Living in JB

[arsenal]

Hi Teck,
800k definitely possible. Check Iproperty.com.my for some fully furnished resales. LF also have fully furnished terrace selling at 600++.. If you read the thread further, you can see you can buy a 500k landed at decent guarded place plus 100k renovation...

Hi everyone,

I have finally found a place where people discuss making the move to JB, and I must thank everyone here for sharing their knowledge and experience.

I have only very recently considered making the move over myself (in fact simply on my way back from KL by coach just last week), uprooting my wife and young child to a whole new, and hopefully better environment. And the more I think about it, and the more research I do with regards feasibility and
liveability of doing so, the more convinced I am that it should be done, about now in fact!

However, I haven't actually been to Nusajaya myself, and of course it is not prudent to move to place one has never been to, especially since it is only a short drive away.

My wife and I have therefore decided to make a trip out there sometime in December to recce, so to speak. We'd have gone already, or go earlier if I wasn't having my ICT right now, and we have a short family holiday planned for shortly after.

I am hoping that we could find a few helpful souls who would be kind enough to take some time off to maybe meet us for a coffee in order to share thoughts on living there as well as answer some questions we have (actually we have many). This forum thread is great, but it's just not the same somehow.

I have too many questions to ask in a single forum post, so I guess I'll be breaking them down into individual enquiries as I go along.

For starters, if we do decide to make the move, we would be looking at the completing the move within 6 months or so. Having checked around with LF and HH, I assume our only hope of getting a place (we are probably considering a cluster unit I imagine) is from the resale market? At least that's the impression that I have now.

If that were the case, would a budget of 800k RM be adequate for something reasonably pleasant? Btw, that 800k would hopefully include the cost of renovation.

Thanks! And again, great to have found this place.

welcome teck, if you're in no hurry. visit the various developments spread over a couple of weeks to really get a feel, familiarize with the orientation, development blueprint, vicinity amenities, potential pros and cons, future developments, and the distance to either checkpoints etc.

Make a date with an LF or HH sales person. They'll even pay for the coffee!

hi sis,
The LF sales told me approx 2000 per year for a semi D for maintenance.. unless that exclude the cost for t he club house?

Oops sorry, rm950 per month is referring to the weekly house keeping., that's for watering, cutting grass, hedge plants, fertilizing, cleaning the internal house n pool maintenance too.

My sales never tell me abt free pinetree country club membership. Maybe it just for bungalow?

Check with them, tell them some owners got the letters saying so.

Sorry, think it should b referred to as "resort fees" instead. Other than this, need to pay quit rent yearly too

Very reasonable for 4 times in a month, I'm thinking to get the service too! Maybe cheaper for semi-d?

That is my bet..... Anyone know if it is the norms for developer in Malaysia to price property such as imperia at such a premium over the likes of 1 medini and Ujana@East Ledang?

Ujana pricing is a year old, a more apt comparison will be Crescent which is near to Ujana also by UEM. 1medini is 99 years right?
I think if you are buying a higher floor unit with a good view (sea view+marina view?), it is pretty ok. From what i can see it is unlikely the developer could erect another tower nearby to block your view, hence your unit will remain very very exclusive. In SG, the psf is a lot higher within the same development for the penthouse units with good views.

 

[euphony]

i went to have a look today. looks like public launch soon? in a way i think the price seems justified with very good materials used, etc plus loads of space. though the best views are afforded by penthouse and 3 bedrooms. i hear there will be a residential offering side by side imperia by ncorp or something. those with marina views are best becos trader's hotel is low-lying topping out at L5 unfortunately those with marina views are pretty much booked out liaow that is a very good choice esp. if buy to stay, what more within walking distance to ferry CIQ that fact alone redeems the sky high asking price though looking at the prices, its currently in the league of its own. way out of impiana/fairways suites/sky gardens etc. can't compare with ujana as it was launched before the 500k foreigner restriction. as for 1medini, the density is higher (i hear 6 blocks?) and, LH as well.

Lemans and others:
I found out the crescent is renamed impiana. Crescent was a prelaunch name i hear.
