Storming ahead with IJM Land IJM Land Berhad is one of Malaysia’s largest property developers and is armed with over 30 years of experience. Listed on the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia, IJM Land acts as the development arm of IJM Corporation Berhad, one of the largest construction and infrastructure group in Malaysia. Managing director of IJM Land Dato’ Ir. Soam Heng Choon takes some time off to update iProperty.com on things to come. A true mega developer, IJM Land at any one time has plenty of ongoing projects throughout the country which is divided into the northern, central and southern regions as well as East Malaysia. Despite a soft market situation, projects under the company have seen great response due to high residential demand.

Northern foray Soam says about IJM Land’s northern region projects, “Currently in Penang, there is the Summer Place condominium which was launched back in April 2009. It has 530 units on offer and all of the non-Bumiputra ones, 85 percent of the total, are sold. Next to it are 28 units of shops which will be launched soon.

Soam explains that IJM Land has a valuation system for its projects which will determine its launch dates. This is why some of the projects are built till almost completion before they are launched like The Spring condominiums, also in Penang. The said project is already 90 percent sold leaving only a few Bumiputra units available. IJM Land’s most recent offering is the Light Linear, first parcel within the first phase of its visionary The Light Waterfront, a massive mixed development spanning 152 acres on the eastern coastline of Penang island. “The first parcel of The Light is Light Linear condominiums with 328 units offered,” says Soam.

“Near IJM Land’s Penang office is a luxury condominium development called Platino. The project, with a gross development value (GDV) of RM200 million was launched last year and stands at over 60 percent sold.

He adds, “The Light is a high-end waterfront development and IJM Land will be showcasing it in the Urban Waterfront Conference in Bahrain at the end of this year. We have a vision of putting The Light into the international map.

“Then there is Sierra Vista a build-then-sell (BTS) project consisting of stratified threestorey semi-detached houses and fivestorey studio suites. As Sierra Vista is an exclusive project, there would not be many units on offer. Its launch is coming soon.”

“IJM Land wants to project Penang as an international city where the new and the old complements one another. It is rich in heritage but there is also a need for modern facilities as well as amenities to attract talent and this is in line with the

28 |

issue 55

government’s vision to raise the nation to a high income economy. The Light will be of international standard and have seen tremendously good response. “The Light is one of the few truly waterfront developments in the country. Even on Penang island itself, not many stay near the waterfront. Investors and occupants of The Light will be treated to a full view of the majestic Penang Bridge. At night, the horizon will be illuminated by lights from Butterworth.” Soam says that the next parcel launch within The Light will be the end of the year, subject to market demand. Light Linear is the most affordable residences within the project and it is foretold that future offerings within the waterfront development will be priced higher. “IJM Land’s focus will be on cash generating projects which can achieve high sales in value and figures so that the money can be reinvested for other phases,” adds Soam. Divided into three phases, The Light Waterfront will consist of residential condominiums, luxury waterside homes with private jetties, commercial district with hotels, offices, malls and a seafront park.

an upcoming shopping complex in SS2,” says Soam.

According to Soam, buyers in Johor prefer gated and guarded projects.

Soam says, “We have Seremban 2 township in Negeri Sembilan which has seen amazing growth. About 90 percent of 2,300 acres have already been developed. There is still a piece of adjoining 1,500 acres land called S2 Heights that will see numerous project launches every year.

Soam emphasises that niche landed highend development are still enjoying a modest take-up rate. People still prefer landed properties and there are not many good ones around. In Cheras, IJM Land has sold semi-detached homes for RM1.7 million and 90 percent has been taken up. Soam reminisces that in the past asking for that kind of money for a semi-detached will just draw laughter.

“Interests in Johor properties might experience a climb one or two years after the launch of the integrated resorts (IR) project in Singapore,” says Soam.

“Yearly sales in Seremban 2 averages about RM150 to RM180 million. High end homes are like Carcosa which sells for more than a million RM per unit. Lower end homes are like the single-storey and double-storey houses.”

“Today, landed properties are moving really fast while demand for condominium is experiencing a lag. Back then (before the economic slowdown), demand for landed properties is still top while condominiums follow closely behind,” opines Soam.

To date, there are more than 12,000 residential and over 2,000 commercial properties completed in Seremban 2. The self-contained township also houses district government departments like courts, land office, JKR, police headquarters, fire department and many more. Shopping can be done at Jusco while education is served by five established schools.

Soam elaborates, “A lot of people are buying condominiums due to security concerns. Unless the government can make the commitment to significantly bring down the crime index, homebuyers will make security as one of their top priorities.”

For IJM Land, central region developments are divided into projects within the Klang Valley and in Negeri Sembilan.

The estimated population of Seremban 2 is about 40,000. “For the Klang Valley, IJM Land has three projects in Cheras. There is Bukit Mandarina in Taman Connaught, Bayu Segar semidetached and bungalows in Taman Segar and Monte Bayu in Taman Cheras, perched right on top of the hill. “Other projects include Serenia Gardens terrace houses and semi-detaches in Ulu Klang, Riana Green East in Wangsa Maju, Ampersand condominium in KLCC and even

During the interview, Soam shared an alternative story about what a Feng Shui master in Johor said. The master viewed that Johor is a dragon head while Singapore is a pearl in its mouth. The dragon tongue is represented by the main causeway while the second causeway is one of its fangs. The Feng Shui master said that the second fang will be the third causeway of which when completed, the state will boom. Soam says, “Feng Shui analogies aside, to me, Johor will definitely recover when the Singapore economy recovers.”

In Subang, IJM Land has Laman Baiduri condominiums, two blocks facing a lake. There are also projects in Klang, Puchong and Shah Alam 2 township.

When asked if Feng Shui is a consideration when it comes to IJM Land developments, Soam says, “No, we do not believe so much in Feng Shui but we apply best practices in our projects. For example, we design houses that face the north or south based on logic to avoid heat. IJM Land delivers practical houses that buyers want. As a developer, it is important to listen to the market demand.”

Looking down south

Attractive promotion

Soam says, “IJM Land is developing a commercial precinct that comprises of a shopping complex as well as 200 units of shop offices that will be launching end of this year.

To encourage house ownership, IJM Land ran a My Space promotional plan. The plan, which runs till end of September 2009, offers popular incentives like zero interest during construction, free stamp duty, easy payment scheme and more.

Further down south in Johor Bahru, IJM Land has recently launched Nusa Duta. The gated and guarded project occupies 127 acres freehold land next to Taman Perling.

Villa Green by Dijaya Corporation Berhad Luxury resort homes amidst lush greenery Situated in a prestigious neighbourhood and surrounded by lush greenery is Villa Green, Tropicana Indah Resort Homes. Villa Green was recently voted as Best Residential Development in Malaysia and Best in Asia Pacific Region garnering five stars rating in the Asia Pacific Property Awards 2009 by CNBC Arabiya.

Managing director of Dijaya Corporation Berhad Dato Tong Kien Onn says of the win, “We are extremely honoured to win these awards. It will reinforce our path to being recognised internationally as an innovative and quality-focused developer, setting a new bench mark for future developments by Dijaya.

Villa Green comprises of 3-storey super semidetached homes in a well managed 24 hour guarded community. Residents within this safe haven enjoy an exemplary lifestyle with its grand living spaces and well-thought features. Since its launch, 90 percent of the luxury homes are sold leaving only Bumiputera lots available.

Dijaya Corporation Berhad is no stranger to award-winning quality projects as their Tropicana Golf and Country Resort have won 1995 FIABCI Malaysian Chapter Leisure Development Award, 1997 Selangor Best Landscaped Development Competition by the state government and Best Clubhouse/Facilities by Golf Malaysia Reader’s Poll Award concurrently from 1997 to 2006.

Exquisite bearings True to its name, Villa Green is nestled between two golf courses, namely the Tropicana Golf and Country Resort as well as Seri Selangor Golf Course. There are only 86 units of these luxurious homes offered in a private community. Its prime location in Petaling Jaya places it close to wellestablished amenities like shopping centres, banks, educational institutions, retail, recreational parks, public facilities, hospitals and many more. Furthermore, it is close to a network of highways like the Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong (LDP), Sprint Highway, North Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) and Penchala Link.

Luxurious resort homes Residents at Villa Green can get a taste of luxury living with comfortable and huge living spaces. With an average built up of 6,200 sq ft these semidetached homes are larger than most bungalows, featuring eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms. 50 |

Visitors to the homes are welcomed by their grand entrance foyer and high ceilings. The dry kitchen opens to the outdoors and incorporates an island console. A five-foot wide staircase reinforces the sense of grandeur in each home. Catered to suit large families, every home has two master bedrooms. While the first master bedroom comes with an en-suite bathroom with a resort-style Jacuzzi, the second master bedroom raises the bar in indulgence as its en-suite bathroom not only comes with a Jacuzzi, but also skylight shower. Besides that, there is also an attached room that can be used as a nursery or study. Dijaya has placed extra thought by placing a pantry on the 2nd floor as well as designing a room on the ground floor for the elderly with en-suite elderlyfriendly bathroom.

Sharing quality lifestyles Dijaya’s commitment to delivering quality extends beyond the delivery of homes. Homebuyers are given a loyalty card that entitles them to property discounts as well as dining and shopping privileges.

Upcoming investment Come mid 2010, Dijaya will be launching Pool Villas, a lavish 3-storey semi-detached development that further pampers homebuyers with swimming pool and lift.

Special Focus Mah Sing

Southgate Commercial Centre by Mah Sing Group Berhad Thematic commercial district in the heart of town With its hotspot location and architectural excellence, it is no wonder that Mah Sing Group Berhad’s Southgate Commercial Centre is voted the Best Office Development in Malaysia with a five stars rating in Asia Pacific Property Awards 2009 sponsored by CNBC Arabiya. Mah Sing deputy chief operating officer Andy Chua says, “We together with our purchasers are proud to receive these awards and be recognised for our development on yet another international platform. The award also serves as a testament to the expertise and high standards of Mah Sing as a quality conscious and reliable developer in both commercial and residential developments.” The project spans five modernisque blocks that balances a mix of office suites, corporate towers and lifestyle retail outlets. Its envious location along Jalan Tun Razak/Jalan Sungei Besi draws high visibility from more than half a million passing traffic daily and is only 10 minutes away from the Kuala Lumpur City Centre. Southgate also benefits from extensive accessibility to the Mahameru Highway, BESRAYA Highway, Federal Highway, Kesas Highway, MRR2 Highway, SMART Tunnel as well as major arterial roads like Jalan Chan Sow Lin, Jalan Istana, Jalan Loke Yew and Jalan Dua. 50 |

“We believe in creating office spaces based on consumer preferences and needs whilst at the same time maintaining a strong architectural visual appeal, theme and concept which in turn propagates a new premier commercial lifestyle with a vibrant atmosphere for businesses to prosper and patrons to savour,” adds Chua.

Southgate appeal The entire Southgate Commercial Centre project comprises of three stratified retail office blocks, a Corporate Building and Apex Tower totalling a net lettable area of 599,000 sq ft. Response has been overwhelming with 90 percent of the three retail office blocks sold while its Corporate Building with a net lettable area of 232,000 sq ft has been sold enbloc. This leaves only its Apex Tower with a net lettable area of 90,000 sq ft earmarked for enbloc sale. Fused with modern contemporary design, Southgate has an urbanite atmosphere. Floor to ceiling windows mixed with clever use of glass in the building façade draws natural light. High ceilings for both its retail lots and office suites further embody classy finishing evident throughout the project.

Chua says, “The Group is targeting corporate as well as high net worth customers, including professionals, investors and entrepreneurs as Southgate is suitable for difference business ventures.” Southgate’s three retail office blocks are connected by an atrium boulevard that forms a backbone for specialty retail comprising alfresco cafes, designer boutiques and quaint kiosks. Other features of the commercial project includes high-speed wireless broadband infrastructure, smart air-conditioning system, active and passive security, and beautifully sculpted landscapes with water features. Chua opines that due to its prime address and ease of accessibility, law firms, consultancies, creative agencies, niche boutiques, food and beverages outlets as well as banks could make their home in Southgate. “Capital appreciation is expected to be very high while rental yield is forecasted to exceed eight percent per annum,” he adds. Completion of Southgate Commercial Centre is expected to be in early 2011. For more information about the award-winning project, log on to www.southgate.com.my.

Special Focus Penang

Going Green Since the last general election in 2008, Penang has taken steps to turn itself ‘green’. Not with seeds of envy, but with the planting of more than 87,939 trees from then till now.

he 1st of July marks the day Penang turned green, literally. On a more serious note, it marks the beginning of ‘No Plastic Mondays’ – a campaign launched by the state government in a bid to turn Penang into the country’s first green state.

Green Green Grass of Home The key to driving Penang towards being an international city with the potential to attract investors as the investment city of choice, is cleanliness. This belief is being carried on the shoulders of the state government as it strives to put decades of waste behind it. Aimed at transforming Penang into a preferred tourist destination (or rather, revive it to its glory days) the habitat city of choice with sustainable development and infrastructure; steps are being taken to look into the issues plaguing the island. Since the new state government took over in March 2008, various efforts and campaigns have been made to repair the green lungs which are fast becoming brown. The Penang state government recognises the need to protect, preserve and promote a lush and healthy ecological environment for the future generations. Several programs are launched to contribute towards reducing carbon emissions such as waste-reduction, tree-planting, river cleaning and integrated transportation.

River Deep One of the priorities is to start with cleaning up Penang’s infamous Sungai Pinang, reputed to be one of the seven most polluted rivers in Malaysia. The state government has engaged the help of Effective Micro-organism (EM) experts in Penang to design a proper system to clean up the river with EM technology. The past seven months have seen EM technology being proven effective during the cleaning of Sungai Kelian in Tanjung Bungah and Sungai Mas in Batu Ferringhi. Sludge which had accumulated over 20 years has disappeared, the foul odour 38 |

issue 55

has been reduced, and fishes are seen swimming in the now clear waters. Seeing the success of these two rivers, the state government is now looking towards extending the effort to Sungai Juru in the near future. Lim Guan Eng, the Chief Minister of Penang, said in a speech dated 7 August 2009 during the Symposium of EM Technology that: “A clean river system will help Penang become the first green state in Malaysia”. Looking at recent results, that seems very likely.

Bagging for change July is remembered by Americans for their independence day in the same light as how Malaysians would think of August for Merdeka. However, to Penangites July 2009 marks the beginning of an era of green-ness. It is the launch of a new ‘No Plastic Mondays’ campaign aimed to consciously reduce the use of plastic bags in supermarkets and shopping malls. Buyers and customers are encouraged to bring their own bags (preferably non-plastic), or be charged 20 sen per plastic bag requested. Seeing the positive results, the state government is considering extending the campaign to other days of the week in the coming months. Plastic bags are considered one of the most polluting types of garbage; taking long periods of time to decompose and contributing to the majority of rubbish found in rivers and along the beaches. By taking active steps to reduce the use of plastic bags, Penang may soon see the long dormant Pearl of the Orient shine once more.

“

Hill slope De-construction Despite all the effort placed by the state government to return Penang to its lush green splendour, the rape of hill-slopes continues. In July a mud slide struck Penang on the stretch of road between Tanjung Bungah and Batu Ferringhi. Last month a section of the road itself collapsed. Developers are quick to defend their actions, citing the lack of space necessary for property development. The state government maintains the need to continue developing the island to solve the problem of traffic congestion. However such actions will only hinder all that they have done to promote Penang as a green state. What would be the purpose of having clean rivers and lush greenery if all these are overshadowed by crumbling hills and roads? The state government has already drawn plans for a transport master-plan. While that is a commendable move, some say mega projects should be halted until the plan is released. With the monsoon season around the corner more landslides and collapsing roads is on the forecast.

Communal Living Penangites are a concerned lot. When asked about their opinions on the matter, many are willing to sit down and discuss it diplomatically. Most are well-informed and concerned about the steps taken by the state to amend this issue. Many hope that the state and the developers will come together to find an amicable solution, for these islanders truly love their home and wish to see it flourish once more.

Following consultation and dialogues with hypermarkets, supermarkets, mini markets, plastic manufacturers and NGOs, the ban on using plastic bags marks the serious commitment towards reducing the use of plastic bags.

Special Focus Johor

Developing Human Capital This month, we take a look at the educational and training measures being planned and established in Johor, to attract and develop the human capital needed for Iskandar Malaysia.

he lofty aims of Iskandar Malaysia will require a skilled workforce. In line with this, education is touted as one of the pillars of Iskandar Malaysia’s comprehensive development plan – both to create and/or develop the skilled workforce needed from the local populace, as well as to woo skilled workers and professionals by assuring quality education for their children.

(NUMed) and several international schools including the Cempaka International School. It is also wooing other institutions, including British boarding school Marlborough College, Swiss hospitality school Ecole hoteliere de Lausanne, the applied science faculty of Britain’s Hull University, Malaysia’s Multimedia University, and the engineering and business faculties of several foreign universities.

Educational Hub

Enthusiastic Partner

One of the primary avenues for translating this pillar into reality is EduCity, a 123.4 hectare project under Iskandar Investment Berhad (IIB). Scheduled to have enrolled 12,000 students by the time it is completed in 2018, EduCity will feature eight faculties each renowned for their medicine, hospitality, engineering, creative multimedia, creative arts and business facilities.

NUMed, for one, has voiced its position as an enthusiastic partner wishing to position Iskandar Malaysia as the ‘preferred destination’ for medical studies. The institution reportedly received an overwhelming response from international and local students since announcing its opening, and enrolled its first intake of students earlier this year. Aside from Malaysia, inquiries came in from countries such as Egypt, India, Singapore, Sri Lanka, the US and various European countries.

According to En Khairil Anwar Ahmad, IIB’s senior vice-president of education and healthcare: “Education is one of the pillars of the comprehensive development plan and our vision for EduCity is for it to become an international education destination.” This hub is planned to have a dynamic and international environment, featuring eight faculties which will share a common library and ‘International Village’ equipped with hostels, cafeterias, shops and recreational facilities. Johor is already well-stocked with institutions of higher learning, including Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and Universiti Teknologi MARA Johor (UiTM), the Kolej University Tun Hussein Onn, the Maktab Perguruan Temenggung Ibrahim teaching college, the non-profit community-based Southern College and several polytechnics and private institutions. Within Iskandar Malaysia, though, it has secured the Newcastle University of Medicine Malaysia

“

NUMed’s first two batches of 40 students each would be undergoing their first two years of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programmes in Newcastle, returning just in time for the opening of the RM300 million, 2.36ha EduCity campus in May 2011, where they would complete their third, fourth and fifth years.

Upgrading Skills and Identifying Opportunities The Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) has announced work on a Human Capital Blueprint to identify job opportunities within the economic corridor. The blueprint identifies the amount of participation needed by locals in various fields. So far, according to statistics from the Malaysian Industrial Development Authority (Mida), the corridor’s manufacturing sector has created 9,757 new jobs from 2006 to August 2008.

Education is one of the pillars of the comprehensive development plan and our vision for EduCity is for it to become an international education destination. En Khairil Anwar Ahmad, senior vice-president of education and healthcare, Iskandar Investment Bhd

Meanwhile, State Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman has also launched a ‘Program Penglibatan Anak Johor’ (Involvement of Johoreans Programme) which will focus on developing the human capital and skills for Iskandar Malaysia, which will provide 800,000 job opportunities within a period of 25 years. The programme involves two initiatives – the Iskandar Malaysia Graduate Employability and Enhancement (GREEN) Programme and the Iskandar Malaysia-CIDB Collaboration Programme.

Strategic Tie-Ups The government’s efforts at skills development are also aided by innovative measures and strategic tie-ups by companies and institutions themselves. For example, the Chief Minister singled out for special mention FMC Technologies, a US oil and gas company opening up in Gelang Patah. FMC was highlighted as a positive example of a company which, although offering only 400 new jobs, has pledged to offer technical courses through tie-ups with technical and vocational institutes. Meanwhile, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) has established a strategic link with AirAsia, for students involved in its global outreach programme to be given special travel packages to countries like England, Turkey and South Korea. The programme encompasses student exchanges, internships and academic visits to various countries. Having already sent 1,113 undergraduate students to Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United States of America, Iran, Australia, China, South Korea and the Philippines for around two weeks each, UTM has plans to send a total of 5,000 students abroad through this programme over the next year. Under this innovative program, flight tickets are discounted, and students may apply for sponsorship or make use of the university’s entrepreneurship programme to raise further funds for their trip. Hopefully, more parties will step forward with such high-profile ventures and strategic tieups, to generate and attract the human capital needed for the success and sustainability of this economic corridor.

Prim and Proper You do not need to feel like you are tackling a giant jigsaw puzzle when trying to store things away into kitchen cabinets, shelves and drawers. Here is some spiffy storage ideas for your kitchen that will get you organisedâ&#x20AC;Ś

42 |

issue 55

Home Services Kitchen Design

Lift-up cabinets

Top cabinets should have doors that lift up whenever possible. This way, it prevents accidental knocking as opposed to the types with swivel doors when the cabinet doors are open. Besides, should there be a row of cabinet side-by-side, they can all be opened at the same time, making it easier to organise things after grocery shopping.

An alternative is to have lift-up fittings that cleverly conceal kitchen appliances like a microwave.

Maximise every inch

Basket-case

Unless we live in mansions, all of us face a problem of not having enough space. This scarcity does not mean that we have to trim our kitchens. Instead, we can make use of every little bit of space we have for storing things. Get them customised to fit. Also remember to only store things you do not need to use daily in the upper cabinets!

More of a case for basket accessories for the cabinets, baskets are extremely useful to keep things well sorted. They allow you to group things together in a neat manner. Furthermore, having things grouped and sorted makes it easier to know if they need replenishing.

issue 55

Roll-out or pull-out cabinets

Cabinets that roll-out make it a lot easier to retrieve items especially when accessorised with baskets. Furthermore, there is a reduced need to bend low for a longer period of time when searching for things. If you want to take convenience up a notch higher, there is a roll-out and swivel type which rotates on an axis. Another variation is a pull-out cabinet which brings its shelved or basket content out in full view. It is very much like those pop-out books.

More drawers

Common choices are two-tiered or three-tiered drawers and according to David, they are great for storing things. To make things even neater, drawers can be accessorised with drawer organisers and trays to keep all the knives, forks, spoons, chopsticks and such in neat order. It is perfect for the obsessive compulsive.

44 |

issue 55

U-shaped drawers

Even the space under the kitchen sink can be fully utilised with customised U-shaped drawers that wraps around the bottom of the sink and its piping. Clever! According to David, it pays to get heavy duty drawers that can hold weight so that they can last longer. The drawers from Artset Design can withstand 60kg, which means that they can even hold pots and pans, lots of them!

Home Services Kitchen Design

Specialty storage areas Sadly, square bottles never really picked up which means that regular cabinets and drawers do not quite cut it to store them. Luckily, there are specialised storage cabinets that hold odd-shaped items, like bottles be they wine or seasoning.

Corner units With the right solution, corners can be fully utilised too. There are corner drawers and then there are corner accessories that pull-out, rotate or pop-out when the cabinet doors are open.

Every little thing: General kitchen tips by David, Artset Design 1. Kitchen cabinets do come with a warranty period, know what it covers! 2. White is the safest colour to select. They are easiest to match. 3. If you are stuck for ideas, look to kitchen designers for inspiration. 4. Throw junk away. Even the biggest kitchens will run out of space!

5. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the safety aspect of your kitchen. Put in safety mechanisms.

Islands

Island counters can be used to store things too! Frequently used items like toasters or cookie jars will find their home there and even draw family members to gather there. An added bonus: Island counters look classy, and that draws envy.

A special thanks to David Hong, director of Artset Design Sdn Bhd, a kitchen cabinet and wardrobe specialist for providing inspiration to the ideas on these pages. Artset Design carries imported as well as proprietary kitchen solutions.

Q: What is the cost to sell a house besides agent commission and bank penalty? Are there any other cost involved and how much are they usually? A: The seller needs to clear all payments for utilities (electricity, water and phone) up to the date of the handing over of vacant possession to the buyer. All payments to the authorities (assessment, quit rent, maintenance fees) needs to be cleared and also it is required that the seller have the title to the property failing which he is required to seek the approval of the developer to assign the property to the new buyer, the Certificate of Fitness is also required. If the property is on leasehold land then he needs to obtain or pay to obtain the state approval for the transfer of the property to the buyer. It is the buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsibility to get his lawyer to do the search and check out that the property is free from encumbrances and also prepare the sales and purchase agreement. The buyer may need a lawyer to advise him on the sales and purchase agreement prepared by the buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer but if he is well versed in such matters then he can do without having a lawyer. Even if he engages a lawyer, it is only for advice and the cost can be minimal/nominal. Q: I am interested in a career as a real estate agent. May I know what the average income is like and if it is a viable career with plenty of opportunities, even during the current economic downturn? A: It is a terrible job with lots of hard work and long hours. As with almost any other careers, there is always their fair share of office politics, unethical undercutting, fussy clients, commission cuts, deal-breaking lawyers and even Feng Shui masters looking to make quick money. It can get really messy. That said, if you can overcome all these obstacles and work hard, you can look forward to a minimum of five figures monthly income, market upturn or downturn.

Q: How much does it cost to build a bungalow? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking to build a two-storey bungalow with a built up of about 3,000 sq ft on 5,000 sq ft land area in Sungai Buloh. Am I entitled to housing loan for the land and construction fees? Are there any hidden costs that I should be aware of? A1: A building consists of two main components, the structure and the finishing. By structure, it means the concrete foundation, be it piles or just footings, columns, beams, floors, walls and roofs. For this the cost is rather standard unless the owner chose to use red bricks for the walls and imported roof tiles or if the soil requires piling works. The finishing will have a great deal of variations in such areas such as windows (anodised or powder coated) with clear glass or tinted or reflective or tempered glass, doors (material and size), floor finishing (ceramic tiles, marble, granite, solid timber or laminates), the wall finishes and cover (painting), whether rain gutters are required and if so what type; whether you need 3-phase power instead of single phase because of the heavy load expected in the electrical system, the numbers of power and lighting points, whether you require concealed wiring for a security system or a home theatre sound surround system, TV/Astro antenna, transponder wiring, telephone wiring, plaster ceiling with or without cornices. Your specification and requirements will determine the cost. Of course there are the bathroom/toilet fittings, light fittings, built-in and security grills. All in all, for a bungelow outside the grand gold plated variety, the cost is between RM150 to RM220 per square foot of built up area. If you are looking to engage a contractor to design and built make sure that you have put careful thoughts to your requirements as any variation to the contract will be charged at arbitrary rates unless a schedule of rates is agreed in the contract which is advisable as the owner may like to change some of the finishes proposed by the contractor. It is best to engage a professional to guide you to avoid expensive mistakes.

iExpert

A2: It depends on what kind of finishing you are looking at, and if you are looking at building for own stay or investment. On average, it will be from RM800K to RM1.2Mil for a bungalow of 3000sf. This should include landscaping and full interior finishes as well. The time frame to build will be about eight to 12 months, again depending on how intricate the details are. Payment is usually 30 percent upon confirmation to the main contractor, and the rest as progressive payments. Loan for land purchase varies from 80 to 90 percent margin of finance. Construction cost will be regarded as a personal loan, and in most cases, about 60 to 70 percent of total cost. However, you will need official submissions, approvals and consents for application of loan with the exception of CIMB from my last experience. Other costs should come in the form of legal charges, stamp duty, architect and submission fees and possibly renovation/construction deposit if it is a guarded area. Q: I am interested in buying a leasehold house which is a Bumiputra lot. Can I get the consent from the State as I am a Non-Bumi? It is for a five year old property. A: To answer the question let us examine the difference between ‘Malay Reserve’ and ‘Bumi Lot’ Malay Reserve is strictly for Malays only and there is absolutely no way a non Malay can own the property except through a nominee who is Malay. The origin of the Bumi Lot is the compulsory 30 percent of the developed property which a developer has to reserve for Bumiputras. In any development, once the 30 percent quota is achieved, and the titles are issued for the properties be they individual or strata, then the owners have the right to sell his/her property to any party be they Bumi or Non-Bumi. Otherwise the Bumiputras are being penalised by not having the opportunity to sell his property in the free property market. Such being the case, the State Authorities will consider and approve such transfers. The approval will be more difficult or impossible, in the situation where in the development concerned, if the properties reserved in the Bumiputra quota is not fully taken up or where the titles have yet to be issued. Q: If my wife and I want to withdraw our EPF for the purchase of a house, is it necessary for it to be under both our names?

A: Yes. In order to withdraw from both EPF accounts, the original Sales and Purchase Agreement needs to be produced. This means that both your name and your wife’s need to be in it for the EPF withdrawal to be considered. Q: What do I need to know before I buy an apartment, condo or terrace/link property? A: Issues to consider if you purchase: Apartment – has the individual title been issued. If not, is the developer holding the master title still helping to transfer the title or is the unit reserve for Bumiputra? For low cost apartment, it is not easy to take over a Bumiputra unit. Condominium - facilities and security is important as you pay maintenance fees around 0.25-0.35 per sq ft. How is the performance of the management office? Poor management will bring down the value of the condo. If the rental rate is higher than loan installment and maintenance fees, it is a good condo unit. Terrace/Link - if possible, try purchasing a freehold unit as it is easier to transact. Additionally, if you can afford it, pick the area that is gated and guarded. If the area has too many rental units, you can buy it for investment but usually it is not suitable for stay. Most properties in Petaling Jaya is okay, just avoid the ones that faces the main road. Q: Wondering if anyone knows this off hand. I live in a townhouse in Bangsar and am planning on doing some renovations. There is an island in between my house and the neighbours driveways (outside the gate), where you can do a little bit of landscaping. Who’s property is it? Mine or my neighbours? A: Look at your strata title, if it doesn’t sit within the boundary in your title, obviously it belongs to local municipality which is DBKL. To do things by the book if you want to landscape the piece of land, you have to obtain written consent from the authority concerned. iExpert is an online community driven Q&A section.

Getting the best out of the current market Property investors, sellers and buyers constantly ask themselves what is the best thing they should do in the current market. There are many options available so let us explore some of them together.

Property Buyers Take Advantage of Low Mortgage Rates and Packages With the BLR adjustment from 6.75 percent just a year ago to 5.55 percent today, this equates to 1.2 percent savings in borrowing interest. Additionally, banks and financial institutions are offering BLR – two percent and sometimes even BLR – 2.3 percent packages which make it even more attractive. Imagine borrowing at only 3.25 percent! What this means is that your monthly commitments to the banks and/or financial institutions is much lower than it was before. Attractive Packages Offered By Developers in the Primary Market Property developers today are offering exciting easy ownership packages to property buyers. The following are just some of them or a combination of:

situation seems uncertain. In better times, all these would be unheard of. Today, you practically take control of the whole property for just five percent of its value. With offers like Zero Interest during Construction, it really means that there are no additional payments from what you have made upon purchase. In other words, even if in the next few months one should lose their job for instance, they will not need to lose the property they have purchased under this programme. Having said that, you will still need to do your research to ensure that you are purchasing at market prices and more importantly from reputable developers.

When we look at property investment, we have to always remember that property investment is for cash flow and for the long-term

• Free Legal Fees on Sale & Purchase Agreement and Loan Agreement • Free Stamp Duty on Memorandum of Transfer • Zero Interest During Construction Period • Guaranteed Rental Return upon Vacant Possession of the Property (instant returns upon VP) • 5/95 – only five percent downpayment and nothing more till the property is completed • Some packages even include the servicing of mortgage for the purchase for the 1st year upon Vacant Possession.

For property selection, it is always good practice to go back to the standard rule of selection.

These are all designed to allay the fears of uncertainties from the minds of buyers especially over the next year or two when the market

• Developer’s track record – Branding • Team of consultants behind the project • Unique features, Layout and Quality of Finishings • Price and Packages • Maintenance charges (Strata properties) • Car park facility • Selection and Choice of Units • Timing of Purchase It also depends on the perceived value of the property to you and your investment appetite. The question of whether to buy still goes back to the fundamentals which are firstly to determine what the purpose of the purchase is. This is still the key question. Investors/buyers, they need to be clear on these three matters: 1) What is the purpose of the purchase 2) Investment / Purchasing Criteria 3) How they intend to finance the purchase Different properties would suit the different purpose and criteria of purchasers.

Hedge against inflation Property investment is commonly perceived to be a good hedge against inflation. We want to at least be in a position where the value of our money is maintained if not improved with our investments. Property offers protection against loss of purchasing power resulting from rising prices of goods and services to the extent that your equity increases in value at a rate at least equal to or greater than inflation. Research has shown that property values have generally increased at a faster rate than the rate of inflation hence property investments have provided a hedge against the effects of inflation on your return. This has always been the fundamental quality of property.

Two of the most common catalysts for buying properties abroad are the desire for better weather conditions and of course, the stronger British Pound.

What makes Malaysia such an attractive place to live?

European countries like Portugal, Spain, France and Italy are usually the most popular destinations that UK residents will look at as they are practically neighbours. However, the dwindling might of the British Pound against the Euro dollar makes these destinations more expensive than they were.

Malaysia My Second Home This brings us to Malaysia, a great overseas alternative which has diverse cultures, lovely tropical weather, fantastic beaches, cosmopolitan cities and more. Additionally, efforts from the Malaysian government through their Tourism Malaysia vehicle are actively promoting a Second Home Programme known as Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) that makes it easy for foreigners to make the country their second home. MM2H is one of the most attractive long term stay visa programmes in Asia which is why many have already made the choice to retire or spend extended periods in Malaysia. Since 2002, there have been more than 10,000 participants in the MM2H programme. Participants come from countries such as China, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and Pakistan.

• Strong economy. It is one of the region’s richest countries. • Quality of life. Developed infrastructure. Full of natural beauty and of course, the weather’s great. • Low cost of living. This is especially attractive for those considering retirement as they benefit from the weaker RM to the Pound. • Wonderful beaches and vibrant cosmopolitan cities. • Diverse activities and award-winning golf courses. • Great transportation infrastructure with highways and public transport. • World class healthcare and medical facilities. • Wide usage of English. There are even English language newspapers, radio and television. • There are various tax incentives such as tax-free car import and no capital gains tax on property. • The legal system is based on the British system so there is nothing too unfamiliar to contend with. What attracts the British mostly to Malaysia is the all year round tropical weather, the low cost of

living, the laid-back lifestyle, wonderful food and the friendly people. A quote from one expat: “Life is a pleasant dream again. It might not be Nithsdale, but Malaysia has the same qualities — stunning scenery and friendly people, but with the added bonus of year-round wonderful weather. There is a huge ex-pat community here and I feel right at home. I can’t imagine leaving this wonderful country for a long time to come.”
