Hey Euphony, welcome to BWV I am just a stone's throw from 29ers.
Year of Tiger Just like me... I like....Regal....
Yeah i cant believe how the price shot up at ST. I just could not believe it. Sometimes i wonder is this price hike justified?
Alexandra DCube is a nice design. Yeah i am in Alexandra Avenue.
The concept of Setia Eco Gardens was fantastic. It is designed along the lines of Setia Eco Park in KL.
Hi Prof,
Yup, dead giveaway.. born in 74..
I thought most guys will have abbreviations like HH, EL, LH & ST.. (yup.. ST for Setia Tropika)
Though SEG sounds more short form for segamat than Setia Eco Gardens..
Cathy is right.. (Mezzo for the double storey garage homes)
Eco Garden is riding on the success of Eco Park using the similar concept, they say that ard 11% of the entire development will be occupied by greens hence the eco garden theme..
Initially wanted to get dictyo rave but its sold out for foreigners, Alexandre d_cube is more expensive than the available units in SEG then..
Hi everyone here
I've been struggling to read the whole thread and i suppose i've done maybe only 10% of it. It's really long but really nice read. Thanks to Wuqi for starting such a great thread here. Really appreciate that you spent the time and effort to contribute so much over here.
I've stayed overseas for many years before heading back to Sinkeland for the last 4 years plus and I think it has sucked a lot of my energy out also my blood as well! I'm a bit sick and tired of their nonsense. I long missed the space I have enjoyed overseas.
I only need half that size to build a dream home. I do not like the designs at HH, I like the idea at LF but not allowed to alter a lot of stuff. I would really love to design and build a nice home. It's hard work but it's memory of a life time.
Anyway I have a question that has pondering in my mind, Ledang heights land 20,000 sq ft. Has anyone or would it be possible to buy and only utilize half the land and sell off this other half or split it with someone?
Looking forward to hear from all the bros and experts here. I'm open to all positive and negative critics on how possible it would be to acheive this.
Warmest regards
BFF
Hi Rhino,
Are you sure LH land minimum 1 mil? I just bought a land in LH complete with a 5+1 room bungalow for only 1.3 mil, and a friend of mine bought his for 1.2 mil. Don't just compare land price as it is, but check its size also (psf).
I surveyed LF myself few times before LH, almost bought a house there. Although LF general maintenance of its environment and overall estate is much better compared to LH, I decided to not go for LF due to its strata land status compared to LH clear freehold status. This is in addition to the access road, coz for people like me who go to work in Singapore every day the short time taken to reach CIQ from home is important.
Another factor is the facilities development around Lh and EL area, esp with the Anjung shopping complex up & ready, plus a huge supermarket opening before end of the year. A convenience indeed.
Just my 2 cent worth. Others and I can give our views, but the end of the day, listen to your heart. Best luck on whichever choice you'll make.
Talking about Buy land and build...
My neighbour at ST bought a corner lot. HE then demolished greater than 70% of his structure and had it rebuilt as per his style.
My gosh.... What a waste i thought?
But who am i to question?
Right?
He altered almost everything in his home.
He could have just bought land and built a fresh new bungalow on it.
HE could have possibly got bigger land, cheaper price and could have built a palace as well.
Hi the rental in EL and HH Semi-Ds ( SD ) range from RM 5000 to RM 13000. I got a feeling that since the beginning of the year, two main factors have pushed up the sale/rental price and is still pushing.
1) The Spore government rule on 60% loan for 2nd property onwards have caused many investors to look into Nusajaya.
2) The Staits Time article which has prompted many people with a little itch to move to JB have spurred them to Horizon Hills, EL etc.
I am waiting for Malaysia government to change the rule again and allow us to get a 80-90% loan for our 3rd investment on houses. Then many will push up the prices further.
I had a couple of people questioning me thus:
1) If you want to buy in JB why dun you buy in Spore? Spore better what? So convenient
2) IF you want to invest in JB, why JB? No better place to invest ah? Spore is still the best place to invest!
3) What returns can you get in JB if ever? How long you must wait for your returns? In Spore in less than a year can see capital appreciation?
4)Aiyo JB change rules all the time. Spore more consistent
for me i bought me it maybe to retire or maybe to escape out of Spore and spend time with my precious family. If i was in spore even during the weekends i would be working during the weekends as well... So this IM home has helped me put an end to the constant working.
I notice Alexandre D Cube is a lot less expensive per sq foot as compared to the rest on their website. Don't know whether its updated price or not. May I know how much have you bought it for?
Wuqi is it battery operated? LED or normal lights?
These days LED lights in fashion. But i really hate LEDs. I just like the plain old Edison Filament Lamps with their yellow lights. So majestic warm and romantic.
Anyway back to the sensor lights. How much do they cost Wuqi? I may need a couple of them.
Go for neither, go for local banks if you can, i think well of HSBC in SG but in JB, its Hi Sir, Buay Chye?
Some of their learned people told friends i introduced to them that foreigners cannot buy shops and
houses in Johore. Made some of my friends pissed off and myself very malu.
Their people frankly CMI. SCB is better but they offer Klibor mainly. I will go to other banks unless you are really keen on them.
We really don't need to go to banks we know in SG as the local banks here stand to lose more than you
Hi Cathy,
Not sure if your query is meant for AP instead since I am in SEG.
If my memory did not fail me, the quote given was ard 370K for Dcube while the i in got is ard 280K. Think website price is not accurate as you have to ask the sales executive to confirm.
I remember for the price of a 20x70 Setia Bukit Indah was more expensive than my unit which was 22x75. However these prices are indicative & back in Sep 2009.
Cheers
rm$499 if you want it concealed. this price include 1 keypad, 1 siren, 2 door contact and 1 motion sensor with installation. i got another motion sensor free as i manage to get 3 ball dart on target. for cctv i suggest you install separately. CCTV must be for you too see at any time via mobile phone or laptop. ADT will monitor for you via alarm from door contact, motion sensor. If they call you to verify an alarm, you may go and view your CCTV
Hi echanbonfire01 / ginfreely ,
I signed up for the 3 yrs contract (+RM299) and took up the 'Home Saver 3' package (+RM1500). Include the following
1 smoke detector
1 GSM dialer (use sim card, thus no worry of tel line being cut-off)
1 outdoor siren
1 indoor siren
2 Keypad
12 contact points (vibration/contact sensors)
1 motion sensor (for ground floor)
I add on these items (+about RM800) :
1 motion sensor (for 1st floor)
+15 contact points (RM 40 each pt)
One time payment of about RM2700.
No CCTV - understand that ADT doesn't provide.
Nusa Duta is really a very good proposition. The clusters are quite spacious. When i went there 2 months back there were 13 units left. In that sense the take-up is still slow, probably because it is not publicise very much. *Hidden Gem*
