I spent most of today viewing several apartments in the KL suburbs. The viewings had been arranged by Soo, a fellow hasher, who has a sideline as an estate agent. Last year I looked at a number of condos in the Mont Kiara area of KL, which is near where I am currently staying and is very popular with ex-pats. This time I was recommended to look in the Bangsar area, which is nearby and also a very popular ex-pat location.
My conclusions? Bangsar is certainly a pleasant part of KL to live, with a lively village atmosphere and even a rail station on one of the few lines into town. I looked at a wide spectrum of apartments ranging from the ultra-luxurious to the merely comfortable. Certainly great value for money compared to the UK. Even the most sumptuous top-end place was priced at less than 50% of the value of my humble Brentford apartment, but 50% larger! Definitely one to think about, but I am in no rush to buy at present as the UK£ is still too sick relative to most Asian currencies.
