Hi cleve,

Welcome to this forum. I do agree that the trip to kl is a bit long (45 mins) but nowadays anywhere u go also need to take at least 30 mins drive. So get used to it. But if u go to damansara or sunway, then it's a short drive (depend on traffic too BUT at least nearer compared to other places).

How many units left at the meranti jaya ph3? Cause the last time i heard was 3 units left.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply and comments.
Appreciate much.

Any idea when the Putrajaya-KL link will be completed? Is the construction started yet? Or I have to wait till 10 years later?

Last weekend I went, got 4 units left. Coz 1 unit, loan got rejected.

Oh ya, 1 most important question to ask, is Putrajaya-KL link need to pay toll?

Oh ya, 1 most important question to ask, is Putrajaya-KL link toll based or free?

Actually I had heard from the sales ppl saying that need to pay around RM100 for the maintenance...quite expensive ler.

How bad was the flood last year? That was due to developer's problem rite? I really hope it won't happen again.

Seriously, really like the house and the price is ok with me.

1 more concern...the light industrial area just beside that. Sad

Wow Banjir, you are really champion...so many info you have.
Thanks for that.

Aiya, the flood was very bad arr...how ler, dunno should buy or not.
Developer problem due to poor planning/construction of drainage system or
just the rubbish being thrown into the drain? If poor planning of drainage system then it's more serious than the rubbish issue. Rubbish can be clean anytime.

honman, mind to tell which unit you taken?

Just check out the map.
Correct me if I am wrong, although KL-Putrajaya highway is free, but in order to reach the Putrajaya interchange from Taman Meranti Jaya, still have to pay the LDP toll to reach the interchange?

Yeah, no.
I am staying at Jln Kuching rite now.
Looking for a landed property but it's very expensive near KL area, so have to find in puchong. Been check out Bukit Jelutong also, very expensive and heavy traffic jam at federal highway

Actually I tried to find the interchange that you mention from google map. I guess it's not updated so cannot find any info. From the KL-Putrajaya highway map, the interchange should be in the south part of TMJ. So was wondering how to get to the interchange from Putra Perdana since it's in the west of TMJ.

Are you sure it's just near (less than 5km) to TMJ from the exchange? If yes, I will place the booking Smile

Thanks.

Wah ! so far away.....by the way, the developer will launch the phase 3 second batch later with higher price & better material used....

Cleve · Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 23

Yeah, the sales guy told me the same.
The estimated price is + 10k and no more 30k promotion. So difference will be 40k for the "better material used". Worth? Rolling Eyes

Actually I am trying to hold the unit first and compare with the new launch of phase 3B. Hopefully they will launch it soon.

What do you mean by VP?

Actually haven't check out Bandar Puteri yet. I heard the house there are quite expensive. But Bandar Puteri is just a about 3 to 4 KM nearer to KL only.

VP = Vacant Possession....handover of house to buyer after completion...

Bandar Puteri is at the prime location of puchong....this is actually the major reason for it's high price.....and the price is keep on going up after the commercial lots keep on mushrooming.....there is people said Bandar Puteri will over take Taipan & almost reach it....imagine new launch Olivia 2 storey developer price is already RM430k above Shocked

..but still there is people willing to pay for......Will Bandar Puteri really turn up become another Subang Jaya ??? This is really arguable.....

Another impact I forsee is the LRT impact....right now, we do not know the exact location of LRT route and station.....and once confirm, the nearby property will fetch higher price as I see....this may be the second wave of pushing the price higher .....

.....more and more ppl now come in from KL/PJ to buy property in Puchong, after the property hit higher and higher in PJ/KL/Damansara, now, Puchong suddenly become a favourite place within these few years......I remember few year back, when I first move to Puchong, the sentiment of buying property here is not so high....still, developer here will often advertise to sell off the house.....but now, developer not even need to advertise so much, ppl come in investigate themselves.......only those cannot sell off so fast, the developer still need to advertise in paper....

Place even leasehold like Lake edge in Puchong, 2 storey minimum all above 400k, amazingly developer also manage to get the sales by good reputation, design, landscape, etc........sign

Frankly speaking, the freehold land in Puchong really not much....and it is good to buy in freehold when still got chance....after these freehold land become lesser and lesser, the price for freehold here will become higher and higher.....

....I did calculation before on the price different before, I found that Bandar Puteri is about 50k higher than the house at Taman Puchong Utama (3km distance) and 100k higher than TPP/TMJ......Just 2 cents.

Yeah, I agree with you. Bandar Puteri is a prime location in Puchong.

At you staying at Bandar Puteri now?

I just checked out IOI website and notice Nadia Terrace, same land size with TMJ 3A, but build up is only 2,628 sq. ft. whereas TMJ build up area > 3000 sq. ft., the price starts from RM468k. 60k difference. From the sample photos .://..myioi.com/properties/actualshots_Nadia.htm, I saw that the design is quite nice, both living room and dinning room looks spacious.
Unfortunately, can't go and see it. I had sent an email to their sales, but until now still no reply yet. I need to check are there any available units so I will have more alternative rather than TMJ.
