Want a landed property as your first home? Here’s how you can.
Many homeowners harbour the dream of eventually living on landed property. That’s because there are just some things that a landed property can give you that a high-rise can’t, for example, ample space, a driveway, and no more waiting for elevators. The main reason why many first-time home buyers do not consider a landed property as their first home is cost. Landed properties are exorbitant in places that are more accessible, and therefore unaffordable to most first-time home buyers.
That saying, there are many considerations to buying a home besides just cost. Here are some things you should consider, and perhaps you may find that there is sense in considering a landed property as your first home.
Your little piece of land
Some believe that landed property is the better choice because ultimately you own the land your house is built on and not a piece of air in the sky when it comes to a high-rise. Even if you discount that slightly archaic notion, there is a comfort that comes from knowing that the land your house is built in is yours. That comes with the added benefit of having that little bit more privacy when going to and from your home.
There is also no need to share crucial common spaces with others like in a high-rise and a landed property just gives you easier access to green spaces like your garden and maybe a playground down your street.
It can be affordable …
Yes, generally landed properties do cost more than high-rise ones and that is why most first-time home buyers would immediately discount them as an option but that is not always the case. There are landed properties out there that offer you all the benefits it brings but without the hefty price tag. Take for example, Aderyn’s double storey homes in Setialamsari, Kajang. Prices for a beautiful and spacious freehold terrace home start at a very affordable net price of RM596,000*, markedly lower than what a high-rise condo may cost in the Klang Valley.
… and accessible
A common grouse amongst homeowners when it comes to considering a landed property is how you have to often sacrifice accessibility for affordability. While that can be true to an extent, a more important factor to consider is the livability of the area the property is in.
Aderyn, for instance, is situated just a 15-minute drive away from Kajang,15 min to Bandar Baru Bangi and just a 25-minute drive away from Cheras, giving it access to two of the largest townships around the KL City Centre. Prominent amenities such as UKM, Danau Golf, Bangi Golf, Bangi Wonderland Theme Park, Kajang Hospital, Serdang Hospital and UKM Specialist Centre are just a short drive away. For great weekends with the family, the massive IOI City Mall in Putrajaya which is packed with F&B outlets, fashion stores and a cinema is only just a 20-minute drive away.
In terms of education for your kids for now or in the future, you have access to established education institutions such as the German-Malaysian Institute, Sekolah Rendah Al-Amin, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, and SMK Bandar Baru in Bangi. While in Kajang and Semenyih alone, there are more than thirty primary and secondary national schools.
You will also have access to major highways such as Lekas, KL-Seremban Highway and Kajang-SILK which can take you to most places in Klang Valley. For public transport, the KTM Bangi station and the Kajang MRT station are just a very short 13-minute drive away giving you easy access to places around the Klang Valley such as Petaling Jaya, Subang and the KL City Centre.
More space to grow into
As we grow older and our affordability improves, it’s inevitable that the need for a bigger space also becomes more pressing. When that happens, many home owners, find themselves having to upgrade from their high-rise property to possibly a landed one. If you purchase a spacious landed property with space to spare, you won’t need to do that. This means that you can save expenditure on legal fees, renovations costs and more because your first home is able to accommodate your space needs even later in life.
In the case of Aderyn, even the smallest units (Type B) have a built-up size of between 1,687 to 1,904 sq. ft. (depending on if it’s a corner, intermediate or end unit) with four rooms and three bathrooms, giving you or your young family plenty of space to grow into later in life. If you desire even more space than that, you can opt for the Type A units which as slightly larger at 1,685 – 1,938 sq. ft.
