Enlightening session for houseowners

Homemakers learned quite a few things about buying property in Penang during a talk that gave them insights and tips on getting the best out of their investment.

The session entitled ‘The Talk of The Town – An Exclusive Property and Feng Shui Talk’ hosted by BSG Property saw Ho Chin Soon and Master Kenny Hoo sharing their knowledge with their attentive audience.

Ho, the founder of Ho Chin Soon Research Sdn Bhd in his talk titled ‘Comparing Penang with Greater Kuala Lumpur and Iskandar Malaysia’, said Penang ranked third in the price index for housing after Sabah and Kuala Lumpur.

“With the opening of the Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah Bridge, house prices in Batu Kawan will slowly hike up. Properties in Bukit Mertajam and Prai are catching up in terms of prices as well,” he said during his recent talk at BSG’s sales gallery in Northam Road, Penang.

Ho said property prices could go up by 50% more if the proposed high-speed train was implemented in the country.

“Properties near stations will rise up pretty fast,” he said.

Ho said Tanjung Bungah and Bukit Gambir were areas worth investing in.

“These places are rapidly growing and the developments coming up in the two areas can be a valuable investment,” he said.

The audience also learned about the dos and don’ts by Hoo, a good feng shui geomantic researcher. - By The Star
