checkers said:Hsbc loan officers do come over to singapore , their svc is good but disbursement of loan may not be as efficient as local banks - that's what I heard
Actually the HSBC banker handling my loan did offer to come to Sg to settle my loan stuffs. You can try RHB bank as well as they gave me the best overall package..
FYI - you can even apply macs at Jusco bukit Indah. They have a counter in between Lavender and Jusco. Hope this helps.
I read that investors from China are big and conspicuous investors particularly in Canada, Australia, Dubai and Singapore. If Malaysia and Singapore could offer them good opportunities and make them feel welcome, I would think it is more natural for them to invest in Malaysia and Singapore also. After all both countries are nearer and have large Chinese population.
Not difficult, rest is P&C my apologies.
Thanks for sharing Leisure Farm and Ledang Heights both do if i recall correctly.
ST is actually pretty ok but just that traffic can be bad on weekends.
You are well entitled to your personal opinion.
Here are some of mine, based on what little i know:
Some of those renting at highest prices or buying the most are from KL/Penang apparently and some are actually working in projects for Johore.
There is also a group set up to looking into building/buying properties from China. They have been active for the past 1-2 years.
There were also more than 100 units in HH that were bought by companies from Sri Lanka, companies like Lankasia for example.
Laguna had some early problems to be sure, my very early postings already talked about the issues it had back then. Have you been to Laguna recently? Danga has bought up most of the land all around Laguna, there has been a lot of changes and more incoming changes to that area has been planned.
I have posted some housing website about the prices in Nusajaya, for the benefit of yourself and your local friends, here it is again. There are still quite a few properties way below the 500k mark (look below the rental units on top) that is in Bukit Indah (Nusajaya).
One is even below 250k and i am not even talking about low cost or medium cost housing for which there are still units available.

Thanks for helping with this. Yes lots to choose from other than NI or HH, really depends on what one wants.
www.iproperty.com.my is a good place to search, do a search for all houses in Nusaya and the slowly narrow it down.
Hello avalon74,
The offer price was MYR589,000 for my unit. All the promotional discounts and fees absorbtion during the launch last year applied, so all in all, I think it was a fair deal. I was told the Alphenor handover will be around this time next year as the external works are still on-going.
Thanks for the pic, I look forward to enjoy such scenery in person :-) And yes, I look forward to meeting up with fellow residents at SEG. in the near future.
Cheers.
Bro, the minimum width of the smallest house in taman laguna is 26", not 24".
We are aware that some atas developments in JB are indeed priced out of the reach by the locals. But u also have to associate the price to the space that u will get. Using your example of laguna, it has 6 bedrooms with a minimum built up of 2,700 sq ft, and a considerably big land area of minimum 26 x 80.
If you look at the lower cost housings (<300k), the price tag might be lower, but the space is significantly smaller also, usually less than 1,600 sq ft with only maximum 3 rooms (based on my observation from the resale market).
People are upgrading houses because 1) getting more affluent 2) family size increases 3) better security 4) investment etc
Using these few factors as a comparison, I don't quite see a point why the price in laguna is deem unreasonable when the price is in proportion to the space u get, and in fact much better with the added security, added designs and quality materials used and much more.
Using your friend as an example, if he as a sole breadwinner decides to move into a big house like laguna with 6 rooms, is this more relevant to say that this is a luxury more than a need? So luxury do come with a steeper price tag, without a doubt. But then again, for a big big family, which Malaysian family usually is (including the parents, in-laws etc), I think 600k price tag is very value for money, but dual-income family will find it more palatable.
There are indeed many lower cost houses in jb, like bro wuqi has pointed out in so many links. For new-built, there is also nusa bayu, with price tag started from less than 300k when it was launched. Now it's about 300k to 350k I think, before discounts.
In a nutshell, there are tons of options out there, and one should only buy within means and with needs. Remember, snakes can always try to shallow their prey more than their stomach could take, and even if it can shallow it, it might face difficult in digestion and killing itself instead. Likewise for human beings
Btw, no one development is perfect. Don't make yor judgement call if u haven't seen it all. It sounds like u haven't heard of the horror stories from other atas tamans, including HH?

Nothing wrong with preference. Everyone has different criteria and ST checked more boxes on my checklist at one particular point
Bro, this is like comparing me against buying in orchard road. My case would be worse, because I can't even afford to buy a toilet space within a landed property in orchard hahaha (FYI, bukit indah was being referred to as orchard belt in here last time)
Just a laugh. Monday blues, go go go away
