The Grand 9 review: pros, cons and who it suits
The Grand 9 is a Double Storey Semi-D in Pengkalan & St18, Ipoh, Perak, on 35' x 100' lots, 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, leasehold, already completed. Starting at RM950,000.
Who it suits
- You need somewhere to move into rather than wait — this one is already completed
- You need 4 bedrooms for a family, or three plus a study
Who it does not suit
- You were counting on the first-home stamp duty exemption — that ceiling is RM500,000, and this is above it
- You will only buy freehold — this is leasehold

What to check before you buy The Grand 9
Leasehold, and the title already exists
The Grand 9 is leasehold and already completed, which means the title is issued and the clock has been running. Ask for the commencement date and the expiry date on the title itself and work out the remaining years — that number, not the word "leasehold", is what your bank and the next buyer will look at. Selling later also needs state consent, which adds time to the transaction. What happens when a leasehold title expires in Perak sets out the rest.
It is built, so inspect it properly
The advantage of a completed house is that nothing has to be imagined, so use it. Go in daylight. Check the ceiling corners and the wet areas for staining, run every tap and flush, open and close every door and window, and look at the workmanship on the finishes rather than the show-unit styling. Ask whether CCC (Certificate of Completion and Compliance) has been issued for this unit, and walk the actual street and the actual neighbours — not the masterplan. An off-plan buyer cannot verify any of this before committing; you can.
What the land gives you
The Grand 9 is a 35' x 100' lot, 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. At 35 feet of frontage this is a wide lot, and the practical gain is at the sides: room to walk around the house, windows on the side elevation, and space to extend later without building to the boundary. The 100-foot depth is generous — once the building footprint is taken out there is usable garden left, not just a strip. (the built-up area: not stated in the information I have — worth asking for.)

Is The Grand 9 freehold or leasehold?

How much cash do I need to buy The Grand 9?
The main upfront item is the 10% down payment, about RM95,000 at the starting price, less whatever the booking fee already covers.

Who is The Grand 9 suitable for?
On the published specification the main draws are Low Density — 8 Units Only, Extra-Long Car Porch (4 Cars) and 10ft Extra Land Behind. Whether it fits depends on your budget, how long you intend to hold it and how the location works for your daily commute.
