About Pangsapuri Wakaf An-Nur

Pangsapuri Wakaf An-Nur is a residential apartment development. "Pangsapuri" is the Malay word for apartment, and you will see it in the names of many apartment buildings across Malaysia. Apartments like this can suit a range of people, from first-time buyers and small families to tenants who prefer to live on the mainland rather than on the island. As with any building, individual units can differ quite a lot in condition, layout and furnishing, depending on how each owner has kept and renovated them. If you can, view more than one unit so you have a fair basis for comparison.

Location and neighbourhood

The development is in Telok Air Tawar, part of Butterworth in Seberang Perai, the mainland half of Penang. Butterworth is the main town on the mainland side and faces George Town, the state capital, across the channel. Many people who live in Butterworth work locally on the mainland, while others commute across to the island. The Butterworth area has a large number of homes to choose from: our directory lists 133 developments in the same area. That gives you plenty of options to compare when you are weighing up asking prices and monthly rents, and looking at a few similar apartments nearby can help you judge what is reasonable for your budget.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent, the owner or the building management for the key details. For buyers, confirm the tenure (freehold or leasehold) and, if leasehold, how many years remain. Check the title type and whether the individual strata title has been issued, and ask your lawyer to run a search. Find out the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and whether there are any arrears on the unit. Ask what facilities are available and whether parking is included. Always view the unit in person: look for signs of leaks, check the water pressure, wiring and windows, and visit at different times of day to get a feel for noise and traffic. Tenants should read the tenancy agreement carefully, confirm the deposit amounts and agree in writing on what furniture and repairs are covered.
