Well, this place cost me about RM 224K (USD 59K). You need to add RM 5-7K (USD 1.5K) for government duties and lawyer fees. And then about RM 30-50K (USD 8-13K) for renovations, lighting and furniture.

Ken, yours is just a condominium. You don't need to spend as much as a house. You don't even have a car porch to redo! I had to spend an extra RM 7K (USD 1.8K) just to tile up the car porch and fix grills for all the windows.

Luckily, this house is pretty well-finished, with most electrical connections already there. Also, it has full plaster ceiling at the top floor. So, that saves me quite a bit of money.

Congrats.Adrian. The house look solid & well built. Actually ur price
sound resonable. In kuching the house over last few years has gone out of this world , now for a terrace hse is costing around 280- 320K from previously 165K just a few years ago. Renovation can cost a bomb, may be as much as the hse. We always go out of budget when come to renovation !It is all ur idea or lady of the hse when come to chosing the hse & the interior ?

Well, I guess it also depends a lot on the cost of the land.

This house is on freehold land which is valued at RM 25 (USD 6.58) per sq. ft. which is pretty cheap, I guess. Probably since it was converted from Malay reserve land.

If you are a Bumiputra, you can get the same house for a lot cheaper at about RM 150K (USD 42K) if the project is on Malay reserve land.

Well, the RM 30-50K estimate for renovations, lighting and furniture is the minimum I think in most cases. Of course, the sky's the limit. But generally, condominiums or flats cost less to renovate and furnish than houses.

Anyway, I can't afford anything fancy, so I'm going for as low as I can get.

Err.. There used to be a small spot of land. You can see it in one of the pictures. But I tiled over it so that I can park two cars inside.

Well, I put in about 4 air-conditioners. But I also put in 5 fans. Can't afford the electricity bill that goes with ful air-conditioning.

It's behind Kota Mas, actually. In Ayer Keroh. About 5 km from the Melaka General Hospital.
