HH to Woodlands via 1st link in 1 hr? Wow that's impressive! I have school-going kids too and always thought we will have to leave the house around 5am or something to make it before the bell. How much is entering Sg from Tuas? What's the monthly cost? I'm thinking maybe we enter Sg by 2nd...

Wow it's gotten pretty quiet for awhile. So here's something for discussion: How does the new Sg housing measures affect you or someone you know when it comes to purchasing property now or in the future? Are they affecting you/them right now? Here is a breakdown of the new HDB measures: For...

Dropped by NI show house on Sunday and was told by the sales guy that visitor numbers (both Singaporeans and Malaysians) have picked up suddenly. We did notice that when we went to the show house there were a number of people checking it out (when last week there wasn't any) and the sales guy...

I'm not sure what you meant by that paragraph, sorry. Are you talking about ghost sightings or criminals waiting at that traffic light area? Do enlighten thanks!

Are you referring to the Coastal Highway extending out from Danga Bay area to Nusajaya? That stretch will be ready by end 2011 according to this site: http://www.iskandarwaterfront.com/projects/projects_costal_highway.html Does this mean that the highway will then be extended to connect with...

That's why like I mentioned before, it's really unfortunate that NI doesn't have its own website and information on it is sparse especially when I was looking a few months back. I did stumble across a couple of blogs (via Google) of people who bought and are staying at the older precincts (e.g...

I purchased the corner lot. Our row has around 10 link house units, with 6 to 7 units from corner/end lot to another end lot. The price ranges around RM480-520K for corner lots. End lots can fetch around RM430+K and intermediate lots were priced at around RM390+K. From what I gather most if not...

Maybe the way I phrased it isn't ideal. It's actually 10% minus the RM1000 we placed as deposit :)

Ours is MLTA not MRTA. We have to pay that amount annually. A possible plan with MLTA is to pay until just after break even point, cash in the insurance and use the guaranteed cash back to pay off the rest of the housing loan. The lawyer fee is for processing of the levy only. Our housing...

I've gotten lots of useful information from this thread and so am more than happy to do my part to contribute. Also it's a way of tracing our own personal experience :) OK. Here's the sequence of monetary expenses we've had to fork out so far: 1. RM1000 as initial booking deposit to developer...

Seems like more and more developments are coming up aimed at the mid to high priced market (especially with the minimum RM500K set for foreigners recently). Most, if not all, banking on the Iskandar/Nusajaya name and location to drive up the value. They're like mushrooms sprouting up after a...

Yeah just some sharing since not much recent NI stuff is posted online anyways. I'm still jealous of those staying at HH though! And I gotta admit those "The Hills" residence designs look so appealing! :)

Yeah that's why I was constantly searching online for latest news on happenings at NI up to and even now after signing on the dotted line. I'm hoping that no further crime news post 2009 means that things are relatively safer there now! I'm still bummed that NI doesn't have it's own website...

Thanks for compiling the comments and providing those links. I've actually already read those comments you posted before as part of our research (like I said I did a LOT of web surfing on "Nusa Idaman" :)). And on the flip side I've also read a few comments from people who are reasonably...

We bought a place at Nusa Idaman Phase 8A recently so here's my 2 cents on why :) We chose it after we did some research online and went up to look at HH and Bukit Indah's offerings (end June). HH and BI had websites so we could browse the available properties etc. before driving up. However NI...

I was just up at Nusa Idaman sales office again today to settle some legal matters and noticed that there are still quite a number of link house intermediate/end lots available. You may want to check the units there to see if they catch your eye. Phase 8 is supposed to be their premier precinct...

Since no one has replied I'll give you my 2 cents worth. Are you looking for a new development or resale? Not sure what the pricing for other newer developments are but the prices of the ones we've visited are pretty steep compared to some other locations and definitely compared to a couple of...

Mind PMing me the names of those banks? I just want to see if we've approached them already and if not then what are the chances of jumping onto their packages if available.

OK after waiting a few weeks for the banks to come back with offers, we settled on this pretty standard HL package: Interest rate (BLR - 1.9)%. Loan duration 26yrs. Loan amount 80%. Maybe if we waited and shopped around the other banks some more we could get a miracle and be offered a similar...

Will likely be heading up to sales office to sign the lawyer letter and finalise the home loan this weekend. Planning to pay via SGD cheque to minimise the hassle (although I suspect we'll lose out a little from the exchange rate). Once those two things are settled it'll feel more 'official' and...
