After renovation, I wish so much we can stay our new house. But due to some reasons, we decided to rent out whole Finally our house was successfully rented out too ^^.

Hi
Great photos and great information.
How much did you rent out your place? Any comments ;about the house agent? good or bad?
December 6th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
House agent was nice and helpful. You may consider him if you want to rent out your property.
December 14th, 2010 at 12:05 am
How about the workmanship of your house contractor?. Very satisfied of so so la.
December 14th, 2010 at 11:05 pm
I quite satisfied on his workmanship. Besides that, our contractor always picked us from Bukit Indah Jusco to Eco Garden as we did not have transport:P So, his service is great lo Then, the most important thing when finding a contractor is the “Responsibility”! Mean after the renovation if found any problem.They should follow up and solve for you
December 15th, 2010 at 2:11 am
Ok, pls give your contractor hp no, company name and what is reno done by this contractor?. Thanks a lot.
December 15th, 2010 at 10:41 pm
Mr Ong – +60177121235 from Advance Interior. So far, he only did grill door/window, dry kitchen table top, wet kitchen table top, electrical installation for us, that’s why we didnt see much problems. His finished working is good but maybe pricy abit. We chose him among 3 different groups of contractors as we have transport and time problem. As my suggestion, if possible, you look for a few contractors and compare yourself before making final decision

Hi ~ We do not own any property in sg Actually we not really sure hows the rental market in JB. Some quite ok but some very low. So far, our area quite new, so the rental is only around RM1k to RM1.5k depend on your house furnishing ^^ So, you own any property in sg? Malaysian?

Hi
I am singaporean. bought Araskia. friend recommend. wanted to buy visellia but buy Araskia instead bcoz of timing.
I just attended the owners briefing. Sp setia say can collect keys in Jan 2011. I not aure if I want to stay there or rent out.
I got some troubles at home so most likely my sg home will be forced to sell. but that means i wont be able to buy a sg house.
This new rules have made it even more difficult for me.
December 20th, 2010 at 11:55 am
haha….i bot before the new rules. But need to save money to buy….loan interest is quite high. i saw some referal reward on SETIA website…you guys used this reward to offset the 10% downpayment right ?
December 20th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
Hi Hira, welcome abroad to be part of Eco Garden’s resident I believe you will start busy about your house in yr 2011 & alot tough decision need to be made in order to proceed your next step. We also passed through a tough period past few mths but dont worry be happy, everything can be solved one day just like us ^^ So, I wish you all the best n good luck~
December 20th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
Hi XQ, SP Setia always has different promotions one. You can call (607) 555 2525 to check out the latest promotion During the time I bought the house, I got 25k offset of my 10% downpayment. Meanwhile, there is a referral program too. Means that if you friend also bought a house from SP Setia be my referal. Both of us can get a 3k discount So, after offset everything, I still need to pay 4.3k ^^ Recently I just received a sms from SP Setia too..sms as following : “Enjoy additional rebate up to RM10k on 19 Dec 10 @Setia Eco Gardens. Amazing Ice carving, horse carriage, Santa Clause ..& Mystery gifts awaits u. T & C apply” Hope that you can get your ideal dream house soon!

hi, im seeking to rent a house in ECO gardens, please call me at 017-4782775 should anyone keen to rent their house to me. thanks a million =)
April 18th, 2011 at 12:07 am
Sorry QiQi…just to ask, how much you rented out your unit ? Is it through agent ? I just dropped by Setia Eco Garden today to find out more info but was told that Setia Eco Garden may not be good for investment.
April 18th, 2011 at 9:59 pm
Hi Xiao Qiang, please refer to my previous comments about the rental and agents:). About your question in good to invest, it was quite hard to answer u ^^ cause Eco Garden is still a new development. So, alot things still under development. Not much facilities yet. Mayb wait for few yrs later. You may see the result By the way, the main purpose I bought Eco Garden house is not for investment but for living. I love the environment there compare to Bukit Indah. If you really wish to invest, you may consider Bukit Indah. But the house price seem like expensive now. In conclusion, so far I felt that buying house at Eco Garden still my right choice as I found that the rental there not bad and I believe the price will increase few years later…Is good to buy a landed property since you young!
April 19th, 2011 at 9:53 am
Hi QiQi…thanks. Are you renting out the unit now and then move in to stay later ? Haha…yes, its good to own a landed property when you are young ^-^ but i already have commitment in SG and i definitely need to rent the place out if i bot one. I am not looking at high rental but at least offload me to a certain percentage from the point of monthly installment. I like Eco garden as well, greeny and organised (as of now). Yeah, the basic infrastructure still not fully in placed yet…need to travel quite a distance to buy grocery or for food…nice talking to you
April 19th, 2011 at 10:12 pm

Hi..I’ve bought a unit in Avatha 2.. really like the environment there ^^
just concern bout the electricity port there.. any comment?
November 27th, 2012 at 11:01 am
Hi, nice to hear that! Sure you ll enjoy staying there.
According to electric port, I believe shldn’t be an issue as sp setia is quite a well known developer. Before they develop this land, i think they already take this into consideration n make sure this area will safe from the electric port.
November 27th, 2012 at 10:17 pm
Hi, I would like to book for Avatha as well. The electricity port is my concern. Also, the road towards setia eco garden is a bit isolated, especially when you’re driving at night. Is the place convenient for those working in Singapore but would like to stay in JB? appreciate your comments.
November 27th, 2012 at 11:28 pm
Er.. My tenant is Singaporean o… Somemore lots Residence there work in sg stay there, they jz travel everyday..but must hv transport la. By bus then not convenience d.
