Laurel Residence scorecard

Six sub-scores from 0 to 10, each with its formula and inputs. Data-based, not a recommendation; there is no overall total.

• Price vs area: 4.0 / 10 — Lowest asking RM 909 psf vs median RM 864 psf of 2 other new launches in Bangsar South: +5%. Formula: 5 − (gap % ÷ 5), kept within 0–10. Gap = this project's lowest asking psf against the median lowest asking psf of the other new launches in the same locality (needs 2 or more). Parity = 5; every 5% cheaper adds a point.
• Rail access: 5.5 / 10 — 14 min to KJ19 Universiti, 1112 m on foot (OSM route). Formula: 10 − (walk minutes − 5) ÷ 2, kept within 0–10. Five minutes or less = 10; 25 minutes or more = 0. Walk = measured OpenStreetMap route where one exists, otherwise straight-line × 1.3 at 80 m a minute.
• Density: 1.4 / 10 — 1,260 units ÷ 42 floors = 30.0 a floor; 20 of 144 other projects pack more. Formula: 10 × share of the portal's projects that put more homes on each floor (units ÷ floors). Fewer homes per floor scores higher.
• Supply pressure in area: 3.7 / 10 — 19,282 incoming + planned vs 60,757 standing in Mukim Kuala Lumpur: 32%. Formula: 10 × (1 − pipeline ÷ 50%), kept within 0–10. Pipeline = condominium/apartment units under construction plus planned, as a share of the units already standing (NAPIC stock table). 0% = 10; 50% or more = 0.
• Affordability vs district income: 9.0 / 10 — RM 450,000 ÷ (RM 10,234 × 12), W.P. Kuala Lumpur 2022: 3.7 years. Formula: 10 − 1.5 × (years − 3), kept within 0–10. Years = entry price ÷ (median monthly household income × 12) for the district (DOSM). Three years or less = 10.
• Developer record: not scored — Not enough data on record. Formula: 10, minus 5 for each sick project, 10 for each abandoned project and 3 for each entry on the TEDUH offence list; minus 2 when TEDUH lists fewer than 2 projects (short record). Not scored until the developer is looked up on TEDUH.
