Seberang Perai covers a wide area that mixes established residential neighbourhoods, newer housing and industrial zones. Many people live here because it is on the mainland side, and it is also handy for travel to the northern states.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent, the owner or the building management some key questions. Confirm the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and, if you are buying, check the title and any restrictions on the property. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether any payments are overdue on the unit you are looking at. Find out which facilities are available and whether they are in working order. Always view the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, to check for noise, natural light, ventilation, water pressure and any signs of leaks or damage. Look at the common areas, lifts, parking and security arrangements too. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully and agree in writing which furniture and appliances are included. For buyers, consider getting a lawyer to handle the paperwork and searches.
