Day +1299 : Another visit to Setia Alam

I am fine today.

Following the night visit 8 days ago (Day +1291 : A night visit to Setia Alam), we made another visit to Setia Alam after the church service this afternoon.

We decided not to purchase the RM1.5 million 3-storey shop lot due to congestion on Saturday night market. The agent introduced us another lot in which the ground and first floor are for sale at RM0.9 million. The top floor belongs to another owner.

We were very interested even though it is not facing the main road. The purpose of this afternoon visit was to see the condition of the units and if we were satisfied, to pay the agent 2% deposit. But we were put off by the condition - extremely heavy leaking with plenty of green fungus :-( We decided on the spot that this one is not for us.

After seeing us having no interest to purchase this one, the agent introduced us to a corner lot where the first floor is for sale at RM0.6 million. And this one is located at a busier location that is next to EON Bank. It is also somehow facing the main road and the resident area. The ground floor is Kiwi X'press restaurant whereas the second floor is office. The third floor is a ballet centre.

Now we are deciding should we purchase this unit.

Ground floor looked fine

Sharing the staircase
The concrete cover is so thin! All this while we thought that Setia Group produces higher quality buildings but this one along tell us that it is not the case.
Another view that show how shallow the concrete cover
Fungus
Water leaked from the top floor
After we show no interest on the units, the sale agents brought us to the first floor of a corner lot.

This is the one. The residential area is just opposite.
