Sean, next time if you have an opportunity to drop by Penang, can you have a review for the Setia Fontaines..... I think this is another interesting township development in Northern Corridor.
Hi Sean Love your videos! We find them SUPER helpful, especially your tip on checking out the refuse chamber. Hoping you take request as we want to hear your thoughts on Marinox Sky Villas and The Tamarind in Penang. Stay safe over there!
Yupe!!!! Hahahaha. Went a little aggressive on it but can you recommend me any platforms where I can also have the keys to the coins? I've just started using Luno but I don't have access to the keys. Anyway, thanks for watching!!
@@iherng weird, yt keeps deleting my reply...probably because of words that comment scam bots use... 3rd try: Binance/Kraken/huobi/coinbase/Gemini (All those let you withdraw your coins, although I do not know if those are available in Malaysia) If you have further questions about trustworthy and helpful yt channels or wallets let me know, I am happy to help.
Finally a video on this prop. I planned to own before but I give up due to lease hold issue. What your take for a million house with lease hold title? Further more, even Penang government push for development but it lack of primary and secondary school which owner will hv to travel a distance from that area until future when there is nearby school.
@@viclee4417 hmm my understanding buyer sign petition to convert but pending approval. My understanding convert to freehold will need federal government approval and take long process. Maybe I outdated.
Well you're right Steven. That's often the argument when we build townships. Do houses come first? Or schools come first? Do stay tuned for a tour to follow up this video as I explained masterplanning process using this township. It's gonna be epic. Anyhow, the land conversion thing is looking positive so far:) "hush hush
@@coughKidd this “sold out” term some time is their trick. However it might be sold out. Anyway, As far as I know, sometime developer do keep certain % to sell later for better price or they assign to agency. If I recall correctly IQI Realty is one of their assign agency.
Well it really depends on where my workplace is. If I'm still focusing on producing videos at home and I have the choice of flexibility, this would be a bit more attractive. But if I'm working in the island, it's gonna be pretty tough to go through the traffic everyday.
Hi Yoges, I've checked out the Co-Home at Eco Grandeur and they are pretty similar. This is the link : ua-cam.com/video/SL6UnSXUlM8/v-deo.html Thanks for watching yea=)
Fun fact 1+ hr from farlim to bayan Lepas per journey during peak hours Vs 20 minutes at the expense of rm5.80 toll fees, time or money? Some what if the lrt construction is ongoing, imagine the traffic.
Wah rm1mil! Pricing not bad, but Penang Island people, they will think from George town to Batu ferringhi is like a distance of KL to Klang. Drive 30mins already say, wah very far leh.....
Yes Laura. There will a fee known as maintenance fees that we need to pay to the maintenance office. But this only includes strata titled properties such as high rise and gated and guarded communities like this one. Residents won't need to pay maintenance fees if they are staying in those conventional individual titled terrace houses. Hope that clarifies. Also, thanks for watching!!
Would it be landed or highrise? But generally Pr1ma housing are highrise, and we have done lots of such videos before. Do let me know further yea Janice.
@@iherng yup, it s a high rise... Apartment with no balcony... Since makeover guys didn't take up mlk projects 😭, really need some inspiration for my new unit.
Owh I see. Yea our team has not venture over to that area yet unfortunately. Well, you can always check out our work at our social media pages since all apartments are pretty similar.
That's why I always believe that real estate is a very micro element for the community. It's always relative to the lifestyle of the locals. Hence, I tried my best not to implement my KL thinking while reviewing this property. Great point Sam=)
Sean, would it be possible to review garden homes type 3b or 3c at eco forest, semenyih? Am considering to get a unit there and would love to see what you think about it
Erm, I don't think I'll be there anytime soon since I've just reviewed their ergohome not long ago. But what's more important is your intention for the property. If it's for ownstay, do run the weekend weekday theory. Always remember, make informed decisions and take calculated risks=)
leasehold on malay reserve land vs leasehold on open market land malay reserved is supposed to pay less upon renewal? but the appreciation may not be ideal? please clarify this, shern
It's definitely honest, hahaha!! Generally developers will engage me to produce such reviews to be discussed with audiences like yourself, but they don't get to dictate what I say in the video. And it's also incredible on the developer side to promote my videos that have negative points about their product and that demonstrates their transparency. Not all developers are comfortable with a 3rd person like me walking around criticizing their projects. They would rather just hire pretty people to read scripts:) Slowly but surely, I'm super glad that developer are starting to embrace transparency in their communication and it's definitely beneficial for everyone. Thank you so much for bringing this up!!
@@iherng Hi Sean. Thanks for clarifying! Although I am still new to your channel and have just viewed a few of your videos, I like what you are doing and sharing. I think the content, your narration and comments are useful as well as entertaining. I have subscribed and liked your videos to support you and look forward to your future uploads. You are well on the way to be the Malaysian version of Graham Stephan who made millions from UA-cam. Cheers!
@@iherng yes Sean! Getting my key this weekend. I bought an office vacation home here out of emotional with very little investment mind. But it's a growing township, say 50% of the potential already factored into the price, and another 50% to grow. With the new names in the BKIP, last phase that comprise 1400unit cluster unit in Dawson may not be able to cater the demand, there goes my exit plan in case I am broke. Hahaha
@@iherng you are welcomed to drop by my unit for another extensive review on type 1/2. Perhaps once the clubhouse is ready by May that would be even better.
Everyone is looking for that Ryan. And when everyone is looking for it, do you think there'll be such products available at that price? Plus what's your definition of ulu ulu?
@@iherng subsale. Ppl always think of buying new houses. But a real story of my brother.. he regretted so much for buying new landed house as it's more pricey and smaller in size compared to subsale. He could have gotten a bigger + good condition (fully renovated) house at a same price. But he didn't do enough homework before buying. Now he has to fit his family into the smaller hse + fork out money to renovate his "small" house. There's always gem in subsale / lelong. We just need to be patient and do more research. Some old ppl want to sell their hse bcoz all their children is married / oversea. They have a decent hse, fully furnished. Ready to let go at a bargain.
Well because the length of the house is shorter, this is the best fit to maximize the area so every room can enjoy en-suite bathrooms=) But I do agree it's not the best, but I enjoyed the ceiling height and the window above the stairs!
@@iherng I like the 2 ceiling height windows on the root top which enable natural sunlight to shine in a normally insufficient brightness concern for a terrace link house but Eco World has resolved it beautifully and innovatively. The workmanship quality, layout design and finishing touch are another careful thought by Eco World to just let the owners to add on or plug in the subsequent appliances / facilities without a waste in any hacking or modification. This is a good customer experience for buying property from a branded developer who has taken care customers' needs thoroughly. The sub-sale price of any Ashton FREEHOLD units will easily command more that a million in view of a quality layout design house and serene compound which is hardly found in Penang . As the feedback from happy owners, they are now becoming the king maker to mark up the price above 1 million since it is too "sayang" to let go at a lower price ...
I know I'm in the extreme minority, but it's kind of disturbing that one's house can only look almost exactly or exactly like all other houses in the area, and not even the colour can be different. It's kind of robotic and conformist living, a bit like Soviet Union standardised apartment blocks. Perhaps most people nowadays don't care about how their houses look on the outside and it's all about internal comforts and amenities? Anyway, good video as always.
Hahaha. There's nothing wrong with that Ken. You can always go for the conventional individual title houses. But it can also be disturbing that your neighbour can turn into whatever they want, and the arguments always revolves around the party wall *shared wall. Also, the uniform looks only applies to the facade. Owners can still do up whatever they want in their interiors. This is just a rule adapted from the original strata act that was designed to govern apartments back in the 80's. Thanks for sharing yea!! I really appreciate it=)
@@iherng Haha. I'm an older guy. Already long had the non-strat landed. Never seen any too weird renovations in my area or next door, so quite lucky. For the SL houses should at least allow some different colour to the facade, some light/pastel colours. Adds a bit of aesthetic to the neighbourhood. Btw - if you do come across any unique apartment project that does extensive soundproofing of each unit (not just from exterior apartment noise, but noise from other adjoining units) do make an episode. Would be very interested to look into it. Thanks for all your efforts.
Yupe. Sound proofing is the next thing that users will pursue definitely. I just invested on sound proofing for my own room haha. Anyway, you're fortunate to have responsible neighbours. I have seen a full purple house right next to red one.😅 Thank you so much for sharing yea!!
@@iherng Haha. I don't mind colourful houses (but not intruding extensions). Some of my favourite cities/town centres can be found in Prague, Colmar, Bamberg, Amsterdam..and the old houses/buildings there are colourful and distinctive in a very elegant way. I'm extremely sensitive to sound, so the only viable soundproofing in a terraced house is to build a soundproof room within a regular room (some people will say a 'tomb'). If I could go back and redo things, I'd work much smarter, get more $$$ and buy a bungalow in more affordable area instead.
Sean is really a good UA-cam Creator, can watch him do videos in Penang, Sarawak, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Johor. Rush up rush down

Hahahaha. Thanks for watching Bonus hahaha=)
What is your though Sean. Which one will u choose, high rise at Penang island or this one over mainland
Well it really depends on where my workplace is. If I'm still focusing on producing videos at home and I have the choice of flexibility, this would be a bit more attractive. But if I'm working in the island, it's gonna be pretty tough to go through the traffic everyday.
