Project Name: Bukit Residence (Residensi Bukit Kecil)
Location : Bukit Mertajam, Penang
Land Tenure: Freehold
Indicative Price: RM500,000 onwards
Property Type : 2 & 3-Storey Terrace
Developer : Tambun Indah
Location Map:
3str at 550k is quite attractive. How many units left?
How come the built up area is so small one? Not that I anti this developer, but I found that tambun indah is quite kedekut when it comes to spacious of the house. Their other project also like that.
Stated above is land area, built up is more than 2500sq ft for 3str.
20×45 is abit small.
Standard build up area should be 20x70ft
They are not just kedukut but they are one smart developer which fully maximize the land to profits. This developer is unethical and they only meant to build houses which is low quality and small spaces house, and by end of the day all that matters to them is the profit.
@HH
Got built up of 20x70ft in this market meh?very hard to dind leh..If got,please recommend.
**to find**
I think TuTunelling think that this is shop house for sales, haha.
hope this place is not chicken farm area or foreigners village like most of their other projects
Am I wrong or administrator error??? This development name is BUKIT Residence? I think all of their previous projects is in english. Why they not use RESIDENCE HEIGHTS like one of their previous project name Juru Heights (Bukit Juru) ?
Is this property above the hill?? Or just simply a name?
@enguin
pavilion park city type B is 20ft. x 78ft.
wow, 2 ST terrace need 500k++ nowaday. Taman nearby Song Ban Keng road will be a golden egg later.
please make urself clear between build up and land area. duhhhhhh
Any scheme? e.g waive all the fees
This project is like for testing the market response. TI has so many hse at pearl city, all sold out oledi? Financially strong for another project?
Overpriced..terrace for 500k.
Wow, 500k for a DST in mainland? Pearl City area only ranging at early 400k for now. Maybe this Bukit Residence is a lower dense gated residential, total 100+ units only…worth to buy?
This area is called Bukit Kecil, or “Chia Pa” (sugar cane bush) in Hokkien. It is next to old taman called Taman Bukit, and newer taman called Taman Bukit Kecil. That’s why Tambun Indah names it Bukit Residence. It’s not a hilly area.
It is also next to Orange Villa by Tah Wah. I believe all the kampung houses will be cleared for development in the future, and Bukit Residence will be connected to Keow Kuang school & Tambun Indah’s own BM Residence.
Tambun Indah is definitely financially strong at the moment. I guess the 3ST will be at least RM650k. Orange Villa buyers should be happy.
@Kee
I think Happy Seller got my point. Please differentiate between build up and land area.
Kee, i think market very rare to find this 20×78 ft built up.If got this kind of build up, is really worth to buy because the length size(78ft) almost same with very big bungalow house already. By the way where is Pavilion Park City, might check on it of the build up size , location and the price.
This project worth buying. In couple of years to come, how much do you think such low dense G&G will cost? Will it drop below current selling price of half mil?
design almost same like BM Highland. Any facility provide?
@Kee
@enguin
Another “duhhhh” >.<….. Pavilion Park City type B 20×78 is LAND area, not BUILD-up.
Pavilion Park City, 20 X 78 is the land area for sure. Happy Seller and enguin are right.
Some don’t know how to differentiate between land area and built-up area.
If 20 x78 is the built-up for terrace house, it’s not practical, how the sunlight and wind going to reach center of the house ? Very dark and heaty lah at center portion.
Do this project (Bukit Residence) offers any SnP, Loan legal fee and Stamp duty waiver and any discount/rebate, etc ?
Sorry back to main topic, RM500k above with only 20×45 built-up (in fact 6000mm width is only 19.68ft), kinda hard to accept, for me lah…
I want to wait for Sunway Wellesley. The townhouse is 26′ x 80′, price <500k
Sunway property less than 500K? U sure boh? U thought the taukeh otak rosak?
Sunway Wellesley is 4 storey Townhouse, 2 storey already more than 500k. 4 storey already more than 1 million.
So this property is not too bad right?
That is true, but again the sunway location is closer to AEON. So, the developer is selling at sky high price.
@CK_100, AEON will move to Alma soon in 2015 whereby the site is under progress aggressively just opposite the Tesco Alma…
Location wise should consider quite strategic and neighborhood looks promising as well. Gated guarded with facilities in BM are within this price nowadays.
What is the selling price? Launch already? anyone knows?
Just for info, Sunway Wellesley is 3-Storey Townhouse. 1.5-storey each. Thx.
Just wonder if the town house concept will work at mainland?! I know it was quite a lot at KL.
@ck_100
Sunway Wellesley : 1.5-storey DST with “half” lot or rather said “shared” car park with another house lord, can only accommodate for 1 car only in front of the house, am I right? Thinking about paying >500k for that unit, I wonder who is willing to buy.
Noe sure Sunway Wellesley but some townhouse has long front and back 2 cp space.
I believe so, more details as below
https://www.penangpropertytalk.com/2013/07/sunway-wellesley-phase-2-residential/
seem like a good location. anyone book any units?
I have booked a 3 storey terrace. Honestly not much left as mostly taken up by the business associates of the developers and early birds. Almost all corner units already taken up.
I am booking receipt collector,please snap the copy of official booking receipt if you don’t mind.
@YSTan
Hi u buy for own stay? Good for investment?
@YSTan
How much did you pay?
I buy for own stay. Price will up around CNY time frame according to sales person (as usual). Same like Pegasus, the price published now already up 20k compared to a month ago when i inquire the price at ngp office.
Hi YS how much is the 3ST? Any rebate or scheme? It is North or South facing?
Just placed corner unit booking at simpang ampat office, not many units left better grab fast if u really interested. No special scheme as of now, only SnP legal fee bare by TI.
@GSE
Guess you book the corner unit near to security checkpoint?
@YSTan, yup….not many choices left for corner unit. We going to be neighbour soon
Which unit u bought?
@GSE
I bought in the lot closer to the facilities. Wanted to buy corner too bad mostly reserved by the biz partners. I visit the site, location looks good, they are clearing the site now which believe was a bushes previously.
@YSTan
Agreed, I like the location very much. I missed the opportunity to buy Airmas project 5 years ago but fortunately bought a condo in island which the price alomost double up right now. Hopefully we made the right choice and I believe taman bukit is a ideal living place.
Good for you @GSE. Yes, for family stay should look comfortable. Surrounding looks like a place for family stay rather than occupy by empty houses.
Prime location
what is your purchase price ,property type & any incentive given?
Still got any unit left?
I’m pretty sure there are still units available as they are build ~ 100 unit houses for this project. So, do check out with sale office.
location wise I believe should be good as got primary & secondary school nearby. Furthermore got shop lot development project opposite KFC area.
@ck_100
Totally agree.
Check in tambun indah webpage the ground work has started.
So, have you booked any unit?
Considering. Do you book a unit there? What do you think of this property? Mind to share?
@ck_100
Still considering. Did you book a unit? How do you think of this property?
I’m still considering, as mentioned early its location is good. But I’m not sure if there is any road exit via orange villa or makahmah? or need to exit via road beside KFC? do you have any idea?
@ck_100
Currently I think no but not sure about the future plan. Probably can check with developer. Did you ask how many units left and the selling price? They official launch already? I call twice but no answer.
According to my understanding, this project not yet official launch. But buyer can start booking already. The starting price is ~ RM 520k onward and pretty sure still got a lot of units.
No road for this project to access to Orange Villa. The enterence to this Bukit Residence is very narrow and all are old fassion terrace house. Pls pay a visit to it. Orange Villa is direct access to Jalan Betek and SongBangKheng. Orange Villa is 1 class higher grade.
@OrangeBuyer
Funny. 1 class higher grade???
I mean better in class
@OrangeBuyer
You can’t compare apple with orange. Orange is higher price while Bukit Residence price is more competitive. But using road access to decide which is more ‘high class’ is a lame example.
Can’t blame this him, he is 1 class higher…..but 2 class lower in mentality.
Actually both Bukit Residence n Ov are located at prime location. Dunno y he said 1 class higher o what. Maybe he is one of the owner of OV. However for those people staying at BM, they know that Taman Bukit is one of the ideal living place.
@BM lang
Agree. Btw BM lang did you book a unit? I called to developer they said it is selling fast, but not disclose how many units have been booked.
perhaps @OrangeBuyer thought OV2 is more expensive then correlated it to be more higher class?!
I believe price wise, Bukit Residence is more competitive than OV2. pls correct me if i’m wrong.
@Chris
Yes. Going to book as I can see no more other development in that area d. I know that lots units are booked.
Hi BM lang, so this one is selling fast & hot again?! btw, do they have the hard copy spec ready for this project? As was told that the spec is not yet finalized?
@ck_100
I check with the salesperson the plan already submitted but it is in preview stage, not official launch yet hence no hard copy brochure available. Not sure if the spec is fully finalize but since they already clear the ground work which already obtain approval from land office, I think the plan is pretty much there.
@Chris
Thx for info! so which type you are going to book? 2.5ST (type A), 2ST (Type B) and 2ST (Type C)?
@ck_100
Not sure about the spec but u may visit developer office to ask for the details.
Where to get more details online except going to the sales office?
What is the different for 2 DS type B and type C?
@ck_100
2.5 Stry. Price is differ by about 10-20k range compared to 2ST.
@Chocolate
Type B – BU bigger than type C.
Agree with @BM Lang, website can’t get more info as not official launching. Visit their sales office to get more info instead.
What type that able to fit 4 cars for 2 DS? I saw the layout plan in TI website but very less info.
@Chris
So u book for 2.5 storey?
Pls look at it access road …. lousy and have to pass thru old taman. so narrow
@Chocolate
I think u go to developer sales office n u will get the answer.
@OrangeBuyer
Not sure why are you so hard sell on the Orange. After all it is just a neighbour housing area and it is such a disgrace for bombarding others for your own benefit. Anyway, still congrats to you for buying an OV2 as this mean you earn substantial income to afford > 600k house. However the way you express your opinion will not earn my respect.
@BM lang
Not yet. Planning to soon.
@Chris
Totally agree.
If i tell the fact, my opinion not welcome. Taman Bukit have not road to Jalan Betek. OV2 n Tmn Bukit/Bukit Residence although is near but the access is totally difference. To access Bukit Res, you have to do thru ‘bengkang-bangkok’ old taman road. Quite distance. That why Bukit Res price is lower. The is call price to value. I did not condemn Bukit Res, just tell the fact.
The road access passby old taman is considering lower grade? Quite distance, r u sure? Taman Bukit is well known one of the best living place, I dun think it is a big concerns. Ov also need to pass by Taman Betik Indah, if after 10 years later, Taman Betik Indah also become old houses d. Then can conclude ur OV is downgrade?
well said BM Lang, he is slapping his own face…..maybe he regret bought OV in such high price compare to BR, that’s why he try very hard to comfort himself haha
My house going to complete, do i need to ? If you dont like to listen, just ignore me.
Yes, Tmn Bukit area is among the best residencial area in BM area, you can see most houses occupied, not empty, not waiting for sales/rent. No offence but I think this project pricing will make OV esp some OV2 new buyers whom bought expensively RM600-700K ‘arm tenh’ (dissapointed) without swimming pool some more.
Taman Bukit have a lot of haunted/vacant house. Pls visit and give a real fact. Too deep inside.
Went to the sales office at Simpang Ampat(pearl city) yesterday. Can see that almost 50%-60% units have been booked already. Feeling very weird that the price between 2.5 Storey and 2 storey only 20-30k different. I think 2.5 storey worth to buy than 2 storey. Heard that the access of Orange Villa, Bukit Residence, Taman Bukit all will road will link together…So no point to argue regarding the access.
@enguin
Can u share what is the land size?
@enguin
The 2 storey is limited and the land area is slightly bigger than 2.5 storey and you know those Orange speculators of course try to argue about the road access. If they are genuine buyers instead of speculators, they should be happy to have well established housing development in the neighbouring area instead of ‘pick the bone from the egg’ in Chinese proverb. I suggest for those who interested to buy, go visit the site on your own, visit the surrounding area instead of trust too much of what was discussed in a forum.
i have the photo.. how to post that photo?
If you have relevant photos on the selective property. You can email to admin@penangpropertytalk.com
@Tan
@Opg
The 2.5 storey land size 20’x64′ or longer.
@enguin
Thanks.
Probably the land slight shorter then OV2, price lower.
Anyone book the unit? How their sales? How do u think about the location?
@BM People
Just book a 2.5 storey. more than half already booked especially those corners and limited double storey which land size slightly bigger and price varies depend on land size. Location is strategic if you go visit the site. You plan to book one too?
OV2 land size 22 x 74 feet.
@Chris
Planning to book. I can see the pricing is competitive. n location might be good.
How much downpayment for this DST? Got rebate?
@Ck
3k downpayment, no rebate. Free legal for lawyer but not loan.
how much is the DST price now??
Not much left for DST, about 6 units only. Lowest is about RM500K after rebate.
3ST is RM30K more only compare to DST.
Booked a 3ST unit this afternoon at 548k after long survey. The only concern is the trafic condition on Jalan soo Ben keng, hope it will get better after the road is widened when house completed. Hard to find 20*45 BU for 3ST house below 600k nowadays at prime location. It is a bit deep inside but ok as I drive always, not walk. Good to see two kindergarden along the way for my kids.
@ooo
Welcome to Bukit Residence!
@ooo
How many unit left?
3ST still a lot for sale..:)
Type B not more left, type C still got a lot, type A 3ST roughly 20+unit left only. GSE, thx!
land area so small. Not for me.
@LOL
If u really go to their sales office at pearl city, go find a sales boy called Eddy. I hold 50-50 although I have prepared the booking cash, but I book it on the spot coz of his good selling altitude and service. This boy shall be appreciated!
88 units of 3 storey only left 20 over units. Seem like sales very good. Have to visit their sales office.
@ooo
Which and where is the kindergarden?
If not mistaken, there are 3 kindergarten in Taman Bukit . First one is the bungalow unit just beside the new development by BM Bina( behind KFC). Another 1 is just in front of Curry mee stall. (famous n just open the stall in the morning). Another is Jenny Kindergarten ( the nearest to Bukit Residence)
@Bukit People
Thanks for yr info. Will find out.
Anyone has created a FB page for this taman?
@Opg
Are you interested to buy?
Just visited the site couple days ago, the earth work on land leveling seem like almost done. So,is the kitchen tiles is up until ceiling height or just half of it?
Anyone know how’s their sales?
@ck_100
accooring to TI, half height for kitchen full height for bathroom. Car porch got tiled too. But all just said only not official spec i see yet.
Hi ooo, noticed that you already book the unit. So, even that, you don’t have the full spec? I ask the SA few weeks back but not able to get the actual spec.
btw, is there any heater or air con point provided?
@ck_100
Yes, all room and bathroom provided. I think it is quite a std to hv it nowadays.
@ooo
Thx for info.
I heard sap will sign in the mid March, any other buyer can confirm this? If I don’t like the spec or Sth wrong, I just rugi 1k as the booking is just 3k. Sometimes need to take some risk coz hard to find 3st house at this price over that location.
@ooo
Where did you hear from? No specification confirmed but sign S&P?
you can ask your lawyer to fax the SPA spec to you…
@thor, cqn u share us its spec?
how many units left for this projects? price range? thx.
I don’t have the spec. I give advise that those book owner can request a soft copy b4 signing the real SPA from lawyer…
@thor
Thx, i thought u had booked also.
Anyone have the specification to share?
Heard that S&P signing is within a month time. So still no spec?
Can consider to buy landed property as landed property in prime location getting lesser n lesser.
Agreed and now you start to see more Condos been build at mainland area (SPT, Jln Baru, BM)…. perhaps prime location landed is out of land soon.
Anyone already sign the S&P?
@CindyCha
Developer already sent out letter signing SnP last week. 2 weeks to sign S&P.
@Chris
Thanks for info.
I don’t see TI launches this project officially, all units sold? Any other buyers here?
@Chris
my husband is 1 of the buyers. Tat time we bought, stil left about 20units.
Yes, i hv received the letter ang going to sign it this friday. Anyone hv signed can share the house spec.?
@ooo
So, which bank loan that you took? what is the interest rate?
Maybank offer flexible loan and good interest rate
@TBC
What is the rate given by Maybank?
BLR-2.45%
Are you sure Fully Flexi with BLR-2.45?
with MRTA?
Hi has anyone sign the SNP and mind to share on spec?
I got -2.45% fr Ambank, semiflexi
Not bad, so have you sign the SNP and what is your car poach length?
@ck_100 not signed yet. Tht is my main concern too and i hv been asking the lawyer to send me the spec. but no reply. Anyone can share?
If shorter than 19ft i wont sign the sap. I hope other buyer ll follow
So mean until now no ppl know the official house spec?
Finally i got the spec., not bad at all. By my pwn measurement , the car porch is 20-21ft long with percalain tilt.
Land area is 20×64 n build up is 20×45. So the car porch should be 19 ft, right? How to get 20-21 ft?
hi which plot you booked? 2ST or 2.5ST? So, your SNP indicated 20-21ft? Which lawyer firm?
It didnt specify it in the layout for the car porch, i measure it as the layout is in scale. I will confirm tht when i sign the sap. When i booked it the salesboy told me it is abt 20ft with an explanation but i hv forgot oledi.
hi LS, it depends on either type B or C.
B land size: 20x68ft, build up: 20x45ft, car porch: ~23ft (approximation)
C land size: 22x57ft, build up: 22x36ft, car porch: ~21ft (approximation)
Type A shall be 19ft only by the plan but it looks got a little bit extra to 20ft. Enough for any car unless u got Benz to park. No choice bcoz i prefer bigger build up
Any of you have signed S&P?
Just signed S&P on Saturday, the lawyer told me to grab another while still available, shall I invest another unit in same project?
So anyone know which/type of units still available? What is the latest selling price now?
Me n my wife grabbed a unit of 3 storey. Price is 600k++. Location look good :).
I hv just signed last week. Sean, 600K+? u must have bought the unit near to club house.
@ooo
not far from there haha.
I thought this is only 2.5 storey?
yes, you can name it as 2.5 storey
or 3 storey as they advertised.
Yup it is actually 2.5 storey.
So is there any discount offer by lawyer and how much?
test
hi, are there every 2 storey n 3 storey have backyard garden? anybody can share?
that launhed in jan 2014 just around RM 55xK (2.5 storey) and in 3 months time, the price already increase to RM 57xK (around 30K different), what a greedy developer!
Is it still worth to buy for investment with this new price ? what is the house price in Taman bukit area?
ya, i agreed what alpha said, 16/3 that time i visited the tambun off, the sale ppl told me 2.5 storey intermediate’s price is 588k on 16/3 only! Then on 17/3 they called to informed that price is going to be up 10k if booking on the next day ! is really a greedy developer!
Is the 588k near to facilities? If not mistaken those typical 2.5s that located nearer to facilities will differ by 20k plus depend on which unit. Also the first row which the rear facing existing terrace cheaper about 15k compared to typical 2.5s unit
if u call on Dec 2013 after rebate 30k only 518k for 2.5 storey, but depends on land area, some more small some more big, property games is like that book before official launch u will earn alot
@==
Where got RM 518K after rebate for 2.5 storey?
518k shall be for the DST, not 3st house
that time DTS 528k after rebate 30k only 498k, 2.5 storey 548k after rebate 30k only 518k, I still ask the staff how cum DTS and 2.5 storey only different 20k? then sure 2.5 storey more worth, he said land area for DTS bigger than 2.5 storey
I think u misunderstanding. For 2.5 storey, gross price is RM 578k. Net price is RM 548K.
@LS
Agree. I think @== apply double rebate of 30k on top of the gross price.
So rm 578k is still a good buy for investment?
@Alpha
Hard to say whether it is good investment or not. But one thing can be confirmed is landed property in prime location is getting lesser n coming up is condos d.
Yup totally agreed and now the condos are selling from RM350 – RM400++
Think to book one, is it free legal for s & p and bank loan? and how much is the cash debate? can anyone who has booked share? thx.
@ck_100
Yes. For investment wise, it is not a bad idea in a long run. Prime area land is limited. ck_100, are you one of the owner?
@km, call the developer, they can provide you the better answer on the package.
too bad, the developer *again* increase the price for another RM 15k yesterday, so i give this project a pass as since jan they have increase more than 40K !! what a greedy developer!
so what is the exact price now and package?
depend on location and type, even the cheaper one is not cheap anymore, average OK one i would say almost hit the RM 600K mark, they only cover S&P, other fees buyer has to pay
alpha, this is the rules of game. If u satisfy the project, must act fast to buy one. Property price keep going up, why wait? Hoping the price going down? Can not be la..
I am not hoping the price will go down, i know that won’t happen. I wish they don’t increase the price so fast, it is like increase rm 10k every month…..u r right, should act fast when know about it
If for own stay, anytime is also the best time to buy.
Every developer also like that. Price sure increase once a certain percentage of sales is reached.
@alpha
Alpha, are u sure is 15k? should be 20k, cos for unit 51(2.5storey) jan 2014 was 548k nett, march 2014=588k nett, now apr 2014 =608k nett, total amount increase is 60k!! am i right? i have asked the sales recently, or may be different sales person give different price to different buyer??!!
Alpha, are u sure is 15k? should be 20k, cos for unit 51(2.5storey) jan 2014 was 548k nett, march 2014=588k nett, now apr 2014 =608k nett, total amount increase is 60k!! am i right? i have asked the sales recently, or may be different sales person give different price to different buyer??!!
@km
This is really ridiculous although we know this is the rule of the game. How many units left?
608k?
Can overtake Jesselton Lakeside superlink already as the most expensive terrace in BM after includes all the rebates package.
Current price at 588k and 608k. (2 different rows). I am considering to book 1 unit as i like the G&G concept. Have been wanted to find G&G with my affordable range. The only concern i have is the road access to the project. Currently only can be accessed by Lorong Bukit Kecil. I am not sure future is there any roads connecting directly to Jalan SBK or Jalan Betek. So far so good.
Land size too small for me.
