Hi Mads,

I am Danish living in KL and I will be happy to point you in the right direction :)

Basically there are two typical expat areas around KL - Bangsar (quite cozy but $$$$$expensive compared to the value) and Ampang (more central in relation to KL, further from the airport - slightly more reasonable than Bangsar compared to the value).

Personally I stayed in Bangsar for two years and got fed up with the place. Tired of feeling I have to pay twice the price than everybody else just because I have a white face. Now I stay smack in the center of KL and I love it. Not exactly a typical expat area - although there are plenty of expats around.

Anyway - there are tons of oportunities depending exactly what's your prefs. Be aware it can be a bleeding nightmare to make local real estate agents understand non-local requirements. They seem to think that you are from Europe - ergo you have tons of money (and are most happy to caugh them up) and thus only look at something expensive no matter what kind of place it is. I went through five real estate agents myself - and none of them could understand my simple message: I want this, this, this, this and this - and this is what I am prepared to pay - go find or you won't get the deal. Instead I was forced to walk through tons of fancy pools (which was NOT one of my requirements and which I know I will never use), tons of squash courts (which was not one of my requirements and which I know I will never use) etc. etc. etc.

Anyway - feel free to send me an email if you need further info or have any questions. My email is lth@cow.dk

Dear Mads,

My name is T.K. and I am delighted to tell you that my company City Real Properties specialises in finding accomodations for expats coming into Malaysia. We even help expats to register their children into International schools. Currently we have in our files more than one hundred and fifty accomodations, some of which I believe will meet your need. However, in order for me to serve you better I would appreciate it if you could furnish me with answers to these questions.
1. What kind of International Schools you prefer,
American or British?
2. What is your budget? (Kuala Lumpur is a big city so
I would suggest renting first and later when you
familiarise yourself with Kuala Lumpur than you can
opt for buying)
3. Do you prefer a house (not much facilities) or
a condominium with lots of facilities?
4. What sort of facilities are you looking for? E.g. 24
hours security, gym, sauna, limo service, children
play ground and etc. (We promise we would not
march you through swimming pools and tennis
courts if that is not within your agenda)
5. When would you be available in Malaysia for
viewings?
6. When do you want your tenancy to commence?
7. Is there any other information that you need with
regard to living in Malaysia? E.g. opening up bank
account, visas, entertainment locations and etc.

I sincerely look forward to helping you and your family to find your ideal home here in Malaysia.

Thank you very much.

Hi!
i'm a Malaysian engaged to a Swede and I happen to do some part time real estate work.
I totally understand what you mean. We went through hell (this is before I ventured into real estate) trying to look for a nice houses without having to pay alot.
I mean we dont have a large budget nor do we want to spend that much on rent. The agents kept showing us houses for RM5,000 to Rm10,000 and they wouldnt tell you before hand how much it was they would just say "dont worry you will love the house, we can bargain down" and later get laughed at by the houseowner who didnt know what the agents were up to.
When I decided to get out from my 9-5 job and try something different. I though real estate! I mean I went through hell...so who better to understand than me right? I just saw your posting and I said to my self...that is soo bloody good and soo true!!
Cheers! Angela.
