Penang Property Talk

Actually thinking of buying this but the location is just too close to the power cable.
But i think this location is quite conveniet. Can reach Bayan Lepas about 20~25min.

Good for investment? Anybody can advice?

I’m consider this place for own stay…but worry that in future ppl might rent it out for foreign worker, like what happen in juru height now…

according to the Mrs G, the furthest semi d(smallest) is around 200 feet away from the power tower. You can imagine 10 unit of normal terrace away from the cable, it height is around 4~5 floor. You will definately have a clear view. There will be a low cost flat and surau there.

I am also thinking getting one unit there but now having 2nd thought after checking the site. Can anyone advice. . . . from how many meter onward it is safe? The developer said standard is 66 feet or meter. Can’t remmeber which one already but it is on the plan.

@T

Is the low cost flat and surau within the compound of gated residential? How far will it be from the project site?

Low cost and surau is not within the gated. For me i think this is still acceptable but just the cable.

no need to see liao. All sold to special respective ppl or relatives. This dev is popular for this tactic. It will be up by at least 100K by then

anyone have any comments on the developer? and there seems like a sand mine is just right behind the project, any ideas..

How’s the reputation anyway for this developer? I mean never heard before .. don know if anyone having issue with D’piazza @Ken

if you go look at the D-piazza, you will very disappointed with the man workship and the quality. The quality is poor with hanging pipe in the kitchen… too many to comment. Due to the strategic location in bayan baru together with upwards price of surrounding upcoming bayan city and arena curve, the price boom up by at least 80% since it is launched. By the way, my personal opinion for the greenpark avenue is not worth to buy for investment as the price has up a lot and other factor like those HV power cable together with appreciation in mainland is not as much as island. For own stay, have to watch up those HV cable.

Hey bm, thanks fot the response, what do you mean by price of Greenpark has up a lot, any indicative figure coz I have no idea of what price they’re offering at the moment, which kind of wierd that I dont even heard anything before about the project, anyone out there knows anything @bm

There only left few unit which is not a good location, for me, main concern HV cable a long the road. damn shit.

Why not check out MEGAHOMES ( next to NB PLAZA ) / 2.5 storey Semi-D / RM 599K / Completion End 2011 / Still good units available / Price same as launching price but will increase as soon as project complete / Free legal fees for SnP & Loan including Disbursements / Free Stamp Duty on Memorandum of Transfer ( RM 22K plus ) / Happy House-hunting!!

changing from one high voltage cable area to another…. what is the difference. location strategic or health…. then again investor may have difference oppinion.

How is the response so far?

Actually ah… this one got show unit or not ah?
Uncle plan to go visit if got…

uncle, i dont think show unit is ready by now…if i am not mistaken they assigned henry butcher as their sales agent when this project was still fresh from oven.

Ooo… thank you jo…

Yesterday I go makan at the Double Good restaurant (fuyooh the Indonesian prawns damnn sudaapp~!!)…. I saw the banner hang at the T-junction traffic lights between Autocity phase 1 and phase 2. After that I try to pusing pusing but no idea where is the road to masuk.

End up uncle drive until the Villa Cendana there… fuyooh…damn nice…. but also damn far

villa cendana nice? i prefer residency cendana by same developer…but juru like got a lot of foreigners staying…wonder would it be the same like residency cendana? design is nice though

jo,

for me both also nice. But the location is not suitable for me lah… besides, the entrance road from Autocity is always jammed during peak hours which makes it unbearable in the long run.

location not suitable because of jam or foreigners? I saw there are ads on bumi lots and interested to know whether this developer is good? never heard of this developer before..i mean metrio development

because of jam loh…. foreigners if like Juru Heights then… wah lau… can vomit..

I also seldom heard of metrio… but seeing that they’ve already completed a few projects… boleh tahan juga la…

It’s those that never complete any project one…. have to take some risk… (e.g. Tah Wah, Kee Lin)

true la uncle..tah wah first project is orange villa?
looking for house to buy for own stay…island cannot la, too expensive for landed…condo small small also need about 500++ onwards…

@jo

Yaa… OV is Tah Wah’s maiden project. The success of it will more or less determine their next projects at Bagan Ajam, near the proposed undersea tunnel link by Encik Lim Guan Eng

Come stay in Seberang lah… Pulau not for ordinary wage earners anymore. LOL

want to find somewhere near to penang bridge, thats why came across this project and residency cendana…type B1 semi d link about 420k from henry butcher last year. now might shoot up a bit liao…i didn’t go for it because of HV cable that is quite near to it…

Are this gated community or not? If non gated im sure some industrial company will convert some house to foreign workers hostels…See what happen to Juru Heights, many double storey houses use as foreign workers hostel. Juru Height high end bungalow down in foreigners population. Value drop, no quality living, no exclusive, no comfortable. Mau lelong tak laku, mau duduk tak senang. Rugi dapat, malu dapat. Should learn..

@samloh from the brochure i have lately, they didnt say it is gated but site plan showed there is guard house at entrance…early booking price is about 420k cheapest I dont think people will simply rent out or convert to hostel and some even cost you 800k++…
if facilities is being managed well then i think it should be alright…again i am pessimistic about
the HV cable..
fyi, you may get the brochure from seraimas bina office or their panel bank hong leong..nearest is hong leong autocity..

Only guarded community same as Juru Villa and i heard Juru Villa now face foreigners issue but not too bad like Juru Heights. Dont worry i believe there is no foreigners here. U can see atmosphere at Bayu Mutiara. There is no foreigners issue for development near Autocity.

Juru Heights and nearby got a lot of foreigners staying coz located in isolated area, forest and farm and no infrastructure area. Everyone know foreigners prefer to stay in forest, farm and isolated area.

All foreigners will stay at Juru Heights. Normally the employer will put their employees in one place for easy pick and drop. They already selected house at Juru Heights to use as hostel for foreign workers and as one stop center for them. So don worry this area free and out of foreigners radius.

@robert
maybe you are right, there are more and more factories going to be here in mainland…i dont think juru heights alone can accommodate them all though…this is a good project but HV cable really an issue long term…

@bthaw
is this correct? wonder why those owners would rent to foreigners when it is obvious that such act eventually depreciate the properties value…some more properties nowadays cost you at least 400 to 500k minimum…is pity to see nice houses being occupied by them, no doubt they have the rights to at least have a place to stay in our country but why not placing them in apartment or dormitory? thanks bthaw for your input

i dont know. my sister live at Juru Heights. they complaint to Mpsp and state goverment about this foreign issue but no action. i think Juru Heights will be a nest for foreigners for long time. if Juru Heights with more than 200 high end bungalow unit can turn to low class area, can we say this development will save from foreigners area…think about it

since Juru Heights be a famous bigger nest for foreigners, people now scared to buy housing properties at Juru areas. must be careful

@robert
hmm…that’s just depends, dont because of one example, you assume all the same..for me juru is not a bad place for housing development since it is located in the centre of both 1st link and 2nd link bridges (batu kawan)…if all house owners work together then this kind of issue could be avoided…juru heights selling prices at the begining was not that high and investors are able to receive rental to pay for installments…thats why they are willing to sign contract with those FTZ companies..free installments first came to their mind…for current market with semi d at least 530K, how much rental needed to cover monthly installments? I doubt those FTZ companies would pay higher rental anyway…

i think foreign issue depend on owner and resident community. Owners should be blamed for house rent to foreigners. Resident community also should be strong and do more hard duty to protect their Taman from this aliens. I think Bayu Mutiara not facing foreign issue..

owner that rent out to aliens dont live there , so .. the resident committee cant do anything la

hayooo…if nobody cant do anything so must be careful lah. To be careful also i think hard coz we dont know that owner want move in or rent out. I think Juru Heights people also dont expect most units will change to hostel workers.

most taman at Juru face foreigners issue except gated community. If no gated community i think semid villa cendana, Juru Heights bungalow etc be occupied by foreigners.

That why, i never consider Juru …

is Juru located in the centre of both 1st link and 2nd link bridges (batu kawan)? from juru to Batu Kawan i think quite far

with the opening of more factory in the Science Park & Batu Kawan, can expect more influx of Banglas & indons, where are they going to stay? More non GNG houses in Juru going to be hostel, juru soon will be a “modern Dhaka”, Non GNG in simpang ampat & alma may be in danger too.

Any one know exactly where is the location(Park View)?

other than Jalan Bukit Minyak and North-South highway to Batu Kawan, I heard that the proposed alternative road from Juru to Batu Kawan that would more closely to second bridge. Is it true???

@Lady Gogo
yes, juru located both 1st link and second link bridges..from juru to batu kawan is not far too..probably 15mins at most?

@Lady Gogo
GNG or even guarded only community is safer..juru heights terraces houses are being occupied by foreigners but not those houses with GNG within juru heights…not sure about juru heights bungalow…villa cendana 1 if i am not wrong no foreigners issues..villa cendana 2 i am not sure about that but 30% to 40% houses are up for sale or rent…residency cendana which is the 3rd project of the same villa cendana developer is going to be completed soon. it is a guarded only community, lets see how it goes before we judge anything here…bungalows are believed to be more than semi d in that taman and if i am not wrong semi d is sold at least 450k since it was launched…can you imagine a 450k or 500K++ properties being rented out to foreigners? if yes, then it is absolutely a crazy decision to see…

@psang
if i am not wrong, very near to pensonic factory…just stone throw away

@jo
Based on location map of Juru Height, Res Cendana, Villa Cendana2 show that Jalan Perusahaan will link to Batu Kawan. is this true??

The best person to ask whether that link will happen or not is to talk to the state government

@Uncle Ho
haiyaaa…state goverment say that link should ask federal goverment coz under federal budget…let’s play ball

Eh? betul ke? You really go ask? Batu Kawan and surrounding areas… best person to ask is Deputy CM Prof Ramasamy…. you got send email to him already? Can share his reply?

No lah Uncle Ho..I refer to the previous DUN meeting. The State Government will get the money for this road segment in the next Malaysia Plan. My understanding if under Malaysia Plan, of course under federal lah..if this road there, distance from Juru to Batu Kawan will be shorter.

Fuyooh! Thanks thanks…. this is something I really didn’t know.

@Lady Gogo
are you try to say this state goverment cannot afford to implement the road

@Uncle Lim
Haiyaaa…I never said that!

@Lady Gogo
based on news from The Star 15th March, i think the proposed link/bridge near Juru Heights may not be connected to Batu Kawan. Only existing Jalan Bukit Minyak or North-South Highway to Batu Kawan. Good info for buyers who consider the Juru area.

So forever lahh Juru Heights residents live in isolated area with foreigners and chicken farms.

@Lady Gogo
never say never about the link, but i do not see the link as so important for juru people especially res cendana and villa cendana residents…they are so near to auto city and north south highway..if they want to drive to batu kawan then use highway lor…no worries

Res cendana and villa cendana ok maaa. Juru Heights too deep. They shoplots all dead maaa. Only myanmar and vietnam kedai makan operate here..

@Lady gogo
state goverment canceled the bridge at Juru Heights to Batu Kawan but replace with road connect to Penang Science Park.

So what the co-ordinator Lai Chew Hock said in Star yesterday is true lah. I think bcoz the high cost of bridge construction. That’s why in previous Dun assembly State said the proposal bridge from Juru to Batu Kawan is under Federal budget. Anyway at least they replace with connecting road to Penang Science Park maybe bcoz low budget.

i think the link important for juru ppl. At least can avoid Juru toll. If use north south highway u must pay rm1.20 then plus rm7.00 for second penang bridge.

@max
use first link bridge instead of 2nd link then…it is much more nearer as compared to second bridge…apart from potential of foreigners staying in some part of the taman, juru to me is still ok as location wise is quite central between both links…near to auto city, sunway carnival and perai industrial area…

If the link come true, distance to second bridge more shorter than first bridge for resident at res cendana, juru villa, villa cendana, juru heights and this park view.

@koon
I went to Penang Science Park recently and found that the bridge has been completed PENDING land filling for road accessing….. its connected in between Penang Science Park(roundabout near Ibiden) to Juru industrial area(near UMS and Juru Height)……Well done ! It safe a lot of time,disctance toll fee paid(JURU to BUKIT TAMBUN) !

@psang
Yes toll free from Juru to Bukit tambun and batu kawan. Hope can complete fast. Juru will be located between first and second bridge (toll free). For Juru Heights ppl and nearby, distance to second bridge more near compared to first bridge. If no link, second bridge more far and need to pay toll if use highway..Well done and good info for those who are interested Juru area

for rich people maybe easy to say no problem. Use highway and pay toll maybe not issue for them. They also live in gated community that is no foreigners inside.

@max
hmm…maybe can start to consider juru as residential area? res cendana really attracted me as there are bumi lots available but heard only left one corner semi d and bungalows..both types quite expensive…you guys know any other projects around juru area?

@jo
You may consider Carnation Villa…very strategic location !

@jo
I challenge you to buy Juru Heights especially double storey terrace (non gated). Many houses to be sold. Very cheap and for dst unit you can buy for just RM260k

thanks psang…will look more details for carnation villa..
@ lady gogo, LOL doing that is like you knew there is a hole in front of you but you still willingly make yourself dropped into it..

@Lady Gogo
subsale so hard since some units convert to hostel. some owners have moved out bcoz cannot stand.

How to stand if left and right occupied by foreigners. Yesterday at 6.00pm i went to JH, it seems like there is a night market front the main entrance but when i go closer all them foreigners. Also hard to drive inside non gated (terrace) coz they walk in group like duck and u need to avoid them. Haiyaa even RM260k so cheap but to stay probably not!

it will be nice residence.me n my cousin go check out at the developer office….somemore got 2 river within residences…..i thing sg juru….

@yennin
do you know how much is the price now?

i got booking 3 semi D B1,
don know wan ro let go now or after get OC ???

@tan
wow, 3 units? thats quite a lot..if you can wait and hold longer, of course after OC la..

that time they say HV no problem, so i book 3 lo,
but i scare later no body wan, then wat to use with the 3 semi D ?

@jo
Rm445k and up

@tan
sorry to tell u i won’t buy any house nearby high voltage cable area, don’t trust developer say no side effect or no problem, they wanna sell & marketing the house, say whatever they like, in my opinion, it must at least 500m distance from HV cables will be safe. Anyway, all depend personal perception about HV cable effect, i can see many houses built nearby HV (within 50m) for eg apt nearby Tesco seberang jaya, bangalow in Juru Heights etc.

@monica
ya, agree, i also boycott to buy any house nearby HV area, this project suppose to rename to: Cables View Residences.

price from 400k and above until 1mil….about High Voltage Cable i think its not wise to say danger because all alongside sunway city and seberang jaya just beside HV….i think mpsp lulus the development because its consider very safe,developer just cannot simply develop one housing without approve from mpsp,alam sektar authority,eia things and so on…

@yennin
in developed countries such as Singapore, Australia, USA or england, no houses build nearby HV cables, although mpsp approved, wise buyers don’t simply trust the authority it is safe or no side effect, since we have optional & many choices of house areas in Seberang Perai, why still choose the location that will have negative impact? I knew other state in Malaysia (i think in Pahang), residence came out to protest & object TNB install HV cable nearby their residential area, the case not solving yet…

@alex
Many Seberang Perai project near HV Cables, near heavy factory, very near to chicken farm, pig farm, near scrap metal removal center but all will sold out. When you buy but can’t live, you can rent to foreigners or others..
