House Hunting (Part 1)

Early 2012.... when we decided nak kahwin....Mr N masa tu da start searching for our future house.
Tapi masa tu..still consider juga..sama ada nak sewa..atau terus beli.

FIRST kriteria nak cari rumah...adalah lokasi.
Since, i keje kt cyberjaya...tapi Mr. N keje dkt PJ... haruslah priority nak duduk area Seri kembangan/ Puchong / Cyberjaya or Putrajaya. Nampak mcm jauh Mr. N nk kena berulang pegi keje.. but we all keje bahagian IT ni mmg sng sket nk cari keje lain.. especially kt cyberjaya kan. so, maybe in future Mr. N bley cari keje lain dkt cyber jugak. ^^

Second kriteria... jenis rumah...
Haruslah rumah landed/teres yg jadi pilihan kami.
I mmg agak susah kot nak beli rumah apartment/kondo..walaupon harga murah.... errr.. better say no. Sbb tak suke dan benci giler byr duit maintenance. hihihi... slalu maintenance...tiap2 bulan kena byr. tu yg mcm...erkkkk... seumur hidup kot kena byr..selagi tak kiamat la katakn. so.. ok..i so kedekut nk kuarkn extra money on maintenance. Lg satu..bab parking! selama 3 tahun i keje...mmg menyewa kt apartment/kondo je. Mmmg da merasa la berebut2 parking..gaduh2 ngn pakguard..kete kena clamp. so, NO! tanak lg tggal kt apartment. blom lg dgn tak kenal jiran tetangga...or rumah atas tumbuk sambal..rumah tepi ada renovation. haishh...

Third kriteria... harga...
hihihi..haruslah consider ni jugak kan. kena la pilih harga rumah yg bersesuaian ngan status/taraf kehidupan sekarang.


After googling around... Mr. N suggest kat i rumah teres di Cyberjaya.
size: 20x70, 4 bilik, 2 bilik air, 1 store
Harga : 200k
And he send me this pic.




My 1st reaction was like... WHAT??? rumah kecik mcm ni da 200k. pitam weihh. hahaha. that house exactly like my parents house back in Perak. 27 years ago..diorg beli dgn harga 34k je. but now...anak dia kena byr 200k. its so unfair! ahahaha.

Tapi lepas browse around...especially rumah landed area equine..harga lg mahal. nak dok bangi? hmm... lupa kan la cita2 nk beli umah kt bangi tu. mencanak2 harga. After that...i start consider with this house yg Mr. N suggestkn. then proceed with planning. where to fork out 10% downpayment, which is...20k!

i've come with an idea...to pinjam from my parents... hihihi...tapi..tapi... my mom reject it. so...i trus da tak berani tanya lg.. buat tak tahu je.. While Mr. N and I, have to come with other plan. Sbb bila kira2 blk.. sewa rumah area sini saje da bape...more than rm600 per month (tu rumah apartment). kalo landed? siap la dlm rm700 to rm1k per month. So, we try to keep searching house below 200k. which is...my current apartment yg i sewa. Desaminium Rimba, Seri Kembangan. size: 1200sqf. harga around 140k to 160k masa tu. not bad... murah... and ada 5 bilik. i pon ok je duduk sini. so..we all hold dulu psl rumah... and berpegang pada... "If ada rezeki..insyaAllah..kita beli nanti" and continue our wedding prep.

Tetiba... di bulan Ramadhan yg penuh berkat.... My dad tanya pasal rumah. Jadi ke nak beli? i dgn berat hati...bgtau tak jadi... ye la.. mana nk cari cash smpai 20k - 30k? nak harapkan akaun ke 2 kwsp kami pon..bape sgt la yg bley tampung..maybe half tu lepas la. Tapi.. ni haa..dgn nak kawen lg? haishh.. pening ok. So, that time...my dad pujuk my mom..and they decide kuarkn sorg stgh utk my downpayment. OMG! ada harapan....

After i bertunang... 31 Ogos 2012... seminggu lepas tu... we start pegi melawat kawasan rumah kt cyber tu. nak tgk betul2. tak ramai lg yg pindah...sbb rumah tu baru release 2011, after 8 tahun terbengkalai! so...that why la design rumah tu....design lama. Bnyk lg rumah kosong..tp mostly dijual under agent. and price da naik jadi 250k! giler ok...tak smpai setahun pon lg...da naik 50k? wtf??? if jadi beli dari awal tahun hari tu...konfirm dpt jimat 50k. hahahahha..

So, Mr. N berjaya call satu agent...and surprisely...ada satu je lg rumah yg available. So, set appt on Friday..nk tgk rumah. harga yg ditawarkn...250k. Malam tu...we all ada contact with malay couple ni..nk jual rumah juga. diorg da renovate sume... so...if we all beli ngn melayu ni pon ok...nnt lepas kawen tak pyh fikir pasal nk psg lampu, kipas etc. Mlm tu juga pegi tgk rumah melayu ni... but guess what...diorg nk jual 280k! hell nooooo. nak ketuk another 30k...just for simple2..ciput2 renovate jer. Its so unrelaven. and makcik tu punya la pandai ckp..nak ketuk kitaorg ni.. siap bg ayat2 yg sakitkn hati lg.. "Ala...you all muda lg...masa ni nak habis bnyk psl rumah pon tak per... " eh makcik ingt kami ni muda..so, leh ketuk kami la ye? haha..tp tak de la ckp camtu kan. hihii just blah gitu jer. lgpon..we all ada option lain dgn agent.

Hari Jumaat, 7 Sept 2012....we all jumpa agent tu kt rumah yg nk dijual. Dia bw masuk dlm rumah.....and have a quick tour. I must say... I really lovee that house. tak bnyk sgt cacat cerla. tak de retak... not so much leaking ke ape. still terjaga rapi..despite of 8 tahun terbengkalai kan. and Agent also bgtau..rumah still under warranty with developer. So, alhamdulillah. On that day juga we all agree and sign the form. Following week, hari isnin, we all secure deposit 2% which is, 5k. phewwww.......

Excited mood update twitter.

ok... nnt sambung part 2 plak. hihi.. da pnjg sgt ni.. and cerita ni panjanggggg lg tau! hahaha
