About Avenue Garden

Avenue Garden is listed as a serviced residence, located in Bandar Tasek Mutiara, Simpang Ampat. In Malaysia, serviced residences are high-rise strata homes where common areas are looked after by a management body, and owners pay regular charges for upkeep. What is included, and how it is run, differs from one development to the next, so it is worth asking directly about this particular building. Avenue Garden suits people who want to live on the mainland side of Penang rather than on the island.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. For buyers, confirm the tenure, check the land title and strata title status, and ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund rates, along with any arrears on the unit. Ask which facilities are available and whether any are under repair. Always view the unit in person: check for leaks, water pressure, wiring and the condition of fittings. Look at the lifts, corridors and parking to see how well the building is kept. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully, agree on deposits and who pays for repairs, and note the unit's condition with photos on moving-in day.
