About Taman Sri Relau 88A

Taman Sri Relau 88A is an apartment development in the Bukit Jambul, Relau area of Penang. It is on Penang Island rather than on the mainland side of the state.

Apartments in this part of the island are often considered by first-time buyers, small families and working people who want to live on the island side.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit, ask the agent or the management office for the tenure, the monthly maintenance and sinking fund charges, and the facilities that come with the development. Visit the unit in person, ideally at different times of day, so you can see the condition, the noise level, parking and access. Check the plumbing, the wiring, the windows and any signs of leaks. If you are buying, check the title and confirm who the registered owner is. Ask whether any maintenance fees or utility bills are outstanding, and whether the strata title has been issued. Your lawyer can help with these checks. If you are renting, read the tenancy agreement closely. Check the deposit amount, who pays for repairs and the notice period. List the furniture and appliances in writing and take photos at handover.
