Real Property Gain Tax is back!

I guess most of you would have known by now, RGPT of 5% is back. Looks like there are more considerations to be done whether to sell off or renting out current house.

We're very excited about Balik Pulau house though, thinking of the peaceful life, better air quality and hopefully the highway will be ready for shorter time to workplace. Let's cross our fingers and hope some type of super/ hyper market, be it Sunshine or Giant or Tesco or Careffour will set its presence in Balik Pulau. When ppl hear that we plan to move to BP when Palmyra is ready, their first expresssion, "So Far!!!! Are you sure????" Ya, that is currently my worry as well, but think positive!

I'm sorry that there have been no updates, too busy to go to the site for some photos on project progress. To the readers, pls send in any photos if you have, due acknowledgement will be given!

RM5!

We had to go to the developer's office in Jelutong today because we "owe" the developer RM5 from the initial 5% payment. This is due to the difference in calculation method between the bank and us, where the bank performs rounding. Haih.. the Belleview lady told us that she had to call another buyer who "owe" them RM1!

Anyway, we were informed that there are still few units left, but the price of 20X62 is around RM416k now (~20k increase from my purchase price).

For those readers who have some photos on the latest site update, do email it to us at emandjay@gmail.com so that we can share to the rest of the future neighbours :)
How I wish developers can install some CCTV at their site so that anxious buyers can constantly view the site development, instead of driving all the way there. It's a good practice though before you actually move in and need to travel that far everyday :)

Hubby and I are hoping that some type of supermarket/ hypermarket, be it Sunshine, or Careffour to launch its presence in Balik Pulau. It will be perfect then!
