Seputeh 9 Studio and UOA Old Klang Road

Today, my friend told me about this condo Seputeh 9 at Old Klang Road, by MRCB. He visited the site, and they have many different layout. What attracted him there is the Studio unit, which the selling price is only RM300k +++.

I repeat, 400++ sft for RM300k++ is consider "CHEAP" and able to attract people to view, because nowadays it is RARE to find anything at RM300k++. (Even though PSF is RM700++)


Therefore, developer have to build a smaller unit, so the absolute price look attractive.

Similar condo launched by UOA look much attractive in term of PSF. However due to the size is bigger, that is why the absolute price look much expensive. (Even though PSF is RM500++).

UK house prices rose by 8% in the year to the end of March.

This means many people make millions again within these few years !

I still remember few years ago when economy in UK still very gloomy, many UK property agent come to Malaysia to promote UK price.


That time the price of UK property drop to historical low. Now, within just few year, up to much again..... Magic of investment. For same item, it look not attractive at one moment. After one round turn, it become gold...so magic

I wish I able to buy the property in UK, seriously wish. Unfortunately not able to. Working in Malaysia, earning RM, can't even enough to survive in Malaysia, don't even mentioned UK.

I still remember in previous article on part time job from MauKerja recruitment website survey showed > half of working adults need to look for part time income to have "better" living. So it only a dream for workers to own a house in UK.

Do we need to work 2 jobs now to survive in Malaysia? Source: www.MauKerja.my

Recently MauKerja conducted survey about stress at work place. It is shock to see that almost 27% of the users are actually working > 1 jobs, to survive.

It seem like working 1 job is not going to be enough to survive in Malaysia, especially in Kuala Lumpur. With the price increase of house, food, electricity, living expenses. One single income is no longer feasible. I have a feeling the % will increase to 50% very soon.

We started to become like resident at Shanghai, whereby it is very common for people to work part time, or extra works after their full time jobs.

If this is the trend, how many hours left for our family, or kids? Damn...this is not the life I want !!!

What worry me more is base on MauKerja survey, 34% of the workers having problems with their spouse/family due to work related stress. This is so unhealthy !

Second Sign Coming

吉隆坡10日訊)今年是“買家市場”年,高檔公寓房產過去數年供應激增,加上需求放緩,買家擁有更大的議價空間,可趁此機會購入素質佳的二手高檔公寓。
 房地產服務公司威廉氏達哈和王(CH William Talhar & Wong,簡稱WTW)董事經理符儒仁指出,目前巴生谷高檔公寓供應達2萬2877間,平均住戶率僅達68%,在未來5年預計市場將出現1萬3716間新公寓,增幅約50%。
租金也降低
 “高檔房產需求仍在,只是供應增加,使購屋者或租客擁有更多選擇,屋主也必須降低租金或增設新家具,吸引租客。”
 他說,有意購置高檔公寓的購屋者擁有更大的議價籌碼,可考慮購買設施和社區發展成熟的二手公寓。
 他今日在WTW 2012年房產領域展望報告匯報會上說,成長放緩並不意味著價格下跌,建材成本增加,預計今年房產成交價值按年增幅達10%,但房產交易宗數按年增幅預計不超過10%。
 2011年交易資料顯示,城中城高檔公寓價格已回彈至07年水平,每平方呎售價介于800至2000令吉;滿家樂新計劃售價介于700至1200令吉。
 珍珠白沙羅(Mutiara Damansara)一帶價格介于600至700令吉。
 他指出,在租金方面,高檔公寓熱點地區租金,每平方呎介于4至5.50令吉,今年料將走滑。

Kena Tipu Dah !

What is your understanding for those wording in the promotion below?


My interpretation (version 1): If I register through this website and also be the first 100 buyers of this property, I will get an iPad.

I went to the launch with few friends, and two of them purchased the property. When my friends ask UOA Sales agent about this free iPad, this is UOA interpretation (version 2):
Oooo...you need to be the first 100 who sign the S&P, then only can get the iPad.

FYI, UOA usually will give additional 1% discount to their repeat customer, which I consider something positive and good to join as UOA member.

Both my friends who bought this property: Mr A, who is previous purchaser of UOA property, and Mr B, who is first time purchaser of UOA property signed their loan & S&P within 2 weeks.

Today, UOA informed my friend about the iPad news (version 3):
Mr A, you will not get the iPad lar, because you are UOA member. We have give you additional 1% discount already. But no worry, Mr B will get it because he is not UOA member.

I dunno want to laugh or cry. But definately feel sorry for my friend Mr A who rush to sign the S&P, but eventually told by UOA (last minutes version) that he is not entitle for the iPad eventhough he is first 100 purchaser. Seem like sometimes, there is negative point to be so call UOA "privilege members" :)

I told my friends, there is nothing you can do about this, because, if you see the image above carefully, there is a powerful word there - "terms and condition apply". The details terms and conditions was not spell out clearly, so the promoter can define the terms and condition as anything they want. Lesson learnt: Things like this (free iPad and etc), you better be careful even though the promotion is run by listed company.
