Location and neighbourhood

Parit Raja is a small town in the west of Johor, away from the busier Johor Bahru area. It is known locally as a university town, and daily life tends to be quieter than in the state's larger cities. The nearest development in our directory is Taman Maju Bistari, a condominium about 0.5 km away. This distance is measured in a straight line, so the actual travel distance by road may be longer. If you are comparing homes in the area, it may help to view units at both developments. Visiting at different times of day will give you a feel for the traffic, noise and general atmosphere.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or management office a few key questions. Find out the tenure, whether freehold or leasehold, as this affects long-term value and financing. Ask about the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund charges, and what they cover. Check which facilities are available and whether they are well kept. Always view the unit in person. Look at the condition of the walls, ceilings, plumbing and windows, and check the common areas such as corridors, lifts and parking. Buyers should check the title and confirm the seller's ownership. Ask whether there are any outstanding fees or restrictions on the unit. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully. Make sure it is clear who pays for repairs and utilities, and confirm the deposit terms. It also helps to ask current residents about their experience living in the building.
