HeyIR, as always, very thankful for your useful links. I think for many who are thinking of buying a place in Nusajaya, this blog has become a useful resource for them. The reasons for picking up a home in Johor have been compelling to say the least. For me, it was just too difficult to ignore.

HeyIR, as always, very thankful for your useful links. I think for many who are thinking of buying a place in Nusajaya, this blog has become a useful resource for them. The reasons for picking up a home in Johor have been compelling to say the least. For me, it was just too difficult to ignore.
I have an expat colleague who has been living there for a year and recently decided to purchase a semi d in EL. He told me he personally knows at least 15-20 expat families in EL andLH alone. Many more will be moving there soon over the next 12 months. All home owners and in high paying jobs. EL/pH/LH will be areas where there will be high concentration of expats.
this is good news for Johor. these big guys will be driving the consumption and demand .. though the johoreans dont necessarily benefit. its time the sleeping dragon of Johor wakes up and breathe fireee!!!
Hi Graveyard, I usually drive from River Valley Road and it takes me anywhere from 40 minutes to 1 Hour 15 minutes to East Ledang. Sometime I drive from my office, at the junction of Alexandra and Pasir Panjang Rd and it actually takes 5-10 minutes less due to direct access to AYE. I drive at speed limit, after getting a speeding ticket early in the year, just before Tuas on the way out.
The worst traffic delay I have experienced is on AYE around Clementi on my way in.
Hey IR, I can confirm your travel time as it takes the same time for my expat colleague to get to work. He stays in EL and work place is in town.
I can't agree more! Apparently, the expats who are living in Johor are spreading the word to their friends in SG. Word of mouth is a powerful media. My colleague was joking that at the british club, he gets loads of questions about living in EL and all he wants is a quiet night to enjoy his beers!
yes one word of mouth works more effective than a one hour presentation by a real estate agent. Johor better manage this community well .. if not, word of mouth can also kill its golden goose

Keys will be collect starting mid Dec. Mine is on 17th Dec.
I have seen the iterior with a friend and he is in agreement with me that the quality by UEM is good. Kitchen comes with built-in cabinet. Living room comes with the standard white homogenous tiles. Bedroom flooring comes with parquet flooring. Bathroom with tiles to ceiling height just like EL. The condo that I saw in Medini tiling at the toilet is not up to ceiling height.
Basically just need to put in the wardrobe, the air-con, the lightings, the curtains, the painting and any ID, and the furniture then the unit is good to move in.
As the building is not surrounded by highrise except for the Impiana next door, the whole place is windy and with good view from the top floor.
It comes with smallish swimming pool, 1 BBQ area, 1 gym room, 1 meeting room, 2 lounge areas at ground floor, 1 children games room and individual parking lot, cctv at every floor for security, it looks more like a service apartments. There is a management office and 1 drivers room to complete the service apartment requirements.
Before the Legoland hotel is ready, this would makes a very good short holiday get-away if visiting legoland, indoor theme parks or for those expats coming in for all the mega projects happening around this area.
Those owning the high floor is getting good deals as there is no additional 3 to 5 k for every floor higher then. So the early birds get the worm.
All,
1. What is "Borong F" ? UEM land staff seems to treat this document as the equivalent of sg' top, I think
2. Insist true that COF no longer is used, but CCC as the same as SG's TOP ?
3. Late delivery compensation, calculated from s&p date, till notice of taking possession date,..and cannot be used to offset purchase price. Only can be used to offset utilities deposit,.and 1st 4 months' service, conservancy & sinking fees,..which for Ujana, msian standards,..IS High
late delivery compensation will be mailed out by cheque,..in a few months' time,...no written undertaking is required",...
4. The rental relief at the sales promised during the beginning,..UEM land accounts not aware,..refer to marketing,..& marketing simply casually say, " oh we will pay you by cheque,..after a few months"
in a tida apak' attitude,....
Would anyone like to accompany me to view my unit, sometime next week ?
Thanks
Would the experts advise if this is standard practice ?

Ya, cos the road is good and drivable. The guard would let you pass as he cannot differentiate whether those driving a private car is just a member of public or the architect.
If got problem, then I would just put a hard hat and the PCK working boots and show the guard lor.
Somehow all these news of developments land acquisition in JB CBD reminds me of ...**drum rolls**... SG.
Executional and political risk will always be there, and how much SG allows Iskandar to succeed will also play a part...

Thanks for sharing.SG can sabotage by refusing to build the RTS. the way i see it, Msia has much more to gain from that than Spore.

Hello Everyone,
I am new to this forum . Been reading the threads so far and its quite informative and members mean serious property investing. I am just dipping my toes into property investment in Malaysia and researching about Nusajaya. Keen on Impiana, still some units left, but there are 4-bedders; quite large and I dunno if there is sufficient appeal there. Being such a large unit and (priced just over RM1mil) I am tempted to consider landed property, but they touch close to 2-million.

Just my 2 cents worth.
Impiana is a UEM product and from my experience should be a good end product as compared to condo by other developer. 2 years back when I decided to gasak the Ujana unit, it is like the lower floor available but I went ahead anyway and today this has turn up well after 2 years and now it is ready and I think it is not a bad decision looking back.
As with investment, we are always speaking of current market valuation, you just have to make comparision with current market valuation of surrounding and comparable project to decide whether you are ok with the price.
I recently check out the new condo launch at Medini and they are alredy selling at $600 psf with 99 years lease. So newer projects are already selling at prices that factors in all the new mega project development. Impiana could be still at old prices with some increase.
I think the most important consideration is whether the unit that are available meets your requirements and preferences.
Also buy within your means and if the rental does not works out, you can always use for your own use and rent out your Singapore property.

Thanks Kopikong 99.
Ideally I would have preferred a two- three bedder. Target for rental with students and staff from Educity. Mine is 4 bedroom, target population would be families I guess,,, which rather prefer a landed property .. Yeah I am suprise myself that impiana remains lower on price per sqf compared to new developments in medini and puteri harbor which have surpassed RM 1000 per sqf.

Thanks for the update. I am buying it purely for investment. I am a malaysian residing in Australia, but have long term plans of returning to Singapore.
I gather the next phase, Nusajaya west ; UEM is targetting mid range development , sub 1-million as demand is projected in that category.
Anyway, its a big step for me. I find the property in Malaysia and in Asia in general is just not regulated enough, many 'ifs' and factors to take into account for. Less stressful buying a property in Aus.
