    If you making the false ceiling space very near to the concrete ceiling, make sure all the holes in the wall leading the the exterior wall are properly covered well with no gap. Because if a roof rat gets into your false ceiling, you have no way to catch it or remove it without opening up your false ceiling. This is especially so since you are not staying there permanently or regularly.

    House renovation is definitely more expensive because one has to spend on both the interior & the exterior which includes landscaping works & buying the softscape ie. ornamental plants & shrubs, trees, etc. Exterior structures like decking, pavilion, children's playground equipment.
    Also, house owners must learn DIY & use power tools such as power washer, lawnmower, tree trimmers to maintain their house in tip top condition. And exterior house painting is a must every 5-7 years to protect house from weather deterioration & from sun damage.
    Inflation & labour costs are the 2 things which are going up over time. Getting more expensive over the years to maintain a landed property.
    For this reason, better to get a unit instead (ie. condo or apartment). A huge development with many condo owners has the economies of scale - many unit holders contributing to the cost of maintenance.

Important well managed and maintained. If staying high units got very nice breath taking view of JB city. Also surrounded by many banks, makan shops and big hypermarkets I once stayed landed house got no facilities neighbour mostly keep to themselves. Condo living after work, family/grandchildren can go gym, swimming, play tennis, basketball etc. No discrimination is individual/family preference and what you choose is right. Tks.

    Oh dear, some one said Mr Loo bought the resale house (not as a first buyer direct from developer). Then previous owner got rid of the hot potato and horrible mistake. Sold it to Mr Loo. And made a profit. If such 100% redo of the house is needed. It means resale house was in BAD condition. Spending a mountain of money (in addition to paying for the house) is not smart. When Johor has many tens of thousands of brand new completed UNSOLD houses, that Mr Loo can choose from. It is a horrible SCAM to trick and rip off Singaporeans. The developer is unchanged regardless of whether house is resale or first buyer.

Check whether it is a temporary letter of intent (that some day .... maybe developer/Malaysia Govt will issue you a title deed). Also check whether it is a Certificate of Title only ( this is NOT the Title Deed!!!!!). Foreign buyers of JB property always get ripped off. I feel sorry for Mr Loo. Pour in so much $$$ have to almost redo the whole house. In my opinion he got conned. Developer should sell house ready to move in condition. You only need to buy furniture and home appliances.

    Not being negative for the sake of saying bad things. But want to point out pitfalls. In case stupid people lap it all up. Without knowing the dangers. And they rush in to buy JB property. Only to be badly burned later. Of course to a salesman who is praising JB property highly, this is considered negative and non-constructive. This is other people's life savings that we are talking about. So should be more respectful and ethical. One more thing. The trees outside a person's house are by the side of the street. They are STATE property of Johor. They do not belong to the house owner. He has NO right to cut them down without official approval. This is not one's grandfather's country. The Singaporean house buyer is in Malaysia, a foreign country.

      First of all, I am not a sales man pushing any Malaysian property cos I don’t have any house to sell nor do I benefit from anyone buying Malaysian property.
      Second, this is a private estate. Not State owned. Trees outside the house belong to house owner.

    Just some suggestion, u can create a porch/shade to dry clothes at the back of your kitchen/house(i stay in a bungalow & that where we normally dry our clothes).. it’s an eyesore to hang clothes at the side or front part of house
