Second Sign Coming

http://www.chinapress.com.my/node/292297

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.

UOA Le Yuan

Time to write something about this property since this property is hot topic these two days.



There are many launches recently, Leafz, Arte, Mandarina and etc... I didn't really pay much attention to those launches actually since the price is beyond my acceptable range, until UOA launch this Le Yuan project.

Before going to the UOA office, I saw the signboard - Le Yuan. I thought it is new Chinese Restaurant, I am thinking maybe should try see how's the Dim Sum like. Opsss...until I go inside their office I found out that this is the condominium name. Wa Lau, why UOA use such "china" name??? Really want to interview UOA director if got chance...

Address wise, I still confuse this area is under OUG or Kuchai or Happy Garden or Sri Petaling? After clarify with UOA, they claim that the addresss is Sri Petaling address. Ok, whichever area it belong to also doesn't matter as there isn't much different in term of branding among those areas.

Location wise, I think is ok, as there are few access roads link to this place. You can go from Kuchai Lama or from OUG main road towards Sri Petaling, or MEX Highway. Too bad there isn't any LRT station within walking distance, means you must drive in/out and bear with the traffic within Kuchai/OUG area.



Price wise. not cheap, maybe UOA see market still crazy about property investment and maybe also cost of land & development have increase over the year. However, if compare to others projects, the price are not that expensive though. Most of the units is medium size unit, range from 1400 - 1700+-. Only limited 1100 units available (<5%). In contrast, most units at Seringin Residence are large unit range from 1700 - 2400sf+-.

In summary, 1400 sf+- unit is selling at rm600k+- after discount, while 1700 sf +-unit is selling at around rm750k+-. this translate to around rm410-rm450psf. Guess that is the main factor attracting many people come to this launch.


Looking at the layout and size, quite obvious the target market for this property is family, which suitable for family that have 3-6 people to stay. While looking at the location of this property, the target rental market for this property is local chinese. It means, this property is not really an attractive investment if you plan to buy to let. It is more suitable to buy for own stay instead, mainly because it is quite hard to find local chinese that willing to pay RM3k per month to rent a condo.

Since is buy from own stay, then facing, floor level, and surrounding become very important factor. 1100-1500 sf units are facing MEX highway (quite near actually), while 1600sf onwards units are facing Swimming Pool/Desa Gembira condo/West. Obviously the better choice is swimming pool facing since this is their main point - 3.5 acres of resort style recreation facilities.

Design wise, typical standard UOA design, replicate of other UOA condo projects. This is another UOA weakness, lack of creativity. They work like factory, create a mold, and use same mold to build other projects. Please also note that the ceiling height is only 9ft 6", not as high as UOA Bangsar South project, but is acceptable though.
