部分. 如果您想了解第一部分的指南，可以参阅
此链接。

A3.
投资用途（有地住宅分析）

64.
不要购买住宅面向T字形三岔路口（T junction ）交界处和衔接它的出口道路，因为它将很难出售。

准备事宜
:
 全面检查发展计划和方向。如果可以的话，最好检查一下建筑架构方案。

65.
不要因为角落单位附带大片的空地而购买伦此单位，它通常不会大幅增加你的资产价值。而且昂贵的价格使有意购买者却步。

准备事宜
:
衡量空地每平方英尺的价格来确认是否比其他角落单位更值得。

66.
不要等待。从投资的角度分析，应该在大项目发展的初起阶段购买物业。基于通胀（inflation）的因素推动下，发展商未来阶段推出的价格应该不会比早期低。当然你必须对发展商有信心和相信它的执行能力。

准备事宜
:

如果需要许多阶段来完成庞大的土地开发，那你得确保开发商有足够的信誉（具有较强的财务能力）来完成它。

B1.
自住用途（综合观察
)

67.
不要选择面向西边或东边的有地房产。通常需要更长的时间来转售。时间就是金钱。当然有些人会因其风水论述而买但并不是大部分买家。

准备事宜
:

方向是投资有地住宅首要检查的事。

68.
不要买那些接近污水池的项目。虽然部分先进污水池是没臭味的，但在某种程度上会影响资产的价格升值。

准备事宜
:
实地考察。看它，闻它。

69.
不要以为”不受欢迎的外国人”或学生不会是你有地房产的邻居. 即使目前没有任何迹象（除了靠近大专学府），当市场是放缓时，投资者可以绝望而将无论多么奢华或高端的物业租给这群租客.

准备事宜
:
了解该区域的人口统计并向公寓管理层探风。其余的都不在你的控制范围。

70.
不要过于期盼发展商附带宽频服务的承诺。即使交接了物业，在一般情况下，电讯公司都需要几个月来建立基础设施。

准备事宜
:
如果你非常重视这项服务，或者计划提前搬进去住，那你最好事先检查物业附近的光纤基础设施。现今的开发商一般使用二级宽频服务提供商，因为他们更热衷于扩大业务。

71.
不要以为你的楼房周围不会出现什么变化。如果你的物业座落在主要道路旁，小心它可能有面向高速公路或捷运/地铁轨道的风险。

准备事宜
:
咨询地方委员会和任何发展当地计划的相关单位。

72.
购买住宅时不要只考量现今的状况，应该考虑未来生活可能出现的变化。比方说家庭成员增加或需要照顾年迈的父母. 生命中唯一不变的是”不断的变化”。

准备事宜
:

做好长期的规划，特别是购买正在兴建的新物业。

73.
不要购买没有足够空间放入特大号双人床的主卧室。年龄老化、打鼾声和身体的横向扩展将使你和伴侣在小床上睡得不舒服（对有些人来说，这是是很重要的，哈哈！）。除此之外，其他原因如安置婴儿床、添加衣橱柜等，都需要额外足够的空间.

准备事宜
: 向发展商确定
主卧室的尺寸和面积大小。

74.
不要或尽量避开购买物业旁有其他正在建设的项目，它会带来的噪音和粉尘污染，也可能的破坏治安。当然，如果你很喜欢这个地方，那这个问题是次要的，你可以忽略它。

准备事宜
:
实地考察和咨询地方委员会关于建筑物旁空地的发展。

75.
不要购买离父母或岳父岳母家太远的屋子。否则，长途的驾驶时间将影响家庭聚会或应对紧急情况时的不便。

准备事宜
:
衡量居住在父母附近和维护隐私的需要。有些人更倾向于保持一定的距离以维持良好的关系。两者皆适用。

76.
不要完全相信销售代理所说的论述. 数据是不会说谎，所以做你的研究，相信你的直觉和事实。

准备事宜
:
上网核对所有的信息，并询问其他房地产投资者具体的相关问题。千万别只问这个项目是否是个好的楼盘，这是一个垃圾和毫无意义的问题！

77.
不要完全相信预售图的艺术效果。绘画你的完美梦想家园是他们完成交易的方法。最好对预售图的艺术效果期望减半以免失望收场。

准备事宜
: 核对
发展商过去完成的项目和宣传册子里的艺术图。

78.
不要和你的女朋友、男朋友或亲戚联名购买房产，以避免未来关系变化的纠纷。

准备事宜
:
 如果你真的计划那样实行，记得做好最坏的打算，白纸黑字写下合约.

79.
不要购买太靠近河流或系水湖的房产，以避免水灾或排水沟停滞的问题。同时，系水湖也可能是蚊子滋生地。

准备事宜
:
实地考察！实地考察！实地考察！

80.
不要让风水大师为你选择房产。你是住在那里的人，不是他。只是有你才会感觉屋里的气场的舒适感. 当然如果为了安心而做些风水修整是没问题的.

准备事宜
:
走进单位，感受它。所有的人都有特殊的才能。当你进入这个单位，你就会知道它是否适合你。省了风水师的费用，拿来改造房子好了！

81.
在获得银行贷款之前，不要签署任何买卖合约。不管销售经纪给你什么承诺，如无义务取消合约等。（除非你打算用现金购买）

准备事宜
:
如果你怀疑自己的负担能力，你可向3家银行申请贷款。贷款前尽可能事先检查。多结交从事房贷销售的朋友。

82.
不要等到房价下跌才购买房产。试着让自己有随时购买的能力，然后把价格压低。等待房价下降和有能力把房价压低是有区别。

准备事宜
:
关注你有兴趣的房产价格以了解市价，而不是守株待兔。

83.
不要指望奇迹会发生在一个崭新的城镇能在短期内拥有足够的人口和设施。新城镇一般需要约至少十年的时间才能成熟并充满生气！

准备事宜
:
了解新城镇的发展总规划和开发商的计划。另外，在开发商的计划再加上另5到7年的等待。

84
.
如果你连10%的头期都付不起，而且还需要发展商提供零头期或分期付款的方式，那你就不用想买房地产了。即便有家人的帮助，错误估计负担能力，往后的日子也会很辛苦。财务危机随时发生。

准备事宜
:
充分了解自己的财务能力。如果父母（
FAMA）帮忙首期，
确保拥有可以应付房产的期供期。

85.
不管市价下跌多少，不要购买那些有闹鬼、谋杀或自杀的住宅。特别是那些不敢看恐怖鬼故事电影的人！哈！

准备事宜
:
对你打算购买的物业上网搜索（关键词如鬼，闹鬼，谋杀事件等）.

86.
如果你打算购买住宅以组织家庭，那就不要完全自己做决定。让你的妻子参与决定。幸福的妻子是男人幸福生活的开始。

准备事宜
:
带她去看房子或预售厅。确保屋子符合她理想的家园。再次确认她可以接受开放式厨房(如果没有湿厨房），卧室和客厅的大小。

87.
不要忽略家庭计划,如果你计划在不久的将来有孩子（比方说2年之内）。确保你寻找大小合适的住宅，而不是等事情发生以后再寻找新的住所。在短暂的时间内重新安置你的家庭一般上是件件很压力的事情。

准备事宜
:
家庭计划!

88.
不要等待示范单位展出才决定来买房子。它很多时候会比早期推出的价格高很多。

准备事宜
:
学习如何利用模型视觉化设想房屋布局和规模。多参观完成的房产项目以学习此技能。

89.
不要过分期盼宣传视频，小册子，设计规划和显示单位呈现的艺术效果，但忽略了追踪开发商之前的纪录是否信守承诺。

准备事宜
:
实地考察发展商过去完成的项目。

90.
不要买临近清真寺、寺庙或教堂的住宅。如果你不能忍受噪声、塞车、非法泊车和在特定的时间拥挤的人群，那就别碰这些房子.

准备事宜
:
亲临现场”测试”你的容忍度。

91.
不要期待完美的屋子。每个屋子都会有一些不完美的地方。业主应该运用装修经验把负能量转化为正能量。

准备事宜
:
购买自住房产，千万不要急着做决定。多参观几次，如果你发现你越去越不喜欢，这就意味着你应该去找其他的单位了.

92.
不要低估高速公路或主要大道的噪声和尘埃污染。这并不是每个人都能长期承受的。

准备事宜
:
亲临现场”测试”你的容忍度

93.
不要只看宣传册子里提到的距离和行驶时间。购买自住房产时，确保附近有足够的便利设施，而不是连吃个早餐都需要驾驶十到十五分钟。生命是短暂的，好好的利用它。

准备事宜
:

没什么比实际考察更重要。如果你连视察时都受不了，更不用说每天重复一样的生活。

94.
不要盲目和过于兴奋地购买新的”家”。确保平面图的布局规划符合你的要求，而不是等待正式交屋后才再进行大改造。它会增加很大的装置成本。

准备事宜
:
如果真的有装修的必要，在做出决定前，确保你己多方面估计装修成本。如果你在近期打算转售或租赁，大幅改造是不需要的. 它不会使你的房产增值。你的品味也不一定适合大众市场。

B2.
自住用途（共管式公寓分析）

95.
不要忽略厨房通风设计的需要。避免厨房没有窗户的单位！

准备事宜
:
检查单位的平面图！

96.
不要买没有院子或阳台的单位. 不然以后洗衣物和物件管理都会是场噩梦. 更不用说这会造成部分吸烟者在封闭的环境吸烟并乱丢烟头。

准备事宜
:
自住的单位当然是选有阳台的，这是不用思考的问题。

97.
不要买公寓和停车场分开的住宅。把你日常购物的商品从停车场拿到你的住处是很累的，尤其中间有许多桥梁和通道。

准备事宜
:
尝试问自己你一天可以重复做多少次，更不要说你突然想到你有东西留在车里（当你已经在第四十层走廊了！）

98.
不要购买没有停车场或只有一个停车位的中型住宅。不是所有的物业都如双峰塔（KLCC）区域，KLCC 租户较少关注停车位的问题。我国平均每户家庭都拥有超过一辆以上的汽车。否则，最终没停车位的车子会停放在公寓外，而这必然增加了安全风险，尤其是每天到外取车的女性。

准备事宜
:
了解自己位车位的需要！

99.
如果你的经济能力只能勉强负担或不喜欢支付维修费用，就不要购买过高维护费的公寓。它通常涉及到超低密度的项目或一堆不常用到的高级设施的公寓。一旦退休后，维护费很快会“吃掉”你的储蓄。购买前先衡量自己的经济负担能力。

准备事宜
:

家园，意味着你会长期居住的地方。以每年10%的通货膨胀率预算。计算好后才决定。

100.
如果你不能忍受走廊或屋子有怪味，就不要购买没有湿厨房或连露天院子都没有了的单位。尤其你是个不能忍受每天煮油炸食物的邻居。不是毎户都有完善的排气通风系统。

准备事宜
:
了解项目设计的缺点和你对此问题的容忍程度。

101.
不要以为所有单位的窗户都可以打开！尽量避免那些完全密封的窗户和依赖空调来通风的建筑物，因为一旦空调坏了，你的屋子就热气逼人。更不用说长期吸入循环空气细菌的健康风险.

准备事宜
:
和发展商确认单位的格局再核对册子上提到的规格。

102.
不要以为很多设施就代表很好！如果公寓提供了两个或三个游泳池和其他过份的设施，它通常意味着你将要支付不必要的费用和更高的维护费。

准备事宜
:
看看拥有这些设施的房子和了解它们的维护费。和这些公寓的联合管理机构成员多了解状况。

103.
不要忽视卫生间的重要。如果你经常有客人拜访，确保你购买的单位隔开客人专用的卫生间或而不是让客人使用卧室的卫生间（骄傲地展示你的”卧室场景”）. 通常女佣的浴室也不适合让客人使用。

准备事宜
:
检查单位的格局和了解自己需求。

104.
即使官理层不准并不代表没有人会在公寓阳台上晒衣服。这是马来西亚！

准备事宜
: 其实
没有什么可以做的. 除非你是或将是联合管理机构的主席去制定最令人讨厌的罚款条规（成为大家的公敌）。

105.
不要假设公寓不能养宠物。马来西亚人爱宠物！要知道房子的管理规则也是可以更改的。

准备事宜
:

至少检查了
DMC
上的任何声明。虽然不能确保未来的联合机构管理层会不会更改条约， 但这是你唯一可做的。

106.
不要忘了选择物业时考量空间经验法则。如果一个人住，要求至少500平方呎的空间。如果是两个人就1000平方。太小的空间，是很长久居住的。

准备事宜
:
尝试寄宿500平方呎的单位。如果你认为你能忍受长期的的居住。那就去吧！

107.
不要以为你会充分利用公寓里的体育设施和放弃你在外的健身房会员。健身需要陪伴。一个人在空荡荡健身房独做是毫无乐趣和不会持续的。

准备事宜
:
到处问问确认这说法吧。哈哈！

108.
不要以为住在越高的楼层，景观就越好（通常不需要）。当电梯出现故障，你需要更多的耐心，还有你超强的壮腿。

准备事宜
:
衡量景观和实践。不幸的是，马来西亚服务质量有时可能会很糟糕的。

B3.
自住用途（有地住宅分析）

109.
不要相信发展商可建立另一个”DESA parkcity”相似景观环境的推销。没有多少个发展商（即便是有信誉的）可以打造如DESA parkcity 外囯式景观和环境，更不用说保持它。

准备事宜
:
 走访发展商过去的项目。眼凭为证。

110.
不要购买厨房不在低楼或近入口的物业。这对家庭主妇不实用。

准备事宜
:

检查房屋的格局，再问你太太。

111.
如果你将过四十岁大关，就不要购买一个3层楼的有地住宅。尤其主卧室在顶楼，长期反复地走3段楼梯对老化的膝盖不佳。最后，你极有可能会睡在低楼的客人卧室！

准备事宜
:
尝试走走在展示单元上的楼梯。在三十分钟里做5次。然后休息一下，想一想。

112.
 不要认为个人主权 围篱 护卫管理 （Fenced and Guarded – individual title) 等同于阶层地契屋权的管理 （Gated and guarded strata title）F&G 项目 是不能限制屋主装修. 即使项目变成了彩虹🌈漆家园，你也不能做些什么. 你的邻居可能会把整座房子变成迪士尼的粉红色或拆除整个单位，让它成为”有特色的”邻居. 不幸的是，监管委员一般对个别地契重新粉刷和装修没有很严格。

准备事宜
:

向发展商提出该问的问题，分层地契或个别地契。不是只问有没有围墙或警卫室。

113.
不要相信发展商说清真寺会在二十年以后才建在你项目的周围 （少穆士林居民区域）。记住，如果地方议会已经决定用拨款建设清真寺或学校，发展商是不能阻止的。

准备事宜
:
 查询
整体规划的方案和
当地议会。

114.
购买在新的城镇，不要忘了了解整体规划的方案。确保开发商同时建造第一期住宅和商业设施。那么当你的房屋建好时，周边的商业活动也同时进行。部分的开发商，会等到有一定的人口才开始建立商业设施。一到两个的小吃档不会使正个新城镇蓬勃起来。

准备事宜
:
走访并四处观察。

115.
不要只看房屋的示范模型。尤其排屋，确保汽车门廊可以停放至少2辆汽车，而不是前后纵列的。如果必须前后纵列或只能容得下一辆车的门廊，大多数房屋业主会将汽车停放在路边或可能造成邻居占据这些路边的街道空间而争吵。也有一些开发商故意修建街道缘石，以阻止业主到街道停车。最后所有的汽车将到处停放在街道上，路面变得狭窄，增加使用者人不必要的风险。

准备事宜
:
检查汽车门廊的宽度和长度 和柱子的位置。

116.
不要只考虑房子，而忽略了安全。选择面积较小附有保安防护的房屋绝对比房屋面积大却没保全来得明智。以马来西亚的犯罪率来衡量，这决定绝对会让你的家人更安心。

准备事宜
:
检查开发展商提供的安全防卫设施。

117.
如果发展商过去没有好的纪录，就不要以为它会建立一个好的警卫室或在后期改变更好的设施和景观，即便是接近一百万元的房产。

准备事宜
:
参观发展商过去完成项目的警卫室。

118.
不要在家里建造私人游泳池，并希望提高物业的价格。马来西亚人喜欢游泳池，但不是在自己的后院和自行交维护费。

准备事宜
:
想一想是否有必要拥有私人游泳池，特别是在你的社区里己有游泳池设施

119.
不要购买在第一或第二层楼有超级大阳台的有地物业，或者是能举办派对的屋顶花园。由于马来西亚的天气和大多数本地人的生活方式的，它最终将没有完全被善用。屋顶花园的保养也很麻烦，除非你喜欢园艺，并愿意投入时间和精力。

准备事宜
:
拜访你朋友的家就知道真相。

120.
购买没有保安防护的排屋时，不要买隔壁链接街角房（ corner lot ）的单位。它可能变成学校或幼儿园。这不仅是嘈杂，接送时间的交通更是一场噩梦。

准备事宜
:
明智的选择你的单位。
