Inspecting your new property is crucial to identify defects before moving in. Gather necessary tools and check walls, ceilings, tiles, floors, doors, windows, fixtures, electrical points, and pipes. The inspection may take 1.5 to 2 hours. Addressing issues early can prevent further complications and ensure a smoother transition to your new home.
The article emphasizes that successful property investment should begin with purchasing a home for personal use, rather than aiming for quick profits. It advises against overstretching finances and highlights the importance of thorough due diligence. Slow and steady investment builds wealth while reducing risk, contrasting with the pitfalls of speculative buying.
Briefly, en bloc sale meant the collective sale of all the units within the development to one developer / new owner and all the owners will collectively get a portion of the sale of the whole block or blocks. For many developed property markets, en bloc sale also meant that as long as a certain majority number of owners willing to sell is reached, then sale becomes a certainty.

Mah Sing pays RM260 million for land within KLCC. How big is this piece? Land is definitely the best real estate investment. One main reason?
According to the chart, the total transactions are actually growing. In fact it is only growing slowly from 2022 to 2023 and from 2023 to 2024. Some can interpret this as a recovery. Some could interpret this as positive for the property market. Some could also interpret this growth as a very slow growth. My personal interpretation is that the market has not reached the attention of enough buyers. In other words, a lot more potential buyers may not know that the total transactions has started to increase.
Good news for some owners I guess when they read this piece of news. “Klang Valley property prices up 3.2% in 2024: Upscale neighbourhoods in Batu district lead the way.” Klang Valley is huge of course and maybe not all areas may show prices rising. In fact average number do not reflect anything much yeah.
Perhaps some areas are showing double digits increase and some areas are showing low single digit price increase. Perhaps some are even showing a negative number; prices are reducing every passing year. Anyway, let’s look at what the media says.
Too many people have told me that property investment is too risky. They also have no time to read so many articles in kopiandproperty.com and it just take too much time and effort. They are right. Property investment, if we want to start does require a big capital. Please do not believe to much about no need downpayment etc. That downpayment has to come from somewhere. Usually, it comes from the buyer, somewhere and somehow even if the buyer did not have to fork out that downpayment.
Not everyone loves to buy a property. Many of my friends remain “propertyless”. Many of them are doing fine and I think with or without a property, they are able to earn enough even post-retirement. In fact one have earned so much that she has retired a few years ago and she was not even 50 then. One failed to get a refinance recently despite showing the bank that she is the owner of three fully paid properties. Reason is because she does not have a stable salary. Well…
People ask me what is happening to the local property market. Beyond just our property transaction numbers (which is high and rising), I tell them to look at what’s happening overseas for their reference. If all the advanced property markets are now showing that no one wants to buy a property, then that would also be happening in Malaysia in the near future. If you know of such markets, please do let me know too. I would like to read more as well.
Sorry. If it could be made cheap, it’s not possible to be luxurious. The only reason people buy luxury items is for the brand and not just because of the quality yeah. The only reason why people are willing to buy an overpriced property could also be due to the fact that they love that brand too. So, if an advertisement for a property says cheap and luxury, please buy with the understanding that you will get what you pay for.
