Buying a property in Malaysia can be an exciting yet nerve-wrecking journey especially if you are a first-time homebuyer as there are many factors to consider before you finally make up your mind to secure your dream home for the next 10-20 years.
From picking the area to finalising the price, searching for the ideal property might take more time than you think. However, if you are looking to invest or buy a property at Putra Heights, here are 5 things that would help make you make the right decision.
1. Location
If you are buying a property for you and your family, the environment of the community and nearby townships are important aspects to consider.
A strategic location will not only be convenient for you to get basic necessities, but it will also have a higher return on investment.
Putra Heights is a mature and big freehold township with peaceful living environments, and less traffic congestion. On top of that, it is just a stone’s throw away from Subang Jaya and Puchong.
Serasi Residences @ Putra Heights Sentral, a project by Sime Darby Property, is located at the center of Putra Heights, being within a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) where it is only 400m away from Putra Heights LRT Station, the connecting interchange station for Kelana Jaya and Seri Petaling line.
The walkway to the LRT stations will also be covered so that you can walk there, be it rain or shine.
It is the first phase of Putra Heights Sentral offering modern versatile homes with 3 practical and functional layout and sizes.
The residences are located nearby a 7-acre Linear Park that has plenty of natural green spaces with a walking trail along Bukit Cermin.
Your budget determines the property you are planning to get as the monthly repayments will definitely be one of your major monthly expenses.
2. Price
Your budget determines the property you are planning to get as the monthly repayments will definitely be one of your main monthly commitments.
It is also recommended that your monthly repayment should not occupy more than 30% of your monthly household income in order to maintain a positive cash flow and be sufficient for your daily expenses.
Therefore, if you are a first-time homebuyer with a monthly household income of more than RM6,000, the Serasi Residences is a good choice for you as the starting price is only RM380,000 for a 2 bedroom unit.
If you have a higher budget and want to enjoy a resort-style living experience when you retire, the newly launched The Serenade at The Glades by Sime Darby Property is definitely a top pick as it is located in one of the most prestigious gated and guarded residential enclaves in Putra Heights, Subang Jaya.
In terms of security, The Serenade also features a 24-hour security system, a single gated & guarded exit, electrified perimeter fencing and CCTV surveillance for a worry-free living experience.
Besides that, the development has a strong emphasis on sustainability where it has an Automated Waste Management (AWCS), Centralized Water Filtration System and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) System.
It also has excellent connectivity and accessibility to commercial hotspots, hospitals, international schools like the Kingsley International School along with public transportation hubs while surrounded by other mature townships.
3. Transportation
Running errands and daily work commute is a hassle when living in a high dense and congested area. A property that provides you easy access to public transportation is definitely a plus point when considering your dream home as no one would want to get stuck in the traffic on a daily basis.
As for The Serenade, it is less then 5 minutes away from the Subang Alam LRT Station from The Glades main entrance.
4. Amenities
The amenities of a property is crucial as not only does it encompass the building itself, but the development, facilities and amenities that are available within the community as well.
The Glade has 30% lush green overall, which is 10% more than the standard requirement.
Besides, it also has the perfect match for versatile living with a resident-only Waterfront Clubhouse that offers exclusive facilities such as a 50m Olympic-size infinity pool, jacuzzis, saunas, tennis courts, gym, yoga studio and more.
As for Serasi Residences in Putra Heights Sentral, you can gain access to several amenities located just minutes away such as the Putra Heights mosque, Putra Heights Linear Park, and Putra Point Commercial Centre.
5. Developer
Last but not least, developers play an important factor when it comes to choosing a property. Established property developers like Sime Darby Property will offer you a more comprehensive and worry-free buying experience. A developer with a good track record will ensure that quality is maintained and well taken care of.
