PROPERTY REVIEW

Shout out to The Makeover Guys for the chance for me to sneak in this episode for this project in Kuchai Lama. For project details, kindly check out their website : genkl.com.my/
Often pushed with the selling point of being close to Mid Valley Megamall, GenKL has way more things to offer than just connectivity. Personally what I like the most would be the landscape treatment throughout the project. As they have a little Singaporean touch to the landscape approach, the density and choices of plants just amazed me and that created a luxury feel to the common areas. Besides that, the developer are very generous with the common area. From the entrance statement, to the visitor lounge, lift lobby up to the unit corridors, all of areas are just very spacious.
However, one of the main concern is the main access to the project via the local roads. The developer has done their best in expanding the existing congested narrow road but sometimes it's still inconvenient. Another thing that potential buyers should know would be the high competition around that area. Easily there'll be 10k units around Taman Desa, Kuchai Lama and Old Klang road so the supply will be on the higher side.

You're such a cool, candid and non-pretentious reviewer which is what I really find charming about your videos. It's great that you also honestly list out the things you don't like about the properties cuz it greatly gives the viewer a raw and genuine perspective on how it's really like to stay there, which also helps in attracting more potentially serious buyers/tenants for the landlords looking to sell/rent out. A lot of other property reviewers just pan over how awesome whatever property their reviewing (especially the Western ones) and not address the real caveats that come with living in the spaces their showing. Keep it up and looking forward to the next one.

Wow. I'm so humbled by the compliments! Thank you so much for your incredible sharing. Now I'm clear on what's working for the channel hahaha. Also, thanks for watching yea!!

Proper compartmentalised kitchens in high rise is so rare nowadays. Really like the closed off spacious kitchen and there's even room for an island outside. Very practical design

[@iherng]

Right. It's been a while since I last came across such luxurious kitchen. The compartmentalization is just spot on, especially for asian famillies that do a lot of heavy cooking. Thanks for watching and sharing yea!!

[@WestCoastAce27]

Agree - but the door should slide out of the wall - that thing will get in the way opening as it does. PS - Sean, you should GRILL your seafood, not fry it. Healthy! :)

[@douglasyong6939]

May I suggest you give a Sean Tan rating for each project, say architecture, location, facilities, main entrance, lobby, parking, view, noise level, etcetera. Just my 2c

[@iherng]

Maybe in the future.. great suggestion.. *thinking deeply=)

[@RyanHong1989]

Overall i would rate A for this project. Only thing i dislike is the "over crowded" / high density / high supply around that area. Thumbs up for the Main con!

[@iherng]

Yupe. That seems to be the only concern, but there's nothing much the developer team could do about it though. The rest is pretty amazing!!

[@sewjin]

nice one! worth adding that the congestion at the main road (Jln Kuchai Lama - 13:10) can get quite absurd during rush hour on both directions @.@

[@iherng]

Yea, that's always the setback for 'hot' and populated areas!

[@WestCoastAce27]

Good job. Very nicely done bathrooms and kitchen. Studio to rent out is a very interesting feature. Having to drive everywhere is a huge negative though. Who knows if/when the MRT station gets done.

[@iherng]

The MRT is completing soon but it's still a distance away. Thanks for sharing your thoughts yea Mark. I really appreciate it=)

[@thianenglow3254]

Thanks for the review, Sean. Can you please review The Riyang when you have the opportunity? I was considering between Gen KL and Riyang and ended up purchasing a unit at the latter. Would be good to see how they both stack up against one another in your opinion :)

[@jasonlau8273]

One of the selling points of this property was feng shui - The whole floor plan and facing of the buildings (only North and South facing) are looked through by our very own Dato Joey Yap (rumours flying around saying one or two of the villa units is his), which made the design very practical. Also, the developer placed alot of emphasis on the finishing product, which you rightfully pointed out from the toilet tiles. The downside is the KL facing units - These units are directly facing the NPE highway and noise level is much higher compared to the units facing the swimming pool.

[@iherng]

Wow. Thanks Jason for the very clear insight!! Awesome sharing=)

[@simonpeter9617]

Should be a very good place to live for big family. How is the security concerns and is it children friendly ?

[@jasonlau8273]

@@simonpeter9617 It features 3 tier security and guest will need residence to access the lift.. Pretty standard for condo I guess?

[@PatOHehe]

Btw.... Isn't the rubber floor in the gym there so that you can drop the weights without making too much noise or breaking the floor?

[@iherng]

That's not the main reason though. But it's true too=) Thanks for watching!!

[@blurjsjason]

Which project around Puchong / kuchai you recommend with around 300k to 400k budget?

[@iherng]

Go property portals, filter the price and check around 10 of them. It's important to see for yourself as I don't have the gauge of your risk appetite and your investment behaviour=) Thanks for asking anyway!!

[@elynlim8172]

"Wah even the carpark got fountain" hahaha this one funny

[@iherng]

=)

[@skylinerkktx6693]

The outer foryer can install a metal gate or not for extra security

[@iherng]

Yes but it's up to the approval of building management.

[@yygian]

Huiyoo, like drama like that! 👌

[@iherng]

Haha. Because it was raining and the wind was strong, they just adds on to the drama hahaha=)

[@everydaypengs]

Hey Sean! Really love your content on the channel. Wanted to ask, when you first did video reviews for these projects... Did you had any hesitations to post it??

[@iherng]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!! It was very tough initially. I needed to pay agents so I can do advertisement for projects they're marketing *I know it sounds ridiculous. But that process strengthened my believe that this is my passion and despite all the hot weather, negative comments, and resistance. Many stakeholders would be afraid of the honesty because their action don't usually match with what they say in the media... Great question by the way!!

[@everydaypengs]

@@iherng thanks for taking the first step!!! Inspired!!!

[@cheerie2288]

what is your view on kuchai lama?

[@iherng]

Very high population, which is good for housing=) Lots of highway, lots of places to eat... unfortunately that means traffic congestion.

[@cheerie2288]

i was always wonder why property reviewer/ gurus seldom talk bout kuchai lama. maybe you were the few of them. many thanks. im enjoy watching your videos. thanks

[@fitrianuar4776]

[@christerstudio]

[@aslinsurance]

[@iherng]

Betul!! *hotel got carpet lah.. hahaha

[@luvqnnel14]

Can you please review Sky condominium in Puchong??

[@iherng]

I will try yea. No promises but I'm gonna try squeezing it into my schedule=)

[@XJLCA]

Sean is lovely!

[@iherng]

Hahaha... er.... thanks =)

[@user-vb4ud9cw8q]

I wish he is single...🙃🤣🤣

[@SonyJimable]

How much $$$ was that apartment?

[@iherng]

Per square feet around RM 800 and dependant on the height of the unit. Roughly I would say around RM 1 mil - RM 1.2mil.

[@skylinerkktx6693]

Your full time job is what?

[@iherng]

I'm the marketing manager of The Makeover Guys=)

[@78mld]

[@iherng]

Thanks for watching bro!

[@WTiDeadlyfury]

You didnt talk about the refuse system. Haha

[@iherng]

Yea, I forgot this round Owen. It was getting late and it started raining, so I rushed out to the end scene although I was wet after the shoot. Sharp observation man!! hahaha. Anyway, thanks for watching =)

[@nizammarcelo4682]

I love to watch every video from u iherng,if I million men i will buy all ☺️

[@iherng]

Wah... Thanks Nizam! Hahaha=)

[@mr_r1q439]

A good information 👍

[@Ninochew]

It’s kinda weird and funny everytime the description of how the way to work in the kitchen. You always say, can cook here then prepare food here then wash dishes here. I know you always said you don’t cook.But, It supposed to be the other way. You take out the food from the fridge, then wash it, then prepare and chop and cut, then lastly cook it. You won’t wash the dishes straightly after finish cooking, right?

[@iherng]

Well, I only figured about the space to do the actions as architects usually follow the triangle rule for kitchen space. But I haven't thought through the sequence of cooking hahaha. But I really appreciate the sharing Nino=) Thanks for watching as well!!

[@kurakurakii3792]

developer shouldnt mind if you sneak in, free advertisement bro

[@iherng]

Haha... It's because I was there to do another video for The Makeover Guys, but I sneaked in this episode so you guys can see what's inside=) Thanks for watching Aigis!

[@PatOHehe]

Hahaha I can see my old place from here🤣
