Melaka City, with its UNESCO World Heritage old town, lies to the south-east. Taman Tangga Batu is one of the residential areas in Tanjong Kling. People who choose this side of Melaka often like being close to the coast and away from the tourist crowds of the old town, while still being able to reach the city for work and errands. Journey times depend on your route and the traffic, so try the trip to your workplace or your children's school yourself at peak hours before you commit.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you buy, ask the agent or the management office about the tenure and whether the unit has an individual strata title. Ask for a copy of the title and check that the seller's name matches. Find out the monthly maintenance fee and sinking fund charges, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Ask what facilities are provided and how well they are kept up. View the unit in person and check for leaks, damp, water pressure, wiring and the state of the lifts and stairways if there are any. Ask about parking, security and rules on renovations. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement carefully. Agree the deposit, the monthly rent and who pays for repairs and utilities before you sign, and make a list of the condition of the unit and its fittings on moving-in day.
