Its the Bajet 2014 so I believe its effective Jan 1st 2014.That's usually the case. There may eb a rush to secure properties below 1M for long term buyers buying for own stay, so till end of the year the 500K to 999K bracket may do well.

Presently the special zone is exempted from the minimum 500K purchase for foreigners so I feel its likely that will be maintained, they wouldnt want to scare off foreigners completely.

In MY it usually is effective even for those properties bought earlier, with regards to RGPT , so I think its yes to question 1. But as for question 2, I doubt properties already purchased under this scheme will be affected.However it may be prudent to check with your lawyer, or developers and...

I agree as overall building materials and other costs will go up. But properties below 1M except those in Medini and special zones where foreigners can buy at any price, may not do as well. I think the abv 1M bracket may do better now as foreigenrs are forced to up their budget if they want to...

I would advise you to make a list of the basic things you need to do e.g kitchen then explore the various options, also have a budget in mind so you know the total you want to spend. Then you can choose where to spend more and where to cut. Do be aware though that sometimes the cheaper option...

You're right, SP Setia gives a discout to offset the 10% so buyers need very little cash to make a booking. I agree too that BI has already made it, and for a family, its unbeatable.Singapoeans and Malaysians like it as all the amanities are there , its very livable. I too prefer it over other...

I think it depends on what scale and the materials you choose.There are cheaper and more expensive options for everything from grilles to kitchens.Sometimes one option can be as much as double the price. Also price takes into account location and when you buy but the size of 2 houses may be the...

Thanks. Since you've done it we can benefit from your experience !

I was told Keck Seng in Nusa Bestari carries both the pump and teh storage heaters, so am going to make enquiries next week. Btw, they also install.I suspect central pump may be better but we have to find out.

I feel price is a factor. Which one is a better buy price wise considering one has better location and is FH? Also , 318sqft is pretty small. If you're buying to just lease as hotel suite ok, but even for hotel suite 318sqft is not luxurious, it will be quite cramped for a suite.

If things go wrong as in CRASH, in SG you can run but you can't hide so you may have to jump! But in MY, can run and also hide, in fact can even escape via Thailand....so its like 'limited liability' and can make a comeback or at least there are ways to in Boleh land.

Is this a central pump for the whole house? If we fix a central pump can we get water heaters without pumps?

Wow! That is a huge price increase in one year considering they were selling the semi-ds which are bigger houses with bigger land in the D'Grande precinct ( Perla and Prado)at only 1.22M onwards last year. I wonder if they can sell at abv 1.5M, seems pretty high to me.

Wow! So how much is the quantum?

Thanks we will likely get a mix. My hubby is very keen on KDK so likely will get that for living and master. Guest room , study, I may get something else.Must go take a look at Lion Lighting. Btw Emart has KDK but oly one design, white, 4 blades 54 inches. Price is $445 but very old fashioned...

Even in strata some renegade owners will push the limits and break the rules, make changes without approval. It happened in one development here where my friend's house was afefcted as her neighbour actually put up a fencing on the common shared wall. All the management did was to send him a...

Link bungalows for some reason many not occupied, dont know why. Maybe they bought for investment and just leave it empty. Owners with deep pockets prefer to leave it vacant rather than go through hassle of renting out, especially as landed rental not that high. In this precinct its abt 6K I...

I was just sharing abt my experience in SG and why it doesnt do as well as normal landed here. The price increase has been marginal compared to normal landed. In at least 2 developments I know, it has barely gone up relative to 2007 high and in fact during subprime, sank faster and lower. Goes...

D'Grande is near the water tank, just behind the big plot of land they are building Sky Breeze on.Its the so-called "Luxury Precinct " in BI. Lower density, bigger houses and land.That's what Setia staff told me.
