Every "Detached" house is categorized as a "Bungalow" nowadays. 

Hmm, probably it sounds nicer, and probably it's more classy.

Anyway, for a brand new single storey corner terrace in Lutong, with a built-up area of around 3000 sq.ft. would mostly escalates up to RM300K. With the new MYY mall estimated to complete this year, and future large developments in Senadin by Miri Housing Estate, Lutong and Pujut will eventually shift to be a new strategic central location to most commercial areas.

Detached - FOOH!

Location - FOOH!

Tiled Front Yard - FOOH!
Built-up Area - Double FOOH!

It's a 5-FOOH! rating. Not up to excellent, but having good potential.

PropertyFella's Verdict: 

House overall seems well maintained. Length of tenure left have to be double checked, stated 60 years would be the original tenure length when the house is newly built. If it's less than 20 years, the price will steepen at least half of its offered price. Would at least need another RM100K for proper renovation, get rid of the curves, some new roof tilings and windows, and probably a nicer automatic gate. Expansion is highly encouraged, utilizing the wide compound, but of course, the cost would be another different story then.

Same fella offering both the "Bungalow"s in Lutong as the top SPOTTED!, and now Tudan. Nothing much differs, and it's just seems that it's a bit ill-maintained, making it looks dirtier and messier than the previous one. With both designs compared, probably this is a lot more later-built as well. 

Most likely that leads to the reason why the price is almost RM100K in difference. Eventually you'll need to dump it back in as maintenance expenses as well. No inner views are available, thus furnishings are unknown.

Detached - FOOH!  

Price - Double FOOH!
Built-up Area - Double FOOH!

And... it's a 5 FOOH! as well.

PropertyFella's Verdict: 

Again, it lies upon tenure and renovation issues as well. Less bedrooms, probably larger room perhaps. Tudan's traffic, hmm, unless the roads are widened, I am not impressed. Zinc roof, if I am not mistaken, and it's going to be stuffy within the house during hot hours. It's a bit of a mixture area in Tudan, school, garages, church, clinic, residential area, vacant lands, not much planned developments.  However, advantage lies in that it is not a packed area. And spacious surroundings prove to be less spiritually tensioned for residents. Preferences are still on you.
