Shoplot Land Price in Kepong - Sell or build?

hondaracer — Thu, 21 Feb 2019 10:08:03 +0800

Hi All,

I am not so familiar with shoplots nor kepong area.

There is 1 shoplot land, with freehold title, size 27 x 51 feet, about 1,100 sqft. There is no bank loan used for getting that land.

It is around Jalan Kepong and Jalan Besar Kepong area. Location wise:There is a school nearby SJK © Kepong and local college/tuition centre nearby. Future nearby MRT station being built now.

Similar shoplots around there were sold for transacted price rm 1.7 mil last year 2018, but it has 3K sqfeet.

Questions:
(1) If that land was to be sold, what is the price?
(1) If a building was erected, 2 storey or3 storey. What is the cost of building?

TS, what is your opinion: sell land or build building for rental?

Ara Green vs Ara Hill vs View@Saujana vs Amaya

hondaracer — Sun, 29 Sep 2013 01:20:13 +0800

Dear All Sifu,

Lots of new condo development in Ara Damansara.

New development
1) Ara Green - freehold
2) Verde - leasehold
3) Eve Suite - freehold
4) Pacific Place - leasehold
5) Urbana - leasehold
6) H2O
7) Sensuous - leasehold
8) Nova - freehold

Existing Properties:
1) Ara Hill - freehold
2) Amaya - freehold
3) View @ Serai Saujana - freehold
4) Crimson
5) Puncak Seri Kelana - leasehold
6) Puncak Nusa Kelana -leasehold

I would like to compare Amaya vs View@Saujana vs Ara Hill vs Ara Green as all are freehold and has similar sizes and price range.

Con
1) View is facing the subang highway, noisy.
2) Amaya is also facing subang highway but will be worse as it will face nova very close when nova is ready.
3) Ara Hill condo has piping tile issues and one side face high tension wire with another side facing water tank.

What are the plus and negative points in your opinion, if buying for investment and own stay??

View@Serai Saujana - Pro & Con (Buy?)

hondaracer — Sun, 22 Sep 2013 21:12:14 +0800

Hi all,

I have just viewed a unit in View @ Serai Saujana. 1800 sqft unit facing jalan subang at high floor, facing East. Asking Price is RM 1.2 million fully furnished, and heard owner bought at around 900++ K from developer.

I am thinking of buying in saujana for own stay because

1) Near my parents place in Kelana Jaya.
2) Easy Access to jalan subang & NKVE, and Fed Higheay.
3) Near Citta Mall, small mall in Ara but fulfill most of my needs.
4) Exclusive Saujana Address, although in Shah Alam.
5) Nested amongst Saujana bungalows.

Con
1) Facing Jalan Subang, got traffic noise.
2) Near Saujana Hotel, can be busy in certain weekends due to functions like wedding.
3) Near subang airport, there are planes flying by.
4) Slow appreciation in value even after 3 years whereas other condo nearby appreciated faster.

Tested the sound from jalan subang, it is ok when windows are closed.

I am just concerned that I missed out any other weak points, appreciate all TKT inputs. Heard that View is only 50% occupied and the appreciation is very slow. Even the Villa is having difficulty in sales and got developer units.

Renting - how to prevent short term renters

hondaracer — Sun, 30 Jun 2013 09:45:54 +0800

Hi!!

I would like to seek opinion on tenancy agreement. Normally there is a 1+1 year term which allow for yearly adjustment in rent amount. I have a new 26x80 2 storey house in good neighborhood for rent which is vacant for 6 months.

I do not mind if tenant move after 12 months or more, if good tenant I probably would not increase rent as well.

Several potential tenants ask for short term, i have one potential tenant indicated previous owner gave notice to him but he stayed more than 6 months and was always shopping for a house to buy subsale. He can afford the rent I was asking for RM 2 k monthly, as I found out he was keen to buy a corner lot being GM in local firm. Normally short term owners ask for more but he was asking for RM 1.8k monthly, I would like to offer 1.9 k but get longer term period commitment from him. I have competition from 6 other units probably asking rent rm 2k but he was keen at my unit bring nearby playground.

Other T&C are standard, except:

1) 2 years tenancy at RM 1.9k monthly.
2) Deposits will not be re-funded if tenure is less than 12 months
3) 3 months notice to be given by tenant.
4) Rent will be paid till end of notice period, and not offset by deposit.
