About Alphine Tower

Alphine Tower is a condominium development in Jelutong, on the island side of Penang. Condominiums in Malaysia offer apartment-style living with shared common areas looked after by a management body, and they tend to suit people who want a home on the island without the upkeep of a landed house. They can work for owner-occupiers, families, working professionals and tenants alike. Unit layouts, condition and asking prices often differ from one listing to the next, even within the same building. That makes the current listings for sale and for rent the most practical way to see what is available at Alphine Tower right now, and to compare units side by side before arranging a viewing.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit to a unit at Alphine Tower, ask the agent or the building management to confirm the key details. For buyers, check the tenure (freehold or leasehold), ask whether the strata title has been issued, and get a copy of the title or a title search done through your lawyer. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund contributions, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and how well they are kept. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check for noise, natural light, ventilation and any signs of leaks or damage. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, agree on what furniture and fittings are included, and confirm who pays for utilities and repairs.
