About Menara Damansara

Menara Damansara is a condominium. In Malaysia, condominiums are usually strata properties: each owner holds their own unit and shares the common areas with the other owners, and a management body looks after the building. Because of this, the condition of the building and how well it is run can matter as much as the unit itself. If you are thinking of buying or renting here, it helps to look at both.

Location and neighbourhood

The development sits on Jalan Margosa SD 10/1e, in the Petaling part of Selangor. Petaling is one of the most built-up parts of the Klang Valley. It includes established cities such as Petaling Jaya, which sits next to Kuala Lumpur, and Shah Alam, the state capital, along with many residential suburbs. Many people who live in this part of Selangor commute to Kuala Lumpur or elsewhere in the Klang Valley for work. Before deciding, visit the area at different times of day, including weekday rush hours, to get a feel for traffic and noise. Look for the shops, schools, clinics and public transport you would use most, and judge for yourself how convenient they are.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Ask the agent, owner or management office about the tenure and confirm it on the title. Buyers should also check whether the strata title has been issued and run a title search through a lawyer. Ask for the current maintenance fee and sinking fund charges, and whether any fees are in arrears on the unit you are viewing. Find out which facilities are available and in working order, and walk through them during your visit. View the unit in person and check for leaks, damp, cracks and the state of fittings and electrical points. Ask about parking, security, visitor rules and any house rules on renovation or pets. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully and agree in writing on the deposits, the repairs each side is responsible for, and what furniture is included.
