Property in KL



I have spent most of the past two days looking at condos in the KL area, to assess what would be the best investment opportunities and/or somewhere I might actually want to live. First impressions are that, not surprisingly, you get a lot more for your money in KL than in even a relatively low cost area of Greater London like Brentford. I would estimate that prices are roughly 1/3 of the West London equivalent. The internal build quality is excellent, although the exteriors tend to be unimaginative concrete slabs. The communal amenities are also very comprehensive, usually including swimming pool, gym, sauna, tennis and swash courts, etc. One downside is that you need to own a car wherever you are located as public transport to the suburbs is nonexistent. All of the expats I have talked to say that they have found it very easy to settle in to KL and now consider it as home. We shall see.
