Location and neighbourhood

Old Klang Road is an older, established area to the south of the city centre. It has long been a residential neighbourhood. Over the years, older houses and shops have been joined by newer condominium projects. Many residents like that it is still part of Kuala Lumpur but has a more local, lived-in feel than the central business districts. Because so many developments are listed here, you can look at several homes in one area. Visit at different times of day, such as the morning and evening, to get a sense of traffic, noise and whether the neighbourhood suits your daily routine.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the building management for the key details and confirm them in writing. For buyers, check the tenure (freehold or leasehold), and if it is leasehold, how many years are left. Look at the title, including whether a strata title has been issued. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Find out which facilities are available and whether they are well kept. Always view the unit in person. Check for leaks, damp, wiring and the condition of fittings, and take a look at the common areas, lifts and parking. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm the deposit amounts and agree on who pays for repairs and utilities. It also helps to ask the management about house rules, renovation guidelines and access cards.
