  在吉隆坡物色房子的B先生和B太太，最终锁定的目标是处于同一个住宅区内的两间相邻的房子 第一间房子刚经过大肆装修，而第二间只有略微的整修过。虽然第一间房子的价格比另一间低10%，但令人意外的是，B先生和B太太最终选择了第二间房子。 B太太称：“我不喜欢第一间房子的装修风格，我们知道本身会需要花很多钱把很多装修拆卸、清理和重新修整。因此，虽然第2间单位装修较少，但我们对它更加满意。” 她也表示，“这关乎品味和实用性。我学到的教训是，不要以为花钱翻新房子，就能提高它的价值。” 大马私人界产业顾问、经纪、产业管理人与估价师协会（PEPS）主席Michael Kong 表示，屋主们普遍认为，花在装修方面的钱越多，房子的价值越高。 “从估价师的角度出发，花哨的装饰或配件对增加房产价值的帮助甚小。估价师不会将装修所花的钱完全纳入考虑，因为大部分的装修都是个人喜好。” 他续称，估价师考虑的是市场价值，而市场认为实际和实用的，才是有价值的，例如，比起喷泉这样花俏的装饰，扩大房屋面积才是市场认为有价值的装修。 他也提醒说，装修必须符合建筑物规范的规定，估价师才会将它们纳入估值。   贷款装修房子——应不应该？ 究竟要不要为了装修房子而贷款？马来西亚房地产中介协会（MIEA）候任主席Lim Boon Ping并不鼓励人们为了装修而贷款。他相信，量入为出才是恰当的做法。 “通常，人们买的第1间房子都不是他们理想中的家，因此，首购族应以可否负担为主要考量。他们可以几年后再考虑装修或卖掉房子，我绝不鼓励借钱装修。” 装修房子非常盛行，Lim表示，人们总是希望获得更好的居住环境，尤其是年轻人。他称，年轻一代通常愿意在装修方面花更多的钱，这可能是因为同侪间的压力。“首购族在房子装修上花费约5万令吉至10万令吉，是很常见的。” Ideal Mortgage Specialist私人有限公司的营销主管Vincent Ching指出，人们经常使用个人贷款来装修，因为银行没有限制个人贷款的用途。 Lim和Ching都常遇到陷入财务困境的借款人。 Ching称，有的人因为在房屋装修上花费过多而陷入财务困境。“相信导致这种情况的原因包括缺乏规划、超出预算和选错了装修承包商。” 他指出，室内设计师和总承包商通常都会将工作分派给分包商。若屋主能够直接找到合适的装修工人，便可省下部分费用，例如自己找电工而不是让承包商代找。 Lim坦言，他有看过一些装修半途而废的房子，包括内部装修和涉及主要结构的装修。他赞同“装修未必会增加房子价值”的说法，并表示：“花费10万令吉来装修，不会让你的房产随之增值10万令吉。” Ching也补充说，装修的估值非常主观，一些估价师可能认为房屋结构上的改动有为房子增值，但不把一些室内装修考虑在内。 对此，Lim建议人们要务实，不要过度花费在奢华的装修上。“时下新潮的设计，可能在多年以后变得不流行了。”   为何要贷款？ 无论如何，也有人认为贷款装修房子是合理的。刚买入30岁不久的银行家Patrick Chin对EdgeProp.
