Sir max park, looking at the traffic cam at the customs, it's significantly less busy than Xmas. Think reaching customs around 7.30am should be quite safe bah ... Good luck tmr

You reckon what would be a good time to go in to avoid the jams tomorrow?

I asked my malaysian property agent about Straits View. He said that if I want to invest there I need to find for tenants working in Pasir Gudang. The reason is that there is heavy traffic between Permas Jaya and Johor Bahru checkpoint in the morning and evening, not many people that work in Singapore will want to rent. SO.....I guess it leaves me with a smaller market.

I bought it because of the new 2nd Permas bridge and EDL that will be ready by next year. That should make the traffic much smoother and faster to the checkpoint. Did the agent factor that into his analysis?

Wow, this thread is sure moving on fast. Yeah, had a bit of enquiries on my ND and HH houses lately, politely referred to one of my friends who is still on the fence to sell or not. Meanwhile, my neighbour refused an offer of 1.1 and another refused 1.22 m. Both semi d.

Bro , will you be staying at your ND semi D when it is ready next year , or for rental ?
1.1m , 1.22m offer is for HH or ND bro ?

Bro Euphony, beautiful photos (besides the scene, also has to be with your photography skill)! you should have showed me these earlier. Maybe I would have changed my mind from buying HH to buying LF instead. Anyway, from now on, LF certainly makes the list of places which will be my future 2nd property.

I have the opportunity to do a 'kah' trip around a bit this afternoon. So I took these photos for fellow LFers :p

This is the famous spot.

On the left is the famous house

The proposed exit from 2nd link

And on the other side, EL.

And on this very spot taking all the photos, I received full range both SG and MY mobile signals. The owner of this piece of land is lucky! No roaming charges that's for sure.

Ask HDB to buy and build a new Tampines for design and build?

Shall we pool money to buy?

2.8 million for 52,664.04 sq.ft. so 52/sq.ft. Large enough to build several bungalows or many terraces. Or maybe a mini theme park or water park or taiwanese-style love motels with artificial "hotspring".

Yeah, agree with the Bros who posted above, should we gather some funding to be the Lords of the Land, the fellowship of the land?

sorry to burst your bubble!

Anybody know bumi release lot as good as international lot. My agent told me it is the same as we can also sell to foreigner. The difference is no different from the international lot. Is it true?

Many thanks in advance.

Bro PH, I think there are several posts in the past where several Bros including Bro Wuqi discussed this issue. I also once got a chance to buy a bumi released lot and in the end, gave it up after realizing in the record, it would always show the lot was a bumi released lot even after it was sold to international buyers and also the price was no difference from the international lot. I personally would not risk buying a bumi release lot. Who knows what the state law/policy will become in the future dealing with bumi release lot/land sold to foreign buyers. Unless you want so badly and love the lot so much and is sold at a significantly lower price than the international lot, I personally do not think it is worth buying the bumi release lot.

I was told stay away from Bumi lots

 

[mathstub]

Before gathering funding, there are some questions popping up in my mind. With such large piece of land, are the buyers allowed to do anything with it? Or there will be some restrictions listed in the Deed of Covenant? Are there any cases before where the purchase of land inside a development involves several buyers gathering fund and loan from different banks or the same banks? Do we need to set up a company first with multiple partners and get a loan from the bank?

Wah! So now we have new NI P8 neighbours in Diaspora and CameraMan? And possibly DREAMorACTION, Okane and Idaman?
Welcome welcome!

Dear Diaspora,

You are entitled to the RM10k rebate when you make the booking with RM1k. In fact, the RM10k can be nett off from your first 10% payment. I just signed my SPA a few days ago. Also NI.

 

[contra]

Don't pressurize me leh ... I want it badly, I still can't solve the 10% uncertainty aka the obstacle. If I ignore the 10%, I might/will get an ear full for the rest of my life ...

Brother DoA, you see Okane & Idaman already will be going to NI today to look for house to buy..... pressure from the market man . Today is the deadline the SA gave you, right? Good luck on whatever happens.


" Happy new year " to all forumers. Cheers to the "Tipping Point" year 2012.

Hi Puteri Harbour,

Agree with Mathstub's comments about Bumi Release lot. I had a chance to look at the title for Ledang Heights land for Bumi Release lot. Very restrictive for future transaction especially if you are buying for investment. Comparing an international lot land title, you wont find any clauses listed but in the Bumi Release one, whole list of it! The agent will definitely keep telling you that "but you have a letter that states its been released". Similar advice given by Mathstub, why bother with it, might as well buy one which comes with a clean sheet of title without any other attachments! I will only consider it, if it is say 30% cheaper and for own stay (at least not dealing with selling it any time near).

Cheers
