Empire Residence VS Canary Residence

luvKiWi — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 12:06:24 +0800

Been in dilemma in choosing between Empire Residence @ Damansara Perdana (Soreno) or Canary Residence @ Cheras Hartamas.

Some information on Canary Residence:
This project is solely made up of town villas with a total of approximately 75 units.
- Fully G&G
- Low density
- Facilities such as pool, bbq pit, gym, jogging track n more
- CCTVs
Choices to choose from:
Intermediate 3 Storey (2395 sq ft) – RM 1,195,800
Intermediate 4 Storey (3191 sq ft) – RM 1,524,800
Corner 4 Storey (3281 sq ft + 528 sq ft) - RM 1,654,800
Endlot 4 Storey (3230 sq ft + 508 sq ft) - RM 1,645,800
All 4 strys come with eco-power lift (lower maintenance fee)

Have been struggling between the Canary and the Empire Residence (Soreno @ RM 1.69 after discount) at Damansara Perdana. Any taikor/sifu kindly provide some advices?

Am thinking about Canary 4 stry End Lot after discount RM 1.58 mil. (22X45 with extra 10feet land for end lot)

Packages include:
- DIBS
- 5 % Rebate
- Groupon voucher RM 1500 for RM 15,000 rebate
- FREE S&P legal fees
- Solar heater
- Panic button
Maintainence fee: RM 450 for 4 stry (with sinking included)

Looking for own stay most probably if am afford to pay the installment after 2 years time =P or else, will be looking at selling and hoping to get some profit our of it.

Concerns:
- Is the sizes too small?
- Any room for appreciation in the area after 2 years?
- Surau right opposite Canary

Hoping for some feedback from all sifu sifus as this is our first landed property...

Empire Residence @ Damansara Perdana
- G&G
- 700 units
- Visitor car park and buggy service available
- 26X45
Maintainence fee: RM 650 (with sinking included)
Built up: 3100++ no extra land bank to back facing another house and front facing another house too

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Or any other projects which are worth investing budget not more than 1.7mil preferably with DIBS (landed but no townhouses) as it is quite impossible for us to bear the installment now.

Preferred area:
= Cheras
= TTDI
= Bangsar
= Old Klang Road
= Tmn Desa
= Sri Petaling
= OUG/Happy Garden
= Bukit Jalil
= Damansara
= Kuchai

Preferably NOT:
= Sutera Damansara and Kepong (security is quite bad in the area, many robberies and crimes are happening around)
= Kajang
= Sungei Long

Working at:
= Kuchai
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any taikor and sifu care to share little comments and 2c, urgently needing some advices on this. Clearly und that if we do not start buying now we can definitely not afford for the landed in 2015.
