Location and neighbourhood

The Ashbourne is in the Jalan Ampang area, on the City Centre side of Kuala Lumpur. Jalan Ampang is one of the older, established parts of central KL, with a mix of office buildings, high-rise homes and older residential pockets. Living on this side of the city generally means being close to the main business district. That can suit people who work in central KL or who want shorter journeys into town. As in most city-centre areas, traffic can be heavy at peak hours, so visit at different times of day to get a feel for the surroundings.

Living here: what to check before you buy or rent

Before you commit to a unit at The Ashbourne, ask the agent or the management office for the key details. These include the tenure, the monthly maintenance fees and sinking fund, and which facilities are available to residents. Serviced residences in Kuala Lumpur can sit on either residential or commercial land, which may affect utility rates and fees. Ask which applies and check the title document. If you are buying, find out whether the strata title has been issued and look at the sale and purchase agreement with your lawyer. Always view the unit in person. Check the condition of the fittings, the water pressure, the view and any noise. If you are renting, confirm what furniture is included, who pays for utilities and what the house rules are for tenants. Speaking to current residents can also give you a useful picture of daily life in the building.
