PROPERTY REVIEW

[@nicklasprince]

This is one of the nicest condos i have seen on this channel, much more european feel to the layout, which is great for us Orang Putih's.

[@iherng]

Hahaha. Glad you like it:)

[@bernieadams4057]

its a 999 lease in the middle of the city plus the facility and luxury provided, that's actually reasonable. the nearest one storey terrace house in luyang have sold for more than a million. some semi d in kingfisher way farther from city have sold at 1.6 million with less than 99 years lease left. sabah property are crazy expensive

[@Levynite]

lol most of the locals can't afford a unit there; majority was sold off to overseas buyers who are renting it out or doing high class AirBnB. I remember the developer bragging how 80% of the units were sold off to China buyers. That's why you saw a lot of Grab cars.

[@nelson6777]

FINALLY YOU'RE HERE!!! Properties at KK is ridiculous..

[@rust405]

this building lights up at night...fun 27:10 yes and no, Tuaran bypass still plagued by traffic especially 8-9am and 5-6pm, tho most places are like that too

[@augustinepang]

please do pay visit more properties at Sabah / KK. Your content are my favourites! it was surprise and unexpected you came! #sabahanhere.

[@danielliaw]

Good luck in maintaining this.

[@SoltariTrooper]

I betting it will be very run down in 5 yrs. Maintainance is the key issues here. Too expensive to upkeep.

[@iherng]

@@SoltariTrooper I don’t think it’s gonna be tough at all. There are no complicated designs at all. What’s your bet?

[@nicklasprince]

Depends if shortstay or not, if you can keep respectful residents and avoid airbnb guests that run around the facilities all wet and bang their suitcases in all the walls and lifts, it should be quite ok in terms of maintenance.

[@NadimIbrahim-p4f]

I'm sabahan. Airbnb is banned by sabah gov to protect hotels

[@peterwong6540]

​@@NadimIbrahim-p4f it depends though. under the current law in Sabah, the property title must be under a commercial title in order for one to do Airbnb. That is why, if you notice, in Sabah, many new high rise residential towers are being built under such titles as a way to "walk around the law".

[@johnmuh6664]

Several details in the video suggest that this property might not be a typical owner-occupied residence. For instance, the computer screen without visible power cords raises questions. Additionally, the aesthetically pleasing glass wardrobe, while visually appealing, seems less practical for everyday storage, potentially leading to a cluttered appearance due to the transparent design. From a location standpoint, Chinese areas, hospitals, and a renowned high school makes it a convenient choice. However, the advertised rental rate of RM4 per square foot seems somewhat subjective. For comparison, condos in less desirable locations typically rent for RM2000-RM2400 (valued at RM550k, approximately 800 sqft), while well-located older landed properties rent for around RM1600-RM2500 (valued at RM700k-900k, approximately 1500-2000 sqft). However , a 100k apartment could rent around RM600-800 (approximately 600-700 sqft) Even the property's location is favorable, KK has relatively low concentration of high-skilled workers and high-income earners. while the condo might be an ideal residence for retirees or high income earners, it doesn't seems promising for rental yield investors. please share your opinion on this

bruh, is Mount Kinabalu, not Mount Kota Kinabalu....

@@jazzyn09157 Oh yea, my bad haha. Too excited dy:)

[@brandonling9663]

Glad to have a KK condo under your review list. Hopefully one day you may review Bayu Residence by Exsim , only 1 km away from JTT :)

[@ivanavannus]

It's always surprised me how expensive properties are in Kota Kinabalu & Penampang. They are on the same level as Klang Valley prices, but with much lower build quality...

[@_ryanguitarchannel9679]

@@ivanavannus cost of building material more expensive , land more expensive , to get approvals more expensive basically everything is more expensive whether for customer or developer

Thanks sis. Absolutely coming back!!

[@KMJ.95]

Glad to see you featuring properties in Sabah! Hope you review more and more Sabah properties because we really need people like you to actually review the property. To many properties in Sabah have cut corners and we as potential buyers would like to really know all the pros and con. Also its mount kinabalu or mount k not mount kk lol

Welcome to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah!

I absolutely love the location Leon. What a beautiful place to live:)

[@LeonOrion92]

@@iherng True! As a local here, the road connectivity for this project is great, penetrating to either of the 2 main roads, hospital and schools in close proximity. But it is also an interesting project to review as the take up rate or even rental yield of condominiums / high rise may have huge difference compared to peninsula since the availability of land here is more hence landed might be more popular. So yes please do come by more often! Can go eat and tour around too! Maybe a fanclub meetup too 🥳

[@Afeeq1011]

I want to rant about the housing market in Sabah but I'll admit I'm not that well informed. While being a native allows privilege in buying Native Title (NT) or NT lot in a development, it doesn't change the fact prices are over-inflated (as compared to similarly sized cities in Malaysia obviously but even the suburbs AND neighbouring district here also rising) especially for lower level salaryman (not the same as the 80's/90's where my parents managed to get a mortage for a decently sized land and house build cost). Mark my words the intercity section of the Pan-Borneo could'nt solve the soon to be high traffic load of commuting people into the cities for work. (the traffic nowadays seems to be worse compared to 10 years ago when I was in UMS) Here's hoping that Indonesian Nusantara with be the catalyst for rapid development funded by the federal gov. in Sabah (Sarawak State Gov manages their finances decently so I've no doubt on their part of future development)

[@1986strike]

Suddenly feeling proud to be Sabahan.

[@iherng]

Yes you should:)

[@1986strike]

@@iherng the room layout for the 1,200 sf condo looks weird though. Just my observation.

[@gasun1274]

why be proud of something funded by china money and bought by china investors while the units remain empty for 365 days of the year

[@rhinolimes]

Correction is not OC is CCC. Anyone who obtain OC is consider null and Void since May 2023 last year. Depending and CCC started 2022 in Sabah enforce May 2023. But in Peninsular is already since 2007. Therefore if your LAD is differ and mentioned OC should refer to KKTP and ask for Clarification.

[@kazielbonn]

Mount KK 😅 Great review, enjoyable watch.

[@kazielbonn]

Also, I agree. A lot of "wasted" space that could have been used better.

[@haldepet12]

What about the landed properties? Are they also 999 leasehold or are they usually freehold? Is it true that only native people of Sabah can hold native titles and are only native titles freehold titles?

[@_ryanguitarchannel9679]

@@haldepet12 usually new houses have title of 99 years and even for old houses or residential land it’s usually 99 it’s rare to find 999 years and if you can find it you better buy it if you can afford to , we don’t have freehold.. or at least seldomly the closest one is 999 years

[@mikeycwee21]

Landed properties usually under two types. I) Native titles (NT) are freehold. iI) Non bumi only can buy Country Lease (CL) properties which leasehold ranges from 30, 60, 99 and 999 years

[@JudeAbrahamJD]

Nice 👍👏

[@Sinrgx]

Another condo just got OC nearby too. Forest Hill. Would be great if you could check it out

[@iherng]

Let me try to make another visit:)

[@OrangKK123]

Forest Hill developer under deliver. The Forest itself is not part of its 8 acre of land. No gazebo, hardly any park or recreation place for residents to jog, a lot of under utilise place due to the high tension wire, no cafe as advertised, swimming pool seems small, only a small badminton court. Not as exciting as advertised.

[@lawrencelaw6136]

Empty Land is abundant.....condom hard to appreciate...soon run down become worthless......

[@_ryanguitarchannel9679]

Think again the average terrace house at kk is rm1 million plus the average condo like this jtt start from rm600k to 9 million and residential land here starts from rm100-rm400 per sf nowadays so it means to build a bungalow it will take at least 7-15 million ringgit

Are you paid to do this review? Just curious, if you are you need to mention it

[@Kotak8]

KK and all other M’sian cities constructed too many high-rise residential buildings. Moreover residential and commercial space are oversupplied. Soon M’sia would be like China.

[@iherng]

Well not many of us could afford a landed home due to scarcity of land in strategic locations unfortunately.

[@Kotak8]

@@iherng Malaya, Sabah and Sarawak have too much buildable land. It’s just the municipal infrastructure, such as road, water and sewer systems, electrical power supply, and flood protection systems suck.

[@Bking-wl9kn]

As I’m from KK, to buy such an expensive condo is ridicules. Better buy landed with the same price. Damai is a prime area. But so? The jam going into this condo is fucked up as there is a gov and private hospital just outside of it. So with the same price I can get a landed in luyang. Lol

no way rm4 per sq ft rental...those 800 sq ft units asking for 3k..meanwhile a lot of 1000 sq ft condo nearby is about 2000-2500 rental only...this is residential title, airbnb not allowed .overpriced rental and property price .....any units below 1000 sq ft are very hard to rent at 4k, do not even think about appreciation if u buy at rm1000 per sq ft
